Romans 3:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,^{(A) 25} whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement^[a] by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;^{(B) 26} it was to demonstrate at the present time his own righteousness, so that he is righteous and he justifies the one who has the faith of Jesus.^[b]
