23 since all have sinned and continue to fall short of God’s glory.
24 By his grace they are justified freely through the redemption that is in the Messiah Jesus,
25 whom God offered as a place where atonement by the Messiah’s blood would occur through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because he had waited patiently to deal with sins committed in the past.
26 He wanted to demonstrate at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies anyone who has the faithfulness of Jesus.
