For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified [made right] freely by his grace through… Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice… through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his patience he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
