Romans 3:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 [a]And are justified [b]freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 [c]Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his [d]blood to declare his righteousness, by the forgiveness of the sins that [e]are passed,
26 Through the [f]patience of God, to show at [g]this time his righteousness, that he might be [h]just, and a [i]justifier of him which is of the [j]faith of Jesus.

- Romans 3:24 Therefore this righteousness touching us, is altogether freely given, for it standeth upon those things which we have not done ourselves, but such as Christ hath suffered for our sakes, to deliver us from sin.
- Romans 3:24 Of his free gift, and mere liberality.
- Romans 3:25 God then is the author of that free justification, because it pleaseth him: and Christ is he, which suffered punishment for our sins, and in whom we have remission of them: and the means whereby we apprehend Christ, is faith. To be short, the end is the setting forth of the goodness of God, that by this means it may appear, that he is merciful indeed, and constant in his promises, as he that freely, and of mere grace justifieth the believers.

Romans 3:24-26
New International Version
24 and all are justified(A) freely by his grace(B) through the redemption(C) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[a](D) through the shedding of his blood(E)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(F)— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
