Romans 3:26
Compare all
24 being justified1 freely aby His grace bthrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,  
25 whom God set forth aas a propitiation bby His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over cthe sins that were previously committed,  
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Boasting Excluded

27 aWhere is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.  
28 Therefore we conclude athat a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.  
29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,
30 since athere is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.  
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

Romans 3:26

For a demonstration of his righteousness - Both of his justice and mercy. That he might be just - Showing his justice on his own Son. And yet the merciful justifier of every one that believeth in Jesus. That he might be just - Might evidence himself to be strictly and inviolably righteous in the administration of his government, even while he is the merciful justifier of the sinner that believeth in Jesus. The attribute of justice must be preserved inviolate; and inviolate it is preserved, if there was a real infliction of punishment on our Saviour. On this plan all the attributes harmonize; every attribute is glorified, and not one superseded no, nor so much as clouded.
