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 the shewing (prov thn endeicin). Repeats point of eiv endeicin of Romans 3:25 with prov instead of eiv.

At this present season (en tw nun kairw). "In the now crisis," in contrast with "done aforetime."

That he might himself be (eiv to einai auton). Purpose with eiv to and the infinitive einai and the accusative of general reference.

Just and the justifier of (dikaion kai dikaiounta). "This is the key phrase which establishes the connexion between the dikaiosunh qeou and the dikaiosunh ek pistewv" (Sanday and Headlam). Nowhere has Paul put the problem of God more acutely or profoundly. To pronounce the unrighteous righteous is unjust by itself (Romans 4:5). God's mercy would not allow him to leave man to his fate. God's justice demanded some punishment for sin. The only possible way to save some was the propitiatory offering of Christ and the call for faith on man's part.
