Romans 3:26

26 This was ^{▼▼ The words “This was” have been repeated from the previous verse to clarify that this is a continuation of that thought. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.} also to demonstrate ^{▼▼ Grk “toward a demonstration,” repeating and expanding the purpose of God’s action in v. 25a.} his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just ^{▼▼ Or “righteous.”} and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness. ^{▼▼ Or “of the one who has faith in Jesus.” See note on “faithfulness of Jesus Christ” in v. 22 for the rationale behind the translation “Jesus’ faithfulness.”}
