26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.


In Context

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
