^{24 Ref} being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

^{25 Ref} whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice{or, a propitiation}, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;

^{26 Ref} to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
