Romans 3:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
24 they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement[a] by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed; 26 it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.[b]

New International Version
24 and all are justified(A) freely by his grace(B) through the redemption(C) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[a](D) through the shedding of his blood(E)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(F)— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
