Joshua, the High Priest

3 Then he showed me ^(A)Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and ^[a](B)Satan standing at his right to accuse him. ² And the Lord said to Satan, “^(C)The Lord rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the Lord who has ^(D)chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a ^(E)log snatched from the fire?” ³ Now Joshua was clothed in ^(F)filthy garments and was standing before the angel. ⁴ And he responded and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “^(G)Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have ^(H)taken your guilt away from you and ^[b]will ^(I)clothe you with festive robes.” ⁵ Then I said, “Have them put a clean ^(J)headband on his head.” So they put the clean headband on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the Lord was standing by.

²⁴ being justified as a gift ^(A)by His grace through ^(B)the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God displayed publicly as ^(C)a ^[a]propitiation ^[b](D)in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, ^[c]because in God’s merciful ^(E)restraint He ^(F)let the sins previously committed go unpunished; ²⁶ for the demonstration, that is, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who ^[d]has faith in Jesus.

⁵ But to the one who does not work, but ^(A)believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

³³ Who will bring charges against ^(A)God’s elect? ^(B)God is the one who justifies;

²¹ He made Him who ^(A)knew no sin to be ^[a](B)sin in our behalf, so that we might become the ^(C)righteousness of God in Him.

⁹ and may be found in Him, not having ^(A)a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, ^(B)the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
