²⁴ being justified ^[a]freely ^(A)by His grace ^(B)through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth ^(C)as a ^[b]propitiation ^(D)by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over ^(E)the sins that were previously committed, ²⁶ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

^8 (A)For by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith, and that not of yourselves; ^(C)it is the gift of God,

⁸ That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but ^(A)the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

⁷ that having been justified by His grace ^(A)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent ^(A)to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

^5 (A)even when we were dead in trespasses, ^(B)made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

⁸ Now I say that ^(A)Jesus Christ has become a ^[a]servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, ^(B)to confirm the promises made to the fathers,
