Romans 3:25-26
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 whom God displayed publicly as (A)a [a]propitiation [b](B)in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, [c]because in the (C)forbearance of God He (D)passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, 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.

New Living Translation
25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, 26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
