New American Standard Bible 1995
23 for all [a](A)have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift (B)by His grace through (C)the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as (D)a [b]propitiation [c](E)in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, [d]because in the (F)forbearance of God He (G)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 [e]has faith in Jesus.
