Romans 3:5-6
3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I am speaking in human terms.)
3:6 Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world?
Romans 3:25-26
3:25 God publicly displayed
him
at his death
as the mercy seat
accessible through faith.
This was to demonstrate
his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.
3:26 This was
also to demonstrate
his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just
and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.
