He means that God makes them right with himself. If your readers would not understand this, you could express the meaning plainly.

Paul says the same thing twice, in slightly different ways, to show what is truly means to obey God’s law. If saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can combine these ideas into one.

If this would be misunderstood in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language.
