|
# they declared that God is righteous
|
|
|
|
"they said that God had shown himself to be righteous" or "they declared that God had acted righteously"

# because they had been baptized with the baptism of John

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "because they had let John baptize them" or "because John had baptized them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
