Definition:

The terms "justify" and "justification" refer to causing a guilty person to be righteous. Only God can truly justify people.

  • When God justifies people, he forgives their sins and makes it as though they have no sin. He justifies sinners who repent and trust in Jesus to save them from their sins.
  • "Justification" refers to what God does when he forgives a person's sins and declares that person to be righteous in his sight.

Translation Suggestions:

  • Other ways to translate "justify" could include "declare (someone) to be righteous" or "cause (someone) to be righteous."
  • The term "justification" could be translated as "being declared righteous" or "becoming righteous" or "causing people to be righteous."
  • The phrase "resulting in justification" could be translated as "so that God justified many people" or "which resulted in God causing people to be righteous."
  • The phrase "for our justification" could be translated as "in order that we could be made righteous by God."
