Translation 21 But now, apart from the Torah, God’s righteousness has been manifested, being witnessed by the Torah and the Prophets. 22 God’s righteousness is unveiled through faith in Iēsous the Anointed One for all those who believe; for there is no partiality; 23 because all have offended and are shorn of God’s glory, 24 being undeservedly righteoused by his unmerited favor through the manumission which is in the Anointed Iēsous; 25 whom God publicly displayed as the seat of sacrifice and is appropriated through faith in his blood. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in God’s clemency he left unpunished the offences previously performed; 26 for the demonstration of his righteousness at the present time, so that God would be righteous and the righteouser of the one who has faith in Iēsous.
Great stuff. Have you thought about a whole New Testament in paraphrase language? love this passage, so important. Paul's temple theology dripping off the page. Presenting Jesus as atoning sacrifice, The Kapporeth (Heb) or Hilasterion (Greek), place of atonement, (lid....) meeting place of God and humans. the true high priest ripping out and throwing away the curtain that concealed the holy of holies, Leviticus 16 becoming exciting etc etc. thanks Mike

just a question, not looking for a fight. Are we "declared" righteous or "made" righteous?
Love it all Michael, great stuff. Jesus is God’s righteousness revealed!
