To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Study Note
The double theological assertion that God is 'just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus' — or 'who has the faithfulness of Jesus' (pistis Iēsou being debated as objective or subjective genitive) — is the axial statement of Paul's atonement theology in Romans 3. The problem Paul solves is the apparent contradiction between divine justice (which demands punishment for sin) and divine grace (which forgives sinners): the cross is the demonstration that God is both, simultaneously and without compromise. The phrase 'to show his righteousness at the present time' (verse 26) indicates that the cross is not merely a transaction but a public theodicy: God's patient forbearance before the cross required this final demonstration. The verse is central to penal substitution, Christus Victor, and moral influence theories of atonement in their different ways.
