Romans 5:1:
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
(NIV)
THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
(AMP)
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 3:20:
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
(NIV)
For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].
(AMP)
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
(KJV)

Luke 6:37:
'Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.'
(NIV)
Judge not [neither pronouncing judgment nor subjecting to censure], and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and released.
(AMP)
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
(KJV)
|
The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.

Romans 5:9:
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
(NIV)
Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.
(AMP)
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
(KJV)
