For there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: I have heard persons ask, “Why do you say, ‘free grace’?

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Dear hearers, are you all justified, that is, made just, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus?

Whom God had set forth to be a propitiation,.... Redemption by Christ is here further explained, by his being "a propitiation": which word may design either Christ the propitiator, the author of peace and reconciliation; or the propitiatory sacrifice, by which he is so; and both in allusion to the mercy seat, which was a type of him as such. The...

To declare, I say, at this time, his righteousness,....
