rwp @Romans:3:24 @{Being justified } (\dikaioumenoi \). Present passive participle of \dikaio “\, to set right , repeated action in each case , each being set right . {Freely } (\d “rean \). As in strkjv @Galatians:2:21 |. {By his grace } (\t ˆi autou chariti \). Instrumental case of this wonderful word \charis \ which so richly expresses Paul 's idea of salvation as God 's free gift . {Through the redemption } (\dia t ˆs apolutr “se “s \). A releasing by ransom (\apo , lutr “sis \ from \lutro “\ and that from \lutron \, ransom ). God did not set men right out of hand with nothing done about men 's sins . We have the words of Jesus that he came to give his life a ransom (\lutron \) for many (Mark:10:45 ; strkjv @Matthew:20:28 |). \Lutron \ is common in the papyri as the purchase-money in freeing slaves (Deissmann , _Light from the Ancient East_ , pp . 327f .). {That is in Christ Jesus } (\t ˆi en Christ “i I ˆsou \). There can be no mistake about this redemption . It is like strkjv @John:3:16 |.
