Righteous God Who Justifies A Study on the Relationship between the Demonstration of God's Righteousness and the Justification of Sinners in Rom 3:24-26

This article discusses the meaning of the phrase delta iota kappa alpha iota omicron sigma?nu eta alpha?tau omicron?, which is repeated twice in Rom 3:24-26, and its tradition-historical background. Thus far, the topic of the demonstration of God's righteousness has not been sufficiently illuminated compared to the theme of justification by faith. Additionally, previous attempts to understand delta iota kappa alpha iota omicron sigma?nu eta alpha?tau omicron? as retributive justice or in accordance with the concept of m??? have not only distorted the meaning of delta iota kappa alpha iota omicron sigma?nu eta but also they have failed to explain convincingly how delta iota kappa alpha iota omicron sigma?nu eta alpha?tau omicron? is related to delta iota? tau?nu pi?rho epsilon sigma iota nu tau?nu pi rho omicron gamma epsilon gamma omicron nu?tau omega nu ?mu alpha rho tau eta mu?tau omega nu and delta iota kappa alpha iota omicron?nu tau alpha tau?nu ?kappa pi?sigma tau epsilon omega & sigmaf; ?eta sigma omicron?. Based on the analysis of text structure and key words, this study argues that Paul's thinking, which relates the issue of God's righteousness to the justification of sinners, is based on the Exodus tradition and the book of Isaiah.
