'Justify' in the Bible
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;
Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.
that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and'shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
