'Justify' in the Bible

And he said to them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.

for the shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of the faith of Jesus.

since indeed it is one God who shall justify the circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.
