'Justify' in the Bible

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed."
