'Justify' in the Bible

But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

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

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”
