Christ's resurrection therefore made it possible for God to count believers in Christ as if they are righteous, seeing that they are covered by his righteousness. Christ "was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Rom. 4:25), a word meaning 'to be righteous'.
Basi, ufufuo wa Kristo umemwezesha Mungu awahesabu wamino katika Kristo kana kwamba ni wenye haki, kwa kuwa wamefunikwa na kuzungukwa na haki yake. Kristo "alitolewa kwa njia ya makosa yetu na kufufuliwa ili tupate kuhesabiwa haki" (Rum 4:25).
