Righteousness is a Gift
Commentators unanimously see this verse as a powerful declaration of justification by faith. To be 'justified' means to be declared righteous by God, not through our own efforts, but 'in the Lord.' Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin see this as a clear foreshadowing of the New Testament teaching that righteousness is a gift received through faith in Christ.
