Set forth; exhibited.

Propitiation; propitiatory sacrifice.

Through faith in his blood; that the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ may benefit a man, he must appropriate it to himself through faith in Christ's blood; for it was by the shedding of his blood that the propitiation was made.

Declare his righteousness; show that he is righteous, in the forgiveness of sinners who believe on Christ.

Sins that are past; committed in past times, and which God forbore to punish. The influence of Christ's atonement extends backward to the first believer, and forward to the end of time. From Abel to the trump of the archangel, all who are justified and saved receive this gift through the blood of Christ.
