  1. Romans 3:25 προγεγονότων having taken place beforehand

    God presented Him as an atoning sacrifice in His blood through faith, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.

    Here: Perfect participle: sins that had already happened, in the time before God's present act in Christ ('the present time', v.26). The contrast is between eras, before and now, not between a person's past and future sins.
