We have discovered that Paul employs the term "justification" quite a lot. The original Greek word is (in English) dikaioo (dik-ah-yo'-o).
Here is an example from Romans chapter 5 verse 1 from the New International Version:
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
In printing, to justify one's text is to have it line up. In English, it is usual to justify the text to the left, as we see in this blog post.
Joyce may be able to enlighten us on the way this was achieved prior to the advent of typewriters and computers. Does anyone have any clues?
