There are commonly six causes made necessary to concur in justification.

1. The efficient cause — God, the Party that doth justify.

2. The final cause — His own glory.

3. The meritorious cause — Christ's merit.

4. The inward instrumental cause — faith.

5. The formal cause, or that wherein justification consists.

6. The external, instrumental cause — the Word of God.

(J. Durham.)

KJV: He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

WEB: After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
