Assist me with you analysis on the following example

NIV
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus

Arabic Life application Bible
ذَلِكَ الْبِرُّ الَّذِي يَمْنَØ*ُهُ اللهُ عَلَى أَسَاس الإِيمَانِ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيØ*ِ لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ. إِذْ لاَ فَرْقَ،

لأَنَّ الْجَمِيعَ قَدْ أَخْطَأُوا وَهُمْ عَاجِزُونَ عَنْ بُلُوغِ مَا يُمَجِّدُ اللهَ .

فَهُمْ يُبَرَّرُونَ مَجَّاناً، Ø¨ÙÙ†ÙØ¹Ù’Ù…ÙŽØªÙÙ‡ÙØ Œ بِالْفِدَاءِ بِالْمَسِيØ*ِ يَسُوعَ

The message
The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus--setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we've compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.
