1 Cor 6:11
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Declared righteous for His Names Sake, because of His Person and Work. This echos Gods Promise from the Prophet Isaiah Isa 45:25
In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
BTW the Seed Of Israel is but another way of saying the Seed of Abraham, or Abrahams Seed. Lets look at 2 Chron 20:7
Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
The Seed of Abraham here is the same as Israel. And again Isa 41:8
Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
And both Jew and Gentile Believers who belong to Christ are Abrahams Seed Gal 3:29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed/Israel, and heirs according to the promise.
Those in 1 Cor 6:11 were Justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus, they are also Israel, the Seed of Israel promised to be Justified in the Lord.
Now the whole point of this is to show that those Christ died for were Justified in His Name alone apart from their believing in Him, though that would come to pass later based upon the Divine Promise "The Just/Justified SHALL live by Faith"
Faith will be given by the Spirit to all whom have been Justified in the Person and Work of Christ !
