Romans 4:25 For or Through our Justification?

Romans 4:25 in four translations:
RSV who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for
our justification.
KJV Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again
for our justification.
DBY who has been delivered for our offences and has been
raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.
YLT who was delivered up because of our offences, and was
raised up because of our being declared righteous.

The phrase DIA THN DIKAIWSIN hHMWN is treated oddly.

I would want to translate it "through the justification of us". Wouldn't
that be better than any of these?
