For example
Luk 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.
Jesus had faith like no other man, in God, by the deeds He did. He obeyed God like no other even when it came to His own life.
As for this verse, what is not to understand?
God was....God was what? manifest or revealed in the flesh. God was seen of angels. God was taken up into glory. Even if you don't understand the justified part, if this is about God it is clearly speaking of the incarnation. Who was taken up into glory? Jesus in Acts 1

I think that as long as you continue to use the verse without proper understanding of part of it then you never will understand all of it. I've seen no one that can answer how God or even Jesus was ever justified in the Spirit. You've not even offered speculation on how this could happen.
Explaining how God or Jesus was justified in the Spirit could change the whole meaning of that verse and possibly even make it no longer suitable for a prooftext that Jesus is God. The thing is, until we understand that whole verse then we cannot say how its meaning might change when we fully understand it.
