Chapter 3

1


 

  What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?  

 

 

--

2


 

  Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For what if some did not believe? will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?  

 

 

--

4


 

  By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.  

 

 

--

5


 

  But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)  

 

 

--

6


 

  By no means: for then how shall God judge the world?  

 

 

--

7


 

  For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?  

 

 

--

8


 

  And not rather (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.  

 

 

--

9


 

  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;  

 

 

--

10


 

  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:  

 

 

--

11


 

  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God.  

 

 

--

12


 

  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:  

 

 

--

14


 

  Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Their feet are swift to shed blood.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Destruction and misery are in their ways:  

 

 

--

17


 

  And the way of peace have they not known.  

 

 

--

18


 

  There is no fear of God before their eyes.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Now we know that whatever things the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Therefore by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.  

 

 

--

21


 

  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being testified by the law and the prophets;  

 

 

--

22


 

  Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference:  

 

 

--

23


 

  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  

 

 

--

24


 

  Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:  

 

 

--

25


 

  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;  

 

 

--

26


 

  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.  

 

 

--

28


 

  Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.  

 

 

--

29


 

  Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:  

 

 

--

30


 

  Seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.  

 

 

--

31


 

  Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but we establish the law.
