ROMANS ยท Chapter 3
3:1 What advantage then has the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed
the oracles of God.
3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the
faith of God without effect?
3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is
written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might
overcome when you are judged.
3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what
shall we say? Is God unrighteous who takes vengeance? (I speak as a man)
3:6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
3:7 For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie unto his
glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm
that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
3:9 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;
3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
3:11 There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after
God.
3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become useless;
there is none that does good, no, not one.
3:13 Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have used
deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
3:19 Now we know that what things whatsoever the law says, it says
to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all
the world may become guilty before God.
3:20 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.
3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God has 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;
3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.
3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works?
Nay: but by the law of faith.
3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without
the deeds of the law.
3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles?
Yes, of the Gentiles also:
3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by
faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we
establish the law.
