Then what is the superiority of the Jew? Or what is the profit of circumcision? |
2
|
Much, by every way! Chiefly, indeed, because they were entrusted with the oracles of God. |
3
|
For what? If some did not believe, will not their unbelief nullify the faith of God? |
4
|
Let it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, "That You might be justified in Your sayings, and will overcome when You are judged." |
5
|
But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.) |
6
|
Let it not be! For then how shall God judge the world? |
7
|
For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner? |
8
|
And not rather, (as we are wrongly accused, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do bad things that good may come? Their condemnation is just. |
9
|
What then? Do we excel? No, in no way; for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks all with being under sin, |
10
|
as it is written: "There is none righteous, no not one; |
11
|
there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God." |
12
|
"They are all gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no, not one." |
13
|
"Their throat is an open grave, 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 way, |
17
|
and the way of peace they did not know." |
18
|
"There is no fear of God before their eyes." |
19
|
But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God, |
20
|
because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin. |
21
|
But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; |
22
|
even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who 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 Christ Jesus; |
25
|
whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness through the passing by of the sins that had taken place before, in the forbearance of God; |
26
|
for the display of His righteousness at this time, for Him to be just and, forgiving the one being of the faith of Jesus. |
27
|
Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith. |
28
|
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law. |
29
|
Or is He the God of the Jews only, and not also of the nations? Yes, of the nations also, |
30
|
since it is one God who will justify circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. |
31
|
Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law. |
