What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? |
2
|
Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. |
3
|
For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? |
4
|
God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. |
5
|
But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) |
6
|
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? |
7
|
But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? |
8
|
and why not (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. |
9
|
What then? are we in worse case than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, 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 after God; |
12
|
They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one: |
13
|
Their throat is an open sepulchre; 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 what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God: |
20
|

21
|
But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; |
22
|
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; |
23
|
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; |
24
|
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: |
25
|
whom God set forth {cf15i to be} a propitiation, through faith, by his blood, to shew his righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; |
26
|
for the shewing, {cf15i I say}, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. |
27
|
Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. |
28
|

29
|
Or is God {cf15i the God} of Jews only? is he not {cf15i the God} of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: |
30
|
if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. |
31
|
Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law. |
