what advantage Then hath the Jew ? or what profit [ Is there ] of circumcision ?
much every way : chiefly , because that unto them were committed the oracles of God .
for what if some did not believe ? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect ?
God forbid : yea , let God be true , but every man A liar ; as it Is written , that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings , And mightest overcome when thou art judged .
but if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God , what shall we say ? [ Is ] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance ? [ I speak as A man ]
God forbid : for Then how shall God judge the world ?
for if the truth of God hath more abounded through my Lie unto his glory ; why yet am I also judged as A sinner ?
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 .
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 ;
as it Is written , there Is none righteous , no , not one :
there Is none that understandeth , there Is none that seeketh after God .
they are all gone out of the way , they are together become unprofitable ; there Is none that doeth good , no , not one .
their throat [ Is ] an open sepulchre ; with their tongues they have used Deceit ; the poison of asps [ Is ] under their lips :
whose mouth [ Is ] full of cursing And bitterness :
their feet [ are ] swift to shed blood :
destruction And misery [ are ] in their ways :
And the way of peace have they not known :
there Is no Fear of God before their eyes .
now we know that what things soever 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 .
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 .
but now the righteousness of God without the law Is manifested , being witnessed by the law And the prophets ;
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 :
for all have sinned , And come short of the glory of God ;
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that Is in Christ Jesus :
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 ;
to declare , [ I say ] , at this time his righteousness : that he might be just , And the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus .
where [ Is ] boasting Then ? it Is excluded . by what law ? of works ? Nay : but by the law of faith .
therefore we conclude that A man Is justified by faith without the deeds of the law .
Is he ] the God of the Jews only ? [ Is he ] not also of the Gentiles ? Yes , of the Gentiles also :
seeing [ it Is ] one God , which shall justify the circumcision by faith , And uncircumcision through faith .
do we Then make void the law through faith ? God forbid : yea , we establish the law .
