Chapter 3

1 What5101 advantage4053 then3767 hath the3588 Jew?2453 or2228 what5101 profit5622 is there of circumcision?4061

2 Much4183 every3956 way:5158 chiefly,4412 3303 because1063 that3754 unto them were committed4100 the3588 oracles3051 of God.2316

3 For1063 what5101 if1487 some5100 did not believe?569 shall their848 unbelief570 3361 make the faith of God without effect?2673 3588 4102 2316

4 God forbid:1096 3361 yea, let God2316 be1096 true,227 but1161 every3956 man444 a liar;5583 as2531 it is written,1125 That3704 thou mightest be justified1344 302 in1722 thy4675 sayings,3056 and2532 mightest overcome3528 when thou4571 art judged.2919

5 But1161 if1487 our2257 unrighteousness93 commend4921 the righteousness1343 of God,2316 what5101 shall we say?2046 Is God2316 unrighteous94 who taketh2018 vengeance? I3709 (speak3004 as2596 a man)444

6 God forbid:1096 3361 for then1893 how4459 shall God2316 judge2919 the3588 world?2889

7 For1063 if1487 the3588 truth225 of God2316 hath more abounded4052 through1722 my1699 lie5582 unto1519 his848 glory;1391 why5101 yet2089 am I also2504 judged2919 as5613 a sinner?268

8 And2532 not3361 rather, (as2531 we be slanderously reported,987 and2532 as2531 some5100 affirm5346 that we2248 say,) Let us3004 do4160 evil,2556 that2443 good18 may come?2064 whose3739 damnation2917 is2076 just.1738

9 What5101 then?3767 are we better4284 than they? No,3756 in no wise:3843 for1063 we have before proved4256 both5037 Jews2453 and2532 Gentiles,1672 that they are1511 all3956 under5259 sin;266

10 As2531 it is written,1125 There is2076 none3756 righteous,1342 no, not3761 one: 1520

11 There is2076 none3756 that understandeth,4920 there is2076 none3756 that seeketh after1567 God.2316

12 They are all3956 gone out of the way,1578 they are together260 become unprofitable;889 there is2076 none3756 that doeth4160 good,5544 no,2076 not3756 2193 one.1520

13 Their848 throat2995 is an open455 sepulcher;5028 with their848 tongues1100 they have used deceit;1387 the poison2447 of asps785 is under5259 their848 lips: 5491

14 Whose3739 mouth4750 is full1073 of cursing685 and2532 bitterness: 4088

15 Their848 feet4228 are swift3691 to shed1632 blood: 129

16 Destruction4938 and2532 misery5004 are in1722 their848 ways: 3598

17 And2532 the way3598 of peace1515 have they not3756 known: 1097

18 There is2076 no3756 fear5401 of God2316 before561 their848 eyes.3788

19 Now1161 we know1492 that3754 what things soever3745 the3588 law3551 saith,3004 it saith2980 to them3588 who are under1722 the3588 law:3551 that2443 every3956 mouth4750 may be stopped,5420 and2532 all3956 the3588 world2889 may become1096 guilty5267 before God.2316

20 Therefore1360 by1537 the deeds2041 of the law3551 there shall no3756 3956 flesh4561 be justified1344 in his sight:1799 846 for1063 by1223 the law3551 is the knowledge1922 of sin.266

21 But1161 now3570 the righteousness1343 of God2316 without5565 the law3551 is manifested,5319 being witnessed3140 by5259 the3588 law3551 and2532 the3588 prophets;4396

22 Even1161 the righteousness1343 of God2316 which is by1223 faith4102 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 unto1519 all3956 and2532 upon1909 all3956 them that believe:4100 for1063 there is2076 no3756 difference: 1293

23 For1063 all3956 have sinned,264 and2532 come short5302 of the3588 glory1391 of God;2316

24 Being justified1344 freely1432 by his848 grace5485 through1223 the3588 redemption629 that3588 is in1722 Christ5547 Jesus: 2424

25 Whom3739 God2316 hath set forth4388 to be a propitiation2435 through1223 faith4102 in1722 his848 blood,129 to declare1519 1732 his848 righteousness1343 for1223 the3588 remission3929 of sins265 that are past,4266 through1722 the3588 forbearance463 of God;2316

26 To4314 declare,1732 I say, at1722 this3568 time2540 his846 righteousness:1343 that he846 might be1511 just,1342 and2532 the justifier1344 of him3588 which believeth1537 4102 in Jesus.2424

27 Where4226 is boasting2746 then?3767 It is excluded.1576 By1223 what4169 law?3551 of works?2041 Nay:3780 but235 by1223 the law3551 of faith.4102

28 Therefore3767 we conclude3049 that a man444 is justified1344 by faith4102 without5565 the deeds2041 of the law.3551

29 Is he2228 the3588 God2316 of the Jews2453 only?3440 is he1161 not3780 also2532 of the Gentiles?1484 Yes,3483 of the Gentiles1484 also: 2532

30 Seeing1897 it is one1520 God,2316 which3739 shall justify1344 the circumcision4061 by1537 faith,4102 and2532 uncircumcision203 through1223 faith.4102

31 Do we then3767 make void2673 the law3551 through1223 faith?4102 God forbid:1096 3361 yea,235 we establish2476 the law.3551

Chapter 3

1 WHAT then is the superiority of the Jew? or what is the importance of circumcision?

2 Much in every way: because the Jews were the first to believe in the words of God.

3 For what if some had not believed, could their unbelief nullify the faith of God?

4 Far be it: only God is true and no man is wholly perfect; as it is written, That you may be justified by your words, and triumph when you are judged.

5 Now if our iniquity serves to establish the righteousness of God, what then shall we say? Is God unjust when he inflicts his anger? I speak as a man.

6 Far be it: for then how could God judge the world?

7 For if the truth of God is made abundant through my falsehood to his glory, why then am I to be judged as a sinner?

8 As for those who blaspheme against us, saying that we say, Let us do evil that good may come, their condemnation is reserved for eternal justice.

9 What then do we uphold that is superior? We have already decided concerning both Jews and Syrians, for they are all under sin.

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

11 There are none who understand, there are none who seek after God.

12 They are all gone astray and they have been rejected: there are none who do good, no, not one.

13 Their throats are like open sepulchres; their tongues are deceitful; the venom of asps is under their lips.

14 Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.

15 They are over-quick to shed blood.

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.

17 They have not known the way of peace.

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it is said to those who are under the law: so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20 For by the deeds of the law, no flesh shall be justified before his presence: for by means of the law, sin is known.

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, and the very law and prophets testify to it;

22 But the righteousness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ to every one, also to every man who believes in him, for there is no discrimination:

23 For all have sinned and are short of the glory of God:

24 For they are freely bestowed righteousness by the grace of God through the salvation which is in Jesus Christ, *

25 Whom God has foreordained to be a propitiation through faith in his blood for the remission of our sins that are past;

26 By the opportunity which God has given us through his forbearance, for the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, that he might be declared righteous; and for the justification of righteousness to him who is in the faith of our LORD Jesus Christ.

27 Where is boasting then? It is worthless. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that it is by faith a man is justified and not by the works of the law.

29 Why? Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also God of the Gentiles? Yes, he is God of the Gentiles also;

30 Because it is one God, who justifies the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision by the same faith.

31 Why, then? Do we nullify the law through faith? Far be it: on the contrary, we uphold the law.

2 Much in every way: because the Jews were the first to believe in the words of God.

3 For1063 what5101 if1487 some5100 did not believe?569 shall their848 unbelief570 3361 make the faith of God without effect?2673 3588 4102 2316

3 For what if some had not believed, could their unbelief nullify the faith of God?

4 God forbid:1096 3361 yea, let God2316 be1096 true,227 but1161 every3956 man444 a liar;5583 as2531 it is written,1125 That3704 thou mightest be justified1344 302 in1722 thy4675 sayings,3056 and2532 mightest overcome3528 when thou4571 art judged.2919

4 Far be it: only God is true and no man is wholly perfect; as it is written, That you may be justified by your words, and triumph when you are judged.

5 But1161 if1487 our2257 unrighteousness93 commend4921 the righteousness1343 of God,2316 what5101 shall we say?2046 Is God2316 unrighteous94 who taketh2018 vengeance? I3709 (speak3004 as2596 a man)444

5 Now if our iniquity serves to establish the righteousness of God, what then shall we say? Is God unjust when he inflicts his anger? I speak as a man.

6 God forbid:1096 3361 for then1893 how4459 shall God2316 judge2919 the3588 world?2889

6 Far be it: for then how could God judge the world?

7 For1063 if1487 the3588 truth225 of God2316 hath more abounded4052 through1722 my1699 lie5582 unto1519 his848 glory;1391 why5101 yet2089 am I also2504 judged2919 as5613 a sinner?268

7 For if the truth of God is made abundant through my falsehood to his glory, why then am I to be judged as a sinner?

8 And2532 not3361 rather, (as2531 we be slanderously reported,987 and2532 as2531 some5100 affirm5346 that we2248 say,) Let us3004 do4160 evil,2556 that2443 good18 may come?2064 whose3739 damnation2917 is2076 just.1738

8 As for those who blaspheme against us, saying that we say, Let us do evil that good may come, their condemnation is reserved for eternal justice.

9 What5101 then?3767 are we better4284 than they? No,3756 in no wise:3843 for1063 we have before proved4256 both5037 Jews2453 and2532 Gentiles,1672 that they are1511 all3956 under5259 sin;266

9 What then do we uphold that is superior? We have already decided concerning both Jews and Syrians, for they are all under sin.

10 As2531 it is written,1125 There is2076 none3756 righteous,1342 no, not3761 one: 1520

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

11 There is2076 none3756 that understandeth,4920 there is2076 none3756 that seeketh after1567 God.2316

11 There are none who understand, there are none who seek after God.

12 They are all3956 gone out of the way,1578 they are together260 become unprofitable;889 there is2076 none3756 that doeth4160 good,5544 no,2076 not3756 2193 one.1520

12 They are all gone astray and they have been rejected: there are none who do good, no, not one.

13 Their848 throat2995 is an open455 sepulcher;5028 with their848 tongues1100 they have used deceit;1387 the poison2447 of asps785 is under5259 their848 lips: 5491

13 Their throats are like open sepulchres; their tongues are deceitful; the venom of asps is under their lips.

14 Whose3739 mouth4750 is full1073 of cursing685 and2532 bitterness: 4088

14 Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.

15 Their848 feet4228 are swift3691 to shed1632 blood: 129

15 They are over-quick to shed blood.

16 Destruction4938 and2532 misery5004 are in1722 their848 ways: 3598

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.

17 And2532 the way3598 of peace1515 have they not3756 known: 1097

17 They have not known the way of peace.

18 There is2076 no3756 fear5401 of God2316 before561 their848 eyes.3788

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 Now1161 we know1492 that3754 what things soever3745 the3588 law3551 saith,3004 it saith2980 to them3588 who are under1722 the3588 law:3551 that2443 every3956 mouth4750 may be stopped,5420 and2532 all3956 the3588 world2889 may become1096 guilty5267 before God.2316

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it is said to those who are under the law: so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20 Therefore1360 by1537 the deeds2041 of the law3551 there shall no3756 3956 flesh4561 be justified1344 in his sight:1799 846 for1063 by1223 the law3551 is the knowledge1922 of sin.266

20 For by the deeds of the law, no flesh shall be justified before his presence: for by means of the law, sin is known.

21 But1161 now3570 the righteousness1343 of God2316 without5565 the law3551 is manifested,5319 being witnessed3140 by5259 the3588 law3551 and2532 the3588 prophets;4396

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, and the very law and prophets testify to it;

22 Even1161 the righteousness1343 of God2316 which is by1223 faith4102 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 unto1519 all3956 and2532 upon1909 all3956 them that believe:4100 for1063 there is2076 no3756 difference: 1293

22 But the righteousness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ to every one, also to every man who believes in him, for there is no discrimination:

23 For1063 all3956 have sinned,264 and2532 come short5302 of the3588 glory1391 of God;2316

23 For all have sinned and are short of the glory of God:

24 Being justified1344 freely1432 by his848 grace5485 through1223 the3588 redemption629 that3588 is in1722 Christ5547 Jesus: 2424

24 For they are freely bestowed righteousness by the grace of God through the salvation which is in Jesus Christ, *

25 Whom3739 God2316 hath set forth4388 to be a propitiation2435 through1223 faith4102 in1722 his848 blood,129 to declare1519 1732 his848 righteousness1343 for1223 the3588 remission3929 of sins265 that are past,4266 through1722 the3588 forbearance463 of God;2316

25 Whom God has foreordained to be a propitiation through faith in his blood for the remission of our sins that are past;

26 To4314 declare,1732 I say, at1722 this3568 time2540 his846 righteousness:1343 that he846 might be1511 just,1342 and2532 the justifier1344 of him3588 which believeth1537 4102 in Jesus.2424

26 By the opportunity which God has given us through his forbearance, for the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, that he might be declared righteous; and for the justification of righteousness to him who is in the faith of our LORD Jesus Christ.

27 Where4226 is boasting2746 then?3767 It is excluded.1576 By1223 what4169 law?3551 of works?2041 Nay:3780 but235 by1223 the law3551 of faith.4102

27 Where is boasting then? It is worthless. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore3767 we conclude3049 that a man444 is justified1344 by faith4102 without5565 the deeds2041 of the law.3551

28 Therefore we conclude that it is by faith a man is justified and not by the works of the law.

29 Is he2228 the3588 God2316 of the Jews2453 only?3440 is he1161 not3780 also2532 of the Gentiles?1484 Yes,3483 of the Gentiles1484 also: 2532

29 Why? Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also God of the Gentiles? Yes, he is God of the Gentiles also;

30 Seeing1897 it is one1520 God,2316 which3739 shall justify1344 the circumcision4061 by1537 faith,4102 and2532 uncircumcision203 through1223 faith.4102

30 Because it is one God, who justifies the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision by the same faith.

31 Do we then3767 make void2673 the law3551 through1223 faith?4102 God forbid:1096 3361 yea,235 we establish2476 the law.3551

31 Why, then? Do we nullify the law through faith? Far be it: on the contrary, we uphold the law.
