Romans 3 — GNV

3Verse 1What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision?^{Verse 2}Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.^{Verse 3}For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?^{Verse 4}God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.^{Verse 5}Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)^{Verse 6}God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?^{Verse 7}For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?^{Verse 8}And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust.^{Verse 9}What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,^{Verse 10}As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.^{Verse 11}There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.^{Verse 12}They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.^{Verse 13}Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.^{Verse 14}Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.^{Verse 15}Their feete are swift to shead blood.^{Verse 16}Destruction and calamity are in their waies,^{Verse 17}And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.^{Verse 18}The feare of God is not before their eies.^{Verse 19}Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.^{Verse 20}Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.^{Verse 21}But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,^{Verse 22}To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.^{Verse 23}For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,^{Verse 24}And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,^{Verse 25}Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,^{Verse 26}Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.^{Verse 27}Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.^{Verse 28}Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe.^{Verse 29}God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.^{Verse 30}For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.^{Verse 31}Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.
