Romans 3 — NWB

3Verse 1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?Verse 2Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God.Verse 3For what if some did not believe? will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?Verse 4By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.Verse 5But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)Verse 6By no means: for then how shall God judge the world?Verse 7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?Verse 8And not rather (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.Verse 9What 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;Verse 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:Verse 11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God.Verse 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.Verse 13Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:Verse 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.Verse 15Their feet are swift to shed blood.Verse 16Destruction and misery are in their ways:Verse 17And the way of peace have they not known.Verse 18There is no fear of God before their eyes.Verse 19Now we know that whatever things 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.Verse 20Therefore by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.Verse 21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being testified by the law and the prophets;Verse 22Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference:Verse 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;Verse 24Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ:Verse 25Whom 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;Verse 26To declare, I say , at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.Verse 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.Verse 28Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.Verse 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:Verse 30Seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.Verse 31Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but we establish the law.
