Romans 3 — WBMS
3Verse 1What then is more to a Jew, or what profit of circumcision?Verse 2Much by all wise [or by all manner]; first, for the speakings of God were betaken to them.Verse 3And what if some of them believed not? Whether the unbelief of them hath voided the faith of God?Verse 4God forbid. For God is soothfast, [or true], but each man a liar; as it is written, That thou be justified in thy words, and overcome, when thou art deemed.Verse 5But if our wickedness commend the rightwiseness of God, what shall we say? Whether God is wicked, that bringeth in wrath? After man I say.Verse 6God forbid. Else how shall God deem this world?Verse 7For if the truth of God hath abounded in my leasing, into the glory of him, what yet am I deemed as a sinner?Verse 8And not as we be blasphemed, and as some say that we say, Do we evil things, that good things come. Whose damnation is just.Verse 9What then? Surpass we them? Nay; for we have showed by skill, that all both Jews and Greeks be under sin [or the Jews and Greeks all to be under sin],Verse 10as it is written, For there is no man just;Verse 11there is no man understanding, neither seeking God.Verse 12All bowed away, together they be made unprofitable; there is none that doeth good thing, there is none till to one.Verse 13The throat of them is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they did guilefully, [or treacherously]; the venom of snakes is under their lips.Verse 14The mouth of whom is full of cursing and bitterness;Verse 15the feet of them be swift to shed blood.Verse 16Sorrow and cursedness be in the ways of them,Verse 17and they knew not the way of peace;Verse 18the dread of God is not before their eyes.Verse 19And we know, that whatever things the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that be in the law, that each mouth be stopped, and each world be made subject to God.Verse 20For of the works of the law each flesh shall not be justified before him; for by the law there is knowing of sin.Verse 21But now without the law the rightwiseness of God is showed, that is witnessed of the law and the prophets.Verse 22And the rightwiseness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ into all men and on all men that believe in him; for there is no parting [or distinction].Verse 23For all men sinned, and have need to the glory of God;Verse 24and be justified freely by his grace, by the again-buying [or the redemption] that is in Christ.Verse 25Whom God ordained forgiver [or purposed an helper], by faith in his blood, to the showing of his right-wiseness, for [the] remission of before-going sins, in the bearing up of God,Verse 26to the showing of his rightwise-ness in this time, that he be just, and justifying him that is of the faith of Jesus Christ.Verse 27Where then is thy glorying? It is excluded. By what law? Of deeds doing? Nay, but by the law of faith.Verse 28For we deem a man to be justified by faith, without works of the law.Verse 29Whether of the Jews is God only? Whether he is not also of heathen men? Yes, and of heathen men.Verse 30For there is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and prepuce by faith.Verse 31Destroy we therefore the law by faith? God forbid; but we stablish the law.
