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