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