1What[G5101]advantage[G4053]then[G3767] hath the Jew?[G2453]or[G2228]what[G5101]profit[G5622] is there of circumcision?[G4061]
2Much[G4183]every[G2596]way[G5158]: chiefly[G4412], because[G3303]that[G3754] unto them were committed[G4100] the oracles[G3051] of God[G2316].
3For[G1063]what[G5101]if[G1487]some[G5100] did not believe?[G569]shall[G2673]their[G846]unbelief[G570]make[G2673] the faith[G4102] of God[G2316] without effect?[G2673]
4God[G2316]forbid[G3361]: yea[G1161], let[G1096]God[G2316]be[G1096]true[G227], but[G1161]every[G3956]man[G444] a liar[G5583]; as[G2531] it is written[G1125], That[G3704]thou[G4571]mightest[G302]be[G1096]justified[G1344]in[G1722]thy[G4675]sayings[G3056], and[G2532]mightest[G302]overcome[G3528]when[G1722]thou[G4571] art judged[G2919].
5But[G1161]if[G1487]our[G2257]unrighteousness[G93]commend[G4921] the righteousness[G1343] of God[G2316], what[G5101] shall we say?[G2046] Is God[G2316]unrighteous[G94] who taketh[G2018] vengeance?(I speak[G3004]as[G2596] a man[G444])
6God[G2316]forbid[G3361]: for then[G1893]how[G4459]shall[G2919]God[G2316]judge[G2919] the world?[G2889]
7For[G1063]if[G1487] the truth[G225] of God[G2316] hath more abounded[G4052]through[G1722]my[G1699]lie[G5582]unto[G1519]his[G846]glory[G1391]; why[G5101]yet[G2089]am[G2919] I also[G2504]judged[G2919]as[G5613] a sinner?[G268]
8And[G2532]not[G3361] rather,(as[G2531]we[G2248] be slanderously reported[G987], and[G2532]as[G2531]some[G5100]affirm[G5346]that[G2443]we[G2248]say[G3004],) Let us do[G4160]evil[G2556], that[G2443]good[G18] may come?[G2064]whose[G3739]damnation[G2917]is[G2076]just[G1738].
9What[G5101]then?[G3767]are[G1511] we better[G4284] than they? No[G3756], in no wise[G3843]: for[G1063] we have before proved[G4256]both[G5037]Jews[G2453]and[G2532]Gentiles[G1672], that they are[G1511]all[G3956]under[G5259]sin[G266];
10As[G2531] it is[G2076]written[G1125], There is[G2076]none[G3756]righteous[G1342], no, not[G3761]one[G1520]:
11
There is[G2076]none[G3756] that understandeth[G4920], there is[G2076]none[G3756] that seeketh after[G1567]God[G2316].
12
They are[G1578]all[G3956] gone out of the way[G1578], they are[G889]together[G260] become unprofitable[G889]; there is[G2076]none[G3756] that doeth[G4160]good[G5544], no, not[G3756]one[G2076].
13Their[G846]throat[G2995] is an open[G455]sepulchre[G5028]; with their[G846]tongues[G1100] they have used deceit[G1387]; the poison[G2447] of asps[G785] is under[G5259]their[G846]lips[G5491]:
14Whose[G3739]mouth[G4750] is full[G1073] of cursing[G685]and[G2532]bitterness[G4088]:
15Their[G846]feet[G4228] are swift[G3691] to shed[G1632]blood[G129]:
16Destruction[G4938]and[G2532]misery[G5004] are in[G1722]their[G846]ways[G3598]:
17And[G2532] the way[G3598] of peace[G1515]have[G1097] they not[G3756]known[G1097]:
18
There is[G2076]no[G3756]fear[G5401] of God[G2316]before[G561]their[G846]eyes[G3788].
19Now[G1161] we know[G1492]that[G3754] what things soever[G3745] the law[G3551]saith[G3004], it saith[G2980] to them who are under[G1722] the law[G3551]: that[G2443]every[G3956]mouth[G4750] may be stopped[G5420], and[G2532]all[G3956] the world[G2889] may become[G1096]guilty[G5267] before God[G2316].
20Therefore[G1360]by[G1537] the deeds[G2041] of the law[G3551] there shall[G1344]no[G3956]flesh[G4561] be justified[G1344] in his[G846]sight[G1799]: for[G1063]by[G1223] the law[G3551] is the knowledge[G1922] of sin[G266].
21But[G1161]now[G3570] the righteousness[G1343] of God[G2316]without[G5565] the law[G3551] is manifested[G5319], being witnessed[G3140]by[G5259] the law[G3551]and[G2532] the prophets[G4396];
22Even[G1161] the righteousness[G1343] of God[G2316] which is[G2076]by[G1223]faith[G4102] of Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]unto[G1519]all[G3956]and[G2532]upon[G1909]all[G3956] them that believe[G4100]: for[G1063] there is[G2076]no[G3756]difference[G1293]:
23For[G1063]all[G3956] have sinned[G264], and[G2532] come short[G5302] of the glory[G1391] of God[G2316];
24
Being justified[G1344]freely[G1432] by his[G846]grace[G5485]through[G1223] the redemption[G629] that is in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424]:
25Whom[G3739]God[G2316] hath set forth[G4388]to[G1519] be a propitiation[G2435]through[G1223]faith[G4102]in[G1722]his[G846]blood[G129], to[G1519]declare[G1732]his[G846]righteousness[G1343]for[G1223] the remission[G3929] of sins[G265] that are past[G4266], through[G1722] the forbearance[G463] of God[G2316];
26To[G4314]declare[G1732], I say, at[G1722]this[G3568]time[G2540]his[G846]righteousness[G1343]: that[G1519] he might be[G1511]just[G1342], and[G2532] the justifier[G1344] of him[G846] which believeth[G4102]in[G1537]Jesus[G2424].
27Where[G4226] is boasting[G2746]then?[G3767] It is excluded[G1576]. By[G1223]what[G4169]law?[G3551] of works?[G2041]Nay[G3780]: but[G235]by[G1223] the law[G3551] of faith[G4102].
28Therefore[G3767] we conclude[G3049] that a man[G444] is justified[G1344] by faith[G4102]without[G5565] the deeds[G2041] of the law[G3551].
29
Is he[G2228] the God[G2316] of the Jews[G2453]only?[G3440] is he[G2228]not[G3780]also[G1161] of the Gentiles?[G1484]Yes[G3483], of the Gentiles[G1484]also[G2532]:
30Seeing[G1897] it is one[G1520]God[G2316], which[G3739] shall justify[G1344] the circumcision[G4061]by[G1537]faith[G4102], and[G2532]uncircumcision[G203]through[G1223]faith[G4102].
31
Do we[G2673]then[G3767] make void[G2673] the law[G3551]through[G1223]faith?[G4102] God forbid[G3361]: yea[G235], we[G2673]establish[G2476] the law[G3551].
