God’s Righteousness Upheld
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
God’s Judgment Defended
What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?
What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?
Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.
What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?
For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?
By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,
“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you are judged.”
“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you are judged.”
But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.)
By no means! For then how could God judge the world?
Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?
But if through my lie God’s truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
And why not do evil that good may come? — as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
All Have Sinned
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
“None is righteous, no, not one;
As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
no one seeks for God.
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
no one does good,
not even one.”
They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
“Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
The Righteousness of God Through Faith
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it —
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it —
God’s Righteousness Through Faith
But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.
Boasting Excluded
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,
since God is one — who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
