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?
All the World Guilty
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?
Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?
What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?
May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found 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 demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.)
But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.)
Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?
May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?
For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?
And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? 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.
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;
As it is written:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
as it is written,
“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
There is none who seeks after God.
THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
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.”
ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”
“THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE,
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,”
“THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”;
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,”
“THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”;
“Whose mouth is full of cursing 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 closed and all the world may become 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.
because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
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,
Justification by Faith
But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those 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,
being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;
to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
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.
Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.
