1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 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. 5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 6God forbid: els how shal God iudge ye world? 7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8And (as we are blamed, & as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust. 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; 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one. 11There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God. 12They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. 13Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes. 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse. 15Their feete are swift to shead blood. 16Destruction & calamity are in their waies, 17And the way of peace have they not known: 18The feare of God is not before their eies. 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. 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. 21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 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: 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ: 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; 26To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe. 29[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
