1Then what [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what [is] the profit of circumcision? 2Much, by every way! Chiefly, indeed, because they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3For what? If some did not believe, will not their unbelief nullify the faith of God? 4Let it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That You might be justified in Your sayings, and will overcome when You are judged. 5But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.) 6Let it not be! For then how shall God judge the world? 7For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner? 8And not [rather], (as we are wrongly accused, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do bad things that good may come? [Their] condemnation is just. 9What then? Do we excel? No, in no way; for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks all [with] being under sin, 10as it is written: There is none righteous, no not one; 11there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. 12They are all gone out of the way, [they] have together become unprofitable, there is none that does good, no, not one. 13Their throat [is] an open grave, with their tongues they have used deceit, [the] poison of asps [is] under their lips; 14whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness; 15their feet [are] swift to shed blood; 16destruction and misery [are] in their way, 17and the way of peace they did not know. 18There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God, 20because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law [is] the knowledge of sin. 21But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; 22even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who 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 Christ Jesus; 25whom God has set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness through the passing by of the sins that had taken place before, in the forbearance of God; 26for the display of His righteousness at this time, for Him to be just and, forgiving the [one] being of the faith of Jesus. 27Then where [is] the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith. 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the law. 29Or [is He] the God of the Jews only, and not also of the nations? Yes, of the nations also, 30since [it is] one God who will justify circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law.
