Verse 1

What{G5101} advantage{G4053} then{G3767} hath the Jew?{G2453} or{G2228} what{G5101} is the profit{G5622} of circumcision?{G4061}

Verse 2

Much{G4183} {G2596} every{G3956} way:{G5158} first{G4412} of all, that{G3754} they were intrusted{G4100} with the oracles{G3051} of God.{G2316}

Verse 3

For{G1063} what{G5101} if{G1487} some{G5100} were without faith?{G4102} shall{G3361} their{G846} want of faith{G570} make{G2673} of none effect{G2673} the faithfulness{G4102} of God?{G2316}

Verse 4

God forbid:{G1096} yea,{G1161} let{G1096} God{G2316} be{G1096} found true,{G227} but{G1161} every{G3956} man{G444} a liar;{G5583} as{G2531} it is written,{G1125} That{G3704} thou mightest be justified{G1344} in{G1722} thy{G4675} words,{G3056} And{G2532} mightest prevail{G3528} when{G1722} thou{G4571} comest into judgment.{G2919}

Verse 5

But{G1161} if{G1487} our{G2257} righteousness{G1343} commendeth{G4921} the righteousness{G1343} of God,{G2316} what{G5101} shall we say?{G2046} Is God{G2316} unrighteous{G94} who visiteth{G2018} with wrath?{G3709} (I speak{G3004} after the manner{G2596} of men.){G444}

Verse 6

God forbid:{G3361} {G1096} for then{G1893} how{G4459} shall{G2919} God{G2316} judge{G2919} the world?{G2889}

Verse 7

But{G1063} if{G1487} the truth{G225} of God{G2316} through{G1722} my{G1699} lie{G5582} abounded{G4052} unto{G1519} his{G846} glory,{G1391} why{G5101} am I also{G2504} still{G2089} judged{G2919} as{G5613} a sinner?{G268}

Verse 8

and{G2532} why not{G3361} (as{G2531} we are slanderously reported,{G987} and{G2532} as{G2531} some{G5100} affirm that{G5346} we{G2248} say),{G3004} {G3754} Let us do{G4160} evil,{G2556} that{G2443} good{G18} may come?{G2064} whose{G3739} condemnation{G2917} is{G2076} just.{G1738}

Verse 9

What{G5101} then?{G3767} are we better{G4284} than they? No,{G3756} in no wise:{G3843} for{G1063} we before laid to the charge{G4256} both{G2532} of Jews{G2453} and{G5037} Greeks,{G1672} that they are{G1511} all{G3956} under{G5259} sin;{G266}

Verse 10

as{G2531} it is written,{G1125} There is{G2076} none{G3756} righteous,{G1342} no, not{G3761} one;{G1520}

Verse 11

There is{G2076} none{G3756} that understandeth,{G4920} There is{G2076} none{G3756} that seeketh after{G1567} God;{G2316}

Verse 12

They have{G1578} all{G3956} turned aside,{G1578} they are{G889} together{G260} become unprofitable;{G889} There is{G2076} none{G3756} that doeth{G4160} good,{G5544} no, not,{G3756} so much as one:{G2076} {G2193} {G1520}

Verse 13

Their{G846} throat{G2995} is an open{G455} sepulchre;{G5028} With{G1100} their{G846} tongues{G1100} they have used deceit:{G1387} The poison{G2447} of asps{G785} is under{G5259} their{G846} lips:{G5491}

Verse 14

Whose{G3739} mouth{G4750} is full{G1073} of cursing{G685} and{G2532} bitterness:{G4088}

Verse 18

There is{G2076} no{G3756} fear{G5401} of God{G2316} before{G561} their{G846} eyes.{G3788}

Verse 19

Now{G1161} we know{G1492} that{G3754} what things soever{G3745} the law{G3551} saith,{G3004} it speaketh{G2980} to them that are{G3588} under{G1722} the law;{G3551} that{G2443} every{G3956} mouth{G4750} may be stopped,{G5420} and{G2532} all{G3956} the world{G2889} may be brought{G1096} under the judgment{G5267} of God:{G2316}

Verse 20

because{G1360} by{G1537} the works{G2041} of the law{G3551} shall{G1344} no{G3756} flesh{G4561} be justified{G1344} in{G1799} his{G846} sight;{G1799} for{G1063} through{G1223} the law{G3551} [cometh] the knowledge{G1922} of sin.{G266}

Verse 21

But{G1161} now{G3570} apart{G5565} from the law{G3551} a righteousness{G1343} of God{G2316} hath been manifested,{G5319} being witnessed{G3140} by{G5259} the law{G3551} and{G2532} the prophets;{G4396}

Verse 22

even{G1161} the righteousness{G1343} of God{G2316} through{G1223} faith{G4102} in Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} unto{G1519} all{G3956} them that believe;{G4100} for{G1063} there is{G2076} no{G3756} distinction;{G1293}

Verse 23

for{G1063} all{G3956} have sinned,{G264} and{G2532} fall short{G5302} of the glory{G1391} of God;{G2316}

being justified{G1344} freely{G1432} by{G5485} his{G846} grace{G5485} through{G1223} the redemption{G629} that is{G3588} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus:{G2424}

whom{G3739} God{G2316} set forth{G4388} [to be] a propitiation,{G2435} through{G1223} faith,{G4102} in{G1722} his{G846} blood,{G129} to{G1519} show{G1732} his{G846} righteousness{G1343} because{G1223} of the passing over{G3929} of the sins{G265} done aforetime,{G4266} in the forbearance of God;

Verse 26

for{G4314} the showing,{G1732} [I say], of his{G846} righteousness{G1343} at{G1722} this{G3568} present season:{G2540} that{G1519} he{G846} might himself be{G1511} just,{G1342} and{G2532} the justifier{G1344} of him that hath faith{G4102} in Jesus.{G2424}

Verse 27

Where{G4226} then{G3767} is the glorying?{G2746} It is excluded.{G1576} By{G1223} what{G4169} manner of law?{G3551} of works?{G2041} Nay:{G3780} but{G235} by{G1223} a law{G3551} of faith.{G4102}

Verse 28

We reckon therefore{G3767} that{G3049} a man{G444} is justified{G1344} by faith{G4102} apart{G5565} from the works{G2041} of the law.{G3551}

Verse 31

Do we{G2673} then{G3767} make the law{G3551} of none effect{G2673} through{G1223} faith?{G4102} God forbid:{G1096} nay,{G235} we establish{G2476} the law.{G3551}
