3 : 1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
|
|
3 : 2 Much in every way. To begin with,the Jews were entrusted withthe oracles of God.
|
|
3 : 3 What if some were unfaithful?Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?
|
|
3 : 4 By no means!Let God be true thoughevery one were a liar, as it is written,That you may be justified in your words,and prevail when youare judged.
|
|
3 : 5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflictwrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
|
|
3 : 6 By no means! For then how couldGod judge the world?
|
|
3 : 7 But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory,why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
|
|
3 : 8 And why notdo evil that good may come?&emdash;as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
|
|
3 : 9 What then? Are we Jewsany better off?No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, bothJews andGreeks, areunder sin,
|
|
3 : 10 as it is written:None is righteous, no, not one;
|
|
3 : 11 no one understands;no one seeks for God.
|
|
3 : 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;no one does good,not even one.
|
|
3 : 13 Their throat isan open grave;they use their tongues to deceive.The venom of asps is under their lips.
|
|
3 : 14 Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.
|
|
3 : 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood;
|
|
3 : 16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
|
|
3 : 17 andthe way of peace they have not known.
|
|
3 : 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
|
|
3 : 19 Now we know that whateverthe law says it speaks to those who are under the law,so that every mouth may be stopped, andthe whole world may be held accountable to God.
|
|
3 : 20 Forby works of the law no human beingwill be justified in his sight, sincethrough the law comes knowledge of sin.
|
|
3 : 21 But nowthe righteousness of Godhas been manifested apart from the law, althoughthe Law and the Prophets bear witness to it&emdash;
|
|
3 : 22 the righteousness of Godthrough faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.For there is no distinction:
|
|
3 : 23 forall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
|
|
3 : 24 and are justifiedby his grace as a gift,through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
|
|
3 : 25 whom Godput forward asa propitiationby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because inhis divine forbearance he had passed overformer sins.
|
|
3 : 26 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.
|
|
3 : 27 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.
|
|
3 : 28 For we hold that one is justified by faithapart from works of the law.
|
|
3 : 29 Oris God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
|
|
3 : 30 sinceGod is one&emdash;who will justify the circumcised by faith andthe uncircumcised through faith.
|
|
3 : 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
