engKJVCPB: Romans 3

 [1] What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?  [2] Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.  [3] For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?  [4] God 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.  [5] But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)  [6] God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?  [7] For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?  [8] And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

 [9] What 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;  [10] as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:  [11] there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.  [12] They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.  [13] Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:  [14] whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:  [15] their feet are swift to shed blood:  [16] destruction and misery are in their ways:  [17] and the way of peace have they not known:  [18] there is no fear of God before their eyes.  [19] Now 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.  [20] Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

 [21] But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;  [22] even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:  [23] for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  [24] being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  [25] whom 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;  [26] to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.  [27] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.  [28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.  [29] Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:  [30] seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.  [31] Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
