Romanos 3

¹ What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? ² Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. ³ For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? ⁴ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:4 Ps. 51:4. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:4 Greek Be it not so: and so elsewhere. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, ⁵ But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) ⁶ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:6 Greek Be it not so: and so elsewhere. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? ⁷ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:7 Many ancient authorities read For. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? ⁸ and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. ⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin; ¹⁰ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:10 Ps. 14:1ff; 53:1ff. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ There is none righteous, no, not one; as it is written, ¹¹ There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God; ¹² They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one: ¹³ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:13 Ps. 5:9. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:13 Ps. 140:3. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ The poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:14 Ps. 10:7. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:15 Isa. 59:7f. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ 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 __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:18 Ps. 36:1. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ There is no fear of God before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God: ²⁰ because by __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:20 Or, works of law __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ the works of the law shall no flesh be __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:20 Or, accounted righteous __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ justified in his sight; for __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:20 Or, through law __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ through the law cometh the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ²² even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:22 Some ancient authorities add and upon all. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ them that believe; for there is no distinction; ²³ for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; ²⁴ being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; ²⁶ for the showing, I say , of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:26 See 2:13 margin. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ justifier of him that __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:26 Greek is of faith. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ hath faith __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:26 Or, of __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ in Jesus. ²⁷ Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. ²⁸ __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:28 Many ancient authorities read For we reckon. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:28 Or, works of law __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ the works of the law. ²⁹ Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: ³⁰ if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:30 Or, through the faith. Gal. 2:16 __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ through faith. ³¹ Do we then make the law of none effect __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:31 Or, through the faith. Gal. 2:16 __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Romans 3:31 Or, law __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ the law.
