What,
then ,
is
the
advantage of
being
a
Jew? Or what is the value
of circumcision?
Then what
advantage does
the
Jew have
? Or what is the profit
of circumcision?
Much in every way .
First of all, they have
been
entrusted with the very
words
of God.
Much in every way !
Because
first of all, they were
entrusted with the oracles
of God.
What if some did
not
have
faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s
faithfulness?
For
what if some were
without
faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the
faithfulness of
God
?
Certainly
not
! Let God be true and
every man a liar. As it is written :
“So
that You may
be proved
right
when
You
speak
and victorious
when You judge
. ”
May
it
never
be
! Yes,
let God be found
true ,
but
every man a liar. As it is written ,
"
That you might
be justified
in
your
words,
And might
prevail
when you come
into
judgment
. "
But if our unrighteousness highlights
the righteousness of God, what shall
we say? That
God
is unjust
to
inflict
His
wrath on
us
? I am
speaking
in
human
terms
.
But if our unrighteousness commends
the righteousness of God, what will
we say? Is God
unrighteous
who
inflicts
wrath? I speak
like
men
do
.
Certainly
not
! In
that
case,
how could
God judge the world?
May
it
never
be
! For
then
how will
God judge the world?
However,
if my
falsehood
accentuates
God’s
truthfulness,
to
the increase
of His glory, why am I still condemned
as a sinner?
For
if the truth
of God
through
my
lie
abounded
to
his glory, why am I also
still judged
as a sinner?
Why not say
, as some slanderously
claim
that we say, “
Let us do evil that good may result”
? Their
condemnation
is
deserved!
Why not (as
we
are
slanderously
reported
, and
as some affirm
that we say )
, "
Let us do evil ,
that good may come
? "
Those
who
say
so
are
justly
condemned.
What then? Are we any
better? Not
at
all
. For we have
already
made
the
charge
that
Jews and Greeks alike
are all under sin.
What then? Are we better than
they
? No,
in
no
way
. For we previously
charged
both
Jews and Greeks ,
that
they
are all under sin.
As it is written :
“
There is no one righteous, not even
one.
As it is written ,
"
There is no one righteous .
No
, not one.
There is no one who understands ,
no one who seeks God.
There is no one who understands .
There
is
no one who seeks after
God.
All
have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good, not even
one. ”
They
have all
turned aside.
They have together become unprofitable.
There is no one who does good, No,
not ,
so
much
as
one. "
“
Their throats
are
open graves;
their tongues practice
deceit. ”
“
The venom
of vipers is on
their lips .”
"
Their throat
is
an
open tomb.
With
their tongues they
have
used
deceit. "
"
The poison
of vipers is under
their lips ;"
“Their
mouths
are
full of cursing and bitterness. ”
"Whose
mouth
is
full of cursing and bitterness. "
“
Their feet are swift to shed blood ;
"
Their feet are swift to shed blood .
ruin
and misery lie
in their wake,
Destruction
and misery are
in their ways.
and
the way of peace they have
not
known. ”
The way of peace ,
they haven't
known. "
“
There is no fear of God before their eyes. ”
"
There is no fear of God before their eyes. "
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says
to those who are under the law, so
that every mouth may be silenced
and the whole
world held
accountable
to
God.
Now we know that whatever things
the law says, it speaks
to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed,
and all
the world may
be
brought
under
the
judgment
of
God.
Therefore
no one
will be justified in His sight by
works
of
the
law
. For the law merely
brings
awareness
of sin.
Because
by
the
works
of
the
law,
no flesh
will be justified in his sight. For through
the law comes
the
knowledge
of sin.
But now ,
apart from the law, the
righteousness of God has been revealed, as
attested
by the Law and the Prophets .
But now apart from the law, a
righteousness of God has been revealed, being
testified
by the law and the prophets ;
And
this
righteousness from
God comes
through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
even
the
righteousness of
God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and
on
all
those
who believe. For
there is no distinction,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ,
for all have sinned ,
and fall short of the glory of God ;
and
are
justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus .
being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus ;
God presented
Him
as
the
atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in
order
to
demonstrate
His righteousness, because
in His
forbearance He
had
passed
over
the
sins
committed
beforehand.
whom
God set
forth
to
be
an
atoning sacrifice ,
through faith in his blood, for
a
demonstration
of
his righteousness through
the
passing
over
of
prior
sins
, in God's
forbearance ;
He
did
this
to demonstrate His righteousness at the
present time ,
so
as
to
be just and to
justify
the one
who has faith in Jesus.
to demonstrate his righteousness at this
present time ;
that
he
might
himself
be just ,
and the justifier
of
him
who has faith in Jesus.
Where ,
then ,
is boasting? It is excluded. On
what principle
? On
that
of works? No, but on
that
of faith.
Where then is the
boasting? It is excluded. By
what manner
of
law
? Of works? No, but by
a
law
of faith.
For
we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
We maintain therefore
that a man is justified by faith apart from the
works of the law.
Is God the God of Jews only? Is
He not
the God of Gentiles too
? Yes, of Gentiles too
,
Or
is God the God of Jews only? Isn't
he the God of Gentiles also
? Yes, of Gentiles also
,
since there is only
one God ,
who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that
same
faith.
since indeed
there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith ,
and the uncircumcised through faith.
Do we ,
then ,
nullify the law by
this
faith? Certainly
not
! Instead
, we uphold
the law.
Do we then nullify the law through
faith? May
it
never
be
! No
, we establish
the law.
