Chapter 3
1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
(Hebrew unavailable)
2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
(Hebrew unavailable)
4Certainly 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
5But 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
(Hebrew unavailable)
7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
(Hebrew unavailable)
8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
(Hebrew unavailable)
9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
(Hebrew unavailable)
10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
(Hebrew unavailable)
16ruin and misery lie in their wake,
(Hebrew unavailable)
17and the way of peace they have not known.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
19Now 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
(Hebrew unavailable)
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Hebrew unavailable)
24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25God presented Him as an atoning sacrifice in His blood through faith, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
(Hebrew unavailable)
26He 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
(Hebrew unavailable)
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
(Hebrew unavailable)
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
(Hebrew unavailable)
30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.
(Hebrew unavailable)
