What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is
there of circumcision?

|
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. |
