Verse
Romans - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?
- Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.
- For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?
- God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.
- But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)
- God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
- But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
- 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.
- 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;
- as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
- There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
- They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:
- Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
- Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
- Their feet are swift to shed blood;
- Destruction and misery are in their ways;
- And the way of peace have they not known:
- There is no fear of God before their eyes.
- 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:
- because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law `cometh' the knowledge of sin.
