Verse
Romans - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
- Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God.
- For what if some did not believe? will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
- By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
- But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)
- By no means: for then how shall God judge the world?
- For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
- And not rather (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
- 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;
- As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
- There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh God.
- They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
- Their throat is an open sepulcher; 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 whatever things 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.
- 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.
