3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of .

3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of without effect?

3:4 By no means: yea, let 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.

3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of , what shall we say? Is unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

3:6 By no means: for then how shall He judge the world?

3:7 For if the truth of hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

3:8 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.

3:9 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;

3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after Elohim.

3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:

3:18 There is no fear of Elohimbefore their eyes.

3:19 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 .

3:20 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.

3:21 But now the righteousness of without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

3:22 Even the righteousness of which is by faith of the Messiah unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of ;

3:24 Being justified freely by his favour through the redemption that is in Messiah :

3:25 Whom 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 ;

3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in .

3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

3:29 Is he the Elohim of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

3:30 Seeing it is one Elohim, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
