| 3:1 | What aduantage then hath the Iew? or what profit is there of Circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Much euery way: chiefly, because that vnto them were committed the Oracles of God. |
| 3:3 | For what if some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect? |
| 3:4 | God forbid: yea, let God be true, but euery man a lier, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy sayings, and mightest ouercome when thou art iudged. |
| 3:5 | But if our vnrighteousnesse commend the righteousnesse of God, what shall we say? is God vnrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speake as a man) |
| 3:6 | God forbid: for then how shall God iudge the world? |
| 3:7 | For if the trueth of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glory; why yet am I also iudged as a sinner? |
| 3:8 | And not rather as wee be slanderously reported, and as some affirme that we say, Let vs doe euill, that good may come: whose damnation is iust. |
| 3:9 | What then? are wee better then they? No in no wise: for we haue before proued both Iewes, and Gentiles, that they are all vnder sinne, |
| 3:10 | As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one: |
| 3:11 | There is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. |
| 3:12 | They are all gone out of the way, they are together become vnprofitable, there is none that doeth good, no not one. |
| 3:13 | Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they haue vsed deceit, the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes: |
| 3:14 | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse: |
| 3:15 | Their feet are swift to shed blood. |
| 3:16 | Destruction & misery are in their wayes: |
| 3:17 | And the way of peace haue they not knowen. |
| 3:18 | There is no feare of God before their eyes. |
| 3:19 | Now we know that what things soeuer the Law saith, it saith to them who are vnder the Law: that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. |
| 3:20 | Therefore by the deedes of the Law, there shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sinne. |
| 3:21 | But nowe the righteousnesse of God without the Lawe is manifested, being witnessed by the Lawe and the Prophets. |
| 3:22 | Euen the righteousnesse of God, which is by faith of Iesus Christ vnto all, and vpon all them that beleeue: for there is no difference: |
| 3:23 | For all haue sinned, and come short of the glory of God, |
| 3:24 | Being iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Iesus Christ: |
| 3:25 | Whom God hath set forth to bee a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousnesse for the remission of sinnes, that are past, through the forbearance of God. |
| 3:26 | To declare, I say, at this time his righteousnesse: that hee might bee iust, and the iustifier of him which beleeueth in Iesus. |
| 3:27 | Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? Of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith. |
| 3:28 | Therefore wee conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the deeds of the Law. |
| 3:29 | Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: |
| 3:30 | Seeing it is one God which shal iustifie the circumcision by faith, and vncircumcision through faith. |
| 3:31 | Doe we then make void the lawe through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law. |
| 3:1 | What furtheraunce then haue the Iewes? Or what avauntageth circucision? |
| 3:2 | Surely very moch. First Vnto them was commytted what God spake. |
| 3:3 | But where as some of them dyd not beleue theron, what then? Shulde their vnbeleue make the promes of God of none effecte? |
| 3:4 | God forbyd. Let it rather be thus, that God is true, and all me lyers. As it is wrytten: That thou mayest be iustified in thy sayenges, and shuldest ouercome, wha thou art iudged. |
| 3:5 | But yf it be so, that oure vnrighteousnes prayseth ye righteousnes of God, what shal we saye? Is God then vnrighteous, that he is angrie therfore? (I speake thus after the maner off men) |
| 3:6 | God forbyd. How mighte God the iudge ye worlde? |
| 3:7 | For yf the trueth of God be thorow my lye the more excellent vnto his prayse, why shulde I the be iudged yet as a synner? |
| 3:8 | & not rather to do thus (as we are euell spoken of, and as some reporte, that we shulde saye) Let vs do euell, yt good maye come therof. Whose danacio is inste. |
| 3:9 | What saye we then? Are we better then they? No, in no wyse: for we haue proued afore, yt both the Iewes and Grekes are all vnder synne. |
| 3:10 | As it is wrytte: There is none righteous, no not one. |
| 3:11 | There is none yt vnderstondeth, there is none that seketh after God. |
| 3:12 | They are all gone out of the waye, they are alltogether become vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. |
| 3:13 | Their throte is an open sepulcre, with their tunges they haue disceaued, the poyson off Aspes is vnder their lippes. |
| 3:14 | Their mouth is full of cursynge and bytternesse. |
| 3:15 | Their fete are swifte to shed bloude. |
| 3:16 | Destruccion & wrechidnes are in their wayes, |
| 3:17 | and ye waye of peace haue they not knowne. |
| 3:18 | There is no feare of God before their eyes. |
| 3:19 | But we knowe, yt, what soeuer the lawe sayeth, it sayeth it vnto them which are vnder the lawe, yt euery mouthe maye be stopped, & yt all the worlde maye be detter vnto God, |
| 3:20 | because yt by ye dedes of the lawe no flesh maye be iustified in his sighte. For by the lawe commeth but the knowlege of synne. |
| 3:21 | But now without addinge to of ye lawe is the righteousnes which avayleth before God, declared, hauynge witnesse of ye lawe and the prophetes: |
| 3:22 | but I speake of ye righteousnes before God, which cometh by the faith on Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpo all them that beleue.For here is no difference. |
| 3:23 | For they are all synners, and wate the prayse that God shulde haue of the, |
| 3:24 | but without deseruynge are they made righteous eue by his grace, thorow the redempcion that is done by Christ Iesu, |
| 3:25 | whom God hath set forth for a Mercyseate thorow faith in his bloude, to shewe the righteousnes which avayleth before him, in that he forgeueth the synnes, which were done before vnder the sufferaunce of God, which he suffred, |
| 3:26 | that at this tyme he mighte shewe ye righteousnes which avayleth before him: yt he onely mighte be righteous, & the righteous maker of him which is of the faith on Iesus. |
| 3:27 | Where is now then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? By the lawe of workes? Nay, but by the lawe of faith. |
| 3:28 | We holde therfore that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the lawe. |
| 3:29 | Or is God the God of the Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the Heythen? Yes verely the God of the Heythen also, |
| 3:30 | for so moch as he is the God onely that iustifieth the circumcision which is of faith, and the vncircucision thorow faith. |
| 3:31 | Destroye we then the lawe thorow faith? God forbyd. But we mantayne the lawe. |
| 3:1 | What thanne is more to a Jew, or what profit of circumcisioun? |
| 3:2 | Myche bi al wise; first, for the spekyngis of God `weren bitakun to hem. |
| 3:3 | And what if summe of hem bileueden not? Whethir the vnbileue of hem hath auoidid the feith of God? |
| 3:4 | God forbede. For God is sothefast, but ech man a liere; as it is writun, That thou be iustified in thi wordis, and ouercome, whanne thou art demed. |
| 3:5 | But if oure wickidnesse comende the riytwisnesse of God, what shulen we seie? Whether God is wickid, that bryngith in wraththe? |
| 3:6 | Aftir man Y seie. God forbede. Ellis hou schal God deme this world? |
| 3:7 | For if the treuthe of God hath aboundid in my lessyng, in to the glorie of hym, what yit am Y demed as a synner? |
| 3:8 | And not as we ben blasfemed, and as summen seien that we seien, Do we yuele thingis, that gode thingis come. Whos dampnacioun is iust. |
| 3:9 | What thanne? Passen we hem? Nay; for we han schewid bi skile, that alle bothe Jewis and Grekis ben vndur synne, |
| 3:10 | as it is writun, For ther is no man iust; |
| 3:11 | ther is no man vndurstondynge, nethir sekynge God. |
| 3:12 | Alle bowiden a wey, togidere thei ben maad vnprofitable; ther is noon that doith good thing, there is noon `til to oon. |
| 3:13 | The throte of hem is an opyn sepulcre; with her tungis thei diden gilefuli; the venym of snakis is vndur her lippis. |
| 3:14 | The mouth of whiche is ful of cursyng and bitternesse; |
| 3:15 | the feet of hem ben swifte to schede blood. |
| 3:16 | Sorewe and cursidnesse ben in the weies of hem, and thei knewen not the weie of pees; |
| 3:17 | 17"> |
| 3:18 | the drede of God is not bifor her iyen. |
| 3:19 | And we witen, that what euere thingis the lawe spekith, it spekith to hem that ben in the lawe, that ech mouth be stoppid, and ech world be maad suget to God. |
| 3:20 | For of the werkis of the lawe ech fleisch schal not be iustified bifor hym; for bi the lawe ther is knowyng of synne. |
| 3:21 | But now with outen the lawe the riytwisnesse of God is schewid, that is witnessid of the lawe and the profetis. |
| 3:22 | And the riytwisnesse of God is bi the feith of Jhesu Crist in to alle men and on alle men that bileuen in hym; for ther is no departyng. |
| 3:23 | For alle men synneden, and han nede to the glorie of God; |
| 3:24 | and ben iustified freli bi his grace, bi the ayenbiyng that is in `Crist Jhesu. |
| 3:25 | Whom God ordeynede foryyuer, bi feith in his blood, to the schewyng of his riytwisnesse, for remyssioun of biforgoynge synnes, |
| 3:26 | in the beryng up of God, to the schewyng of his riytwisnesse in this tyme, that he be iust, and iustifyynge hym that is of the feith of Jhesu Crist. |
| 3:27 | Where thanne is thi gloriyng? It is excludid. Bi what lawe? Of dedis doyng? Nay, but by the lawe of feith. |
| 3:28 | For we demen a man to be iustified bi the feith, with outen werkis of the lawe. |
| 3:29 | Whethir of Jewis is God oneli? Whether he is not also of hethene men? Yhis, and of hethene men. |
| 3:30 | For `oon God is, that iustefieth circumcisioun bi feith, and prepucie bi feith. |
| 3:31 | Distruye we therfor the lawe bi the feith? God forbede; but we stablischen the lawe. |
