Romans - Chapter: 3

>
3:1What preferment then hathe the Iewe? other what auauntageth circumcysyon?
3:2Surelye verye muche. Fyrste vnto them was commytted the word of God.
3:3What then though some of them dyd not beleue? shall theyr vnbelefe make the promes of God withoute effecte?
3:4God forbyd. Let God be true and all men lyars, as it is wrytten: That thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy saiynge, and shouldest ouercome when thou art iudged.
3:5If our vnryghtuousnes make the ryghtuousnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnrightuous which taketh vengeaunce? I speake after the maner of men,
3:6God forbyd. For how then shall God iudge the worlde?
3:7Yf the veritie of God appeare more excellent thorow my lye, vnto hys praise why am I hence forth iudged as a synner?
3:8& saye not rather (as men euyl speake of vs, and as some affyrme that we saye) let vs do euyll that good maye come thereof. Whose damnacyon is iuste.
3:9What saye we then? Are we better then daye? No, in no wyse. For we haue alreadye proued, howe that both Iewes and Gentyls are all vnder synne:
3:10as it is wrytten: There is none righteous, no not one:
3:11there is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seketh after God,
3:12they are all gone out of the waye, they are all made vnprofytable, there is none that doeth good, no not one.
3:13Theyr throte is an open sepulchre, with theyr tonges they haue disceyued, the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.
3:14Whose mouthes are full of curssyng and bytternes.
3:15Theyr fete are swyfte to sheed bloude.
3:16Destruccyon and wretchednes are in theyr wayes.
3:17And the way of peace they haue not knowen.
3:18There is no feare of God before theyr eyes.
3:19Yea and we knowe that whatsoeuer the law sayeth, he saith it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped, and all the world be subdued to God,
3:20because that by the dedes of the lawe, shall no fleshe be iustifyed in the syght of God. For by the lawe commeth the knoweledge of synne.
3:21Nowe verelye is the ryghteousnes that commeth of God, declared withoute the fulfyllynge of lawe, hauynge wytnes yet of the lawe and of the Prophetes.
3:22The ryghteousnes no doubte whiche is good before God commeth by the fayth of Christe, vnto all and vpon all that beleue. There is no difference:
3:23for al haue sinned, and lacke the prayse that is of valoure before God,
3:24but are iustifyed frelye by hys grace thorowe the redempcion that is in Christe Iesus,
3:25whome God hath made a seate of mercye thorowe fayth in hys bloude, to shewe the rightuousnes whiche before hym is of valoure, in that he forgeueth the synnes that are passed, whiche God dyd suffer
3:26to shewe at thys time the ryghteousnes that is alowed of hym that he myghte be counted iuste, and iustifyar of hym which beleueth on Iesus.
3:27Where is then thy reioysynge? It is excluded. By what lawe? by the lawe of workes? Naye, but by the lawe of faythe.
3:28For we suppose that a man is iustified by fayth withoute the dedes of the lawe.
3:29Is he the God of Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the gentyls? Yes, euen of the gentyls also.
3:30For it is God onelye which iustifyeth circumcysyon whiche is of fayth, and vncircumcysyon thorowe fayth.
3:31Do we then destroye the lawe thorowe fayth? God forbyd. But we rather mayntayne the lawe.

 

3:1What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision?
3:2Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.
3:3For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?
3:4God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.
3:5Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)
3:6God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?
3:7For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?
3:8And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust.
3:9What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,
3:10As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
3:11There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.
3:12They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
3:13Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.
3:14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.
3:15Their feete are swift to shead blood.
3:16Destruction and calamity are in their waies,
3:17And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.
3:18The feare of God is not before their eies.
3:19Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.
3:20Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.
3:21But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,
3:22To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.
3:23For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,
3:24And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,
3:25Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,
3:26Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.
3:27Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.
3:28Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe.
3:29God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.
3:30For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.
3:31Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.

 

3:1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
3:2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3:3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
3:4God 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.
3:5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
3:6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
3:7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
3:8And 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.
3:9What 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;
3:10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
3:11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
3:12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
3:13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
3:14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
3:15Their feet are swift to shed blood:
3:16Destruction and misery are in their ways:
3:17And the way of peace have they not known:
3:18There is no fear of God before their eyes.
3:19Now 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.
3:20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
3:21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
3:22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
3:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25Whom 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;
3:26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
3:27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
3:28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
3:29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
3:30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
3:31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
