| 3:1 | What preferment then hathe the Iewe? other what auauntageth circumcysyon? |
| 3:2 | Surelye verye muche. Fyrste vnto them was commytted the word of God. |
| 3:3 | What then though some of them dyd not beleue? shall theyr vnbelefe make the promes of God withoute effecte? |
| 3:4 | God 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. |
| 3:5 | If 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, |
| 3:6 | God forbyd. For how then shall God iudge the worlde? |
| 3:7 | Yf 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. |
| 3:9 | What 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: |
| 3:10 | as it is wrytten: There is none righteous, no not one: |
| 3:11 | there is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seketh after God, |
| 3:12 | they are all gone out of the waye, they are all made vnprofytable, there is none that doeth good, no not one. |
| 3:13 | Theyr throte is an open sepulchre, with theyr tonges they haue disceyued, the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes. |
| 3:14 | Whose mouthes are full of curssyng and bytternes. |
| 3:15 | Theyr fete are swyfte to sheed bloude. |
| 3:16 | Destruccyon and wretchednes are in theyr wayes. |
| 3:17 | And the way of peace they haue not knowen. |
| 3:18 | There is no feare of God before theyr eyes. |
| 3:19 | Yea 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, |
| 3:20 | because 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. |
| 3:21 | Nowe verelye is the ryghteousnes that commeth of God, declared withoute the fulfyllynge of lawe, hauynge wytnes yet of the lawe and of the Prophetes. |
| 3:22 | The 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: |
| 3:23 | for al haue sinned, and lacke the prayse that is of valoure before God, |
| 3:24 | but are iustifyed frelye by hys grace thorowe the redempcion that is in Christe Iesus, |
| 3:25 | whome 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 |
| 3:26 | to 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. |
| 3:27 | Where is then thy reioysynge? It is excluded. By what lawe? by the lawe of workes? Naye, but by the lawe of faythe. |
| 3:28 | For we suppose that a man is iustified by fayth withoute the dedes of the lawe. |
| 3:29 | Is he the God of Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the gentyls? Yes, euen of the gentyls also. |
| 3:30 | For it is God onelye which iustifyeth circumcysyon whiche is of fayth, and vncircumcysyon thorowe fayth. |
| 3:31 | Do we then destroye the lawe thorowe fayth? God forbyd. But we rather mayntayne the lawe. |
| 3:1 | What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God. |
| 3:3 | For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect? |
| 3:4 | God 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. |
| 3:5 | Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.) |
| 3:6 | God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world? |
| 3:7 | For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner? |
| 3:8 | And (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. |
| 3:9 | What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are 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 God. |
| 3:12 | They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. |
| 3:13 | Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes. |
| 3:14 | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse. |
| 3:15 | Their feete are swift to shead blood. |
| 3:16 | Destruction and calamity are in their waies, |
| 3:17 | And ye way of peace they haue not knowen. |
| 3:18 | The feare of God is not before their eies. |
| 3:19 | Now 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. |
| 3:20 | Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne. |
| 3:21 | But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets, |
| 3:22 | To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue. |
| 3:23 | For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God, |
| 3:24 | And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus, |
| 3:25 | Whom 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, |
| 3:26 | Through 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. |
| 3:27 | Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith. |
| 3:28 | Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe. |
| 3:29 | God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also. |
| 3:30 | For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith. |
| 3:31 | Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe. |
| 3:1 | What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. |
| 3:3 | For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
| 3:4 | God 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. |
| 3:5 | But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) |
| 3:6 | God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? |
| 3:7 | For if the truth of God 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 God. |
| 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 God before 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 God. |
| 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 God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; |
| 3:22 | Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: |
| 3:23 | For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; |
| 3:24 | Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: |
| 3:25 | Whom 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; |
| 3:26 | To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. |
| 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 God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: |
| 3:30 | Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. |
| 3:31 | Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. |
