| 3:1 | What, then, `is' the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision? |
| 3:2 | much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God; |
| 3:3 | for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless? |
| 3:4 | let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, `That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.' |
| 3:5 | And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) |
| 3:6 | let it not be! since how shall God judge the world? |
| 3:7 | for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged? |
| 3:8 | and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- `We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous. |
| 3:9 | What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin, |
| 3:10 | according as it hath been written -- `There is none righteous, not even one; |
| 3:11 | There is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God. |
| 3:12 | All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one. |
| 3:13 | A sepulchre opened `is' their throat; with their tongues they used deceit; poison of asps `is' under their lips. |
| 3:14 | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. |
| 3:15 | Swift `are' their feet to shed blood. |
| 3:16 | Ruin and misery `are' in their ways. |
| 3:17 | And a way of peace they did not know. |
| 3:18 | There is no fear of God before their eyes.' |
| 3:19 | And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God; |
| 3:20 | wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin. |
| 3:21 | And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets, |
| 3:22 | and the righteousness of God `is' through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference, |
| 3:23 | for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God -- |
| 3:24 | being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that `is' in Christ Jesus, |
| 3:25 | whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God -- |
| 3:26 | for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who `is' of the faith of Jesus. |
| 3:27 | Where then `is' the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith: |
| 3:28 | therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law. |
| 3:29 | The God of Jews only `is He', and not also of nations? |
| 3:30 | yes, also of nations; since one `is' God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith. |
| 3:31 | Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law. |
| 3:1 | What preferment then hath the Iewe? other what a vauntageth circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Surely very moche. Fyrst vnto them was committed the worde of God |
| 3:3 | What then though some of them did not beleve? shall their vnbeleve make the promes of god with out effecte? |
| 3:4 | God forbid. Let god be true and all men lyars as it is written: That thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy sayinge and shuldest overcome when thou arte iudged. |
| 3:5 | Yf oure vnrightewesnes make the rightewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnrighteous which taketh vengeauce? I speake after the maner of me. |
| 3:6 | God forbid. For how then shall God iudge the worlde? |
| 3:7 | Yf the veritie of God appere moare excellent thorow my lye vnto his prayse why am I hence forth iudged as a synner? |
| 3:8 | and saye not rather (as men evyll speake of vs and as some affirme that we saye) let vs do evyll that good maye come therof. Whose damnacion is iuste. |
| 3:9 | What saye we then? Are we better then they? No in no wyse. For we have all ready proved how that both Iewes and Gentils are all vnder synne |
| 3:10 | as it is writte: There is none righteous no not one: |
| 3:11 | There is none that vnderstondith there is none yt seketh after God |
| 3:12 | they are all gone out of ye waye they are all made vnprofytable ther is none that doeth good no not one. |
| 3:13 | Their throte is an open sepulchre with their tounges they have disceaved: the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes. |
| 3:14 | Whose mouthes are full of coursynge and bitternes. |
| 3:15 | Their fete are swyfte to sheed bloud. |
| 3:16 | Destruccion and wretchednes are in their wayes. |
| 3:17 | And the waye of peace they have not knowen. |
| 3:18 | There is no feare of God before their eyes. |
| 3:19 | Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued to god |
| 3:20 | because that by ye dedes of the lawe shall no flesshe be iustified in the sight of God. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of synne. |
| 3:21 | Now verely is ye rigtewesnes that cometh of God declared without the fulfillinge of ye lawe havinge witnes yet of ye lawe and of the Prophetes. |
| 3:22 | The rightewesnes no dout which is good before God cometh by ye fayth of Iesus Christ vnto all and vpon all that beleve.Ther is no differece: |
| 3:23 | ΒΆ For there is no difference, for all have synned and lacke the prayse yt is of valoure before God: |
| 3:24 | but are iustified frely by his grace through the redemcion that is in Christ Iesu |
| 3:25 | whom God hath made a seate of mercy thorow faith in his bloud to shewe ye rightewesnes which before him is of valoure in yt he forgeveth ye synnes yt are passed which God dyd suffre |
| 3:26 | to shewe at this tyme ye rightewesnes yt is alowed of him yt he myght be couted iuste and a iustifiar of him which belevith on Iesus. |
| 3:27 | Where is then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? by ye lawe of workes? Naye: but by the lawe of fayth. |
| 3:28 | For we suppose that a man is iustified by fayth without the dedes of ye lawe. |
| 3:29 | Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes eve of the Gentyles also. |
| 3:30 | For it is God only which iustifieth circumcision which is of fayth and vncircumcision thorow fayth. |
| 3:31 | Do we then destroye the lawe thorow fayth? God forbid. But we rather mayntayne the lawe. |
| 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. |
