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. |

Therefore wee conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the deeds of the Law. |
|

|
| 3:30 |

|
| 3:31 |
Doe we then make void the lawe through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law. |
