1 What then the pre–eminence of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision?

2 Much, according to every mode. First indeed for, because they were entreated with the oracles of the God.

3 What for? if believed not some, not the unbelief of them the faith of the God will make void?

4 Not let it be; let it be but the God true, every but man a liar, even as it has been written: That thou mayest be justified in the words of thee, and mayest conquer in the to be judged thee.

5 If but the unrighteousness of us of God righteousness establishes, what shall we say? not unrighteous the God that inflicting wrath? (according to man I speak.)

6 Not let it be; otherwise how will judge the God the world?

7 If for the truth of the God by the my falsehood abounded to the glory of him, why yet also I as a sinner am judged?

8 And not (as we are falsely accused, and as affirm some of us to say,) that we may do the evil things, so that may come the good things? of whom the judgment just is.

9 What then? do we excel? Not at all; we before convicted for, Jews both and Greeks all under sin to be?

10 even as it has been written: That not is just not even one;

11 not is he understanding, not is he seeking out the God;

12 all turned aside, together they were unprofitable; not is doing goodness, not is even one.

13 A sepulchre having been opened the throat of them; with the tongues of them they deceived. Venom of asps under the lips of them;

14 Of whom the mouth of cursing and bitterness is full.

15 Swift the feet of them to pour out blood;

16 ruin and misery in the ways of them;

17 and a way of peace not they knew.

18 Not is fear of God before the eyes of them.

19 We know and, that what things the law says, to those under the law it speaks; that every mouth may be stopped, and liable to penalty may become all the world to the God.

20 Therefore from works of law not shall be justified all flesh before him; through for law an acknowledgment of sin.

21 Now but without law a righteousness of God has been made manifest, being attested by the law and the prophets,

22 a righteousness even of God through faith of Jesus Anointed, to all and upon all the believing; not for is a distinction.

23 All for sinned, and come short of the glory of the God,

24 being justified freely, by the of him favor, through the redemption that in Anointed Jesus;

25 whom set forth the God a mercy–seat through the faith by the of him blood, for a pointing out of the righteousness of himself, through the passing by of the formerly committed sins in the forbearance of the God;

26 to a point out of the righteousness of himself in the present time, in order that to be him righteous, and justifying him of faith of Jesus.

27 Where then the boasting? it is shut out. Through what kind of law? of the works? no, but through a law of faith;

28 we reckon for, to be justified by faith a man, without works of law.

29 Or of Jews the God alone? not and of Gentiles? yes also of Gentiles.

30 Since one the God, who will justify circumcision from faith, and uncircumcision through the faith.

31 Law then do we nullify through the faith? Not let it be; but law we establish.

1 What then is the superiority of the Jew? What is the benefit of circumcision?

2 Much in every way. First they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

3 For what? If some have not believed, will their unbelief make the faith of God of no effect?

4 Certainly not! But let God be true, and every man false. It is written: So that you should be proved righteous in your words and should overcome when you are judged.

5 If our unrighteousness defines God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? God is not unrighteous when he vents his anger is he? I speak in human terms.

6 Not at all! For how will God judge the world?

7 But what if my untruth serves God’s glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I be condemned as a sinner?

8 Why not say, »Let us do evil so that good may come?« Some people have insulted me by accusing me of saying this very thing! They should be condemned and they will be.

9 Are we Jews in any better condition than the people of the nations? Not at all! I have already shown that Jews and the people of the nations are all under the power of sin.

10 The Scriptures say: »There is no one who is righteous,

11 »There is no one who has insight. No one seeks God!

12 »All have turned away from God; they have all done wrong. No one does what is right, not even one.« (Psalm 53:3)

13 »Their throat is an open grave. They have practiced deceit with their tongues. The poison of snakes is under their lips.« (Psalm 5:9)

14 »Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.« (Psalm 10:7)

15 »Their feet are swift to shed blood.« (Proverbs 1:15)

16 »Destruction and misery are in their ways.« (Isaiah 59:7)

17 »They have not known the way of peace.« (Isaiah 59:7, 8)

18 There is no respect reverence for God before their eyes. (Psalm 36:1)

19 We know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law. Every mouth may be stopped and the entire world may become liable to God for punishment.

20 No flesh will be justified before God by works of the law. Knowledge of sin comes from the law.

21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets.

22 God makes people righteous through their active faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all.

23 For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God

24 being justified freely by his grace as a gift through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

25 God displayed Christ publicly as propitiation atonement by his blood through faith. It demonstrated his righteousness. It was through the forbearance of God that he passed by the sins that had taken place before.

26 It showed his righteousness at this present season that he might himself be righteous, and the justifier of he who has faith in Jesus.

27 Where is the boasting? It is excluded. Is it by law? Is it by works? No, it is by a principle of faith.

28 We reason therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the nations also? Yes, of the nations also.

30 If God is one he will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

31 Do we nullify the law through faith? No we do not! In fact, we establish continuestand byuphold the law.
