Sha'ul�s Letter to the Romans, Chapter 3
{3:1} Then what advantage does the Yehudi have? Or what is the
profit of circumcision? {3:2} Much in every way! Because first of all,
they were entrusted with the oracles of God. {3:3} For what if some
were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness
of God? {3:4} May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every
man a liar. As it is written,
"That you might be justified in your words,
And might prevail when you come into judgment."
{3:5} But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God,
what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like
men do. {3:6} May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
{3:7} For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory,
why am I also still judged as a sinner? {3:8} Why not (as we are
slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do
evil, that good may come?" Those who say so are justly condemned.
{3:9} What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we
previously charged both Yehudim and Yevanim, that they are all under
sin. {3:10} As it is written,
"There is no one righteous.
No, not one.
{3:11} There is no one who understands.
There is no one who seeks after God.
{3:12} They have all turned aside.
They have together become unprofitable.
There is no one who does good,
No, not, so much as one."
{3:13} "Their throat is an open tomb.
With their tongues they have used deceit."
"The poison of vipers 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} The way of shalom, they haven't known."
{3:18} "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
{3:19} Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to
those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all
the world may be brought under the judgment of God. {3:20} Because by
the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For
through the law comes the knowledge of sin. {3:21} But now apart from
the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by
the law and the prophets; {3:22} even the righteousness of God through
faith in Yeshua the Messiah to all and on all those who believe. For
there is no distinction, {3:23} for all have sinned, and fall short of
the glory of God; {3:24} being justified freely by his grace through
the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua; {3:25} whom God set forth to
be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a
demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior
sins, in God's forbearance; {3:26} to demonstrate his righteousness at
this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of
him who has faith in Yeshua.
{3:27} Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of
law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. {3:28} We maintain therefore
that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
{3:29} Or is God the God of Yehudim only? Isn't he the God of Goyim
also? Yes, of Goyim also, {3:30} since indeed there is one God who
will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through
faith. {3:31} Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never
be! No, we establish the law.
