Romans - Chapter: 3


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.


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 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	¶ 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.
