What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? (3:1)

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God (3:2)

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? (3:3)

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 (3:4)

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) (3:5)

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? (3:6)

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? (3:7)

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 (3:8)

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; (3:9)

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (3:10)

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God (3:11)

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one (3:12)

Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips: (3:13)

Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness: (3:14)

Their feet [are] swift to shed blood: (3:15)

Destruction and misery [are] in their ways: (3:16)

And the way of peace have they not known: (3:17)

There is no fear of God before their eyes (3:18)

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 (3:19)

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 (3:20)

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; (3:21)

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: (3:22)

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (3:23)

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (3:24)

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; (3:25)

To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus (3:26)

Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith (3:27)

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law (3:28)

[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: (3:29)

Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith (3:30)

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law (3:31)
