3:1 Then
what
advantage
has
the
Jew
Or
what
is
the
value
of
circumcision
3:2 Much
in
every
way.
To
begin
with,
the
Jews
were
entrusted
with
the
oracles
of
God.
3:3 What
if
some
were
unfaithful
Does
their
faithlessness
nullify
the
faithfulness
of
God
3:4 By
no
means!
Let
God
be
true
though
every
one
were
a
liar,
as
it
is
written,
"That
you
may
be
justified
in
your
words,
and
prevail
when
you
are
judged."
3:5 But
if
our
unrighteousness
serves
to
show
the
righteousness
of
God,
what
shall
we
say
That
God
is
unrighteous
to
inflict
wrath
on
us
(I
speak
in
a
human
way.)
3:6 By
no
means!
For
then
how
could
God
judge
the
world
3:7 But
if
through
my
lie
God's
truth
abounds
to
his
glory,
why
am
I
still
being
condemned
as
a
sinner
3:8 And
why
not
do
evil
that
good
may
come--as
some
people
slanderously
charge
us
with
saying.
Their
condemnation
is
just.
3:9 What
then
Are
we
Jews
any
better
off
No,
not
at
all.
For
we
have
already
charged
that
all,
both
Jews
and
Greeks,
are
under
sin,
3:10 as
it
is
written:
"None
is
righteous,
no,
not
one;
3:11 no
one
understands;
no
one
seeks
for
God.
3:12 All
have
turned
aside;
together
they
have
become
worthless;
no
one
does
good,
not
even
one."
3:13 "Their
throat
is
an
open
grave;
they
use
their
tongues
to
deceive."
"The
venom
of
asps
is
under
their
lips."
3:14 "Their
mouth
is
full
of
curses
and
bitterness."
3:15 "Their
feet
are
swift
to
shed
blood;
3:16 in
their
paths
are
ruin
and
misery,
3:17 and
the
way
of
peace
they
have
not
known."
3:18 "There
is
no
fear
of
God
before
their
eyes."
3:19 Now
we
know
that
whatever
the
law
says
it
speaks
to
those
who
are
under
the
law,
so
that
every
mouth
may
be
stopped,
and
the
whole
world
may
be
held
accountable
to
God.
3:20 For
by
works
of
the
law
no
human
being
will
be
justified
in
his
sight,
since
through
the
law
comes
knowledge
of
sin.
3:21 But
now
the
righteousness
of
God
has
been
manifested
apart
from
the
law,
although
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
bear
witness
to
it--
3:22 the
righteousness
of
God
through
faith
in
Jesus
Christ
for
all
who
believe.
For
there
is
no
distinction:
3:23 for
all
have
sinned
and
fall
short
of
the
glory
of
God,
3:24 and
are
justified
by
his
grace
as
a
gift,
through
the
redemption
that
is
in
Christ
Jesus,
3:25 whom
God
put
forward
as
a
propitiation
by
his
blood,
to
be
received
by
faith.
This
was
to
show
God's
righteousness,
because
in
his
divine
forbearance
he
had
passed
over
former
sins.
3:26 It
was
to
show
his
righteousness
at
the
present
time,
so
that
he
might
be
just
and
the
justifier
of
the
one
who
has
faith
in
Jesus.
3:27 Then
what
becomes
of
our
boasting
It
is
excluded.
By
what
kind
of
law
By
a
law
of
works
No,
but
by
the
law
of
faith.
3:28 For
we
hold
that
one
is
justified
by
faith
apart
from
works
of
the
law.
3:29 Or
is
God
the
God
of
Jews
only
Is
he
not
the
God
of
Gentiles
also
Yes,
of
Gentiles
also,
3:30 since
God
is
one--who
will
justify
the
circumcised
by
faith
and
the
uncircumcised
through
faith.
3:31 Do
we
then
overthrow
the
law
by
this
faith
By
no
means!
On
the
contrary,
we
uphold
the
law.
