1What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision?
1What advantage then hath the Jew: or what is the profit of circumcision?
2Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles ofGod.
2Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.
3For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith ofGod of none effect?
3For what if some of them have not believed? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid!
4Far be the thought: but letGod be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.
4But God is true and every man a liar, as it is written: That thou mayest be justified in thy words and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
5But if our unrighteousness commendGod's righteousness, what shall we say? IsGod unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.
5But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?
6Far be the thought: since how shallGod judge the world?
6(I speak according to man.) God forbid! Otherwise how shall God judge this world?
7For if the truth ofGod, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?
8and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.
8And not rather (as we are slandered and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil that there may come good? Whose damnation is just.
9What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:
9What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
10according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one;
10As it is written: There is not any man just.
11there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks afterGod.
11There is none that understandeth: there is none that seeketh after God.
12All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:
12All have turned out of the way: they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
13their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison [is] under their lips:
13Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
19Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment toGod.
19Now we know that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law: that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be made subject to God.
20Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin.
20Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21But now without law righteousness ofGod is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;
21But now, without the law, the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
22righteousness ofGod by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;
22Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction.
23for all have sinned, and come short of the glory ofGod;
23For all have sinned and do need the glory of God.
24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;
24Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25whomGod has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance ofGod;
25Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,
26for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.
26Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus Christ
27Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;
27Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
28for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.
28For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.
29Is [God] theGod of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also:
29Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? yes, of the Gentiles also.
