1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.
2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3For what if some of them have not believed? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid!
3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
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.
4God 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.
5But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?
5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6(I speak according to man.) God forbid! Otherwise how shall God judge this world?
6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

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.
8And 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.
9What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
9What 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;
10As it is written: There is not any man just.
10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11There is none that understandeth: there is none that seeketh after God.
11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
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.
12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
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.
19Now 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.
20Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.
20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21But now, without the law, the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
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.
22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23For all have sinned and do need the glory of God.
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

25Whom 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;
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
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
