Romans 3:1 | What, then, is the advantage of the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? |
Romans 3:2 | Much in every way! Firstly, because indeed the oracles of God were entrusted to them. |
Romans 3:3 | For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
Romans 3:4 | Absolutely not! Indeed, let God be true, and every man a liar! As it is written, “That you might be justified in your words, and overcome when you are judged.” |
Romans 3:5 | Now, if our unrighteousness exhibits the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous in punishing? (I speak as a man.) |
Romans 3:6 | Absolutely not! (or else how shall God judge the world?) |
Romans 3:7 | For if the truth of God has abounded more through my lie, unto His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner? |
Romans 3:8 | Rather, why not say (as we are slanderously accused of saying, and as some affirm that we say) “Let us do evil, that good may come?” Their damnation is just. |
