1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

<>vv. 1-2, <>circumcision

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

<>vv. 1-2

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

<>what if some did not believe? … unbelief

4 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.

<>God forbid, <>let God be true, <>let God be true … as it is written, <>a liar, <>it is written

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

<>vv. 5-6

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

<>vv. 5-6, <>how shall God judge the world?

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

<>if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie

8 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.

<>slanderously

9 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;

<>proved, <>they are all under sin

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

<>There is none righteous, no, not one

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

<>There is none that understandeth, <>there is none that seeketh after God

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

<>They are all gone out of the way, <>out of the way, <>they are together become unprofitable

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

<>Their throat is an open sepulchre, <>the poison of asps

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

<>v. 17, <>peace

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 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.

<>that every mouth may be stopped

20 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.

<>justified, <>by the law is the knowledge of sin

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

22 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:

<>the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, <>unto … and … upon, <>them that believe

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

<>all have sinned

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

<>his grace, <>redemption

25 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;

<>his blood, <>his righteousness, <>remission of sins, <>forbearance

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

<>that he might be … the justifier, <>the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus

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

<>boasting, <>boasting … is excluded … By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

<>a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

<>v. 29

30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

<>the circumcision

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

<>v. 31
