3:1 What 5101 advantage 4053 then 3767 hath the Jew 2453? or 2228 what 5101 profit 5622 [is there] of circumcision 4061?

3:2 Much 4183 every 2596 3956 way 5158: chiefly 4412, because 3303 1063 that 3754 unto them were committed 4100 5681 the oracles 3051 of God 2316.

3:3 For 1063 what 5101 if 1487 some 5100 did not believe 569 5656? 3361 shall 2673 0 their 846 unbelief 570 make 2673 0 the faith 4102 of God 2316 without effect 2673 5692?

3:4 God forbid 3361 1096 5636: yea 1161, let 1096 0 God 2316 be 1096 5737 true 227, but 1161 every 3956 man 444 a liar 5583; as 2531 it is written 1125 5769, That 3704 thou mightest 302 be justified 1344 5686 in 1722 thy 4675 sayings 3056, and 2532 mightest overcome 3528 5661 when 1722 thou 4571 art judged 2919 5745.

3:5 But 1161 if 1487 our 2257 unrighteousness 93 commend 4921 5719 the righteousness 1343 of God 2316, what 5101 shall we say 2046 5692? 3361 [Is] God 2316 unrighteous 94 who taketh 2018 5723 vengeance 3709? (I speak 3004 5719 as 2596 a man 444)

3:6 God forbid 3361 1096 5636: for then 1893 how 4459 shall 2919 0 God 2316 judge 2919 5692 5719 the world 2889?

3:7 For 1063 if 1487 the truth 225 of God 2316 hath more abounded 4052 5656 through 1722 my 1699 lie 5582 unto 1519 his 846 glory 1391; why 5101 yet 2089 am 2919 0 I also 2504 judged 2919 5743 as 5613 a sinner 268?

3:8 And 2532 not 3361 [rather], (as 2531 we be slanderously reported 987 5743, and 2532 as 2531 some 5100 affirm 5346 5748 that we 2248 say 3004 5721,) 3754 Let us do 4160 5661 evil 2556, that 2443 good 18 may come 2064 5632? whose 3739 damnation 2917 is 2076 5748 just 1738.

3:9 What 5101 then 3767? are we better 4284 5736 [than they]? No 3756, in no wise 3843: for 1063 we have before proved 4256 5662 both 5037 Jews 2453 and 2532 Gentiles 1672, that they are 1511 5750 all 3956 under 5259 sin 266;(proved: Gr. charged)

3:10 As 2531 it is written 1125 5769, 3754 There is 2076 5748 none 3756 righteous 1342, no, not 3761 one 1520:

3:11 There is 2076 5748 none 3756 that understandeth 4920 5723, there is 2076 5748 none 3756 that seeketh after 1567 5723 God 2316.

3:12 They are 1578 0 all 3956 gone out of the way 1578 5656, they are 889 0 together 260 become unprofitable 889 5681; there is 2076 5748 none 3756 that doeth 4160 5723 good 5544, no, not 3756 one 2076 5748 2193 1520.

3:13 Their 846 throat 2995 [is] an open 455 5772 sepulchre 5028; with their 846 tongues 1100 they have used deceit 1387 5707; the poison 2447 of asps 785 [is] under 5259 their 846 lips 5491:

3:14 Whose 3739 mouth 4750 [is] full 1073 5719 of cursing 685 and 2532 bitterness 4088:

3:15 Their 846 feet 4228 [are] swift 3691 to shed 1632 5658 blood 129:

3:16 Destruction 4938 and 2532 misery 5004 [are] in 1722 their 846 ways 3598:

3:17 And 2532 the way 3598 of peace 1515 have 1097 0 they not 3756 known 1097 5627:

3:18 There is 2076 5748 no 3756 fear 5401 of God 2316 before 561 their 846 eyes 3788.

3:19 Now 1161 we know 1492 5758 that 3754 what things soever 3745 the law 3551 saith 3004 5719, it saith 2980 5719 to them who are under 1722 the law 3551: that 2443 every 3956 mouth 4750 may be stopped 5420 5652, and 2532 all 3956 the world 2889 may become 1096 5638 guilty 5267 before God 2316.(guilty…: or, subject to the judgment of God)

3:20 Therefore 1360 by 1537 the deeds 2041 of the law 3551 there shall 1344 0 no 3956 3756 flesh 4561 be justified 1344 5701 in his 846 sight 1799: for 1063 by 1223 the law 3551 [is] the knowledge 1922 of sin 266.

3:21 But 1161 now 3570 the righteousness 1343 of God 2316 without 5565 the law 3551 is manifested 5319 5769, being witnessed 3140 5746 by 5259 the law 3551 and 2532 the prophets 4396;

3:22 Even 1161 the righteousness 1343 of God 2316 [which is] by 1223 faith 4102 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 unto 1519 all 3956 and 2532 upon 1909 all 3956 them that believe 4100 5723: for 1063 there is 2076 5748 no 3756 difference 1293:

3:23 For 1063 all 3956 have sinned 264 5627, and 2532 come short 5302 5743 of the glory 1391 of God 2316;

3:24 Being justified 1344 5746 freely 1432 by his 846 grace 5485 through 1223 the redemption 629 that is in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424:

3:25 Whom 3739 God 2316 hath set forth 4388 5639 [to be] a propitiation 2435 through 1223 faith 4102 in 1722 his 846 blood 129, to 1519 declare 1732 his 846 righteousness 1343 for 1223 the remission 3929 of sins 265 that are past 4266 5761, through 1722 the forbearance 463 of God 2316;(set forth: or, foreordained)(remission: or, passing over)

3:26 To 4314 declare 1732, [I say], at 1722 this 3568 time 2540 his 846 righteousness 1343: that 1519 he might be 1511 5750 just 1342, and 2532 the justifier 1344 5723 of him 846 which believeth 4102 in 1537 Jesus 2424.

3:27 Where 4226 [is] boasting 2746 then 3767? It is excluded 1576 5681. By 1223 what 4169 law 3551? of works 2041? Nay 3780: but 235 by 1223 the law 3551 of faith 4102.

3:28 Therefore 3767 we conclude 3049 5736 that a man 444 is justified 1344 5745 by faith 4102 without 5565 the deeds 2041 of the law 3551.

3:29 [Is he] 2228 the God 2316 of the Jews 2453 only 3440? [is he] not 3780 also 1161 2532 of the Gentiles 1484? Yes 3483, of the Gentiles 1484 also 2532:

3:30 Seeing 1897 [it is] one 1520 God 2316, which 3739 shall justify 1344 5692 the circumcision 4061 by 1537 faith 4102, and 2532 uncircumcision 203 through 1223 faith 4102.

3:31 Do we 2673 0 then 3767 make void 2673 5719 the law 3551 through 1223 faith 4102? God forbid 3361 1096 5636: yea 235, we establish 2476 5719 the law 3551.
