Romans . 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ..... all the world guilty ..... justification by faith
03:01 .. then what advantage has the Jew .. or what is the benefit of circumcision
03:02 .. great in every respect .. first of all .. that they were entrusted with the oracles of God
03:03 .. what then .. If some did not believe .. their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God .. will it
03:04 .. may it never be .. rather .. let God be found true .. though every man be found a liar .. as it is written . . .
......... that you may be justified in your words .. and prevail when you are judged
03:05 .. but if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God .. what shall we say ..
......... the God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous .. is he (I am speaking in human terms)
03:06 .. may it never be .. for otherwise .. how will God judge the world
03:07 .. but if through my lie the truth of God abounded to his glory .. why am I also still being judged as a sinner
03:08 .. and why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say) .. let us do evil that good may come ..
......... their condemnation is just
03:09 .. what then .. are we better than they .. not at all .. for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin
03:10 .. as it is written . . . there is none righteous .. not even one
03:11 .. there is none who understands .. there is none who seeks for God
03:12 .. all have turned aside .. together they have become useless .. there is none who does good .. there is not even one
03:13 .. their throat is an open grave .. with their tongues they keep deceiving .. the poison of asps is under their lips
03:14 .. whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness
03:15 .. their feet are swift to shed blood
03:16 .. destruction and misery are in their paths
03:17 .. and the path of peace they have not known
03:18 .. there is no fear of God before their eyes
03:19 .. now we know that whatever the Law says .. it speaks to those who are under the Law .. so that every mouth may be closed and all the
......... world may become accountable to God
03:20 .. because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in his sight .. for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin
.................. justification by faith
03:21 .. but now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested .. being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets
03:22 .. even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe .. for there is no distinction
03:23 .. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
03:24 .. being justified as a gift by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus
03:25 .. whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in his blood through faith .. this was to demonstrate his righteousness ..
......... because in the forbearance of God he passed over the sins previously committed
03:26 .. for the demonstration .. I say .. of his righteousness at the present time .. so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus
03:27 .. where then is boasting .. It is excluded .. by what kind of law .. of works .. no .. but by a law of faith
03:28 .. for we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law
03:29 .. or is God the God of Jews only .. Is he not the God of Gentiles also .. yes .. of Gentiles also
03:30 .. since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one
03:31 .. do we then nullify the Law through faith .. may it never be .. on the contrary .. we establish the Law
The sum of all sin is coming short of the glory of God for which we were created .. therefore all the world stands guilty before God .. unable by any works to gain acceptance with God .. justification before God is resolved thereby purely into the free grace of God through Jesus Christ to all who will receive it as a free gift . . . . v 22 the gospel excludes none that do not exclude themselves by refusing to appropriate the finished work of Jesus Christ .. the best brand of self-righteousness will not stand before God .. we must wear the righteousness which God has ordained and which is brought in by his son .. all men alike are welcome to God through Jesus Christ .. he has but one plan of salvation
