(KJV) Romans 3¹

⥃God Remains Faithful

[1] What advantage² then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? [2] Much³ every way: chiefly, because⁴ that unto them were committed⁵ the oracles⁶ of God. [3] For what if some⁷ did not believe? shall⁸ their unbelief make the faith⁹ of God without effect? [4] God forbid¹⁰: yea, let God¹¹ be true, but every¹² man a liar; as it is written, That thou¹³ mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. [5] But if¹⁴ our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall¹⁵ we say? [Is] God¹⁶ unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak¹⁷ as a man) [6] God forbid¹⁸: for then¹⁹ how shall God judge the world? [7] For if the truth²⁰ of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet²¹ am I also judged as a sinner? [8] And not [rather], (as we be²² slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us²³ do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

⥃There Is No One Righteous ^{[ Psalms 14:1–7 † Psalms 53:1–6 † Isaiah 59:1–17 ]}

[9] What then²⁴? are we²⁵ better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved²⁶ both Jews and Gentiles, that they²⁷ are all under sin; [10] As it is²⁸ written, There²⁹ is none³⁰ righteous, no, not one: [11] There is none that understandeth³¹, there is none that seeketh³² after God. [12] They are³³ all gone out of the way, they are together become³⁴ unprofitable; there is none³⁵ that doeth good, no, not one. [13] Their throat³⁶ [is] an open sepulchre; with their³⁷ tongues they have used deceit; the poison³⁸ of asps [is] under their lips: [14] Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:³⁹ [15] Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:⁴⁰ [16] Destruction and misery [are] in their ways: [17] And the way of peace have they not known:⁴¹ [18] There is no fear of God before their eyes.⁴² [19] Now we know that what things⁴³ soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that⁴⁴ every mouth may be stopped, and all the⁴⁵ world may become guilty before God⁴⁶. [20] Therefore⁴⁷ by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh⁴⁸ be justified in his sight⁴⁹: for by the⁵⁰ law [is] the knowledge of sin.

⥃Righteousness through Faith in Christ ^{[ Philippians 3:1–11 ]}

[21] But now the righteousness⁵¹ of God without the law is manifested, being⁵² witnessed by the law and the⁵³ prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God [which is⁵⁴] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all⁵⁵ and upon⁵⁶ all them that believe: for there⁵⁷ is no difference: [23] For all have⁵⁸ sinned, and come⁵⁹ short of⁶⁰ the glory of God; [24] Being justified⁶¹ freely by his grace through⁶² the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth⁶³ [to be⁶⁴] a propitiation through⁶⁵ faith in his blood, to declare⁶⁶ his righteousness for the remission⁶⁷ of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; [26] To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he⁶⁸ might be just, and⁶⁹ the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. [27] Where⁷⁰ [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works⁷¹? Nay: but by⁷² the law of faith. [28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.⁷³ [29] [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:⁷⁴ [30] Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.⁷⁵ [31] Do we⁷⁶ then make void the law through faith? God⁷⁷ forbid: yea⁷⁸, we establish the law.
