Romans 3
1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit <add>is there</add> of circumcision?2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?4God 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.5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? <add>Is</add> God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? ( I speak as a man)6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?8And not <add>rather</add>, ( as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9What then? are we better <add>than they</add>? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.13Their throat <add>is</add> an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps <add>is</add> under their lips:14Whose mouth <add>is</add> full of cursing and bitterness:15Their feet <add>are</add> swift to shed blood:16Destruction and misery <add>are</add> in their ways:17And the way of peace have they not known:18There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19Now 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.20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law <add>is</add> the knowledge of sin.
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;22Even the righteousness of God <add>which is</add> by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:25Whom God hath set forth <add>to be</add> a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;26To declare, <add>I say</add>, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.27Where <add>is</add> boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.29<add>Is he</add> the God of the Jews only? <add>is he</add> not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:30Seeing <add>it is</add> one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
