Romans 3:9-31
- 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;
- 10
- As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
- 11
- 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.
- 13
- Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 23
- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
- 24
- Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
- 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;
- 26
- To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and 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.
- 28
- Therefore we conclude that 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:
- 30
- Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
- 31
- Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
