| 3:1 | What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. |
| 3:2 | 凡事大有好處．第一是 神的聖言交託他們。 |
| 3:2 | 凡事大有好处。第一是神的圣言交托他们。 |
| act:7:38 | This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: |
| COBL | |
| 3:3 | For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
| 3:4 | God 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. |
| 3:5 | But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) |
| 3:6 | God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? |
| 3:7 | For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? |
| 3:8 | And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. |
| 3:9 | 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; |
| 3:10 | As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: |
| 3:11 | There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. |
| 3:12 | They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
| 3:13 | Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: |
| 3:14 | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: |
| 3:15 | Their feet are swift to shed blood: |
| 3:16 | Destruction and misery are in their ways: |
| 3:17 | And the way of peace have they not known: |
| 3:18 | There is no fear of God before their eyes. |
| 3:19 | 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. |
| 3:20 | 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. |
| 3:21 | But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; |
| 3:22 | 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: |
| 3:23 | For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; |
| 3:24 | Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: |
| 3:25 | 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; |
| 3:26 | To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. |
| 3:27 | Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. |
| 3:28 | Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. |
| 3:29 | Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: |
| 3:30 | Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. |
| 3:31 | Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. |
