There Is None Righteous

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:1 -

Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:2 - Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:3 - What then? If some [fn]did not believe, does their [fn]unbelief abolish the faithfulness of God?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:4 - May it never be! Rather, let God be true and every man a liar, as it is written,

“THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS,

AND OVERCOME WHEN YOU [fn]ARE JUDGED.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:5 -

But if our unrighteousness [fn]demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is the God who inflicts wrath unrighteous? (I am speaking in human terms.)

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:6 - May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:7 - But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:8 - And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? [fn]Their condemnation is just.
(Psa 14:1–3; 53:1–4 )
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:9 -

What then? Are we [fn]better? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:10 - as it is written,

“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:11 -

THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,

THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:12 -

ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME WORTHLESS;

THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,

THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:13 -

“THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN TOMB,

WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,”

“THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”;

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:14 -

“WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS”;

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:15 -

“THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:16 -

DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:17 -

AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:18 -

“THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.”

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:19 -

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are in the Law, so that every mouth may be shut and all the world may become accountable to God;

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:20 - because by the works [fn]of the Law NO FLESH WILL BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT, for [fn]through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:21 -

But now apart [fn]from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:22 - even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [fn]who believe; for there is no distinction;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:23 - for all [fn]have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:24 - being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:25 - whom God displayed publicly as a [fn]propitiation [fn]in His blood through faith, for a demonstration of His righteousness, [fn]because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:26 - for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who [fn]has faith in Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:27 -

Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:28 - [fn]For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works [fn]of the Law.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:29 - Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:30 - since indeed God, who will justify the [fn]circumcised [fn]by faith and the [fn]uncircumcised through that faith, is one.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 3:31 -

Do we then abolish [fn]the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
