Romans 3:9-26

⁹What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,

¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

¹¹There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.

¹²They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

¹³Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.

¹⁴Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.

¹⁵Their feete are swift to shead blood.

¹⁶Destruction and calamity are in their waies,

¹⁷And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.

¹⁸The feare of God is not before their eies.

¹⁹Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.

²⁰Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

²¹But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,

²²To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.

²³For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,

²⁴And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,

²⁵Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,

²⁶Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.
