Romans 3:9-31

⁹What then? Surpass we them? Nay; for we have showed by skill, that all both Jews and Greeks be under sin or the Jews and Greeks all to be under sin,

¹⁰as it is written, For there is no man just;

¹¹there is no man understanding, neither seeking God.

¹²All bowed away, together they be made unprofitable; there is none that doeth good thing, there is none till to one.

¹³The throat of them is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they did guilefully, or treacherously; the venom of snakes is under their lips.

¹⁴The mouth of whom is full of cursing and bitterness;

¹⁵the feet of them be swift to shed blood.

¹⁶Sorrow and cursedness be in the ways of them,

¹⁷and they knew not the way of peace;

¹⁸the dread of God is not before their eyes.

¹⁹And we know, that whatever things the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that be in the law, that each mouth be stopped, and each world be made subject to God.

²⁰For of the works of the law each flesh shall not be justified before him; for by the law there is knowing of sin.

²¹But now without the law the rightwiseness of God is showed, that is witnessed of the law and the prophets.

²²And the rightwiseness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ into all men and on all men that believe in him; for there is no parting or distinction.

²³For all men sinned, and have need to the glory of God;

²⁴and be justified freely by his grace, by the again-buying or the redemption that is in Christ.

²⁵Whom God ordained forgiver or purposed an helper, by faith in his blood, to the showing of his right-wiseness, for the remission of before-going sins, in the bearing up of God,

²⁶to the showing of his rightwise-ness in this time, that he be just, and justifying him that is of the faith of Jesus Christ.

²⁷Where then is thy glorying? It is excluded. By what law? Of deeds doing? Nay, but by the law of faith.

²⁸For we deem a man to be justified by faith, without works of the law.

²⁹Whether of the Jews is God only? Whether he is not also of heathen men? Yes, and of heathen men.

³⁰For there is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and prepuce by faith.

³¹Destroy we therefore the law by faith? God forbid; but we stablish the law.
