Romans 3:1-9

1ThenG3767 whatG5101 1advantageG4053 has the JewG2453? OrG2228 whatG5101 is the benefitG5622 of circumcisionG4061? 2GreatG4183 in everyG3956 respectG5158. FirstG4413 of allG4413, that 2they were entrustedG4100 with the 3oraclesG3051 of GodG2316. 3WhatG5101 thenG1063? IfG1487 4someG5100 5did not believeG569, their 6unbeliefG570 will not nullifyG2673 the faithfulnessG4102 of GodG2316, will it? 47May it neverG3361 be! RatherG1161, let GodG2316 be foundG1096 trueG227, thoughG1161 everyG3956 manG444 be found 8a liarG5583, as it is writtenG1125, “9That You may be justifiedG1344 in Your wordsG3056, And prevailG3528 whenG1722 You 10are judgedG2919.” 5But ifG1487 our unrighteousnessG93 1112demonstratesG4921 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316, 13whatG5101 shall we sayG3004? The GodG2316 who inflictsG2018 wrathG3709 is not unrighteousG94, is He? (14I am speakingG3004 in humanG444 termsG2596.) 615May it neverG3361 be! For otherwiseG1893, howG4459 will 16GodG2316 judgeG2919 the worldG2889? 7But ifG1487 throughG1722 my lieG5582 17the truthG225 of GodG2316 aboundedG4052 to His gloryG1391, 18whyG5101 am I alsoG2532 stillG2089 being judgedG2919 as a sinnerG268? 8And why not say (as we are slanderouslyG987 reportedG987 and as someG5100 claimG5346 that we sayG3004), “19Let us doG4160 evilG2556 that goodG18 may comeG2064”? 20Their condemnationG2917 is justG1738.

9WhatG5101 thenG3767? 2122Are we betterG4284 than they? Not at allG3843; for we have alreadyG4256 chargedG4256 that bothG5037 23JewsG2453 and 24GreeksG1672 are 25allG3956 underG5259 sinG266;
