Romans 3:10-31
10as it is writtenG1125: “1There is noG3756 righteousG1342 personG1342, not evenG3761 oneG1520;11There is noG3756 one who understandsG4920, There is noG3756 one who seeksG1567 outG1567 GodG2316;12They have allG3956 turnedG1578 asideG1578, togetherG260 they have becomeG889 2corruptG889; There is noG3756 one who doesG4160 goodG5544, There is not evenG2193 oneG1520.”13“3Their throatG2995 is an openG455 graveG5028, With their tonguesG1100 they keep deceivingG1387,” “4The venomG2447 of 5aspsG785 is underG5259 their lipsG5491”;14“6TheirG3739 mouthG4750 is fullG1073 of cursingG685 and bitternessG4088”;15“7Their feetG4228 are swiftG3691 to shedG1632 bloodG129,16DestructionG4938 and miseryG5004 are in their pathsG3598,17And they have not knownG1097 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.”18“8There is noG3756 fearG5401 of GodG2316 beforeG561 their eyesG3788.”
19NowG1161 we knowG3609 that whateverG3745 the 9LawG3551 saysG3004, it speaksG2980 to 10thoseG3588 who are 11underG1722 the LawG3551, soG2443 thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be closedG5420 and 12allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 accountableG5267 to GodG2316; 20becauseG1360 13by the worksG2041 14of the LawG3551 15noneG3756G3956 of mankindG4561 will be justifiedG1344 inG1799 His sightG1799; for 1617throughG1223 the LawG3551 comes 18knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
21But nowG3570 apartG5565 19from the LawG3551 20the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 has been revealedG5319, being 21witnessedG3140 by the 22LawG3551 and the ProphetsG4396, 22but it is the 23righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 throughG1223 24faithG4102 25in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for 26allG3956 thoseG3588 27who believeG4100; for 28there is noG3756 distinctionG1293, 23for allG3956 2930have sinnedG264 and fallG5302 shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, 24being justifiedG1344 as a giftG1432 31by His graceG5485 throughG1223 32the redemptionG629 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 25whomG3739 GodG2316 displayedG4388 publiclyG4388 as 33a 34propitiationG2435 3536in His bloodG129 throughG1223 faithG4102. This was to demonstrateG1731 His righteousnessG1343, 37becauseG1223 in God’sG2316 merciful 38restraintG463 He 39letG3929 the sinsG265 previouslyG4266 committedG4266 goG3929 unpunishedG3929; 26for the demonstrationG1732, that is, of His righteousnessG1343 at the presentG3568 timeG2540, soG1519 thatG1519 He would be justG1342 and the justifierG1344 of the one who 40has faithG4102 in JesusG2424.
27WhereG4226 thenG3767 is 41boastingG2746? It has been excludedG1576. By 42whatG4169 kindG4169 of lawG3551? Of worksG2041? NoG3780, but by a lawG3551 of faithG4102. 2843For 44we maintainG3049 that a personG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 apartG5565 from worksG2041 45of the LawG3551. 29OrG2228 46is GodG2316 the God of JewsG2453 onlyG3440? Is He not the God of GentilesG1484 alsoG2532? YesG3483, of GentilesG1484 alsoG2532, 30sinceG1512 indeedG1512 47GodG2316 48whoG3739 will justifyG1344 the 49circumcisedG4061 50by faithG4102 and the 51uncircumcisedG203 throughG1223 faithG4102 52is oneG1520.
31Do we thenG3767 nullifyG2673 53the LawG3551 throughG1223 faithG4102? 54FarG3361 fromG3361 it! On the contraryG235, we 55establishG2476 the LawG3551.
