3:1  What, then, is the advantage of the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?
3:2  Much in every way! Firstly, because indeed the oracles of God were entrusted to them.
3:3  For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
3:4  Absolutely not! Indeed, let God be true, and every man a liar! As it is written, “That you might be justified in your words, and overcome when you are judged.”
3:5  Now, if our unrighteousness exhibits the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous in punishing? (I speak as a man.)
3:6  Absolutely not! (or else how shall God judge the world?)
3:7  For if the truth of God has abounded more through my lie, unto His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
3:8  Rather, why not say (as we are slanderously accused of saying, and as some affirm that we say) “Let us do evil, that good may come?” Their damnation is just.
3:9  What then? Are we more excellent? No, in no way! For we have already proved that all, both Jews and Gentiles, are under sin.
3:10  As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
3:11  “There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks God.
3:12  “They have all turned away. They have all been made useless. There is no one that does good; no, not one.
3:13  “Their throat is an open grave. They use their tongues to deceive. The poison of asps is under their lips;
3:14  “whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
3:15  “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16  “Destruction and misery are in their path;
3:17  “and the way of peace they have not known.
3:18  “The fear of God is not before their eyes.”
3:19  Now, we know that whatever the Law says, it says it to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be subject to the judgment of God.
3:20  Therefore, no flesh shall be justified in His sight by the works of the Law. For by the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
3:21  But now, the righteousness of God has been made manifest without the Law, having been witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;
3:22  that is, the righteousness of God by the faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all who believe. For there is no difference.
3:23  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
3:24  and are justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
3:25  Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation, (through faith in His blood) to declare His righteousness, by the forgiveness of previous sins through God’s forbearance;
3:26  to show His righteousness at this present time, that He might be just, and a justifier of the one who believes in Jesus.
3:27  Where, then, is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the Law of faith.
3:28  Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified by faith, apart from the works of the Law.
3:29  Or is He the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Yes, even of the Gentiles also.
3:30  For indeed it is one God Who shall justify circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
3:31  Do we then make the Law of no effect through faith? Absolutely not! Rather, we establish the Law.
