3:1  What then is the advantage of the Jew? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
3:2  Much in every way. For first— that they were entrusted the oracles of God!
3:3  What indeed if some were faithless? Their faithlessness will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?
3:4  May it never be! But let God be [seen to be] true and every person a liar, just as it has been written [in Ps 51:4]: “So that You might be declared-righteous in Your words and prevail in Your being judged”.
3:5  But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God, the One inflicting the wrath, is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in accordance with human thinking).
3:6  May it never be! Otherwise how will God judge the world?
3:7  But if the truth of God abounded in my lie to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?
3:8  Indeed, why not say “Let us do evil things that good things may come”, as we are blasphemed, and as some affirm us to say— whose condemnation is just!
3:9  Therefore what? Are we better [than they]? Not at-all. For we already-charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,
3:10  just as it has been written: “There is not a righteous one, not even one.
3:11  There is no one understanding. There is no one seeking-out God.
3:12  They all turned-away, together they became useless. There is no one doing goodness. There is not as-many-as one” [Ps 14:1-3].
3:13  “Their throat is an opened grave. With their tongues they were deceiving” [Ps 5:9]. “The poison of asps is under their lips” [Ps 140:3].
3:14  “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness” [Ps 10:7].
3:15  “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16  Destruction and misery are in their ways.
3:17  And they did not know the way of peace” [Isa 59:7-8].
3:18  “There is no fear of God before their eyes” [Ps 36:1].
3:19  And we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to the ones under the Law— in order that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world may become accountable to God.
3:20  Because by the works of law no flesh will be declared-righteous in His sight. For through law comes the knowledge of sin.
3:21  But now apart from law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being attested by the Law and the Prophets.
3:22  And it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all the ones believing! For there is no distinction,
3:23  for all sinned and are coming-short-of the glory of God,
3:24  being declared-righteous as-a-gift by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus,
3:25  Whom God set-forth as that-which-satisfies [His wrath] through faith, in His blood— for the demonstration of His righteousness because of the passing-by of the sins having previously-taken-place
3:26  in the forbearance of God; for the demonstration of His righteousness at the present time, so that He might be righteous and declaring-righteous the one of  faith in Jesus.
3:27  Where then is the boasting? It was shut-out. Through what kind of law? Of works? No, but through a law of faith.
3:28  For we consider a person to be declared-righteous by faith apart from works of the Law.
3:29  Or is He the God of Jews only? Is He not also the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also,
3:30  since there is one God— Who will declare-righteous the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through the same faith.
3:31  Do we then nullify the Law through the faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
