¹ Therefore, what is the supremacy of the Jew? Or what is the profit of circumcision?

² Much, according-to every manner! For$ indeed, first, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

³ For$ what if some disbelieved? Their unbelief will not be doing-away-with the faithfulness of God, will it?

⁴ Let it not happen! Now, let God become {i.e., be} true$, but every man a liar, just-as it has been written, ‘$That you should be made righteous in your words and may overcome while$ you were being judged.’ {Psa 51:4}

⁵ But if our unrighteousness is establishing the righteousness of God, what will we say? The God who brings upon us the wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I speak according-to the manner of man.)

⁶ Let it not happen! Otherwise how will God judge the world?

⁷ For$ if the truth of God in my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still being judged like a sinner?

⁸ And just-as we are blasphemed and just-as some say us to speak: why not Let us do$ evil things in-order-that good things might come? Whose condemnation is just!

⁹ Therefore, what? Are we Jews special? Certainly not; for$ we accused beforehand, both Jews and Greeks to all be under sin;

¹⁰ just-as it has been written, ‘There is none righteous, not even one.

¹¹ There is none understanding. There is none seeking out God.

¹² They all shunned God at the same-time they were becoming-useless. There is none practicing kindness; there is none as far as even one.’ {Psa 14:1-3 & 53:1-3}

¹³ ‘Their throat has been an opened burial chamber; they were being treacherous with their tongues.’ {Psa 5:9} ‘The poison of the asps is under their lips.’ {Psa 140:3}

¹⁴ ‘Whose mouth is full of evil-cursing and bitterness.’ {Psa 10:7?}

¹⁵ ‘Their feet are swift to shed blood;

¹⁶ downfall and misery is in their ways;

¹⁷ and they did not know the way of peace.’ {Isa 59:7,8}

¹⁸ ‘There is no fear of God in front of their eyes.’ {Psa 36:1}

¹⁹ Now we know that as many things as the law says, it is speaking to the ones in the law; in-order-that every mouth may be sealed and all the world may become under a sentence to God;

²⁰ because every flesh will not be made righteous in his sight from the works of the law; for$ through the law comes the full knowledge of sin.

²¹ But now the righteousness of God has been manifested separate from the law, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²² even the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ toward all and upon all the ones believing; for$ there is no distinction;

²³ for$ all have sinned and come-short of the glory of God.

²⁴ All those who believe are freely made righteous in his grace, through the redemption, the one which is in Christ Jesus,

²⁵ whom God purposed as an atonement through the faith in his blood in an example of his righteousness, because of the passing-over of the sins which has happened beforehand

²⁶ (in the forbearance of God), even toward the example of his righteousness in the current time, $that$ he may himself be righteous and who is making righteous the one from the faith of Jesus.

²⁷ Therefore, where is the boasting? It was locked out. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith.

²⁸ Therefore, we are reasoning a man to be made righteous in faith separate from the works of the law.

²⁹ Or is God the God of Jews only and not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also.

³⁰ Since God is one, it is he who will be making righteous the circumcision out-of faith and the uncircumcision through the faith.

³¹ Therefore, do we do-away-with the law through the faith? Let it not happen! But through the faith, we are establishing the law.
