45:003:002 Much every way: chiefly, because that
unto them were committed
the
oracles of God.
45:003:003 For what if some did not believe? shall
their unbelief make
the
faith of God without effect?
45:003:004 God forbid: yea, let God be true,
but every man a liar; as it
is
written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings,
and
mightest overcome when thou art judged.
45:003:005 But if our unrighteousness commend the
righteousness of God,
what
shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
(I
speak
as a man)
45:003:006 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
45:003:007 For if the truth of God hath more abounded
through my lie unto
his
glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
45:003:008 And not rather, (as we be slanderously
reported, and as some
affirm
that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose
damnation
is just.
45:003:009 What then? are we better than they?
No, in no wise: for we
have
before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are
all
under
sin;
45:003:010 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
45:003:011 There is none that understandeth, there
is none that seeketh
after
God.
45:003:012 They are all gone out of the way, they
are together become
unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
45:003:013 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with
their tongues they
have
used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
45:003:014 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
45:003:015 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
45:003:016 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
45:003:017 And the way of peace have they not known:
45:003:018 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
45:003:019 Now we know that what things soever the
law saith, it saith to
them
who are under the law: that every mouth may be
stopped,
and
all the world may become guilty before God.
45:003:020 Therefore by the deeds of the law there
shall no flesh be
justified
in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge
of
sin.
45:003:021 But now the righteousness of God without
the law is
manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
45:003:022 Even the righteousness of God which is
by faith of Jesus
Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe: for there
is
no
difference:
45:003:023 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
45:003:024 Being justified freely by his grace through
the redemption
that
is in Christ Jesus:
