45:002:027 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 45:002:028 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 45:002:029 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. 45:003:001 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 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;
