NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Romans 3

All the World Guilty

1

Theng3767 whatg5101  1advantageg4053 has the Jewg2453? Org2228 whatg5101 is the benefitg5622 of circumcisiong4061?

2

Greatg4183 in everyg3956 respectg5158. Firstg4413 of allg4413, that  athey were entrustedg4100 with the  boraclesg3051 of Godg2316.

3

Whatg5101 theng1063? Ifg1487  asomeg5100  1did not believeg569, their  2unbeliefg570 will not nullifyg2673 the faithfulnessg4102 of Godg2316, will it?

4

 aMay it neverg3361 be! Ratherg1161, let Godg2316 be foundg1096 trueg227, thoughg1161 everyg3956 mang444 be found  ba liarg5583, as it is writteng1125, " cTHAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIEDg1344 IN YOUR WORDSg3056, AND PREVAILg3528 WHENg1722 YOU  1ARE JUDGEDg2919."

5

But ifg1487 our unrighteousnessg93  1 ademonstratesg4921 the righteousnessg1343 of Godg2316,  bwhatg5101 shall we sayg3004? The Godg2316 who inflictsg2018 wrathg3709 is not unrighteousg94, is He? ( cI am speakingg3004 in humang444 termsg2596.)

6

 aMay it neverg3361 be! For otherwiseg1893, howg4459 will  bGodg2316 judgeg2919 the worldg2889?

7

But ifg1487 throughg1722 my lieg5582  athe truthg225 of Godg2316 aboundedg4052 to His gloryg1391,  bwhyg5101 am I alsog2532 stillg2089 being judgedg2919 as a sinnerg268?

8

And why not say (as we are slanderouslyg987 reportedg987 and as someg5100 claimg5346 that we sayg3004), " aLet us dog4160 evilg2556 that goodg18 may comeg2064"?  1Their condemnationg2917 is justg1738.

9

Whatg5101 theng3767?  1 aAre we betterg4284 than they? Not at allg3843; for we have alreadyg4256 chargedg4256 that bothg5037  bJewsg2453 and  cGreeksg1672 are  dallg3956 underg5259 sing266;

10

as it is writteng1125, " aTHERE IS NONEg3756 RIGHTEOUSg1342, NOT EVENg3761 ONEg1520;

11

THERE IS NONEg3756 WHO UNDERSTANDSg4920, THERE IS NONEg3756 WHO SEEKSg1567a FOR GODg2316;

12

ALLg3956 HAVE TURNEDg1578 ASIDEg1578, TOGETHERg260 THEY HAVE BECOMEg889 USELESSg889; THERE IS NONEg3756 WHO DOESg4160 GOODg5544, THERE IS NOT EVENg2193 ONEg1520."

13

aTHEIR THROATg2995 IS AN OPENg455 GRAVEg5028, WITH THEIR TONGUESg1100 THEY KEEP DECEIVINGg1387," " bTHE POISONg2447 OF ASPSg785 IS UNDERg5259 THEIR LIPSg5491";

14

aWHOSEg3739 MOUTHg4750 IS FULLg1073 OF CURSINGg685 AND BITTERNESSg4088";

15

aTHEIR FEETg4228 ARE SWIFTg3691 TO SHEDg1632a BLOODg129,

16

DESTRUCTIONg4938 AND MISERYg5004 ARE IN THEIR PATHSg3598,

17

AND THE PATHg3598 OF PEACEg1515 THEY HAVE NOT KNOWNg1097."

18

aTHERE IS NOg3756 FEARg5401 OF GODg2316 BEFOREg561 THEIR EYESg3788."

19

Nowg1161 we knowg3609a that whateverg3745 the  aLawg3551 saysg3004, it speaksg2980 to  bthoseg3588 who are  1underg1722 the Lawg3551, sog2443 that everyg3956 mouthg4750 may be closedg5420 and  callg3956 the worldg2889 may becomeg1096 accountableg5267 to Godg2316;

20

becauseg1360  aby the worksg2041  1of the Lawg3551 nog3756g3956 fleshg4561 will be justifiedg1344 in His sightg1799; for  2 bthroughg1223 the Lawg3551 comes the knowledgeg1922 of sing266.

Justification by Faith

21

But nowg3570 apartg5565  1from the Lawg3551  athe righteousnessg1343 of Godg2316 has been manifestedg5319, being  bwitnessedg3140 by the Lawg3551 and the Prophetsg4396,

22

eveng1161 the  arighteousnessg1343 of Godg2316 throughg1223  bfaithg4102  cin Jesusg2424 Christg5547 for  dallg3956 thoseg3588  1who believeg4100; for  ethere is nog3756 distinctiong1293;

23

for allg3956  1 ahave sinnedg264 and fallg5302 shortg5302 of the gloryg1391 of Godg2316,

24

being justifiedg1344 as a giftg1431  aby His graceg5485 throughg1223  bthe redemptiong629 which is in Christg5547 Jesusg2424;

25

whomg3739 Godg2316 displayedg4388 publiclyg4388 as  aa  1propitiationg2435  2 bin His bloodg129 throughg1223 faithg4102. This was to demonstrateg1731 His righteousnessg1343,  3becauseg1223 in the  cforbearanceg463 of Godg2316 He  dpassedg3929 overg3929 the sinsg265 previouslyg4266 committedg4266;

26

for the demonstrationg1732, I say, of His righteousnessg1343 at the presentg3568 timeg2540, sog1519 that He would be justg1342 and the justifierg1344 of the one who  1has faithg4102 in Jesusg2424.

27

Whereg4226 theng3767 is  aboastingg2746a? It is excludedg1576. By  bwhatg4169 kindg4169 of lawg3551? Of worksg2041? Nog3780, but by a lawg3551 of faithg4102.

28

 1For  awe maintaing3049 that a mang444 is justifiedg1344 by faithg4102 apartg5565 from worksg2041  2of the Lawg3551.

29

Org2228  ais Godg2316 the God of Jewsg2453 onlyg3440? Is He not the God of Gentilesg1484 alsog2532? Yesg3483a, of Gentilesg1484 alsog2532,

30

sinceg1512 indeedg1512  aGodg2316  bwhog3739 will justifyg1344 the  1circumcisedg4061  2by faithg4102 and the  3uncircumcisedg203 throughg1223 faithg4102  cis oneg1520.

31

Do we theng3767 nullifyg2673  1the Lawg3551 throughg1223 faithg4102?  aMay it neverg3361 be! On the contraryg235, we  bestablishg2476 the Lawg3551.
