ROMANS 3:9-31
3:9 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;
3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; 
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used 
deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
3:19 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.
3:20 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.
3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being 
witnessed by the law and the prophets;
3:22 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:
3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in 
Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, 
to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through 
the forbearance of God;
3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, 
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by 
the law of faith.
3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds 
of the law.
3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of 
the Gentiles also:
3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and 
uncircumcision through faith.
3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish 
the law.
