vw - Romans:3-4

vw@Romans:3:1 @ What, then, is the superiority of the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

vw@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way: chiefly because they were entrusted with the Words of God.

vw@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

vw@Romans:3:4 @ Let it not be! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: That You may be found just in Your words, and may win the case when You are judged.

vw@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who lays on wrath? (I speak as a man.)

vw@Romans:3:6 @ Let it not be! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?

vw@Romans:3:7 @ For if in my lie, the truth of God has abounded to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

vw@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil that good may come? Their condemnation is just.

vw@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Do we surpass them? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

vw@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one;

vw@Romans:3:11 @ there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God.

vw@Romans:3:12 @ They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one.

vw@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

vw@Romans:3:14 @ whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

vw@Romans:3:15 @ Their feet are swift to shed blood;

vw@Romans:3:16 @ destruction and misery are in their ways;

vw@Romans:3:17 @ and the way of peace they have not known.

vw@Romans:3:18 @ There is no fear of God before their eyes.

vw@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know that whatever the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

vw@Romans:3:20 @ Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law is the full true knowledge of sin.

vw@Romans:3:21 @ But now the righteousness of God apart from the Law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets,

vw@Romans:3:22 @ even the righteousness of God, through the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all who believe. For there is no difference;

vw@Romans:3:23 @ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

vw@Romans:3:24 @ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

vw@Romans:3:25 @ whom God set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to give evidence of His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

vw@Romans:3:26 @ to prove at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who is of the faith of Jesus.

vw@Romans:3:27 @ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith.

vw@Romans:3:28 @ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the Law.

vw@Romans:3:29 @ Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,

vw@Romans:3:30 @ since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

vw@Romans:3:31 @ Do we then annul the Law through faith? Let it not be! No rather, we establish the Law.

vw@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

vw@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

vw@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

vw@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him who works, the wages are not counted according to grace but according to debt.

vw@Romans:4:5 @ But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted unto righteousness,

vw@Romans:4:6 @ just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God accounts righteousness apart from works:

vw@Romans:4:7 @ Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

vw@Romans:4:8 @ blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not account sin.

vw@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

vw@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it accounted? While he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

vw@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

vw@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while still uncircumcised.

vw@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

vw@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise has been annulled,

vw@Romans:4:15 @ because the Law brings about wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

vw@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

vw@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations) in the presence of Him whom he believed; God, who makes the dead alive and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

vw@Romans:4:18 @ who, against hope, believed in hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, So shall your seed be.

vw@Romans:4:19 @ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarahs womb;

vw@Romans:4:20 @ he did not hesitate at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

vw@Romans:4:21 @ and being fully assured that what He had promised He is also able to perform.

vw@Romans:4:22 @ And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

vw@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was accounted to him,

vw@Romans:4:24 @ but also for us, to whom it shall be accounted, believing in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

vw@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up because of our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

vw@Romans:5:1 @ Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
