Romans:3:1-8
rsv@Romans:3:1 @ Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
rsv@Romans:3:2 @ Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.
rsv@Romans:3:3 @ What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?
rsv@Romans:3:4 @ By no means! Let God be true though every man be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."
rsv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our wickedness serves to show the justice of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
rsv@Romans:3:6 @ By no means! For then how could God judge the world?
rsv@Romans:3:7 @ But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
rsv@Romans:3:8 @ And why not do evil that good may come?--as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
