  1. Exodus 24:3 Or all the just decrees

For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. (For every house is built by someone, but (A)the builder of all things is God.) (B)Now Moses was faithful in all God's house (C)as a servant, (D)to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

10 as it is written:

(A)“None is righteous, no, not one;
11     no one understands;
    no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
    no one does good,
    not even one.”
13 (B)“Their throat is (C)an open grave;
    they use their tongues to deceive.”
(D)“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14     (E)“Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 (F)“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16     in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and (G)the way of peace they have not known.”
18     (H)“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever (I)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, (J)so that every mouth may be stopped, and (K)the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For (L)by works of the law no human being[a] will be justified in his sight, since (M)through the law comes knowledge of sin.

The Righteousness of God Through Faith

21 But now (N)the righteousness of God (O)has been manifested apart from the law, although (P)the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God (Q)through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

  1. Romans 3:20 Greek flesh

17 But if you call yourself a Jew and (A)rely on the law and boast in God 18 and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; 19 and if you are sure that you yourself are (B)a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law (C)the embodiment of (D)knowledge and truth— 21 (E)you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you (F)rob temples? 23 You who (G)boast in the law (H)dishonor God by breaking the law. 24 For, (I)as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed (J)among the Gentiles because of you.”

25 For circumcision indeed is of value (K)if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 So, if (L)a man who is uncircumcised keeps (M)the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded[a] as circumcision? 27 Then he who is physically[b] uncircumcised but keeps the law (N)will condemn you who have (O)the written code[c] and circumcision but break the law. 28 For (P)no one is a Jew (Q)who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one (R)inwardly, and (S)circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. (T)His praise is not from man but from God.
