Romans 3:1-8

21st Century King James Version

3 What advantage then hath the Jew? Or what profit is there in circumcision?

² Much in every way; chiefly because unto them were committed the oracles of God.

³ For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

⁴ God forbid! Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar. As it is written: “That Thou mightest be justified in Thy sayings, and mightest overcome when Thou art judged.”

⁵ But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man.)

⁶ God forbid! For then how shall God judge the world?

⁷ For if the truth of God through my lie hath abounded more unto His glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?

⁸ And why not say rather (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let us do evil, that good may come”? Their damnation is just!
