Romans 3:1

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?

What advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision?

Romans 3:2

Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.

Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them.

Romans 3:3

For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?

For what if some of them have not believed? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.

And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

Romans 3:4

God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.

In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

Romans 3:5

But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)

But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?

But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

Romans 3:6

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

(I speak according to man.) God forbid: otherwise how shall God judge this world?

In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world?

Romans 3:7

But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

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

But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner?

Romans 3:8

and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just.

Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

Romans 3:9

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews, and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

Romans 3:10

as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;

As it is written: There is not any man just.

As it is said in the holy Writings, There is not one who does righteousness;

Romans 3:11

There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher after God;

Romans 3:12

They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:

All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.

They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them; there is not one who does good, not so much as one:

Romans 3:13

Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.

Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:

Romans 3:14

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:

Romans 3:15

Their feet are swift to shed blood;

Their feet swift to shed blood:

Their feet are quick in running after blood;

Romans 3:16

Destruction and misery are in their ways;

Destruction and misery in their ways:

Destruction and trouble are in their ways;

Romans 3:17

And the way of peace have they not known:

And the way of peace they have not known:

And of the way of peace they have no knowledge:

Romans 3:18

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Romans 3:19

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:

Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

Romans 3:20

because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin.

Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Romans 3:21

But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

Romans 3:22

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

Romans 3:23

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.

For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

Romans 3:24

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,

And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 3:25

whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,

Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

Romans 3:26

for the showing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.

Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:27

Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.

Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Romans 3:28

We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.

For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

Romans 3:29

Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:

Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.

Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

Romans 3:30

if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

Romans 3:31

Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.

Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.

Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.
