It may not be: and let God be true, and every man a liar; as has been written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, and mightest conquer in thy being judged. And if our injustice shall recommend the justice of God, what shall we say God not unjust bringing in anger? (I speak as man) It may not be: for how shall God judge the world For if the truth of God in my lying abounded to his glory; why yet am I judged as sinful?

Their throat an opened tomb; with their tongues have they used deceit; the poison of asps under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and harshness: Their feet active to pour out blood: Bruising and grievous toil in their ways: And the way of peace they knew not: The fear of God is not before their eyes. And we know that whatever says the law, it speaks to them in the law: that every mouth be shut, and all the world be culpable to God. Therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before him: for by the law the knowledge of sin. But now without law the justice of God has been made apparent, being testified by the law and by the prophets; And the justice of God by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all believing: for there is no distinction: For all have sinned, and failed of the glory of God;

A happy man to whom the Lord should not reckon sin. This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice. How then was it reckoned? to him being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
