What then the superiority of the Jew or what the advantage of circumcision? Much according to every manner: for truly first were they trusted with the oracles of God. For what if some disbelieved? their unbelief will not leave inactive the faith of God. read more.
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? And not, (as we are defamed, and some have declared us to say,) That we should do evil things, that good things might come: whose judgment is just. What advantage therefore have we? Not in any way: for we before accused both Jews and Greeks, all to be under sin. As has been written, That there is no just one, not one: There is none understanding, there is none seeking God. All have bent aside, together have they become unprofitable: there is none doing good, there is not even one. 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;

What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God. For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. read more.
And to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to favor, but according to debt. And to him not working, and believing upon him justifying the impious, his faith is reckoned for justice. As also David speaks the happiness of the man, to whom God reckons justice without works, Happy they whose iniquities were remitted, and whose sins were covered. 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. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which in uncircumcision: for him to be father of all believing through uncircumcision; for justice also to be reckoned to them: And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham. For not by the law, the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but by the justice of faith. For if they of the law, heirs, faith was made void, and the promise left inactive: For the law works wrath: for where is no law, no transgression. Therefore of faith, that according to grace; the promise to be firm to all the seed; not to that of the law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all,

And it was not written for him alone, that it was reckoned to him; But also for us, to whom it is about to be reckoned, to them believing upon him having raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered up for our faults, and raised up for our justification.


For as many of you as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither servant nor free, there is neither male and female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And John having answered said, Ruler, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we hindered him, because he follows not with us. And Jesus said, Hinder him not: for who is not against us is for us.

And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name, who follows not us: and we checked him, for he follows not us. And Jesus said, Check him not: for there is no one who shall do power in my name, and shall be able quickly to revile me. For whoever is not against us, is for us. read more.
For whoever should give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are of Christ, verily I say to you, he should not lose his reward.

If therefore God gave the like gift to them as also to us, having believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; how was I able to hinder God And having heard these, they were silent, and honoured God, saying, For also God gave the nations repentance to life.

And certain having come down from Judea taught the brethren, That except ye be circumcised by Moses custom, ye cannot be saved. Therefore dissension and no small discussion having been to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas to go up, and certain others of them, to the sent and elders in Jerusalem about this question. Truly therefore the sent by the church passed through Phenice and Samaria, relating the turning back of the nations: and they made great joy to all the brethren. read more.
And having arrived at Jerusalem they were received by the church, and the sent and elders, and they announced what God did with them. And certain of them from the sect of the Pharisees having believed, rose up, saying, That they must be circumcised, and to enjoin to keep the law of Moses. And the sent and elders were gathered together to see about this word. And much discussion having been, Peter having risen up, said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that from ancient days God chose among us, through my month for the nations to hear the word of good news, and believe. And God the knower of hearts testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, as also us; And separated nothing between us and also them, by faith having purified their hearts. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But by grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we believe to be saved, as also they. And all the multitude were silent, and heard Barnabas and Paul, recounting what signs and wonders God did in the nations through them. And after they were silent, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hear me: Simeon related how God first reviewed to take from the nations a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree: as has been written, After these will I return, and rebuild the tent of David, having fallen; and its things undermined will I rebuild, and set it upright: So that they remaining of men might seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, making all these. Known to God are all his works from eternity. Wherefore I judge, not to molest them, from the nations turning back to God: But to send to them, to keep off from pollutions of images, and harlotry, and strangulation, and blood. For Moses of ancient generations has them proclaiming him in every city, being read in the synagogues in every sabbath. Then it seemed fitting to the sent and the elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren: Having written by their hand thus; The sent and elders and brethren to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia from the nations, health: Since we heard that certain of us having come out have troubled you with words, destroying your souls, saying, To be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we sent no word: It seemed fitting to us, having been unanimous, to send to you chosen men with our dearly beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men having delivered up their souls for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore have we sent Judas and Silas, and these by the word announcing these things. For it seemed fitting to the Holy Spirit, and to us, for no more burden to be put upon you but the necessities of these; To keep off from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and strangulation, and harlotry: from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. Truly therefore having been loosed, they came to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they gave up the epistle: And having read, they rejoiced for the encouraging

Paul, servant of Jesus Christ, called sent, separated to the good news of God, (Which he before promised by his prophets in the holy writings,) Concerning his Son born of the seed of David according to the flesh. read more.
Determined the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the rising up of the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord: By whom we received grace and sending forth, to the obedience of faith in all nations for his name: In whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ: To all being in Rome, beloved of God, called holy: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Both to Greeks, and foreigners; both to wise and unwise, I am debtor. So that for my part being zealous, also to you that in Rome, to announce the good news. For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to all believing; both to the Jew first, and the Greek.

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: read more.
For all have sinned, and failed of the glory of God; Being justified as a gift by his grace by the redemption which is in Christ Jesus: Whom God had set before a propitiatory by faith in his blood, for a manifestation of his justice by passing over of sins before existing, in the sufferance of God; For the manifestation of his justice now in time: for him to be just, and justifying him of the faith of Jesus. Where then boasting? It was excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. We reckon then man to be justified by faith without the works of the law. Or only the God of the Jews? and not also of the nations? Yes, also of the nations: Since one God, who will justify circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. Therefore shall we leave the law inactive by faith It may not be: but we should establish the law.

Justified therefore of faith we have peace with God by our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast upon hope of the glory of God.

For he is our peace, having made both one, and having loosed the middle partition wall of the enclosure; The enmity in his flesh, the law of commands in enactments, having left unemployed; that he might create in himself one new man, making peace; And that he might reconcile anew both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the eninity in it: read more.
And having come, he announced good news, peace to you afar off, and to those near.

Put on therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassions, kindnesses, humility, meekness, longsuffering; (Bearing one another, propitiating one another, if any have a complaint against any: as also Christ propitiated for you, so also ye.) read more.
And over all these, love, which is the bond of completion. And let the peace of God act as umpire in your hearts, to which also, ye were called in one body: and be grateful.
