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?

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.

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;

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,
