Romans 3

Chapter 3 Review Chapter 1 1:5 ... obedience to the faith among all nations... 1:16 ...the gospel of Christ... 17 ...just shall live by faith. 1:18 ... the wrath of God ... against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men... 1:21 ... vain I... imaginations... foolish hearts 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served their institutions 1:28 ...God gave them over to a reprobate mind, 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, [followed buy a long list26] 1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent[unrepented] heart...wrath... 6 [God]Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 8 ... contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil 29 ... one inwardly; ... circumcision ... of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter;

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

2 Much every way:27 chiefly[first], because that unto them were committed[believe 239, commit unto 4] the oracles of God.

3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make28 the faith 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 [to place together, to set in the same place] 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 [constitution, order, government ]?

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

8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,)Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

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

12 They are all gone out of the way,29 they are together become unprofitable[make useless]; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Justification:

The Gift of Grace and Forgiveness through Faith (3:21-5:11)

Condemnation:

The Universal corruption of Gentiles and Jews (1-18-3:20)

19 ¶ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world[constitution, order, government ] may become guilty before God.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Who being justified? them that believe: Who believes?

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation30 through faith31 in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. The question remains who is a believer in Jesus Christ? Jesus the King. Not the Pharisees. Not those who do not do what he says. Who is a believer? Not those in verse 14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:” “Their feet are swift to shed blood:”

Proverbs 1:16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Proverbs 1:10 ¶ -28 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity[ distress, burden, calamity]; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Not those “Destruction and misery[hardship, trouble, calamity, misery ] are in their ways:

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Who is a believer? Not those “And the way of peace have they not known:

Matthew 7:23-26 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings [logos=word]of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Matthew 7:20-22 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. Rich and poor or versed in words but not in works

2 Thessalonians 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 3:11 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Who is a believer? Not those “There is no fear of God before their eyes. James 2:14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

1 Peter 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:

Shall we boast of our faith as the Jew boasted of his law? Shall we boast of our faith in Christ as the Pharisees boasted of Abraham and Moses?

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. In our hearts and in our minds and in the deeds that come forth out of our inner parts for the kingdom of God is with in us and manifest in our works.
