16 in the day in which God will judge the secret [fn] of men, as my gospel [fn] , by Jesus the Messiah.

But if thou, who art called a Jew, and reposest thyself on the law, and gloriest in God,

And thou who gloriest in the law, dost thou, by acting contrary to the law, insult God himself?

For, the name of God, as it is written, is reviled among the Gentiles on your account.

But he is a Jew, who is so in what is hidden: and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not from men, but from God.

Much, every way. And first, because to them were intrusted the oracles of God.

For if some of them have not believed, have they, by their not believing, made the faith of God inefficient?

Far be it: for God is veracious, and every man false: as it is written: That thou mightest be upright, in thy declarations; and be found pure, when they judge thee.

But if our iniquity establish the rectitude of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, when he inflicteth wrath? (I speak as a man.)

Far from it. Otherwise how will God judge the world?

But if the truth of God hath been furthered by my falsehood, to his glory; why am I then condemned as a sinner?

and none that understandeth; nor that seeketh after God.

and the fear of God is not before their eyes.

Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God.

But now, the righteousness of God without the law, is manifested; and the law and the prophets testify of it:

even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Messiah, for every one, and on every one, that believeth in him: for there is no distinction;

for they have all sinned, and failed of the glory of God.

whom God hath preconstituted a propitiation, by faith in his blood, because of our sins, which we before committed,

in the space which God in his long suffering gave to us, for the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time; that he might be righteous, and might with righteousness justify him who is in the faith of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

For, is he the God of the Jews only, and not of the Gentiles? Nay: of the Gentiles also.
