Romans_Chapter 3

So, what are the strengths of Jews? What are the benefits of circumcision?

Everything has great benefits. The first is the divine word entrusted to them.

Even if there are those who don’t believe it, what’s the point? Do their unbelief invalidate God’s faith?

It’s almost impossible. It’s better to say that God is real, and people are all lies. As it is written in the scripture, when you rebuke someone, you are shown righteousness. When being discussed, one can win.

And according to the common saying of men, what can we say if our unrighteousness reveals the righteousness of God? Is God’s wrath his unrighteousness?

Definitely not. If that’s the case, how can God judge the world?

If the truth of God is even more revealed in my lies, why am I still judged like a sinner?

Why not say that we can do evil to become good? This is someone who slanders us, saying that we have these words. It is appropriate for these people to be convicted.

But what about this? Are we stronger than them? By no means. Because we have proven that both Jews and Greeks are under sin.

As it is written, there is no righteous person, not even one.

Without understanding, without seeking God.

They all deviate from the right path and become useless together. There is no one who does good, not even one.

Their throats are open graves. They use their tongues to deceive. There is venom from cobras in the lips.

Mouth full of curses and bitterness.

Killing and bleeding, their feet galloping.

The road they passed through was a cruel and brutal act.

The path of peace is unknown to them.

They are not afraid of God in their eyes.

We know that the words of the law are spoken to those who are under the law, so that everyone’s mouth may be shut and all the world may fall under God’s judgment.

So no one with blood can be justified before God by practicing the law. Because the law is meant to incriminate people.

But now the righteousness of God has been revealed beyond the law, as evidenced by the law and prophets.

It is the righteousness of God, added to all who believe in Jesus Christ without distinction.

For all mankind have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

But now he is justified for nothing by the grace of God, through the redemption of Christ Jesus.

God established Jesus as a sacrifice for redemption, through the blood of Jesus and through human faith, to reveal the righteousness of God. Because with a patient heart, he tolerates the sins that people have committed earlier.

Fortunately, his righteousness is now revealed, so that people may know that he is righteous, and that those who believe in Jesus are also righteous.

Since that’s the case, where can we boast? There is nothing to praise. How can it be done without it? Is it using the method of meritorious service? No, it’s using the method of believing in the Lord.

Therefore, we have determined that the person is righteous through faith and does not care about following the law.

Is God only the God of the Jews? Isn’t he also a god of the Gentiles? Yes, also a god of the Gentiles.

Since God is one, he shall justify the circumcision through faith, and also the uncircumcised through faith.

Do we therefore abolish the law by faith? Absolutely not, it is the strengthening of the law.
