WHAT advantage then has the Yahudiy? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the words of Elohiym.
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of Elohiym without effect?
Never: yea, let Elohiym be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of Elohiym, what shall we say? Is Elohiym unrighteous who takes vengeance? (I speak as a man)
Never: for then how shall Elohiym judge the world?
For if the Truth of Elohiym has more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
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.
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Yahudiym and the other nations, that they are all under sin;
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after Elohiym.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is of their lips:
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
And the way of peace have they not known:
There is no fear of Elohiym before their eyes.
Do we not know that whatsoever the Law says in the Torah it speaks in order that all mouths are stopped, and condemns? It does so in all the world by Elohiym.
Therefore by the works of the Law, no flesh is justified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of Elohiym without the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Torah and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of Elohiym which is by faith in Yahusha Ha'Mashiach unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of Elohiym;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Mashiach Yahusha:
Whom Elohiym has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yah;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which is in the faith of Yahusha Ha'Mashiach.
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.
Is he the Elohiym of the Yahudiym only? is he not also of the other nations? Yes, of the other nations also:
Seeing it is one Elohiym, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Do we then make void the Torah by faith? Never: yea, we establish the Torah.
