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

none that understandeth

the poison

Deuteronomy 32:33 Job 20:14-16 Psalms 140:3

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Psalms 10:7 59:12 109:17,18 James 3:10

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Proverbs 1:16 6:18 Isaiah 59:7,8

And the way of peace have they not known:

5:1 Isaiah 57:21 59:8 Matthew 7:14 Luke 1:79

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Genesis 20:11 Psalms 36:1 Proverbs 8:13 16:6 23:17 Luke 23:40 Revelation 19:5

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 may become guilty before God.

what things

that

and all the

9,23 2:1,2 Galatians 3:10,22

guilty before God

or, subject to the judgment of God.

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.

Therefore

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

righteousness

being

and the

1:2 16:26 Acts 3:21-25 10:43 28:23 Galatians 3:8 1 Peter 1:10

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:

which is

4:3-13,20-22 5:1-11 8:1 Philippians 3:9

unto all

4:6,11,22 Galatians 2:16 3:6 James 2:23

and upon

for there

2:1 10:12 Acts 15:9 1 Corinthians 4:7 Galatians 3:28 Colossians 3:11

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

all have

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Whom God hath 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 God;

set forth

or, foreordained.

Acts 2:23 3:18 4:28 15:18 1 Peter 1:18-20 Revelation 13:8

to be

Exodus 25:17-22 Leviticus 16:15 Hebrews 9:5 *Gr:; 1 John 2:2 4:10

through

5:1,9,11 Isaiah 53:11 John 6:47,53-58 Colossians 1:20-23 Hebrews 10:19,20

to declare

remission

or, passing over.

23,24 4:1-8 Acts 13:38,39 17:30 1 Timothy 1:15 Hebrews 9:15-22,25,26 10:4 Hebrews 11:7,14,17,39,40 Revelation 5:9 13:8 20:15

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

that he

and

30 4:5 8:33 Galatians 3:8-14

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

Where

19 2:17,23 4:2 Ezekiel 16:62,63 36:31,32 Zephaniah 3:11 Luke 18:9-14 1 Corinthians 1:29-31 4:7 Ephesians 2:8-10

of works

9:11,32 10:5 11:6 Galatians 2:16

but by

7:21,23,25 8:2 Mark 16:16 John 3:36 Galatians 3:22 1 John 5:11,12

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

20-22,26 4:5 5:1 8:3 John 3:14-18 5:24 6:40 Acts 13:38,39 1 Corinthians 6:11 Galatians 2:16 3:8,11-14,24 Philippians 3:9 Titus 3:7

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

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

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

do we
