3 What then is more to a Jew, or what profit of circumcision?
2 Much by all wise [Much by all manner]; first, for the speakings of God were betaken to them.
3 And what if some of them believed not? Whether the unbelief of them hath voided the faith of God?
4 God forbid [Far be it]. For God is soothfast [Forsooth God is true, or soothfast], but each man a liar; as it is written, That thou be justified in thy words, and overcome, when thou art deemed.
5 But if our wickedness [Forsooth if our wickedness, or unequity,] commend the rightwiseness of God, what shall we say? Whether God is wicked, that bringeth in wrath? After man I say.
6 God forbid [Far be it]. Else how shall God deem this world?
7 For if the truth of God hath abounded in my lying, into the glory of him, what [and] yet am I deemed as a sinner?
8 And not as we be blasphemed, and as some say that we say, Do we evil things, that good things come. Whose damnation is just.
9 What then? Surpass we them? Nay; for we have showed by skill, that all both Jews and Greeks be under sin,[a]
10 as it is written, For there is no man just [For there is not any man just];
