Romans 3:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 3:2

God’s Judgment Defended

1 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

2 Much in every way! Chiefly because ^ato them were committed the oracles of God.

3 For what if ^asome did not believe? ^bWill their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

4 ^aCertainly not! Indeed, let ^bGod be true but ^cevery man a liar. As it is written:
^d“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”

5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? ^a(I speak as a man.)

6 Certainly not! For then ^ahow will God judge the world?
