Romans 3:3

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?

7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

Romans 3:3 What if some did not believe? In this verse the Jew raises a second objection. God has made a promise to Abraham to be a God to him and to his seed in all generations (Genesis 17:7). "Shall God's faithfulness be made of none effect, his promise be broken, because a great part of Israel does not believe upon the promised Seed of Abraham, who was to bless all nations"?
