Give us grace to love you with all our hearts today.
25For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law,
more
but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law,
won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27Won’t the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfils the law, judge you,
who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28For he is not a Jew who…Give us grace to be true to what you have revealed of yourself to us
3:1Then what advantage does the Jew have?
more
Or what is the profit of circumcision?
2Much in every way!
Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
3For what if some were without faith?
Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
4May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written,
“that you might be justified in your words,
…Give us grace to avoid taking your goodness for granted.
3:5But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say?
more
Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
6May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
7For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory,
why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say),
“Let’s do evil, that good may come…Give us grace to seek after you, to fear you and to know the way of peace today
3:9What then? Are we better than they?
more
No, in no way.
For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10As it is written,
“There is no one righteous; no, not one.
11There is no one who understands.
There is no one who seeks after God.
12They have all turned away.
They have together become unprofitable.
There is no…Give us the grace of Jesus Christ to be faithful today
3:19Now we know that whatever things the law says,
more
it speaks to those who are under the law,
that every mouth may be closed,
and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
20Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight;
for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
3:21But now apart from the law,
a righteousness of God has been revealed,
being testified by the…21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction, 23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of…

27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded.
more
By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faithfulness.
28We maintain therefore that a man is made righteous by faithfulness apart from the works of the law.
29Or is God the God of Jews only?
Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
30since indeed there is one God who will make righteous the circumcised by faithfulness,
and the uncircumcised through…Give us grace to trust in you today
1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
more
2For if Abraham was made righteous out of works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3For what does the Scripture say?
“Abraham Trusted in God, and it was accounted to him towards righteousness.”
4Now to him who works, the reward is not counted according to gift, but according to debt.
5…Give us grace to be forgiven and forgiving people today,
being willing not to hold past sins against others
(and give us grace to know when and how to confront ongoing sins in ourselves and others)6Even as David speaks the blessedness of the man

whose sins are covered.

9Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also?
more
For we are saying that faith was accounted to Abraham towards righteousness.
10In what way then was it accounted?
When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision?
Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11He…Give us grace to affirm the faithfulness of others today, being thankful that Abraham’s family of faith is wide.
12He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision,

but who also walk in the steps of the faith in uncircumsion of our father Abraham
13For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring
that he should be heir of the world wasn’t through the law,
but through the righteousness of faithfulness.

This is in the presence of him whom he believed:
God, who gives life to the dead,
and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18Besides hope, Abraham in hope trusted,
to the end that he might become a father of many nations,
according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
