Romans Three

Romans 3

1 - 8 God's Faithfulness (Paul Counters Jewish Objections)

Paul responds to Jewish objections, saying God is just in his condemnation

9 - 20 No One Is Righteous

Paul asserts that both Jews and Greeks are under the power of sin, supporting his assertion with a chain of Old Testament passages.

21 - 31 Righteousness through Faith

Since all of humanity is indicted there is only one solution: Christ, 25 "whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he passed over the sins previously committed; (26) it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus."
