Romans 3 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

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

2Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

3For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?

Ps. 51:4.

That thou mightest be justified in thy words,

There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.
