Romans 3:1 What advantage then has the Judean? or what profit is there of of circumcision?

Romans 3:2 Much every way; chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

And the dedicated ones took this responsibility most seriously.*).

Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

2Timothy 2:13.

Romans 3:4 God forbid. Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.(God makes no mistakes). As it is written.(written in Psalms 51:4), That you might be justified in your sayings and might overcome when you are judged.

"let God be true, but every man a liar".means to lean always toward God, as Job and Jeremiah learned:.Job 30:29,21,26. Those whose hearts are for God avoid having a lying nature.
   Barnes Notes: It implies that every opinion which others hold (Proverbs 14:12) and every doctrine which may have been defended, should be at once abandoned if it implied that God was false:.1Timothy 5:22 "...keep yourself pure."
   Barnes Notes:."and might overcome". In the Hebrew, it's."might be pure".

The last sentence in this verse is saying, since God is true so should we be, so that others see you are an individual who keeps his word and is not a hypocritical.liar:.John 18:20.

Life is all about correction through learning.to.be good.amongst a corrupt society.

Romans 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend.(shows forth to).the righteousness of God.(that is, we learned something about our relationship with God), what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who takes.(original for word 'takes' is 'brings', 'allows' and how does God allow or bring this?).vengeance? I speak as a man.

Barnes Notes: If they didn't believe (verse 3 above), God was true to his promises anyhow. Notwithstanding their unbelief, God's character was the same:.Hebrews 13:8. God's glory (that is, the goodness of God) resulted from their unbelief, what goodness?).

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise, for we have before proved both Judeans and Gentiles, that they are all under sin.

And therefor all of us needed redemption.

Romans 3:10 As it is written.(in the Old Testament in Psalms 14:1-3 and 53:1-3), There is none righteous, no, not one.

This verse and the ones below are talking about the ordinary consciousness of humanity, but in the high consciousness of the Creator, it's a different story.

Psalms 10:4,5.

Romans 3:11,12 There is none that comprehends. There is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way. They are together become unprofitable. There is none that does good, no, not one.

Psalms 14:1-3 "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy. There is none that does good, no, not one."
Psalms 53:1-3 "To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they and have done abominable iniquity. There is none that does good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any that could comprehend enough to seek God. Every one of them is gone back. They are altogether become filthy. There is none that does good, no, not one."
Ecclesiastes 7:20 "Just men upon Earth do good and sin not."
3John 1:11 "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God, but he that does evil has not seen God."

Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre. With their tongues they have used deceit.(the key to recognizing who such people are). The poison of asps is under their lips.

Matthew 7:16-20.

Romans 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

Romans 3:15,16 Their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and misery are in their ways.

Romans 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known.

Why have they not known peace and why have they known wars?.Jeremiah 4:22.

Romans 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law says, it says to them who are under the law.(who are the 'them' and what law were they under?), that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God.

Why was all the world to be made guilty in God's eyes?.Romans 5:12-21.

Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Sin requires knowledge of what wrong to do, so what are those things wrong not to do that are not of the way of love? Even though sin no longer counts, much of religion has kept people in fear of it. A control mechanism initiated by the cabal, that Christ came to free humanity from.

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Emmanuel the Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.(Romans 8:4). For there is no difference.

Notice that what the true righteous Creator wants for us comes by faith.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23.

Romans 3:24 Being.justified.freely.(original also adds 'a gift' {one of many}; why.already.justified?.2Timothy 1:9).by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ.Emmanuel.

Note, redemption is in Him, not in one's own works of being a goody-goody self-righteous individual.

Justified freely without having some emotional experience of repentence.(Hebrews 6:1), that is, once one decides to be on the path of a higher consciousness, he is then ok and in the realm of God, the realm of love, aligned with God.

Luke 6:25 "Woe unto you that are full.(full of the s~^t of what they have deemed important in their selfish lives), for you shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now for you shall mourn and weep."

Romans 3:25 Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood.(what He accomplished for all through fulfilling the purpose He came to Earth for in the first place), to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past.(why just the past?), through the forbearance of God;

God waited with you while you grew spiritually enough to be in the family, just as you wait for your children to become mature.

Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness. That he.(God).is just because he justifies those who believe in Emmanuel.(that it, Christ came to save those from where their lives would have ended up if he hadn't:.1Timothy 1:15).

John 3:16,17; 2Corinthians 3:17.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by the law of faith.

Faith is a law, that is, it always works, but it's not your faith, it's God's faith and that as a gift to you:.Ephesians 2:8; so, the gift from God is a law that always works good for you and it's a gift from God for all; and it was given before humanity was on the Earth (2Timothy 1:9), but humanity as a whole, didn't want anything to do with God and His gifts:.Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Romans 3:29 Is he the God of the Judeans only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.

Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision.(the ancient Israelites were required to be circumcised).by faith and the uncircumcision.(refers to the Gentiles).through faith.

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid, instead we establish the law.

The intent of any law of God is always to lift man up higher, because God is love, not that God has love, God IS love. Without God there would not be love:.1John 4:8,16. The Mosaic Law of the Old Testament could have raised them up higher in consciousness, but the people had no heart for it. Faith is of the heart:.Deuteronomy 5:29; Jeremiah 44:16,17.

The verse is showing that those who lived before Christ's time, especially Abraham, were in fact justified, not by obedience to the ritual law of Moses, the Mosaic Law, but by faith in the promises of God:.Galatians 3:1-18.
