  <title>Romans 3:1-20 - Righteous By Faith</title>
  <description>Welcome to the Romans 3 Podcast! Mike and Kevin share their insights from the Book of Romans as they dive into Romans 3:1-20. 3&amp;amp;nbsp;What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?&amp;amp;nbsp;2&amp;amp;nbsp;Much in every way!&amp;amp;nbsp;First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. 3&amp;amp;nbsp;What if some were unfaithful?&amp;amp;nbsp;Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?&amp;amp;nbsp;4&amp;amp;nbsp;Not at all! Let God be true,&amp;amp;nbsp;and every human being a liar.&amp;amp;nbsp;As it is written:  “So that you may be proved right when you speak &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;and prevail when you judge.”  5&amp;amp;nbsp;But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,&amp;amp;nbsp;what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)&amp;amp;nbsp;6&amp;amp;nbsp;Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?&amp;amp;nbsp;7&amp;amp;nbsp;Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,&amp;amp;nbsp;why am I still condemned as a sinner?”&amp;amp;nbsp;8&amp;amp;nbsp;Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?&amp;amp;nbsp;Their condemnation is just! No One Is Righteous 9&amp;amp;nbsp;What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?&amp;amp;nbsp;Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.&amp;amp;nbsp;10&amp;amp;nbsp;As it is written:  “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;there is no one who understands; &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;there is no one who seeks God. 12&amp;amp;nbsp;All have turned away, &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;not even one.” 13&amp;amp;nbsp;“Their throats are open graves; &amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers is on their lips.” 14&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” 15&amp;amp;nbsp;“Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;ruin and misery mark their ways, 17&amp;amp;nbsp;and the way of peace they do not know.” 18&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”  19&amp;amp;nbsp;Now we know that whatever the law says,&amp;amp;nbsp;it says to those who are under the law,&amp;amp;nbsp;so that every mouth may be silenced&amp;amp;nbsp;and the whole world held accountable to God.&amp;amp;nbsp;20&amp;amp;nbsp;Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;&amp;amp;nbsp;rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
