Book of Romans Study: Romans 3:1-20


This video is a discussion of Romans 3:1-20:
I.    Who is a Jew? (3:1-8)
II.   Who is Righteous? (3:9-18)
III.  Who is Guilty? (3:19-20)

All are guilty, but God's faithfulness endures.

Text: (NASB)
Rom. 3:1   Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?  2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.  3 What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?  4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, 
“THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, 
AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED.” 
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.)  6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?  7 But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?  8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just. 
Rom. 3:9   What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 
10  as it is written, 
“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; 
11  THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, 
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; 
12  ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; 
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, 
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.” 
13  “THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, 
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,” 
“THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”; 
14  “WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS”; 
15  “THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, 
16  DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS, 
17  AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN.” 
18  “THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.” 
Rom. 3:19   Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;  20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
