G2532–καί–kai

But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

And have knowledge of his desires, and are a judge of the things which are different, having the learning of the law,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

A teacher of the foolish, having in the law the form of knowledge and of what is true;

καὶ kai “and”

And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

καὶ kai “and”

In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

καὶ kai “and”

Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

καὶ kai “and”

Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:

καὶ kai “and”

Destruction and trouble are in their ways;

καὶ kai “and”

And of the way of peace they have no knowledge:

καὶ kai “and”

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

καὶ kai “and”

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

καὶ kai “and”

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

καὶ kai “and”

For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

καὶ kai “and”

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

καὶ kai “and”

Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

καὶ kai “and”

But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

καὶ kai “and”

As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,

καὶ kai “also”

Happy are those who have forgiveness for their wrongdoing, and whose sins are covered.

καὶ kai “and”

Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

καὶ kai “also”

And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to th

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “also”

And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who keep to the way of that faith which our father Abraham had before he underwent circumcision.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

For if they who are of the law are the people who get the heritage, then faith is made of no use, and the word of God has no power;

καὶ kai “and”
