G2532–καί–kai

But if *thou* art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

καὶ kai “and”

and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [ergänzt: art] a law-transgressor?

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

but he [ergänzt: is] a Jew [ergänzt: who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [ergänzt: is] not of men, but of God.

καὶ kai “and”

Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.

καὶ kai “and”

and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:

καὶ kai “and”

whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;

καὶ kai “and”

ruin and misery [ergänzt: are] in their ways,

καὶ kai “and”

and way of peace they have not known:

καὶ kai “and”

Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.

καὶ kai “and”

But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;

καὶ kai “and”

righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all,and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

καὶ kai “and”

for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

καὶ kai “and”

for [ergänzt: the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [ergänzt: the] faith of Jesus.

καὶ kai “and”

Is [ergänzt: God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [ergänzt: the] nations also? Yea, of nations also:

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

since indeed [ergänzt: it is] one God who shall justify [ergänzt: the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

καὶ kai “and”

for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

καὶ kai “and”

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

καὶ kai “also”

Blessed [ergänzt: they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:

καὶ kai “and”

[ergänzt: Does] this blessedness then [ergänzt: rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

καὶ kai “also”

And he received [ergänzt: the] sign of circumcision [ergänzt: as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [ergänzt: he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [ergänzt: the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “also”

and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [ergänzt: the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

For if they which [ergänzt: are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

καὶ kai “and”
