Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?

Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, 'That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.'

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), 'Let us do evil, that good may come?' Those who say so are justly condemned.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

'Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.'

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

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
21 ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲉⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲁⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ .
But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22 ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ϯⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϩϯ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲫⲱⲣϫ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲡ
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23 ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉϣⲁⲧ ⲙⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ .
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;
26 ϧⲉⲛϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲥϭⲱⲣⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϫⲉⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲛϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉϯⲛⲟⲩ ϫⲉϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲑⲙⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ .
to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27 ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲓϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲁϣⲑⲁⲙ ⲉⲣⲱϥ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲁϣ ⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲫⲛⲁϩϯ .
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28 ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲡ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲧϭⲛⲉⲛⲓϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ .
We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 ϣⲁⲛ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲁϩⲁ ⲫⲁ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ .
Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
30 ⲓⲥϫⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲫⲏ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲑⲙⲁⲓⲉ ⲡⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲥⲉⲃⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ .
since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
31 ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲕⲉⲣϥ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲛⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲧⲁϩⲟ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ .
Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
