Romans 3:1-20
This week we continue our series in Roman 1-3. We have covered the first two chapters the last four weeks. – Today we are covering Rom. 3:1-20.

Romans 3:1-8- Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2 Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? 4 By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justifi ...
