Romans 2:4
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
God has been kind to you. He has been very patient, waiting for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Maybe you don't understand that God is kind to you so that you will decide to change your lives.
Romans 2:5
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
But you are so stubborn! You refuse to change. So you are making your own punishment greater and greater. You will be punished on the day when God will show his anger. On that day everyone will see how right God is to judge people.
Romans 2:20
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
You think you can show foolish people what is right. And you think you are a teacher for those who are just beginning to learn. You have the law, and so you think you know everything and have all truth.
Romans 2:21
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
You teach others, so why don't you teach yourself? You tell them not to steal, but you yourself steal.

So, do Jews have anything that others don't have? Do they get any benefit from being circumcised?
Romans 3:5
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
When we do wrong, that shows more clearly that God is right. So can we say that God does wrong when he punishes us? (That's the way some people think.)
Romans 3:7
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
Someone might say, "When I lie, it really gives God glory, because my lie makes his truth easier to see. So why am I judged a sinner?"
Romans 3:8
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
It would be the same to say, "We should do evil so that good will come." Many people criticize us, saying that's what we teach. They are wrong, and they should be condemned for saying that.
Romans 3:9
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
So are we Jews better than other people? No, we have already said that those who are Jews, as well as those who are not Jews, are the same. They are all guilty of sin.
Romans 3:27

So do we have any reason to boast about ourselves? No reason at all. And why not? Because we are depending on the way of faith, not on what we have done in following the law.
Romans 3:31
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
So do we destroy the law by following the way of faith? Not at all! In fact, faith causes us to be what the law actually wants.

So what can we say about Abraham, the father of our people? What did he learn about faith?
Romans 4:5

Romans 4:10
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
So how did this happen? Did God accept Abraham before or after he was circumcised? God accepted him before his circumcision.
Romans 4:11
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
Abraham was circumcised later to show that God accepted him. His circumcision was proof that he was right with God through faith before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all those who believe but are not circumcised. They believe and are accepted as people who are right with God.
Romans 4:16
[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
So people get what God promised by having faith. This happens so that the promise can be a free gift. And if the promise is a free gift, then all of Abraham's people will get that promise. The promise is not just for those who live under the Law of Moses. It is for all who live with faith as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.
Romans 4:19

[ Read Chapter | View Context | Multi-Translations | Study Tools ]
So that's why "he was accepted as one who is right with God."
