Romans 3 closes every human mouth before God and then unveils the righteousness of God in Christ for sinners who cannot justify themselves.

Kapitelkommentar öffnen

Romans 3 brings humanity to the place it most resists: silence before the holy God. Paul does not leave room for moral optimism or religious advantage. In Romans 3:10-20, the whole world is brought under sin, and the law functions not as a ladder upward but as a witness that shuts every mouth. That means the chapter does not merely criticize particularly bad people. It condemns the whole human project of self-justification. Then comes one of the great turns in Scripture. In Romans 3:21-26, the righteousness of God is manifested apart from the law through faith in Jesus Christ. God remains just, and yet he justifies the ungodly through the blood of Christ. This is not divine leniency. It is costly righteousness. By Romans 3:27-28, boasting is gone. Romans 3 matters because it asks whether you are still trying to bring something of your own to the verdict of God, or whether you have been emptied enough to receive a righteousness you could never produce.

1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. 3 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. 5 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin; 10 as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God; 12 They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one: 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God: 20 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin. 21 But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; 26 for the showing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. 27 Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. 28 We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: 30 if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.

Verse 3:9-20 Deep

Das Gesetz bringt jeden Mund zum Schweigen, bevor es niemanden rettet

Öffnen

Paulus sammelt das Zeugnis der Schrift, um die Menschheit jeder Unschuldsbehauptung zu berauben. Der Dienst des Gesetzes besteht hier nicht darin, eine Leiter nach oben zu geben, sondern Schuld so vollständig offenzulegen, dass Ruhm stirbt.

Wichtige Bibelstellen
Verse 3:21-26 Deep

Gott bleibt gerecht, indem er durch bluterkaufte Gerechtigkeit rechtfertigt

Öffnen

Der Wendepunkt von Römer 3 liegt nicht darin, dass Gott seine Heiligkeit lockert. Er offenbart Gerechtigkeit außerhalb des Gesetzes durch Christus, sodass Barmherzigkeit in Sühne gründet und Gerechtigkeit gewahrt bleibt, während Sünder gerechtfertigt werden.

💥 Truth

Gnade ist nicht Gottes Übersehen der Sünde. Es ist Gottes so vollständiges Handeln an der Sünde in Christus, dass jedes Rühmen für immer verstummt.

Verse 3:27-31 Standard

Glaube entfernt Ruhm, weil Rettung Gottes Werk bleibt

Öffnen

Sobald Rechtfertigung durch Glauben empfangen wird, hat menschlicher Ruhm keinen Stand mehr. Paulus’ Schluss schützt die Gnade und zeigt, dass der Glaube das wahre Zeugnis des Gesetzes nicht aufhebt, sondern in Christus aufrichtet.
