God forbid. For God is true, but every man a liar."[30]

Rom. 3:3 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Epistle LXVIII

God forbid; for God is true, but every man a liar."[19]

Rom. 3:3 - NIV, NAB - in Seventh Council of Carthage Under Cyprian

said: It does not disturb me if any man does not assert the faith and truth of the Church, since the apostle says, "For what if some of them have fallen away from the faith? Has their unbelief made the faith of God of no effect? By no means. For God is true, but every man a liar."[86]

"There is no fear of God before their eyes."[329]

Rom. 3:20 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV

Well, the body tills the ground, and hastes to it; but the soul is raised to God: trained in the true philosophy, it speeds to its kindred above, turning away from the lusts of the body, and besides these, from toil and fear, although we have shown that patience and fear belong to the good man. For if "by the law is the knowledge of sin,"[7]

Rom. 3:20 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV

as those allege who disparage the law, and "till the law sin was in the world; "[8]

the law; now it is "the righteousness of God which is by the faith of (Jesus) Christ."[622]

Rom. 3:23 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

For as these men did not impute unto us (the Gentiles) our transgressions, which we wrought before Christ was manifested among us, so also it is not right that we should lay blame upon those who sinned before Christ's coming. For "all men come short of the glory of God,"[386]

Rom. 3:23 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

We ought not, therefore, as that presbyter remarks, to be puffed up, nor be severe upon those of old time, but ought ourselves to fear, lest perchance, after [we have come to] the knowledge of Christ, if we do things displeasing to God, we obtain no further forgiveness of sins, but be shut out from His kingdom.[387]

Rom. 3:23 - NIV, NAB - in Cyprian Treatise XII Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews

Rom. 3:25 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

And so one might venture to say that wisdom is anterior to all the thoughts that are expressed in the titles of the first-born of every creature. Now God is altogether one and simple; but our Saviour, for many reasons, since God[90]

Rom. 3:25 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

"And if any one sin, we have a Paraclete with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous," and he adds that He is a propitiation for our sins, and similarly Paul says He is a propitiation:[108]

Rom. 3:25 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book I

for our sins. Similarly, in the Epistle to the Romans, He is called a propitiation:[170]

Rom. 3:25 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XII

dignity of the Father who had revealed to him so great things about Christ,-for the things that concerned His coming suffering had not been revealed to him,-on this account he took Him, and as one forgetful of the honour due to the Christ, and that the Son of the living God neither does nor says anything worthy of rebuke, he began to rebuke Him; and as to one who needed propitiation,-for he did not yet know that "God had set Him forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood,"[145]

Rom. 3:26 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty

of God, and provoke our own constancy? Because, albeit God is by nature good, still He is "just"[28]

"Is He the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Yes, also of the Gentiles: if indeed He is one God,"[52]

Rom. 3:29 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book VI

For if to live well and according to the law is to live, also to live rationally according to the law is to live; and those who lived rightly before the Law were classed under faith,[81]

Rom. 3:29 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty

Tell me, is not all mankind one flock of God? Is not the same God both Lord and Shepherd of the universal nations?[84]

Rom. 3:29 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XI

and glorify Him in the persuasion that it is the same God, who is the Father of Him who healed those previously mentioned, and the God of Israel. For He is not the God of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.[196]

Rom. 3:30 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

to God that human nature (hominem) which had departed from God; and therefore men were taught to worship God after a new fashion, but not another god, because in truth there is but "one God, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith."[98]

Rom. 3:30 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book IV

For it is truly "one God who" directed the patriarchs towards His dispensations, and "has justified the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith."[333]

Rom. 3:30 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book V

Rom. 3:31 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On Modesty

But he had withal said above: "Are we, then, making void the law through faith? Far be it; but we are establishing the law "[61]
