    ANSWERS:  1. Romans 3:1,2;  2. Romans 3:3,4;  3. Romans 3:5-8 (God's perfection in contrast with sin, thus more highlighting and glorifying Him);  4. Romans 3:8 (his "damnation is just"); 5. Romans 3:9;  6. Read Romans 5:7; 7. Read Romans 5:7; 8. In the absolute sense (only God is righteous and good in the absolute sense; Romans 5:7 evidently is speaking in the relative sense, compared to other human beings and not God, there are people righteous and good);  9. Romans 3:13-15,18; 10. Romans 3:19 (they have no defense, there is nothing they can say, and they are guilty); 11. Romans 3:20;   12. Anticipated in prophecy, as Isaiah 53 suggests; Romans chapter 4 shows Abraham and David as examples of N.T. faith and grace to come;  13. Romans 3:23; 14. Romans 3:24,25; propitiation means appeasement, translated and used in connection with  the mercy seat in Hebrews 9:5; 15. Romans 3:25,26--those who lived before Christ (Christ's death on the cross took care of their sins, too); 16. Romans 3:27; 17. Romans 3:29,30; 18. Romans 3:31--Right is right and wrong is still wrong; our approach is different, emphasizing faith as man was unable to be perfect; it is the law of faith, the law of the Spirit, the law unto Christ (Romans 6:1; 8:1; James 1:25; 1 Corinthians 9:21).
