- 1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?Τί οὖν τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ Ἰουδαίου ἢ τίς ἡ ὠφέλεια τῆς περιτομῆς
- 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.πολὺ κατὰ πάντα τρόπον πρῶτον μὲν ⸀γὰρ ὅτι ἐπιστεύθησαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ θεοῦ
- 3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?τί γάρ εἰ ἠπίστησάν μὴ ἡ ἀπιστία αὐτῶν τὴν πίστιν τοῦ θεοῦ καταργήσει
- 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.μὴ γένοιτο γινέσθω δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀληθής πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης ⸀καθὼς γέγραπται Ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου καὶ ⸀νικήσεις ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε
- 5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)εἰ δὲ ἡ ἀδικία ἡμῶν θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην τί ἐροῦμεν μὴ ἄδικος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐπιφέρων τὴν ὀργήν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω
- 6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?μὴ γένοιτο ἐπεὶ πῶς κρινεῖ ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον
- 7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?εἰ ⸀δὲ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ἐμῷ ψεύσματι ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ τί ἔτι κἀγὼ ὡς ἁμαρτωλὸς κρίνομαι
- 8And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.καὶ μὴ καθὼς βλασφημούμεθα καὶ καθώς φασίν ἡμᾶς λέγειν ὅτι Ποιήσωμεν τὰ κακὰ ἵνα ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀγαθά ὧν τὸ κρίμα ἔνδικόν ἐστιν
- 9What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;Τί οὖν προεχόμεθα οὐ πάντως προῃτιασάμεθα γὰρ Ἰουδαίους τε καὶ Ἕλληνας πάντας ὑφ’ ἁμαρτίαν εἶναι
- 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι Οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς
- 11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.οὐκ ἔστιν ⸀ὁ συνίων οὐκ ἔστιν ⸁ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὸν θεόν
- 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.πάντες ἐξέκλιναν ἅμα οὐκ ⸀ἔστιν ποιῶν χρηστότητα οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός
- 13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν
- 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:ὧν τὸ στόμα ἀρᾶς καὶ πικρίας γέμει
- 15Their feet are swift to shed blood:ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα
- 16Destruction and misery are in their ways:σύντριμμα καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν
- 17And the way of peace have they not known:καὶ ὁδὸν εἰρήνης οὐκ ἔγνωσαν
- 18There is no fear of God before their eyes.οὐκ ἔστιν φόβος θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν
- 19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.δὲ ὅτι ὅσα ὁ νόμος λέγει τοῖς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ λαλεῖ ἵνα πᾶν στόμα φραγῇ καὶ ὑπόδικος γένηται πᾶς ὁ κόσμος τῷ θεῷ
- 20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.διότι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ διὰ γὰρ νόμου ἐπίγνωσις ἁμαρτίας
- 21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;Νυνὶ δὲ χωρὶς νόμου δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ πεφανέρωται μαρτυρουμένη ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν
- 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:δικαιοσύνη δὲ θεοῦ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς ⸀πάντας τοὺς πιστεύοντας οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολή
- 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;πάντες γὰρ ἥμαρτον καὶ ὑστεροῦνται τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ
- 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:δικαιούμενοι δωρεὰν τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
- 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;ὃν προέθετο ὁ θεὸς ἱλαστήριον ⸀διὰ πίστεως ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ αἵματι εἰς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ διὰ τὴν πάρεσιν τῶν προγεγονότων ἁμαρτημάτων
- 26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς ⸀τὴν ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν δίκαιον καὶ δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ
- 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.Ποῦ οὖν ἡ καύχησις ἐξεκλείσθη διὰ ποίου νόμου τῶν ἔργων οὐχί ἀλλὰ διὰ νόμου πίστεως
- 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.λογιζόμεθα ⸀γὰρ ⸂δικαιοῦσθαι πίστει⸃ ἄνθρωπον χωρὶς ἔργων νόμου
- 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:ἢ Ἰουδαίων ὁ θεὸς μόνον ⸀οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν ναὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν
- 30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.εἷς ὁ θεός ὃς δικαιώσει περιτομὴν ἐκ πίστεως καὶ ἀκροβυστίαν διὰ τῆς πίστεως
- 31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.νόμον οὖν καταργοῦμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως μὴ γένοιτο ἀλλὰ νόμον ⸀ἱστάνομεν
