| 1 | What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? |
|
ΤίοῦντὸπερισσὸντοῦΙουδαίου,ὴτίςηωφέλειατῆςπεριτομῆς;
|
|
| 2 | Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. |
|
πολὺκατὰπάντατρόπον.πρῶτονμὲν[γὰρ]ότιεπιστεύθησαντὰλόγιατοῦθεοῦ.
|
|
| 3 | For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? |
|
τίγὰρειηπίστησάντινες;μὴηαπιστίααυτῶντὴνπίστιντοῦθεοῦκαταργήσει;
|
|
| 4 | Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.” |
|
μὴγένοιτο·γινέσθωδὲοθεὸςαληθής,πᾶςδὲάνθρωποςψεύστης,καθὼςγέγραπται,Όπωςὰνδικαιωθῆςεντοῖςλόγοιςσουκαὶνικήσειςεντῶκρίνεσθαίσε.
|
|
| 5 | But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) |
|
ειδὲηαδικίαημῶνθεοῦδικαιοσύνηνσυνίστησιν,τίεροῦμεν;μὴάδικοςοθεὸςοεπιφέρωντὴνοργήν;κατὰάνθρωπονλέγω.
|
|
| 6 | Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world? |
|
μὴγένοιτο·επεὶπῶςκρινεῖοθεὸςτὸνκόσμον;
|
|
| 7 | For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? |
|
ειγὰρηαλήθειατοῦθεοῦεντῶεμῶψεύσματιεπερίσσευσενειςτὴνδόξαναυτοῦ,τίέτικαγὼωςαμαρτωλὸςκρίνομαι;
|
|
| 8 | And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just. |
|
καὶμὴκαθὼςβλασφημούμεθακαὶκαθώςφασίντινεςημᾶςλέγεινότιΠοιήσωμεντὰκακὰίναέλθητὰαγαθά;ῶντὸκρίμαένδικόνεστιν.
|
|
| 9 | What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. |
|
Τίοῦν;προεχόμεθα;ουπάντως,προητιασάμεθαγὰρΙουδαίουςτεκαὶΈλληναςπάνταςυφ᾿αμαρτίανεῖναι,
|
|
| 10 | As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; |
|
καθὼςγέγραπταιότιΟυκέστινδίκαιοςουδὲεῖς,
|
|
| 11 | There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. |
|
ουκέστινοσυνίων,ουκέστινοεκζητῶντὸνθεόν.
|
|
| 12 | They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” |
|
πάντεςεξέκλιναν,άμαηχρειώθησαν·ουκέστινποιῶνχρηστότητα,ουκέστινέωςενός.
|
|
| 13 | “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; |
|
τάφοςανεωγμένοςολάρυγξαυτῶν,ταῖςγλώσσαιςαυτῶνεδολιοῦσαν,ιὸςασπίδωνυπὸτὰχείληαυτῶν,
|
|
| 14 | “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” |
|
ῶντὸστόμααρᾶςκαὶπικρίαςγέμει·
|
|
| 15 | “Their feet are swift to shed blood; |
|
οξεῖςοιπόδεςαυτῶνεκχέαιαῖμα,
|
|
| 16 | Destruction and misery are in their ways; |
|
σύντριμμακαὶταλαιπωρίαενταῖςοδοῖςαυτῶν,
|
|
| 17 | And the way of peace they have not known.” |
|
καὶοδὸνειρήνηςουκέγνωσαν.
|
|
| 18 | “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” |
|
ουκέστινφόβοςθεοῦαπέναντιτῶνοφθαλμῶναυτῶν.
|
|
| 19 | Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. |
|
Οίδαμενδὲότιόσαονόμοςλέγειτοῖςεντῶνόμωλαλεῖ,ίναπᾶνστόμαφραγῆκαὶυπόδικοςγένηταιπᾶςοκόσμοςτῶθεῶ·
|
|
| 20 | Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. |
|
διότιεξέργωννόμουουδικαιωθήσεταιπᾶσασὰρξενώπιοναυτοῦ,διὰγὰρνόμουεπίγνωσιςαμαρτίας.
|
|
| 21 | But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, |
|
Νυνὶδὲχωρὶςνόμουδικαιοσύνηθεοῦπεφανέρωται,μαρτυρουμένηυπὸτοῦνόμουκαὶτῶνπροφητῶν,
|
|
| 22 | even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; |
|
δικαιοσύνηδὲθεοῦδιὰπίστεωςΙησοῦΧριστοῦ,ειςπάνταςτοὺςπιστεύοντας·ουγάρεστινδιαστολή·
|
|
| 23 | for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, |
|
πάντεςγὰρήμαρτονκαὶυστεροῦνταιτῆςδόξηςτοῦθεοῦ,
|
|
| 24 | being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, |
|
δικαιούμενοιδωρεὰντῆαυτοῦχάριτιδιὰτῆςαπολυτρώσεωςτῆςενΧριστῶΙησοῦ·
|
|
| 25 | whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, |
|
ὸνπροέθετοοθεὸςιλαστήριονδιὰπίστεωςεντῶαυτοῦαίματιειςένδειξιντῆςδικαιοσύνηςαυτοῦδιὰτὴνπάρεσιντῶνπρογεγονότωναμαρτημάτων
|
|
| 26 | to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. |
|
εντῆανοχῆτοῦθεοῦ,πρὸςτὴνένδειξιντῆςδικαιοσύνηςαυτοῦεντῶνῦνκαιρῶ,ειςτὸεῖναιαυτὸνδίκαιονκαὶδικαιοῦντατὸνεκπίστεωςΙησοῦ.
|
|
| 27 | Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. |
|
Ποῦοῦνηκαύχησις;εξεκλείσθη.διὰποίουνόμου;τῶνέργων;ουχί,αλλὰδιὰνόμουπίστεως.
|
|
| 28 | Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. |
|
λογιζόμεθαγὰρδικαιοῦσθαιπίστειάνθρωπονχωρὶςέργωννόμου.
|
|
| 29 | Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, |
|
ὴΙουδαίωνοθεὸςμόνον;ουχὶκαὶεθνῶν;ναὶκαὶεθνῶν,
|
|
| 30 | since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. |
|
είπερεῖςοθεός,ὸςδικαιώσειπεριτομὴνεκπίστεωςκαὶακροβυστίανδιὰτῆςπίστεως.
|
|
| 31 | Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. |
|
νόμονοῦνκαταργοῦμενδιὰτῆςπίστεως;μὴγένοιτο,αλλὰνόμονιστάνομεν.
|
