3 Quid ergo amplius Judaeo est? aut quae utilitas circumcisionis?
2 Multum per omnem modum. Primum quidem quia credita sunt illis eloquia Dei.
3 Quid enim si quidam illorum non crediderunt? numquid incredulitas illorum fidem Dei evacuabit? Absit.
4 Est autem Deus verax: omnis autem homo mendax, sicut scriptum est: Ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis: et vincas cum judicaris.
5 Si autem iniquitas nostra justitiam Dei commendat, quid dicemus? Numquid iniquus est Deus, qui infert iram?
6 secundum hominem dico. Absit. Alioquin quomodo judicabit Deus hunc mundum?
7 Si enim veritas Dei in meo mendacio abundavit in gloriam ipsius: quid adhuc et ego tamquam peccator judicor?
8 et non (sicut blasphemamur, et sicut aiunt quidam nos dicere) faciamus mala ut veniant bona: quorum damnatio justa est.
9 Quid ergo? praecellimus eos? Nequaquam. Causati enim sumus Judaeos et Graecos omnes sub peccato esse,
10 sicut scriptum est: Quia non est justus quisquam:
11 non est intelligens, non est requirens Deum.
12 Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13 Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum, linguis suis dolose agebant: venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum:
14 quorum os maledictione, et amaritudine plenum est:
15 veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem:
16 contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum:
17 et viam pacis non cognoverunt:
18 non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.
19 Scimus autem quoniam quaecumque lex loquitur, iis, qui in lege sunt, loquitur: ut omne os obstruatur, et subditus fiat omnis mundus Deo:
20 quia ex operibus legis non justificabitur omnis caro coram illo. Per legem enim cognitio peccati.
21 Nunc autem sine lege justitia Dei manifestata est: testificata a lege et prophetis.
22 Justitia autem Dei per fidem Jesu Christi in omnes et super omnes qui credunt in eum: non enim est distinctio:
23 omnes enim peccaverunt, et egent gloria Dei.
24 Justificati gratis per gratiam ipsius, per redemptionem quae est in Christo Jesu,
25 quem proposuit Deus propitiationem per fidem in sanguine ipsius, ad ostensionem justitiae suae propter remissionem praecedentium delictorum
26 in sustentatione Dei, ad ostensionem justitiae ejus in hoc tempore: ut sit ipse justus, et justificans eum, qui est ex fide Jesu Christi.
27 Ubi est ergo gloriatio tua? Exclusa est. Per quam legem? Factorum? Non: sed per legem fidei.
28 Arbitramur enim justificari hominem per fidem sine operibus legis.
29 An Judaeorum Deus tantum? nonne et gentium? Immo et gentium:
30 quoniam quidem unus est Deus, qui justificat circumcisionem ex fide, et praeputium per fidem.
31 Legem ergo destruimus per fidem? Absit: sed legem statuimus.

God’s Faithfulness
3 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way!(A) First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.(B)
3 What if some were unfaithful?(C) Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?(D) 4 Not at all! Let God be true,(E) and every human being a liar.(F) As it is written:
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(H) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(I) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(J) 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(K) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(L) 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(M) Their condemnation is just!
No One Is Righteous
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?(N) Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.(O) 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”[b](P)
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”[c](Q)
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d](R)
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e](S)
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f](T)
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g](U)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(V) it says to those who are under the law,(W) so that every mouth may be silenced(X) and the whole world held accountable to God.(Y) 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;(Z) rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.(AA)
Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God(AB) has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.(AC) 22 This righteousness(AD) is given through faith(AE) in[h] Jesus Christ(AF) to all who believe.(AG) There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,(AH) 23 for all have sinned(AI) and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified(AJ) freely by his grace(AK) through the redemption(AL) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[i](AM) through the shedding of his blood(AN)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(AO)— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting?(AP) It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.(AQ) 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,(AR) 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.(AS) 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
