Romans 3

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

quid ergo amplius est Iudaeo aut quae utilitas circumcisionis

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

multum per omnem modum primum quidem quia credita sunt illis eloquia Dei

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

quid enim si quidam illorum non crediderunt numquid incredulitas illorum fidem Dei evacuabit absit

God 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.

est autem Deus verax omnis autem homo mendax sicut scriptum est ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis et vincas cum iudicaris

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

si autem iniquitas nostra iustitiam Dei commendat quid dicemus numquid iniquus Deus qui infert iram secundum hominem dico

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

absit alioquin quomodo iudicabit Deus mundum

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

si enim veritas Dei in meo mendacio abundavit in gloriam ipsius quid adhuc et ego tamquam peccator iudicor

And 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.

et non sicut blasphemamur et sicut aiunt nos quidam dicere faciamus mala ut veniant bona quorum damnatio iusta est

What 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;

quid igitur praecellimus eos nequaquam causati enim sumus Iudaeos et Graecos omnes sub peccato esse

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

sicut scriptum est quia non est iustus quisquam

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

non est intellegens non est requirens Deum

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

omnes declinaverunt simul inutiles facti sunt non est qui faciat bonum non est usque ad unum

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum linguis suis dolose agebant venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

quorum os maledictione et amaritudine plenum est

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum

And the way of peace have they not known:

et viam pacis non cognoverunt

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum

Now 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.

scimus autem quoniam quaecumque lex loquitur his qui in lege sunt loquitur ut omne os obstruatur et subditus fiat omnis mundus Deo

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

quia ex operibus legis non iustificabitur omnis caro coram illo per legem enim cognitio peccati

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

nunc autem sine lege iustitia Dei manifestata est testificata a lege et prophetis

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

iustitia autem Dei per fidem Iesu Christi super omnes qui credunt non enim est distinctio

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

omnes enim peccaverunt et egent gloriam Dei

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

iustificati gratis per gratiam ipsius per redemptionem quae est in Christo Iesu

Whom 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;

quem proposuit Deus propitiationem per fidem in sanguine ipsius ad ostensionem iustitiae suae propter remissionem praecedentium delictorum

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

in sustentatione Dei ad ostensionem iustitiae eius in hoc tempore ut sit ipse iustus et iustificans eum qui ex fide est Iesu

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

ubi est ergo gloriatio exclusa est per quam legem factorum non sed per legem fidei

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

arbitramur enim iustificari hominem per fidem sine operibus legis

Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

an Iudaeorum Deus tantum nonne et gentium immo et gentium

Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

quoniam quidem unus Deus qui iustificabit circumcisionem ex fide et praeputium per fidem

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

legem ergo destruimus per fidem absit sed legem statuimus
