Romans 3
1 What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision?
τι ουν το περισσον του ιουδαιου η τις η ωφελεια της περιτομης
2 Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.
πολυ κατα παντα τροπον πρωτον μεν γαρ οτι επιστευθησαν τα λογια του θεου
3 For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?
τι γαρ ει ηπιστησαν τινες μη η απιστια αυτων την πιστιν του θεου καταργησει
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.
μη γενοιτο γινεσθω δε ο θεος αληθης πας δε ανθρωπος ψευστης καθως γεγραπται οπως αν δικαιωθης εν τοις λογοις σου και νικησης εν τω κρινεσθαι σε
5 Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)
ει δε η αδικια ημων θεου δικαιοσυνην συνιστησιν τι ερουμεν μη αδικος ο θεος ο επιφερων την οργην κατα ανθρωπον λεγω
6 God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?
μη γενοιτο επει πως κρινει ο θεος τον κοσμον
7 For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?
ει γαρ η αληθεια του θεου εν τω εμω ψευσματι επερισσευσεν εις την δοξαν αυτου τι ετι καγω ως αμαρτωλος κρινομαι
8 And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust.
και μη καθως βλασφημουμεθα και καθως φασιν τινες ημας λεγειν οτι ποιησωμεν τα κακα ινα ελθη τα αγαθα ων το κριμα ενδικον εστιν
9 What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,
τι ουν προεχομεθα ου παντως προητιασαμεθα γαρ ιουδαιους τε και ελληνας παντας υφ αμαρτιαν ειναι
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
καθως γεγραπται οτι ουκ εστιν δικαιος ουδε εις
11 There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.
ουκ εστιν ο συνιων ουκ εστιν ο εκζητων τον θεον
12 They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
παντες εξεκλιναν αμα ηχρειωθησαν ουκ εστιν ποιων χρηστοτητα ουκ εστιν εως ενος
13 Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.
ταφος ανεωγμενος ο λαρυγξ αυτων ταις γλωσσαις αυτων εδολιουσαν ιος ασπιδων υπο τα χειλη αυτων
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.
ων το στομα αρας και πικριας γεμει
15 Their feete are swift to shead blood.
οξεις οι ποδες αυτων εκχεαι αιμα
16 Destruction and calamity are in their waies,
συντριμμα και ταλαιπωρια εν ταις οδοις αυτων
17 And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.
και οδον ειρηνης ουκ εγνωσαν
18 The feare of God is not before their eies.
ουκ εστιν φοβος θεου απεναντι των οφθαλμων αυτων
19 Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.
οιδαμεν δε οτι οσα ο νομος λεγει τοις εν τω νομω λαλει ινα παν στομα φραγη και υποδικος γενηται πας ο κοσμος τω θεω
20 Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.
διοτι εξ εργων νομου ου δικαιωθησεται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου δια γαρ νομου επιγνωσις αμαρτιας
21 But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,
νυνι δε χωρις νομου δικαιοσυνη θεου πεφανερωται μαρτυρουμενη υπο του νομου και των προφητων
22 To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.
δικαιοσυνη δε θεου δια πιστεως ιησου χριστου εις παντας και επι παντας τους πιστευοντας ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη
23 For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,
παντες γαρ ημαρτον και υστερουνται της δοξης του θεου
24 And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,
δικαιουμενοι δωρεαν τη αυτου χαριτι δια της απολυτρωσεως της εν χριστω ιησου
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,
ον προεθετο ο θεος ιλαστηριον δια της πιστεως εν τω αυτου αιματι εις ενδειξιν της δικαιοσυνης αυτου δια την παρεσιν των προγεγονοτων αμαρτηματων
26 Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.
εν τη ανοχη του θεου προς ενδειξιν της δικαιοσυνης αυτου εν τω νυν καιρω εις το ειναι αυτον δικαιον και δικαιουντα τον εκ πιστεως ιησου
27 Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.
που ουν η καυχησις εξεκλεισθη δια ποιου νομου των εργων ουχι αλλα δια νομου πιστεως
28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe.
λογιζομεθα ουν πιστει δικαιουσθαι ανθρωπον χωρις εργων νομου
29 God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.
η ιουδαιων ο θεος μονον ουχι δε και εθνων ναι και εθνων
30 For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.
επειπερ εις ο θεος ος δικαιωσει περιτομην εκ πιστεως και ακροβυστιαν δια της πιστεως
31 Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.
νομον ουν καταργουμεν δια της πιστεως μη γενοιτο αλλα νομον ιστωμεν
