GNT

1 τί οὗν τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ ἰουδαίου, ἢ τίς ἡ ὠφέλεια τῆς περιτομῆς;

2 πολὺ κατὰ πάντα τρόπον. πρῶτον μὲν [γὰρ] ὅτι ἐπιστεύθησαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ θεοῦ.

3 τί γὰρ εἰ ἠπίστησάν τινες; μὴ ἡ ἀπιστία αὐτῶν τὴν πίστιν τοῦ θεοῦ καταργήσει;

4 μὴ γένοιτο· γινέσθω δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀληθής, πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης, καθὼς γέγραπται, ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου καὶ νικήσεις ἐν τῶ κρίνεσθαί σε.

5 εἰ δὲ ἡ ἀδικία ἡμῶν θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην συνίστησιν, τί ἐροῦμεν; μὴ ἄδικος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐπιφέρων τὴν ὀργήν; κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω.

6 μὴ γένοιτο· ἐπεὶ πῶς κρινεῖ ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον;

7 εἰ δὲ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῶ ἐμῶ ψεύσματι ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, τί ἔτι κἀγὼ ὡς ἁμαρτωλὸς κρίνομαι;

8 καὶ μὴ καθὼς βλασφημούμεθα καὶ καθώς φασίν τινες ἡμᾶς λέγειν ὅτι ποιήσωμεν τὰ κακὰ ἵνα ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀγαθά; ὧν τὸ κρίμα ἔνδικόν ἐστιν.

9 τί οὗν; προεχόμεθα; οὐ πάντως, προῃτιασάμεθα γὰρ ἰουδαίους τε καὶ ἕλληνας πάντας ὑφ᾽ ἁμαρτίαν εἶναι,

10 καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς,

11 οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ συνίων, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὸν θεόν.

12 πάντες ἐξέκλιναν, ἅμα ἠχρεώθησαν· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ποιῶν χρηστότητα, [οὐκ ἔστιν] ἕως ἑνός.

13 τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν, ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν, ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν,

14 ὧν τὸ στόμα ἀρᾶς καὶ πικρίας γέμει·

15 ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα,

16 σύντριμμα καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν,

17 καὶ ὁδὸν εἰρήνης οὐκ ἔγνωσαν.

18 οὐκ ἔστιν φόβος θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν.

19 οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὅσα ὁ νόμος λέγει τοῖς ἐν τῶ νόμῳ λαλεῖ, ἵνα πᾶν στόμα φραγῇ καὶ ὑπόδικος γένηται πᾶς ὁ κόσμος τῶ θεῶ·

20 διότι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, διὰ γὰρ νόμου ἐπίγνωσις ἁμαρτίας.

21 νυνὶ δὲ χωρὶς νόμου δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ πεφανέρωται, μαρτυρουμένη ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν,

22 δικαιοσύνη δὲ θεοῦ διὰ πίστεως ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, εἰς πάντας τοὺς πιστεύοντας· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολή·

23 πάντες γὰρ ἥμαρτον καὶ ὑστεροῦνται τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ,

24 δικαιούμενοι δωρεὰν τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ·

25 ὃν προέθετο ὁ θεὸς ἱλαστήριον διὰ [τῆς] πίστεως ἐν τῶ αὐτοῦ αἵματι εἰς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ διὰ τὴν πάρεσιν τῶν προγεγονότων ἁμαρτημάτων

26 ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ θεοῦ, πρὸς τὴν ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῶ νῦν καιρῶ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν δίκαιον καὶ δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἐκ πίστεως ἰησοῦ.

27 ποῦ οὗν ἡ καύχησις; ἐξεκλείσθη. διὰ ποίου νόμου; τῶν ἔργων; οὐχί, ἀλλὰ διὰ νόμου πίστεως.

28 λογιζόμεθα γὰρ δικαιοῦσθαι πίστει ἄνθρωπον χωρὶς ἔργων νόμου.

29 ἢ ἰουδαίων ὁ θεὸς μόνον; οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν; ναὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν,

30 εἴπερ εἷς ὁ θεός, ὃς δικαιώσει περιτομὴν ἐκ πίστεως καὶ ἀκροβυστίαν διὰ τῆς πίστεως.

31 νόμον οὗν καταργοῦμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως; μὴ γένοιτο, ἀλλὰ νόμον ἱστάνομεν.

1  What⁵¹⁰¹ advantage⁴⁰⁵³ then³⁷⁶⁷ hath the³⁵⁸⁸ Jew?²⁴⁵³ or²²²⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ profit⁵⁶²² is there of circumcision?⁴⁰⁶¹

2  Much⁴¹⁸³ every³⁹⁵⁶ way:⁵¹⁵⁸ chiefly,^{4412 3303} because¹⁰⁶³ that³⁷⁵⁴ unto them were committed⁴¹⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ oracles³⁰⁵¹ of God.²³¹⁶

3  For¹⁰⁶³ what⁵¹⁰¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ some⁵¹⁰⁰ did not believe?⁵⁶⁹ shall their⁸⁴⁸ unbelief^{570 3361} make the faith of God without effect?^{2673 3588 4102 2316}

4  God forbid:^{1096 3361} yea, let God²³¹⁶ be¹⁰⁹⁶ true,²²⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ every³⁹⁵⁶ man⁴⁴⁴ a liar;⁵⁵⁸³ as²⁵³¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ That³⁷⁰⁴ thou mightest be justified^{1344 302} in¹⁷²² thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sayings,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² mightest overcome³⁵²⁸ when thou⁴⁵⁷¹ art judged.²⁹¹⁹

5  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ our²²⁵⁷ unrighteousness⁹³ commend⁴⁹²¹ the righteousness¹³⁴³ of God,²³¹⁶ what⁵¹⁰¹ shall we say?²⁰⁴⁶ Is God²³¹⁶ unrighteous⁹⁴ who taketh²⁰¹⁸ vengeance? I³⁷⁰⁹ (speak³⁰⁰⁴ as²⁵⁹⁶ a man)⁴⁴⁴

6  God forbid:^{1096 3361} for then¹⁸⁹³ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall God²³¹⁶ judge²⁹¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world?²⁸⁸⁹

7  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth²²⁵ of God²³¹⁶ hath more abounded⁴⁰⁵² through¹⁷²² my¹⁶⁹⁹ lie⁵⁵⁸² unto¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ glory;¹³⁹¹ why⁵¹⁰¹ yet²⁰⁸⁹ am I also²⁵⁰⁴ judged²⁹¹⁹ as⁵⁶¹³ a sinner?²⁶⁸

8  And²⁵³² not³³⁶¹ rather, (as²⁵³¹ we be slanderously reported,⁹⁸⁷ and²⁵³² as²⁵³¹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ affirm⁵³⁴⁶ that we²²⁴⁸ say,) Let us³⁰⁰⁴ do⁴¹⁶⁰ evil,²⁵⁵⁶ that²⁴⁴³ good¹⁸ may come?²⁰⁶⁴ whose³⁷³⁹ damnation²⁹¹⁷ is²⁰⁷⁶ just.¹⁷³⁸

9  What⁵¹⁰¹ then?³⁷⁶⁷ are we better⁴²⁸⁴ than they? No,³⁷⁵⁶ in no wise:³⁸⁴³ for¹⁰⁶³ we have before proved⁴²⁵⁶ both⁵⁰³⁷ Jews²⁴⁵³ and²⁵³² Gentiles,¹⁶⁷² that they are¹⁵¹¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ under⁵²⁵⁹ sin;²⁶⁶

10  As²⁵³¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ There is²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁵⁶ righteous,¹³⁴² no, not³⁷⁶¹ one:¹⁵²⁰

11  There is²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁵⁶ that understandeth,⁴⁹²⁰ there is²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁵⁶ that seeketh after¹⁵⁶⁷ God.²³¹⁶

12  They are all³⁹⁵⁶ gone out of the way,¹⁵⁷⁸ they are together²⁶⁰ become unprofitable;⁸⁸⁹ there is²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁵⁶ that doeth⁴¹⁶⁰ good,⁵⁵⁴⁴ no,²⁰⁷⁶ not^{3756 2193} one.¹⁵²⁰

13  Their⁸⁴⁸ throat²⁹⁹⁵ is an open⁴⁵⁵ sepulcher;⁵⁰²⁸ with their⁸⁴⁸ tongues¹¹⁰⁰ they have used deceit;¹³⁸⁷ the poison²⁴⁴⁷ of asps⁷⁸⁵ is under⁵²⁵⁹ their⁸⁴⁸ lips:⁵⁴⁹¹

14  Whose³⁷³⁹ mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ is full¹⁰⁷³ of cursing⁶⁸⁵ and²⁵³² bitterness:⁴⁰⁸⁸

15  Their⁸⁴⁸ feet⁴²²⁸ are swift³⁶⁹¹ to shed¹⁶³² blood:¹²⁹

16  Destruction⁴⁹³⁸ and²⁵³² misery⁵⁰⁰⁴ are in¹⁷²² their⁸⁴⁸ ways:³⁵⁹⁸

17  And²⁵³² the way³⁵⁹⁸ of peace¹⁵¹⁵ have they not³⁷⁵⁶ known:¹⁰⁹⁷

18  There is²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ of God²³¹⁶ before⁵⁶¹ their⁸⁴⁸ eyes.³⁷⁸⁸

19  Now¹¹⁶¹ we know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ what things soever³⁷⁴⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ saith,³⁰⁰⁴ it saith²⁹⁸⁰ to them³⁵⁸⁸ who are under¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ law:³⁵⁵¹ that²⁴⁴³ every³⁹⁵⁶ mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ may be stopped,⁵⁴²⁰ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ may become¹⁰⁹⁶ guilty⁵²⁶⁷ before God.²³¹⁶

20  Therefore¹³⁶⁰ by¹⁵³⁷ the deeds²⁰⁴¹ of the law³⁵⁵¹ there shall no^{3756 3956} flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ be justified¹³⁴⁴ in his sight:^{1799 846} for¹⁰⁶³ by¹²²³ the law³⁵⁵¹ is the knowledge¹⁹²² of sin.²⁶⁶

21  But¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ the righteousness¹³⁴³ of God²³¹⁶ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ the law³⁵⁵¹ is manifested,⁵³¹⁹ being witnessed³¹⁴⁰ by⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets;⁴³⁹⁶

22  Even¹¹⁶¹ the righteousness¹³⁴³ of God²³¹⁶ which is by¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ unto¹⁵¹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² upon¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ them that believe:⁴¹⁰⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ there is²⁰⁷⁶ no³⁷⁵⁶ difference:¹²⁹³

23  For¹⁰⁶³ all³⁹⁵⁶ have sinned,²⁶⁴ and²⁵³² come short⁵³⁰² of the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ of God;²³¹⁶

24  Being justified¹³⁴⁴ freely¹⁴³² by his⁸⁴⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ redemption⁶²⁹ that³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus:²⁴²⁴

25  Whom³⁷³⁹ God²³¹⁶ hath set forth⁴³⁸⁸ to be a propitiation²⁴³⁵ through¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² in¹⁷²² his⁸⁴⁸ blood,¹²⁹ to declare^{1519 1732} his⁸⁴⁸ righteousness¹³⁴³ for¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ remission³⁹²⁹ of sins²⁶⁵ that are past,⁴²⁶⁶ through¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ forbearance⁴⁶³ of God;²³¹⁶

26  To⁴³¹⁴ declare,¹⁷³² I say, at¹⁷²² this³⁵⁶⁸ time²⁵⁴⁰ his⁸⁴⁶ righteousness:¹³⁴³ that he⁸⁴⁶ might be¹⁵¹¹ just,¹³⁴² and²⁵³² the justifier¹³⁴⁴ of him³⁵⁸⁸ which believeth^{1537 4102} in Jesus.²⁴²⁴

27  Where⁴²²⁶ is boasting²⁷⁴⁶ then?³⁷⁶⁷ It is excluded.¹⁵⁷⁶ By¹²²³ what⁴¹⁶⁹ law?³⁵⁵¹ of works?²⁰⁴¹ Nay:³⁷⁸⁰ but²³⁵ by¹²²³ the law³⁵⁵¹ of faith.⁴¹⁰²

28  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ we conclude³⁰⁴⁹ that a man⁴⁴⁴ is justified¹³⁴⁴ by faith⁴¹⁰² without⁵⁵⁶⁵ the deeds²⁰⁴¹ of the law.³⁵⁵¹

29  Is he²²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ God²³¹⁶ of the Jews²⁴⁵³ only?³⁴⁴⁰ is he¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁸⁰ also²⁵³² of the Gentiles?¹⁴⁸⁴ Yes,³⁴⁸³ of the Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴ also:²⁵³²

30  Seeing¹⁸⁹⁷ it is one¹⁵²⁰ God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷³⁹ shall justify¹³⁴⁴ the circumcision⁴⁰⁶¹ by¹⁵³⁷ faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² uncircumcision²⁰³ through¹²²³ faith.⁴¹⁰²

31  Do we then³⁷⁶⁷ make void²⁶⁷³ the law³⁵⁵¹ through¹²²³ faith?⁴¹⁰² God forbid:^{1096 3361} yea,²³⁵ we establish²⁴⁷⁶ the law.³⁵⁵¹

Vul

1 Quid ergo amplius Judæo est? aut quæ 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? præcellimus eos? Nequaquam. Causati enim sumus Judæos et Græcos 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 quæcumque 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 quæ est in Christo Jesu,

25 quem proposuit Deus propitiationem per fidem in sanguine ipsius, ad ostensionem justitiæ suæ propter remissionem præcedentium delictorum

26 in sustentatione Dei, ad ostensionem justitiæ 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 Judæorum Deus tantum? nonne et gentium? Immo et gentium:

30 quoniam quidem unus est Deus, qui justificat circumcisionem ex fide, et præputium per fidem.

31 Legem ergo destruimus per fidem? Absit: sed legem statuimus.
