1 Then what advantage does the Yehudi have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
1
What, then, [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision?

2
much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith make of no effect the faithfulness of God?
3

4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, And might prevail when you come into judgment."
4
let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, `That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.'
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
5
And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak)
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
6
let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

7
for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged?
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Those who say so are justly condemned.
8
and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- `We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously charged both Yehudim and Yevanim, that they are all under sin.
9
What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous. No, not one.
10
according as it hath been written -- `There is none righteous, not even one;
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
11
There is none who is understanding, there is none who is seeking after God.
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, No, not, so much as one."

13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"

14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
14
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
15
Swift [are] their feet to shed blood.
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.

18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
19
And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
20
wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
21
And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Yeshua the Messiah to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
22
and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
23
for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua;
24
being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done before, in the forbearance of God;
25
whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Yeshua.
26
for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
27
Where then [is] the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
28
therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.
29 Or is God the God of Yehudim only? Isn't he the God of Goyim also? Yes, of Goyim also,
29
The God of Jews only [is He], and not also of nations?
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
30

31 Do we then make the law of no effect through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
31
Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.
