Romans 3

New International Version NIV

1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?

2 Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.

3 What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?

4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”

5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)

6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?

7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?”

8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!

9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.

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.”

13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

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.”

18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

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? 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.

29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 quid ergo amplius est Iudaeo 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 iustificeris in sermonibus tuis et vincas cum iudicaris

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

6 absit alioquin quomodo iudicabit Deus mundum

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

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

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

10 sicut scriptum est quia non est iustus quisquam

11 non est intellegens 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 his qui in lege sunt loquitur ut omne os obstruatur et subditus fiat omnis mundus Deo

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

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

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

23 omnes enim peccaverunt et egent gloriam Dei

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

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

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

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

28 arbitramur enim iustificari hominem per fidem sine operibus legis

29 an Iudaeorum Deus tantum nonne et gentium immo et gentium

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

31 legem ergo destruimus per fidem absit sed legem statuimus
