| [1]What then is the excellence of the Jihudoya, and what the profit of circumcision? |
[1]Τί οὖν τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ Ἰουδαίου, ἢ τίς ἡ ὠφέλεια τῆς περιτομῆς; |
| [2]Much in every thing: primarily that they had intrusted [to them] the words of Aloha. |
[2]πολὺ κατὰ πάντα τρόπον· πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ὅτι ἐπιστεύθησαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| [3]For if some of them believed not, would their unbelief abolish the faithfulness of Aloha? |
[3]τί γὰρ εἰ ἠπίστησάν τινες; μὴ ἡ ἀπιστία αὐτῶν τὴν πίστιν τοῦ Θεοῦ καταργήσει; |
| [4]Not so: for Aloha is true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be just in thy words, and triumph when they judge thee. |
[4]μὴ γένοιτο· γινέσθω δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἀληθής, πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης, καθὼς γέγραπται, Ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε. |
| [5]But if our iniquity the righteousness of Aloha establisheth, what shall we say? Is Aloha evil, who bringeth his wrath? As a man do I speak. |
[5]εἰ δὲ ἡ ἀδικία ἡμῶν Θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην συνίστησι, τί ἐροῦμεν; μὴ ἄδικος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἐπιφέρων τὴν ὀργήν; κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω |
| [6]Not so; otherwise how shall Aloha judge the world? |
[6]μὴ γένοιτο· ἐπεὶ πῶς κρινεῖ ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον; |
| [7]For if the truth of Aloha is promoted by my lie unto his glory, why then am I judged as a sinner? |
[7]εἰ γὰρ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ἐμῷ ψεύσματι ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, τί ἔτι κἀγὼ ὡς ἁμαρτωλὸς κρίνομαι; |
| [8]Or why, as certain blaspheme concerning us, affirming that we say, Let us do evil, that good may come? they, whose condemnation is reserved by justice. |
[8]καὶ μή καθὼς βλασφημούμεθα, καὶ καθώς φασί τινες ἡμᾶς λέγειν ὅτι, Ποιήσωμεν τὰ κακὰ ἵνα ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀγαθά; ὧν τὸ κρίμα ἔνδικόν ἐστι. |
| [9]What then, have we attained excellence? [No.] For before we decided of the Jihudoyee and of the Aramoyee that they are all under sin; |
[9]Τί οὖν; προεχόμεθα; οὐ πάντως· προῃτιασάμεθα γὰρ Ἰουδαίους τε καὶ Ἕλληνας πάντας ὑφ’ ἁμαρτίαν εἶναι, |
| [10]As it is written, None is righteous, not one. |
[10]καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι Οὐκ ἔστι δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς· |
| [11]None understandeth or seeketh Aloha. |
[11]οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ συνίων, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὸν Θεόν· |
| [12]All have declined together and are reprobate, and there is none that doeth good, not one. |
[12]πάντες ἐξέκλιναν, ἅμα ἠχρειώθησαν· οὐκ ἔστι ποιῶν χρηστότητα, οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός· |
| [13]Open sepulchres are their throats, their tongues have deceived, and the venom of asps is under their lips. |
[13]τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν, ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν· ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν· |
| [14]Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, |
[14]ὧν τὸ στόμα ἀρᾶς καὶ πικρίας γέμει· |
| [15]And their feet are swift to shed blood. |
[15]ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα· |
| [16]Crushing and misery are in their ways; |
[16]σύντριμμα καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν, |
| [17]And the way of peace they have not known; |
[17]καὶ ὁδὸν εἰρήνης οὐκ ἔγνωσαν· |
| [18]And the fear of Aloha is not before their eyes. |
[18]οὐκ ἔστι φόβος Θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν. |
| [19]BUT we know that whatever the law saith, to them who are under the law it saith: that every mouth may be shut, and all the world be guilty unto Aloha. |
[19]Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὅσα ὁ νόμος λέγει, τοῖς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ λαλεῖ, ἵνα πᾶν στόμα φραγῇ, καὶ ὑπόδικος γένηται πᾶς ὁ κόσμος τῷ Θεῷ· |
| [20]Because by the works of the law no flesh is justified before him; for from the law sin is known. |
[20]διότι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· διὰ γὰρ νόμου ἐπίγνωσις ἁμαρτίας. |
| [21]But now, without the law the righteousness of Aloha is revealed, and the law and the prophets [themselves] testify of it. |
[21]νυνὶ δὲ χωρὶς νόμου δικαιοσύνη Θεοῦ πεφανέρωται, μαρτυρουμένη ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν· |
| [22]But the righteousness of Aloha is by faithⓘ of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction: |
[22]δικαιοσύνη δὲ Θεοῦ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς πάντας καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς πιστεύοντας· οὐ γάρ ἐστι διαστολή· |
| [23]For all have sinned, and have failed of the glory of Aloha; |
[23]πάντες γὰρ ἥμαρτον καὶ ὑστεροῦνται τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ, |
| [24]And all are justified by grace freely, and [that] through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha, |
[24]δικαιούμενοι δωρεὰν τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· |
| [25]Whom Aloha before ordained [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, |
[25]ὃν προέθετο ὁ Θεὸς ἱλαστήριον, διὰ τῆς πίστεως, ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ αἵματι, εἰς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὴν πάρεσιν τῶν προγεγονότων ἁμαρτημάτων, ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ Θεοῦ· |
| [26]Within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience, unto the manifestation of his righteousness which [is] in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. |
[26]πρὸς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν δίκαιον καὶ δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ. |
| [27]Where, then, is boasting? It is abolished. By what law? of works? No, but by the law of faith. |
[27]ποῦ οὖν ἡ καύχησις; ἐξεκλείσθη. διὰ ποίου νόμου; τῶν ἔργων; οὐχί, ἀλλὰ διὰ νόμου πίστεως. |
| [28]We comprehend, therefore, that by faith man is justified, and not by the works of the law. |
[28]λογιζόμεθα οὖν πίστει δικαιοῦσθαι ἄνθρωπον, χωρὶς ἔργων νόμου. |
| [29]Is Aloha of the Jihudoyee only, and not of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also. |
[29]ἢ Ἰουδαίων ὁ Θεὸς μόνον; οὐχὶ δὲ καὶ ἐθνῶν; ναὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν· |
| [30]Because one is Aloha, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, also the uncircumcision by the same faith. |
[30]ἐπείπερ εἷς ὁ Θεός, ὃς δικαιώσει περιτομὴν ἐκ πίστεως, καὶ ἀκροβυστίαν διὰ τῆς πίστεως. |
| [31]Do we therefore the law abolish by faith? Not so, but the law itself we establish. |
[31]νόμον οὖν καταργοῦμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως; μὴ γένοιτο· ἀλλὰ νόμον ἱστῶμεν |
