Romans 3
1 WHAT advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
τι ουν το περισσον του ιουδαιου η τις η ωφελεια της περιτομης
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
πολυ κατα παντα τροπον πρωτον μεν γαρ οτι επιστευθησαν τα λογια του θεου
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief 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, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
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 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak 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: for then how shall God judge the world?
μη γενοιτο επει πως κρινει ο θεος τον κοσμον
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged 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 not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, ) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
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 better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
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 ουκ εστιν δικαιος ουδε εις
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
ουκ εστιν ο συνιων ουκ εστιν ο εκζητων τον θεον
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
παντες εξεκλιναν αμα ηχρειωθησαν ουκ εστιν ποιων χρηστοτητα ουκ εστιν εως ενος
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
ταφος ανεωγμενος ο λαρυγξ αυτων ταις γλωσσαις αυτων εδολιουσαν ιος ασπιδων υπο τα χειλη αυτων
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
ων το στομα αρας και πικριας γεμει
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
οξεις οι ποδες αυτων εκχεαι αιμα
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
συντριμμα και ταλαιπωρια εν ταις οδοις αυτων
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
και οδον ειρηνης ουκ εγνωσαν
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
ουκ εστιν φοβος θεου απεναντι των οφθαλμων αυτων
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before 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 deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
διοτι εξ εργων νομου ου δικαιωθησεται πασα σαρξ ενωπιον αυτου δια γαρ νομου επιγνωσις αμαρτιας
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
νυνι δε χωρις νομου δικαιοσυνη θεου πεφανερωται μαρτυρουμενη υπο του νομου και των προφητων
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
δικαιοσυνη δε θεου δια πιστεως ιησου χριστου εις παντας και επι παντας τους πιστευοντας ου γαρ εστιν διαστολη
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
παντες γαρ ημαρτον και υστερουνται της δοξης του θεου
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
δικαιουμενοι δωρεαν τη αυτου χαριτι δια της απολυτρωσεως της εν χριστω ιησου
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
ον προεθετο ο θεος ιλαστηριον δια της πιστεως εν τω αυτου αιματι εις ενδειξιν της δικαιοσυνης αυτου δια την παρεσιν των προγεγονοτων αμαρτηματων εν τη ανοχη του θεου
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
προς ενδειξιν της δικαιοσυνης αυτου εν τω νυν καιρω εις το ειναι αυτον δικαιον και δικαιουντα τον εκ πιστεως ιησου
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law 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 justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
λογιζομεθα ουν πιστει δικαιουσθαι ανθρωπον χωρις εργων νομου
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
η ιουδαιων ο θεος μονον ουχι δε και εθνων ναι και εθνων
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
επειπερ εις ο θεος ος δικαιωσει περιτομην εκ πιστεως και ακροβυστιαν δια της πιστεως
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
νομον ουν καταργουμεν δια της πιστεως μη γενοιτο αλλα νομον ιστωμεν
