Romans 3

1 What advantage then has the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

aparañca yihūdinaḥ kiṁ śrēṣṭhatvaṁ? tathā tvakchēdasya vā kiṁ phalaṁ?

2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

sarvvathā bahūni phalāni santi, viśēṣata īśvarasya śāstraṁ tēbhyō'dīyata|

3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

kaiścid aviśvasanē kr̥tē tēṣām aviśvasanāt kim īśvarasya viśvāsyatāyā hānirutpatsyatē?

4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, (logos) and might overcome when you are judged.

kēnāpi prakārēṇa nahi| yadyapi sarvvē manuṣyā mithyāvādinastathāpīśvaraḥ satyavādī| śāstrē yathā likhitamāstē, atastvantu svavākyēna nirddōṣō hi bhaviṣyasi| vicārē caiva niṣpāpō bhaviṣyasi na saṁśayaḥ|

5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who takes vengeance? (I speak as a man)

asmākam anyāyēna yadīśvarasya nyāyaḥ prakāśatē tarhi kiṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ? ahaṁ mānuṣāṇāṁ kathāmiva kathāṁ kathayāmi, īśvaraḥ samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ dattvā kim anyāyī bhaviṣyati?

6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

itthaṁ na bhavatu, tathā satīśvaraḥ kathaṁ jagatō vicārayitā bhaviṣyati?

7 For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

mama mithyāvākyavadanād yadīśvarasya satyatvēna tasya mahimā varddhatē tarhi kasmādahaṁ vicārē'parādhitvēna gaṇyō bhavāmi?

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.

maṅgalārthaṁ pāpamapi karaṇīyamiti vākyaṁ tvayā kutō nōcyatē? kintu yairucyatē tē nitāntaṁ daṇḍasya pātrāṇi bhavanti; tathāpi tadvākyam asmābhirapyucyata ityasmākaṁ glāniṁ kurvvantaḥ kiyantō lōkā vadanti|

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;

anyalōkēbhyō vayaṁ kiṁ śrēṣṭhāḥ? kadācana nahi yatō yihūdinō 'nyadēśinaśca sarvvaēva pāpasyāyattā ityasya pramāṇaṁ vayaṁ pūrvvam adadāma|

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

lipi ryathāstē, naikōpi dhārmmikō janaḥ|

11 There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God.

tathā jñānīśvarajñānī mānavaḥ kōpi nāsti hi|

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become useless; there is none that does good, no, not one.

vimārgagāminaḥ sarvvē sarvvē duṣkarmmakāriṇaḥ| ēkō janōpi nō tēṣāṁ sādhukarmma karōti ca|

13 Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

tathā tēṣāntu vai kaṇṭhā anāvr̥taśmaśānavat| stutivādaṁ prakurvvanti jihvābhistē tu kēvalaṁ| tēṣāmōṣṭhasya nimnē tu viṣaṁ tiṣṭhati sarppavat|

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

mukhaṁ tēṣāṁ hi śāpēna kapaṭēna ca pūryyatē|

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

raktapātāya tēṣāṁ tu padāni kṣipragāni ca|

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

pathi tēṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ nāśaḥ klēśaśca kēvalaḥ|

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

tē janā nahi jānanti panthānaṁ sukhadāyinaṁ|

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

paramēśād bhayaṁ yattat taccakṣuṣōragōcaraṁ|

19 Now we know that what things whatsoever the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

vyavasthāyāṁ yadyallikhati tad vyavasthādhīnān lōkān uddiśya likhatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| tatō manuṣyamātrō niruttaraḥ san īśvarasya sākṣād aparādhī bhavati|

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.

ataēva vyavasthānurūpaiḥ karmmabhiḥ kaścidapi prāṇīśvarasya sākṣāt sapuṇyīkr̥tō bhavituṁ na śakṣyati yatō vyavasthayā pāpajñānamātraṁ jāyatē|

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

kintu vyavasthāyāḥ pr̥thag īśvarēṇa dēyaṁ yat puṇyaṁ tad vyavasthāyā bhaviṣyadvādigaṇasya ca vacanaiḥ pramāṇīkr̥taṁ sad idānīṁ prakāśatē|

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:

yīśukhrīṣṭē viśvāsakaraṇād īśvarēṇa dattaṁ tat puṇyaṁ sakalēṣu prakāśitaṁ sat sarvvān viśvāsinaḥ prati varttatē|

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

tēṣāṁ kōpi prabhēdō nāsti, yataḥ sarvvaēva pāpina īśvarīyatējōhīnāśca jātāḥ|

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

ta īśvarasyānugrahād mūlyaṁ vinā khrīṣṭakr̥tēna paritrāṇēna sapuṇyīkr̥tā bhavanti|

25 Whom God has 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;

yasmāt svaśōṇitēna viśvāsāt pāpanāśakō balī bhavituṁ sa ēva pūrvvam īśvarēṇa niścitaḥ, ittham īśvarīyasahiṣṇutvāt purākr̥tapāpānāṁ mārjjanakaraṇē svīyayāthārthyaṁ tēna prakāśyatē,

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.

varttamānakālīyamapi svayāthārthyaṁ tēna prakāśyatē, aparaṁ yīśau viśvāsinaṁ sapuṇyīkurvvannapi sa yāthārthikastiṣṭhati|

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

tarhi kutrātmaślāghā? sā dūrīkr̥tā; kayā vyavasthayā? kiṁ kriyārūpavyavasthayā? itthaṁ nahi kintu tat kēvalaviśvāsarūpayā vyavasthayaiva bhavati|

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

ataēva vyavasthānurūpāḥ kriyā vinā kēvalēna viśvāsēna mānavaḥ sapuṇyīkr̥tō bhavituṁ śaknōtītyasya rāddhāntaṁ darśayāmaḥ|

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

sa kiṁ kēvalayihūdinām īśvarō bhavati? bhinnadēśinām īśvarō na bhavati? bhinnadēśināmapi bhavati;

30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

yasmād ēka īśvarō viśvāsāt tvakchēdinō viśvāsēnātvakchēdinaśca sapuṇyīkariṣyati|

31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

tarhi viśvāsēna vayaṁ kiṁ vyavasthāṁ lumpāma? itthaṁ na bhavatu vayaṁ vyavasthāṁ saṁsthāpayāma ēva|
