< Romans 3 >

1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
What preferment then hath the Iewe? other what a vauntageth circumcision?
2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Surely very moche. Fyrst vnto them was committed the worde of God
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
What then though some of them did not beleve? shall their vnbeleve make the promes of god with out effecte?
4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
God forbid. Let god be true and all men lyars as it is written: That thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy sayinge and shuldest overcome when thou arte iudged.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
Yf oure vnrightewesnes make the rightewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnrighteous which taketh vengeauce? I speake after the maner of me.
6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
God forbid. For how then shall God iudge the worlde?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Yf the veritie of God appere moare excellent thorow my lye vnto his prayse why am I hence forth iudged as a synner?
8 And why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
and saye not rather (as men evyll speake of vs and as some affirme that we saye) let vs do evyll that good maye come therof. Whose damnacion is iuste.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
What saye we then? Are we better then they? No in no wyse. For we have all ready proved how that both Iewes and Gentils are all vnder synne
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
as it is writte: There is none righteous no not one:
11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
There is none that vnderstondith there is none yt seketh after God
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
they are all gone out of ye waye they are all made vnprofytable ther is none that doeth good no not one.
13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
Their throte is an open sepulchre with their tounges they have disceaved: the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes.
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
Whose mouthes are full of coursynge and bitternes.
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Their fete are swyfte to sheed bloud.
16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
Destruccion and wretchednes are in their wayes.
17 The way of peace, they have not known."
And the waye of peace they have not knowen.
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
There is no feare 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.
Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued 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.
because that by ye dedes of the lawe shall no flesshe be iustified in the sight of God. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of synne.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
Now verely is ye rigtewesnes that cometh of God declared without the fulfillinge of ye lawe havinge witnes yet of ye lawe and of the Prophetes.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
The rightewesnes no dout which is good before God cometh by ye fayth of Iesus Christ vnto all and vpon all that beleve. Ther is no differece:
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
for all have synned and lacke the prayse yt is of valoure before God:
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
but are iustified frely by his grace through the redemcion that is in Christ Iesu
25 whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
whom God hath made a seate of mercy thorow faith in his bloud to shewe ye rightewesnes which before him is of valoure in yt he forgeveth ye synnes yt are passed which God dyd suffre
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
to shewe at this tyme ye rightewesnes yt is alowed of him yt he myght be couted iuste and a iustifiar of him which belevith on Iesus.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Where is then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? by ye lawe of workes? Naye: but by the lawe of fayth.
28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
For we suppose that a man is iustified by fayth without the dedes of ye lawe.
29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes eve of the Gentyles also.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
For it is God only which iustifieth circumcision which is of fayth and vncircumcision thorow fayth.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
Do we then destroye the lawe thorow fayth? God forbid. But we rather mayntayne the lawe.
