2 STV πολὺ κατὰ πάντα τρόπον πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ὅτι ἐπιστεύθησαν τὰ λόγια τοῦ θεοῦ BSB BSB: Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
3 STV τί γὰρ εἰ ἠπίστησάν τινες μὴ ἡ ἀπιστία αὐτῶν τὴν πίστιν τοῦ θεοῦ καταργήσει BSB BSB: What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
4 STV 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 BSB BSB: Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
5 STV εἰ δὲ ἡ ἀδικία ἡμῶν θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην συνίστησιν τί ἐροῦμεν μὴ ἄδικος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐπιφέρων τὴν ὀργήν κατὰ ἄνθρωπον λέγω BSB BSB: But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
6 STV μὴ γένοιτο· ἐπεὶ πῶς κρινεῖ ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον BSB BSB: Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
7 STV εἰ γὰρ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ἐμῷ ψεύσματι ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ τί ἔτι κἀγὼ ὡς ἁμαρτωλὸς κρίνομαι BSB BSB: However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
8 STV καὶ μὴ καθὼς βλασφημούμεθα καὶ καθώς φασίν τινες ἡμᾶς λέγειν ὅτι Ποιήσωμεν τὰ κακὰ ἵνα ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀγαθά ὧν τὸ κρίμα ἔνδικόν ἐστιν BSB BSB: Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
9 STV Τί οὖν προεχόμεθα οὐ πάντως· προῃτιασάμεθα γὰρ Ἰουδαίους τε καὶ Ἕλληνας πάντας ὑφ’ ἁμαρτίαν εἶναι BSB BSB: What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
10 STV καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι Οὐκ ἔστιν δίκαιος οὐδὲ εἷς BSB BSB: As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
11 STV οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ συνίων οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἐκζητῶν τὸν θεόν BSB BSB: There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
12 STV πάντες ἐξέκλιναν ἅμα ἠχρειώθησαν· οὐκ ἔστιν ποιῶν χρηστότητα οὐκ ἔστιν ἕως ἑνός BSB BSB: All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 STV τάφος ἀνεῳγμένος ὁ λάρυγξ αὐτῶν ταῖς γλώσσαις αὐτῶν ἐδολιοῦσαν ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν· BSB BSB: “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
14 STV ὧν τὸ στόμα ἀρᾶς καὶ πικρίας γέμει BSB BSB: “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 STV ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα BSB BSB: “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 STV σύντριμμα καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν BSB BSB: ruin and misery lie in their wake,
17 STV καὶ ὁδὸν εἰρήνης οὐκ ἔγνωσαν BSB BSB: and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 STV οὐκ ἔστιν φόβος θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν BSB BSB: “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 STV Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι ὅσα ὁ νόμος λέγει τοῖς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ λαλεῖ ἵνα πᾶν στόμα φραγῇ καὶ ὑπόδικος γένηται πᾶς ὁ κόσμος τῷ θεῷ· BSB BSB: 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 STV διότι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ διὰ γὰρ νόμου ἐπίγνωσις ἁμαρτίας BSB BSB: Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
22 STV δικαιοσύνη δὲ θεοῦ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς πάντας καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς πιστεύοντας οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολή BSB BSB: And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
24 STV δικαιούμενοι δωρεὰν τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ· BSB BSB: and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
26 STV ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν δίκαιον καὶ δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ BSB BSB: He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
29 STV ἢ Ἰουδαίων ὁ θεὸς μόνον οὐχὶ δὲ καὶ ἐθνῶν ναὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν BSB BSB: Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
30 STV ἐπείπερ εἷς ὁ θεός ὃς δικαιώσει περιτομὴν ἐκ πίστεως καὶ ἀκροβυστίαν διὰ τῆς πίστεως BSB BSB: since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
