Romans 3
Deus Permanece Fiel
1
How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in
circumcision?
2
Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to
them.
3
And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without
effect?
4
In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue as
it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to
be right when you are judged.
5
But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to
be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?
6
In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all
the world?
7
But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory,
why am I to be judged as a sinner?
8
Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are
falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.
Ninguém é Justo
9
What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before
made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin
10
As it is said in the holy Writings, There is not one who does
righteousness
11
Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher
after God
12
They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them
there is not one who does good, not so much as one:
13
Their throat is like an open place of death with their tongues they have
said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:
14
Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:
15
Their feet are quick in running after blood
16
Destruction and trouble are in their ways
17
And of the way of peace they have no knowledge:
18
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19
Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under
the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:
20
Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in
his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Justificação pela Fé
21
But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of
God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets
22
That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all
those who have faith and one man is not different from another,
23
For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God
24
And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his
grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:
25
Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his
blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times
go without punishment
26
And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be
upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.
27
What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of
law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28
For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the
works of the law.
29
Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of
Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:
30
If God is one and he will give righteousness because of faith to those
who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.
31
Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we
make it clear that the law is important.
