1Ano nga ang kahigitan ng Judio? o ano ang mapapakinabang sa pagtutuli? 2Marami sa anomang paraan: ang una sa lahat, ay ipinagkatiwala sa kanila ang mga aral ng Dios. 3Ano nga kung ang ilan ay hindi nangagsisampalataya? ang di pananampalataya nila ay nagpapawalang halaga baga sa pagtatapat ng Dios? 4Huwag nawang mangyari: oo, bagkus pa nga ang Dios ay tapat, datapuwa't ang bawa't tao'y sinungaling; gaya ng nasusulat, Upang ikaw ay ariing ganap sa iyong mga salita, At makapagtagumpay ka kung ikaw ay mahatulan. 5Datapuwa't kung ang ating kalikuan ay nagbibigay dilag sa katuwiran ng Dios, ano ang ating sasabihin? Liko baga ang Dios na dumadalaw na may poot? (nagsasalita akong ayon sa pagkatao.) 6Huwag nawang mangyari: sapagka't kung gayo'y paanong paghatol ng Dios sa sanglibutan? 7Datapuwa't kung ang katotohanan ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng aking kasinungalingan ay sumagana sa ikaluluwalhati niya, bakit pa naman ako'y hinahatulang tulad sa isang makasalanan? 8At bakit hindi (gaya ng pagkalibak sa atin, at gaya ng pinatotohanan ng ilan na ating sinasabi), Magsigawa tayo ng masama upang dumating ang mabuti? ang kaparusahan sa mga gayon ay matuwid. 9Ano nga? tayo baga'y lalong mabuti kay sa kanila? Hindi, sa anomang paraan: sapagka't ating kapuwa isinasakdal na muna ang mga Judio at ang mga Griego, na silang lahat ay nangasa ilalim ng kasalanan; 10Gaya ng nasusulat, Walang matuwid, wala, wala kahit isa; 11Walang nakatatalastas, Walang humahanap sa Dios; 12Silang lahat ay nagsilihis, magkakasamang nawalan ng kasaysayan; Walang gumagawa ng mabuti, wala, wala kahit isa: 13Ang kanilang lalamunan ay isang libingang bukas; Nagsigamit ng daya sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga dila: Ang kamandag ng mga ulupong ang siyang nasa ilalim ng kanilang mga labi: 14Ang kanilang bibig ay puno ng panunumpa at ng kapaitan: 15Ang kanilang mga paa ay matulin sa pagbububo ng dugo; 16Kagibaan at kahirapan ang nasa kanilang mga daan; 17At ang daan ng kapayapaan ay hindi nila nakilala; 18Walang pagkatakot sa Dios sa harap ng kanilang mga mata. 19Ngayon ay nalalaman natin na ang anomang sinasabi ng kautusan, yaon ay sinasabi sa nangasa ilalim ng kautusan; upang matikom ang bawa't bibig, at ang buong sanglibutan ay mapasa ilalim ng hatol ng Dios: 20Sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng mga gawa ng kautusan ay walang laman na aariing-ganap sa paningin niya; sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng kautusan ay ang pagkakilala ng kasalanan. 21Datapuwa't ngayon bukod sa kautusan ay ipinahahayag ang isang katuwiran ng Dios, na sinasaksihan ng kautusan at ng mga propeta; 22Sa makatuwid baga'y ang katuwiran ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kay Jesucristo sa lahat ng mga nagsisisampalataya; sapagka't walang pagkakaiba; 23Sapagka't ang lahat ay nangagkasala nga, at hindi nangakaabot sa kaluwalhatian ng Dios; 24Palibhasa'y inaring-ganap na walang bayad ng kaniyang biyaya sa pamamagitan ng pagtubos na nasa kay Cristo Jesus: 25Na siyang inilagay ng Dios na maging pangpalubagloob, sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, sa kaniyang dugo, upang maipakilala ang kaniyang katuwiran dahil sa hindi pagpansin sa mga kasalanan na nagawa nang nagdaang panahon sa pagpapahinuhod ng Dios; 26Sa pagpapakilala'y aking sinasabi, ng kaniyang katuwiran sa panahong kasalukuyan, upang siya'y maging ganap at tagaaring-ganap sa may pananampalataya kay Cristo. 27Kaya nga saan naroon ang pagmamapuri? Ito'y inihiwalay na. Sa pamamagitan ng anong kautusan? ng mga gawa? Hindi: kundi sa pamamagitan ng kautusan ng pananampalataya. 28Kaya nga maipasisiya natin na ang tao ay inaaring-ganap sa pananampalataya na hiwalay sa mga gawa ng kautusan. 29O ang Dios baga ay Dios ng mga Judio lamang? hindi baga siya ang Dios din ng mga Gentil? Oo, ng mga Gentil din naman: 30Kung gayon nga na iisa ang Dios, at kaniyang aariing-ganap ang pagtutuli sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, at ang di pagtutuli sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya. 31Niwawalan kaya nating kabuluhan ang kautusan sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya? Huwag nawang mangyari: kundi pinagtitibay pa nga natin ang kautusan.
1Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision? 2Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God? 4May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.” 5But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do. 6May it never be! For then how will God judge the world? 7For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let us do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned. 9What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. 10As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one. 11There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 12They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.” 13“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips”; 14“whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15“Their feet are swift to shed blood. 16Destruction and misery are in their ways. 17The way of peace, they haven’t known.” 18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19Now 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. 20Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin. 21But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets; 22even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction, 23for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; 25whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance; 26to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus. 27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith. 31Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
1Welk is dan het voordeel van den Jood? Of welk is de nuttigheid der besnijdenis? 2Vele in alle manier; want dit is wel het eerste, dat hun de Woorden Gods zijn toebetrouwd. 3Want wat is het, al zijn sommigen ongelovig geweest? Zal hun ongelovigheid het geloof van God te niet doen? 4Dat zij verre. Doch God zij waarachtig, maar alle mens leugenachtig; gelijk als geschreven is: Opdat Gij gerechtvaardigd wordt in Uw woorden, en overwint, wanneer Gij oordeelt. 5Indien nu onze ongerechtigheid Gods gerechtigheid bevestigt, wat zullen wij zeggen? Is God onrechtvaardig, als Hij toorn over ons brengt? (Ik spreek naar den mens.) 6Dat zij verre, anderszins hoe zal God de wereld oordelen? 7Want indien de waarheid Gods door mijn leugen overvloediger is geworden, tot Zijn heerlijkheid, wat word ik ook nog als een zondaar geoordeeld? 8En zeggen wij niet liever (gelijk wij gelasterd worden, en gelijk sommigen zeggen, dat wij zeggen): Laat ons het kwade doen, opdat het goede daaruit kome? Welker verdoemenis rechtvaardig is. 9Wat dan? Zijn wij uitnemender? Ganselijk niet; want wij hebben te voren beschuldigd beiden Joden en Grieken, dat zij allen onder de zonde zijn; 10Gelijk geschreven is: Er is niemand rechtvaardig, ook niet een; 11Er is niemand, die verstandig is, er is niemand, die God zoekt. 12Allen zijn zij afgeweken, te zamen zijn zij onnut geworden; er is niemand, die goed doet, er is ook niet tot een toe. 13Hun keel is een geopend graf; met hun tongen plegen zij bedrog; slangenvenijn is onder hun lippen. 14Welker mond vol is van vervloeking en bitterheid; 15Hun voeten zijn snel om bloed te vergieten; 16Vernieling en ellendigheid is in hun wegen; 17En den weg des vredes hebben zij niet gekend. 18Er is geen vreze Gods voor hun ogen. 19Wij weten nu, dat al wat de wet zegt, zij dat spreekt tot degenen, die onder de wet zijn; opdat alle mond gestopt worde en de gehele wereld voor God verdoemelijk zij. 20Daarom zal uit de werken der wet geen vlees gerechtvaardigd worden, voor Hem; want door de wet is de kennis der zonde. 21Maar nu is de rechtvaardigheid Gods geopenbaard geworden zonder de wet, hebbende getuigenis van de wet en de profeten: 22Namelijk de rechtvaardigheid Gods door het geloof van Jezus Christus, tot allen, en over allen, die geloven; want er is geen onderscheid. 23Want zij hebben allen gezondigd, en derven de heerlijkheid Gods; 24En worden om niet gerechtvaardigd, uit Zijn genade, door de verlossing, die in Christus Jezus is; 25Welken God voorgesteld heeft tot een verzoening, door het geloof in Zijn bloed, tot een betoning van Zijn rechtvaardigheid, door de vergeving der zonden, die te voren geschied zijn onder de verdraagzaamheid Gods; 26Tot een betoning van Zijn rechtvaardigheid in dezen tegenwoordigen tijd; opdat Hij rechtvaardig zij, en rechtvaardigende dengene, die uit het geloof van Jezus is. 27Waar is dan de roem? Hij is uitgesloten. Door wat wet? Der werken? Neen, maar door de wet des geloofs. 28Wij besluiten dan, dat de mens door het geloof gerechtvaardigd wordt, zonder de werken der wet. 29Is God een God der Joden alleen? en is Hij het niet ook der heidenen? Ja, ook der heidenen; 30Nademaal Hij een enig God is, Die de besnijdenis rechtvaardigen zal uit het geloof, en de voorhuid door het geloof. 31Doen wij dan de wet te niet door het geloof? Dat zij verre; maar wij bevestigen de wet.
