| 3:1 | What thanne is more to a Jew, or what profit of circumcisioun? |
| 3:2 | Myche bi al wise; first, for the spekyngis of God `weren bitakun to hem. |
| 3:3 | And what if summe of hem bileueden not? Whethir the vnbileue of hem hath auoidid the feith of God? |
| 3:4 | God forbede. For God is sothefast, but ech man a liere; as it is writun, That thou be iustified in thi wordis, and ouercome, whanne thou art demed. |
| 3:5 | But if oure wickidnesse comende the riytwisnesse of God, what shulen we seie? Whether God is wickid, that bryngith in wraththe? |
| 3:6 | Aftir man Y seie. God forbede. Ellis hou schal God deme this world? |
| 3:7 | For if the treuthe of God hath aboundid in my lessyng, in to the glorie of hym, what yit am Y demed as a synner? |
| 3:8 | And not as we ben blasfemed, and as summen seien that we seien, Do we yuele thingis, that gode thingis come. Whos dampnacioun is iust. |
| 3:9 | What thanne? Passen we hem? Nay; for we han schewid bi skile, that alle bothe Jewis and Grekis ben vndur synne, |
| 3:10 | as it is writun, For ther is no man iust; |
| 3:11 | ther is no man vndurstondynge, nethir sekynge God. |
| 3:12 | Alle bowiden a wey, togidere thei ben maad vnprofitable; ther is noon that doith good thing, there is noon `til to oon. |
| 3:13 | The throte of hem is an opyn sepulcre; with her tungis thei diden gilefuli; the venym of snakis is vndur her lippis. |
| 3:14 | The mouth of whiche is ful of cursyng and bitternesse; |
| 3:15 | the feet of hem ben swifte to schede blood. |
| 3:16 | Sorewe and cursidnesse ben in the weies of hem, and thei knewen not the weie of pees; |
| 3:17 | 17"> |
| 3:18 | the drede of God is not bifor her iyen. |
| 3:19 | And we witen, that what euere thingis the lawe spekith, it spekith to hem that ben in the lawe, that ech mouth be stoppid, and ech world be maad suget to God. |
| 3:20 | For of the werkis of the lawe ech fleisch schal not be iustified bifor hym; for bi the lawe ther is knowyng of synne. |
| 3:21 | But now with outen the lawe the riytwisnesse of God is schewid, that is witnessid of the lawe and the profetis. |
| 3:22 | And the riytwisnesse of God is bi the feith of Jhesu Crist in to alle men and on alle men that bileuen in hym; for ther is no departyng. |
| 3:23 | For alle men synneden, and han nede to the glorie of God; |
| 3:24 | and ben iustified freli bi his grace, bi the ayenbiyng that is in `Crist Jhesu. |
| 3:25 | Whom God ordeynede foryyuer, bi feith in his blood, to the schewyng of his riytwisnesse, for remyssioun of biforgoynge synnes, |
| 3:26 | in the beryng up of God, to the schewyng of his riytwisnesse in this tyme, that he be iust, and iustifyynge hym that is of the feith of Jhesu Crist. |
| 3:27 | Where thanne is thi gloriyng? It is excludid. Bi what lawe? Of dedis doyng? Nay, but by the lawe of feith. |
| 3:28 | For we demen a man to be iustified bi the feith, with outen werkis of the lawe. |
| 3:29 | Whethir of Jewis is God oneli? Whether he is not also of hethene men? Yhis, and of hethene men. |
| 3:30 | For `oon God is, that iustefieth circumcisioun bi feith, and prepucie bi feith. |
| 3:31 | Distruye we therfor the lawe bi the feith? God forbede; but we stablischen the lawe. |
| 3:1 | What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God. |
| 3:3 | For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect? |
| 3:4 | God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged. |
| 3:5 | Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.) |
| 3:6 | God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world? |
| 3:7 | For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner? |
| 3:8 | And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust. |
| 3:9 | What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne, |
| 3:10 | As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one. |
| 3:11 | There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God. |
| 3:12 | They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. |
| 3:13 | Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes. |
| 3:14 | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse. |
| 3:15 | Their feete are swift to shead blood. |
| 3:16 | Destruction and calamity are in their waies, |
| 3:17 | And ye way of peace they haue not knowen. |
| 3:18 | The feare of God is not before their eies. |
| 3:19 | Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God. |
| 3:20 | Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne. |
| 3:21 | But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets, |
| 3:22 | To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue. |
| 3:23 | For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God, |
| 3:24 | And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus, |
| 3:25 | Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed, |
| 3:26 | Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus. |
| 3:27 | Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith. |
| 3:28 | Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe. |
| 3:29 | God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also. |
| 3:30 | For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith. |
| 3:31 | Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe. |
| 3:1 | What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? |
| 3:2 | Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. |
| 3:3 | Because, what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
| 3:4 | God forbid! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, and may overcome when You are judged." |
| 3:5 | But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) |
| 3:6 | God forbid! Because then how will God judge the world? |
| 3:7 | Because, if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? |
| 3:8 | So why not just say, "Let us do evil that good may come," As we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say? Their damnation is just. |
| 3:9 | What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. Because we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. |
| 3:10 | As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; |
| 3:11 | There is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. |
| 3:12 | They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one." |
| 3:13 | "Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit"; "The poison of asps is under their lips"; |
| 3:14 | "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness." |
| 3:15 | "Their feet are swift to shed blood; |
| 3:16 | destruction and misery are in their ways; |
| 3:17 | and the way of peace they have not known." |
| 3:18 | "There is no reverence of God before their eyes." |
| 3:19 | Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. |
| 3:20 | Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, because by the law is the knowledge of sin. |
| 3:21 | But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, |
| 3:22 | even the righteousness of God, which is by the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and on all those who believe. Because there is no difference; |
| 3:23 | because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, |
| 3:24 | being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, |
| 3:25 | whom God foreordained to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, for the remission of sins that were previously committed, through the forbearance of God; |
| 3:26 | to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who believes in Jesus. |
| 3:27 | Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. |
| 3:28 | Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. |
| 3:29 | Is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, |
| 3:30 | since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. |
| 3:31 | Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid! On the contrary, we establish the law. |
