For, all, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

Even as it is written - there is none righteous, not even one,

But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God hath been manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets, -

Being declared righteous freely by his favour through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: -

Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him, - through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing-by of the previously committed sins,

Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.

What then? do we screen ourselves? Not at all! For we have before accused both Jews and Greeks of being, all under sin;

A righteousness of God, through faith in JesusChrist, unto all that have faith; for there is no distinction, -

For we reckon that a man is to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

Far be it! Else how shall God judge the world?

Far be it! But let, God, prove to be, true, albeit, every man, be false! Even as it is written - That thou mightest be declared righteous in thy words, and overcome when thou art in judgment.

What, then, is the preeminence of the Jew? Or what, the profit of his circumcision?

But, if, the truth of God, by my falsehood, hath the more abounded unto his glory, why, any longer, am, even I, as a sinner, to be judged?

Do we then make, law, void through means of our faith? Far be it! On the contrary, law, we do establish!

Whose mouth, of cursing and bitterness, is full,

A sepulchre opened, is their throat, with their tongues, have they used deceit, the poison of asps, is under their lips,

And, the way of peace, have they not known:

Destruction and misery, are in their ways,

Swift, are their feet to shed blood;

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

If, at all events, God is one, who will declare righteous - the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through their faith.

Or, is God the God, of Jews only, and not of the nations also? Yea! of the nations also: -

Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:

In the forbearance of God, - with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

There is none that discerneth, There is none that seeketh out God:

Much, every way: - First, indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?

All, have turned aside, together, have become useless, There is none that doeth kindness, not so much as one:

And why not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us do the bad things, that the good ones may come? whose sentence is, just.

But, if, our unrighteousness, commendeth, God's righteousness, what shall we say? Surely, not unrighteous, is God who visiteth with his anger? After the manner of men, I am speaking, -
