Paul’s Letter to the Romans
capítulo 3
verso 1
Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
verso 2
Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
verso 3
For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
verso 4
May 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.”
verso 5
But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
verso 6
May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
verso 7
For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
verso 8
Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
verso 9
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
verso 10
As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
verso 11
There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
verso 12
They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
verso 13
“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
verso 14
“Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
verso 15
“Their feet are swift to shed blood.
verso 16
Destruction and misery are in their ways.
verso 17
The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
verso 18
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
verso 19
Now 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.
verso 20
Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
verso 21
But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
verso 22
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
verso 23
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
verso 24
being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
verso 25
whom 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;
verso 26
to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
verso 27
Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
verso 28
We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
verso 29
Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
verso 30
since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
verso 31
Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
