9 Τί What οὖν; therefore? προεχόμεθα; Are we having selves before? οὐ Not πάντως, at all, προῃτιασάμεθα we previously accused γὰρ for Ἰουδαίους Jews τε and καὶ and Ἕλληνας Greeks πάντας all ὑφ’ under ἁμαρτίαν sin εἶναι, to be, 10 καθὼς according as γέγραπται it has been written ὅτι that Οὐκ Not ἔστιν is δίκαιος righteous οὐδὲ not-but εἷς, one, 11 οὐκ not ἔστιν is συνίων, (one) comprehending, οὐκ not ἔστιν is ἐκζητῶν seeking out τὸν the θεόν· God; 12 πάντες all ἐξέκλιναν, they inclined out, ἅμα together ἠχρεώθησαν· they became useless; οὐκ not ἔστιν is ποιῶν (one) doing χρηστότητα, kindness, οὐκ not ἔστιν is ἕως until ἑνός. one. 13 τάφος Grave ἀνεῳγμένος having been opened up ὁ the λάρυγξ throat αὐτῶν, of them, ταῖς to the γλώσσαις tongues αὐτῶν of them ἐδολιοῦσαν, they deceived, ἰὸς poison ἀσπίδων of asps ὑπὸ under τὰ the χείλη lips αὐτῶν, of them, 14 ὧν of whom τὸ the στόμα mouth ἀρᾶς of cursing καὶ and πικρίας bitterness γέμει· is full; 15 ὀξεῖς sharp οἱ the πόδες feet αὐτῶν of them ἐκχέαι to pour out αἷμα, blood, 16 σύντριμμα crushing καὶ and ταλαιπωρία misery ἐν in ταῖς the ὁδοῖς ways αὐτῶν, of them, 17 καὶ and ὁδὸν way εἰρήνης of peace οὐκ not ἔγνωσαν. they knew. 18 οὐκ Not ἔστιν is φόβος fear θεοῦ of God ἀπέναντι from in front τῶν of the ὀφθαλμῶν eyes αὐτῶν. of them.

19 Οἴδαμεν We have known δὲ but ὅτι that ὅσα as many (things) as ὁ the νόμος Law λέγει is saying τοῖς to the (ones) ἐν in τῷ the νόμῳ Law λαλεῖ, it is speaking, ἵνα in order that πᾶν every στόμα mouth φραγῇ might be fenced up καὶ and ὑπόδικος subject to punishment γένηται should become πᾶς all ὁ the κόσμος world τῷ to the θεῷ· God; 20 διότι through which ἐξ out of ἔργων works νόμου of law οὐ not δικαιωθήσεται will be justified πᾶσα all σὰρξ flesh ἐνώπιον in sight αὐτοῦ, of him, διὰ through γὰρ for νόμου of law ἐπίγνωσις accurate knowledge ἁμαρτίας. of sin.

21 νυνὶ Now δὲ but χωρὶς without νόμου law δικαιοσύνη righteousness θεοῦ of God πεφανέρωται, has been made manifest, μαρτυρουμένη being witnessed about ὑπὸ by τοῦ the νόμου Law καὶ and τῶν the προφητῶν, Prophets, 22 δικαιοσύνη righteousness δὲ but θεοῦ of God διὰ through πίστεως faith Ἰησοῦ of Jesus Χριστοῦ, Christ, εἰς into πάντας all τοὺς the πιστεύοντας, (ones) believing, οὐ not γάρ for ἐστιν it is διαστολή. distinction. 23 πάντες All γὰρ for ἥμαρτον they sinned καὶ and ὑστεροῦνται they are coming behind τῆς of the δόξης glory τοῦ of the θεοῦ, God, 24 δικαιούμενοι being justified δωρεὰν (as) free gift τῇ to the αὐτοῦ of him χάριτι undeserved kindness διὰ through τῆς the ἀπολυτρώσεως release by ransom τῆς of the ἐν in Χριστῷ Christ Ἰησοῦ· Jesus; 25 ὃν whom προέθετο set forth ὁ the θεὸς God ἱλαστήριον propitiatory διὰ through πίστεως faith ἐν in τῷ the αὐτοῦ of him αἵματι blood εἰς into ἔνδειξιν showing within τῆς of the δικαιοσύνης righteousness αὐτοῦ of him διὰ through τὴν the πάρεσιν letting go beside τῶν of the προγεγονότων having previously occurred ἁμαρτημάτων sins 26 ἐν in τῇ the ἀνοχῇ forbearance τοῦ of the θεοῦ, God, πρὸς toward τὴν the ἔνδειξιν showing within τῆς of the δικαιοσύνης righteousness αὐτοῦ of him ἐν in τῷ the νῦν now καιρῷ, appointed time, εἰς into τὸ the εἶναι to be αὐτὸν him δίκαιον righteous καὶ and δικαιοῦντα justifying τὸν the (one) ἐκ out of πίστεως faith Ἰησοῦ. of Jesus.

27 Ποῦ Where οὖν therefore ἡ the καύχησις; boasting? ἐξεκλείσθη. It was shut out. διὰ Through ποίου what sort of νόμου; law? τῶν Of the ἔργων; works? οὐχί, No, ἀλλὰ but διὰ through νόμου law πίστεως. of faith. 28 λογιζόμεθα We are reckoning γὰρ for δικαιοῦσθαι to be being justified πίστει to faith ἄνθρωπον man χωρὶς apart from ἔργων works νόμου. of law. 29 ἢ Or Ἰουδαίων of Jews ὁ the θεὸς God μόνον; only? οὐχὶ Not καὶ also ἐθνῶν; of nations? ναὶ Yes καὶ also ἐθνῶν, of nations, 30 εἴπερ if even εἷς one ὁ the θεός, God, ὃς who δικαιώσει will justify περιτομὴν circumcision ἐκ out of πίστεως faith καὶ and ἀκροβυστίαν uncircumcision διὰ through τῆς the πίστεως. faith. 31 νόμον Law οὖν therefore καταργοῦμεν we are making ineffective διὰ through τῆς the πίστεως; faith? μὴ Not γένοιτο, may it occur, ἀλλὰ but νόμον law ἱστάνομεν. we are establishing.
