Fidelidad de Dios
3 Entonces, ¿qué se gana con ser judío, o qué valor tiene la circuncisión? 2 Mucho, desde cualquier punto de vista. En primer lugar, a los judíos se les confiaron las palabras mismas de Dios.
3 Pero entonces, si a algunos les faltó la fe, ¿acaso su falta de fe anula la fidelidad de Dios? 4 ¡De ninguna manera! Dios es siempre veraz, aunque el hombre sea mentiroso. Así está escrito:
«Por eso, eres justo en tu sentencia,
y triunfarás cuando te juzguen».[a]
5 Pero, si nuestra injusticia pone de relieve la justicia de Dios, ¿qué diremos? ¿Que Dios es injusto al descargar sobre nosotros su ira? (Hablo en términos humanos). 6 ¡De ninguna manera! Si así fuera, ¿cómo podría Dios juzgar al mundo? 7 Alguien podría objetar: «Si mi mentira destaca la verdad de Dios y así aumenta su gloria, ¿por qué todavía se me juzga como pecador? 8 ¿Por qué no decir: Hagamos lo malo para que venga lo bueno?» Así nos calumnian algunos, asegurando que eso es lo que enseñamos. ¡Pero bien merecida se tienen la condenación!
No hay un solo justo
9 ¿A qué conclusión llegamos? ¿Acaso los judíos somos mejores? ¡De ninguna manera! Ya hemos demostrado que tanto los judíos como los gentiles están bajo el pecado. 10 Así está escrito:
«No hay un solo justo, ni siquiera uno;
11 no hay nadie que entienda,
nadie que busque a Dios.
12 Todos se han descarriado,
a una se han corrompido.
No hay nadie que haga lo bueno;
¡no hay uno solo!»[b]
13 «Su garganta es un sepulcro abierto;
con su lengua profieren engaños».[c]
«¡Veneno de víbora hay en sus labios!»[d]
14 «Llena está su boca de maldiciones y de amargura».[e]
15 «Veloces son sus pies para ir a derramar sangre;
16 dejan ruina y miseria en sus caminos,
17 y no conocen la senda de la paz».[f]
18 «No hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos».[g]
19 Ahora bien, sabemos que todo lo que dice la ley, lo dice a quienes están sujetos a ella, para que todo el mundo se calle y quede convicto delante de Dios. 20 Por tanto, nadie será justificado en presencia de Dios por hacer las obras que exige la ley; más bien, mediante la ley cobramos conciencia del pecado.
La justicia mediante la fe
21 Pero ahora, sin la mediación de la ley, se ha manifestado la justicia de Dios, de la que dan testimonio la ley y los profetas. 22 Esta justicia de Dios llega, mediante la fe en Jesucristo, a todos los que creen. De hecho, no hay distinción, 23 pues todos han pecado y están privados de la gloria de Dios, 24 pero por su gracia son justificados gratuitamente mediante la redención que Cristo Jesús efectuó.[h] 25 Dios lo ofreció como un sacrificio de expiación[i] que se recibe por la fe en su sangre, para demostrar así su justicia. Anteriormente, en su paciencia, Dios había pasado por alto los pecados; 26 pero en el tiempo presente ha ofrecido a Jesucristo para manifestar su justicia. De este modo, Dios es justo y, a la vez, el que justifica a los que tienen fe en Jesús.
27 ¿Dónde, pues, está la jactancia? Queda excluida. ¿Por cuál principio? ¿Por el de la observancia de la ley? No, sino por el de la fe. 28 Porque sostenemos que todos somos justificados por la fe, y no por las obras que la ley exige. 29 ¿Es acaso Dios solo Dios de los judíos? ¿No lo es también de los gentiles? Sí, también es Dios de los gentiles, 30 pues no hay más que un solo Dios. Él justificará por la fe a los que están circuncidados y, mediante esa misma fe, a los que no lo están. 31 ¿Quiere decir que anulamos la ley con la fe? ¡De ninguna manera! Más bien, confirmamos la ley.

Romans 3
Wycliffe Bible
3 What then is more to a Jew, or what profit of circumcision?
2 Much by all wise [Much by all manner]; first, for the speakings of God were betaken to them.
3 And what if some of them believed not? Whether the unbelief of them hath voided the faith of God?
4 God forbid [Far be it]. For God is soothfast [Forsooth God is true, or soothfast], but each man a liar; as it is written, That thou be justified in thy words, and overcome, when thou art deemed.
5 But if our wickedness [Forsooth if our wickedness, or unequity,] commend the rightwiseness of God, what shall we say? Whether God is wicked, that bringeth in wrath? After man I say.
6 God forbid [Far be it]. Else how shall God deem this world?
7 For if the truth of God hath abounded in my lying, into the glory of him, what [and] yet am I deemed as a sinner?
8 And not as we be blasphemed, and as some say that we say, Do we evil things, that good things come. Whose damnation is just.
9 What then? Surpass we them? Nay; for we have showed by skill, that all both Jews and Greeks be under sin,[a]
10 as it is written, For there is no man just [For there is not any man just];
11 there is no man understanding [there is not a man understanding], neither seeking God.
12 All bowed away, together they be made unprofitable; there is none that doeth good thing, there is none till to one [there is not till to one].
13 The throat of them is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they did guilefully; the venom of snakes is under their lips[b].
14 The mouth of whom is full of cursing and bitterness;
15 the feet of them be swift to shed blood.
16 Sorrow and cursedness be in the ways of them,[c]
17 and they knew not the way of peace;
18 the dread of God is not before their eyes.
19 And we know [Forsooth we know], that whatever things the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that be in the law, that each mouth be stopped, and each world be made subject to God.
20 For of the works of the law each flesh shall not be justified before him; for by the law there is knowing of sin [for by the law is knowing of sin].
21 But now without the law the rightwiseness of God is showed, that is witnessed of the law and the prophets.
22 And the rightwiseness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ into all men and on all men that believe in him; for there is no parting. [Soothly the rightwiseness of God is by the faith of Jesus Christ into all and on all that believe into him; forsooth there is no distinction, or parting.]
23 For all men sinned, and have need to the glory of God;
24 and be justified freely by his grace, by the again-buying that is in Christ Jesus [by the redemption, or the again-buying, that is in Jesus Christ].
25 Whom God ordained forgiver [Whom God purposed an helper], by faith in his blood, to the showing of his rightwiseness, for [the] remission of before-going sins, in the bearing up of God,
26 to the showing of his rightwiseness in this time, that he be just, and justifying him that is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
27 Where then is thy glorying? It is excluded. By what law? Of deeds doing? Nay, but by the law of faith.
28 For we deem a man to be justified by faith, without works of the law.
29 Whether of the Jews is God only? Whether he is not also of heathen men? Yes, and of heathen men.
30 For there is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and prepuce by faith.
31 Destroy we therefore the law by faith? God forbid [Far be it]; but we stablish the law.

God’s Faithfulness
3 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way!(A) First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.(B)
3 What if some were unfaithful?(C) Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?(D) 4 Not at all! Let God be true,(E) and every human being a liar.(F) As it is written:
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(H) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(I) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(J) 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(K) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(L) 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(M) Their condemnation is just!
No One Is Righteous
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?(N) Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.(O) 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”[b](P)
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”[c](Q)
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d](R)
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e](S)
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f](T)
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g](U)
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(V) it says to those who are under the law,(W) so that every mouth may be silenced(X) and the whole world held accountable to God.(Y) 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;(Z) rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.(AA)
Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God(AB) has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.(AC) 22 This righteousness(AD) is given through faith(AE) in[h] Jesus Christ(AF) to all who believe.(AG) There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,(AH) 23 for all have sinned(AI) and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified(AJ) freely by his grace(AK) through the redemption(AL) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[i](AM) through the shedding of his blood(AN)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(AO)— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where, then, is boasting?(AP) It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.(AQ) 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,(AR) 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.(AS) 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
