World English Bible (with Deuterocanon)
“that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.” 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. 6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world? 7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 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. 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. 10 As it is written,
“There is no one righteous; no, not one. 11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.” 13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is under their lips.” 14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood. 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways. 17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 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. 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. 21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction, 23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 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; 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. 27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Bible Crampon 1923
Section: B. — Preuve de la justification par la foi en Jésus-Christ.
21 Mais maintenant, sans la Loi, a été manifestée une justice de Dieu à laquelle rendent témoignage la Loi et les Prophètes, 22 justice de Dieu par la foi en Jésus-Christ pour tous ceux et à tous ceux qui croient ; il n’y a point de distinction, 23 car tous ont péché et sont privés de la gloire de Dieu ; 24 et ils sont justifiés gratuitement par sa grâce, par le moyen de la rédemption qui est en Jésus-Christ. 25 C’est lui que Dieu a donné comme victime propitiatoire par son sang moyennant la foi, afin de manifester sa justice, ayant, au temps de sa patience, laissé impunis les péchés précédents, 26 afin, dis-je de manifester sa justice dans le temps présent, de manière à être reconnu juste et justifiant celui qui croit [en Jésus-Christ]. 27 Où est donc la jactance ? Elle est exclue. Par quelle loi ? Par la loi des œuvres ? Non, mais par loi de la foi. 28 Car nous tenons pour certain que l’homme est justifié par la foi, à l’exclusion des œuvres de la Loi. 29 Ou bien Dieu n’est-il que le Dieu des Juifs ? et n’est-il pas aussi le Dieu des Gentils ? 30 Oui, il est aussi le Dieu des Gentils, puisqu’il y a un seul Dieu qui justifiera les circoncis par principe de foi et les incirconcis par la foi. 31 Détruisons-nous donc la Loi par la foi ? Loin de là ! Nous la confirmons, au contraire.Reading settings
