Rm 3 (King James)

   ¹ What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? ² Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. ³ For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? ⁴ God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. ⁵ But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) ⁶ God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? ⁷ For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? ⁸ And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. ⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; ¹⁰ As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: ¹¹ There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. ¹² They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. ¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: ¹⁵ Their feet are swift to shed blood: ¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways: ¹⁷ And the way of peace have they not known: ¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.
   ¹⁹ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. ²⁰ Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ²² Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: ²³ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ²⁴ Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵ Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; ²⁶ To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. ²⁷ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. ²⁸ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. ²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: ³⁰ Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. ³¹ Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Rm 3 (Vulgate)

   ¹ Quid ergo amplius Judæo est ? aut quæ utilitas circumcisionis ?
   ² Multum per omnem modum. Primum quidem quia credita sunt illis eloquia Dei.
   ³ Quid enim si quidam illorum non crediderunt ? numquid incredulitas illorum fidem Dei evacuabit ? Absit.
   ⁴ Est autem Deus verax : omnis autem homo mendax, sicut scriptum est : [Ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis :
et vincas cum judicaris.]
   ⁵ Si autem iniquitas nostra justitiam Dei commendat, quid dicemus ? Numquid iniquus est Deus, qui infert iram ?
   ⁶ secundum hominem dico. Absit. Alioquin quomodo judicabit Deus hunc mundum ?
   ⁷ Si enim veritas Dei in meo mendacio abundavit in gloriam ipsius : quid adhuc et ego tamquam peccator judicor ?
   ⁸ et non (sicut blasphemamur, et sicut aiunt quidam nos dicere) faciamus mala ut veniant bona : quorum damnatio justa est.
   ⁹ Quid ergo ? præcellimus eos ? Nequaquam. Causati enim sumus Judæos et Græcos omnes sub peccato esse,
   ¹⁰ sicut scriptum est : [Quia non est justus quisquam :
   ¹¹ non est intelligens, non est requirens Deum.
   ¹² Omnes declinaverunt, simul inutiles facti sunt :
non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
   ¹³ Sepulchrum patens est guttur eorum,
linguis suis dolose agebant :
venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum :
   ¹⁴ quorum os maledictione, et amaritudine plenum est :
   ¹⁵ veloces pedes eorum ad effundendum sanguinem :
   ¹⁶ contritio et infelicitas in viis eorum :
   ¹⁷ et viam pacis non cognoverunt :
   ¹⁸ non est timor Dei ante oculos eorum.]
   ¹⁹ Scimus autem quoniam quæcumque lex loquitur, iis, qui in lege sunt, loquitur : ut omne os obstruatur, et subditus fiat omnis mundus Deo :
   ²⁰ quia ex operibus legis non justificabitur omnis caro coram illo. Per legem enim cognitio peccati.
   ²¹ Nunc autem sine lege justitia Dei manifestata est : testificata a lege et prophetis.
   ²² Justitia autem Dei per fidem Jesu Christi in omnes et super omnes qui credunt in eum : non enim est distinctio :
   ²³ omnes enim peccaverunt, et egent gloria Dei.
   ²⁴ Justificati gratis per gratiam ipsius, per redemptionem quæ est in Christo Jesu,
   ²⁵ quem proposuit Deus propitiationem per fidem in sanguine ipsius, ad ostensionem justitiæ suæ propter remissionem præcedentium delictorum
   ²⁶ in sustentatione Dei, ad ostensionem justitiæ ejus in hoc tempore : ut sit ipse justus, et justificans eum, qui est ex fide Jesu Christi.
   ²⁷ Ubi est ergo gloriatio tua ? Exclusa est. Per quam legem ? Factorum ? Non : sed per legem fidei.
   ²⁸ Arbitramur enim justificari hominem per fidem sine operibus legis.
   ²⁹ An Judæorum Deus tantum ? nonne et gentium ? Immo et gentium :
   ³⁰ quoniam quidem unus est Deus, qui justificat circumcisionem ex fide, et præputium per fidem.
   ³¹ Legem ergo destruimus per fidem ? Absit : sed legem statuimus.
