1 What then is the advantage of the Judaean? Or of what utility is the circumcision?2 Many by all means: firstly for reason that they have been entrusted with the sayings of Yahweh.3 Therefore, what if some of them have not had faith? Shall their lack of faith nullify the faith of Yahweh?4 Certainly not! Rather, Yahweh will be true, and every man a liar, just as it is written, "that you should be just in your words and you shall prevail when you are judged."5 But if our injustice introduces the justice of Yahweh, what do we say? Is Yahweh unjust then, imposing wrath? (I speak from manhood.)6 Certainly not! Otherwise in what way does Yahweh judge the Society?7 Indeed if the truth of Yahweh were increased by my lie for His honor, why then am I still judged as a wrongdoer?8 And shall we not (just as we are slandered and just as some suppose that we say,) bring about evil things in order that good things may come? Of these, which decision is legitimate?9 What then, are we better? Not at all: for we previously accused both Judaeans and Greeks all with being at fault:10 just as it is written, "that there is none righteous, not even one:"11 "there is none understanding, there is not one seeking after Yahweh."12 "They have all turned away, together they have become unprofitable; there is none practicing kindness, there is not so much as one;"13 "their throat is an open tomb, with their tongues they have dealt treacherously; the poison of asps is under their lips,"14 "of which the mouth is full of curses and bitterness;"15 "swift are their feet to shed blood;"16 "ruin and suffering are in their ways;"17 "and a way of peace they have not known;"18 "there is no fear of Yahweh before their eyes."19 Now we know that whatever the law says, to those in the law it speaks, that every mouth shall be stopped, and all the Society will be brought under the judgment of Yahweh,20 since from the rituals of the law not any flesh will be deemed acceptable in His sight; indeed through the law is knowledge of error.21 But now apart from the law, the justice of Yahweh is made known, as attested by the law and the prophets;22 but justice of Yahweh through the faith of Yahshua Christ, for all of those who are believing, for there is no distinction:23 for all have done wrong and fall short of the honor of Yahweh;24 being freely accepted by His favor, through the redemption that is at the hands of Christ Yahshua;25 whom Yahweh set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, for a display of His justice by means of the pretermission of forthcoming errors,26 by the tolerance of Yahweh; for the display of His justice in the present time; for He is just and is accepting of him that is from the faith of Yahshua.27 Where then is the reason to boast? It has been excluded. Through what sort of law, of the rituals? No, but through a law of faith.28 We therefore conclude by reasoning a man to be accepted by faith apart from rituals of the law.29 Is Yahweh of the Judaeans only? And not of the Nations? Yea, also of the Nations,30 seeing that it is Yahweh alone who will accept the circumcised from faith, and the uncircumcised through the faith.31 Do we then nullify the law by faith? Certainly not! Rather we establish the law.
