| Romans 3:1 | What special privilege, then, has a Jew? Or what benefit is to be derived from circumcision? | What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision? | How then is the Jew better off? or what profit is there in circumcision? |
| Romans 3:2 | The privilege is great from every point of view. First of all, because the Jews were entrusted with God's truth. | Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God. | Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them. |
| Romans 3:3 | For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless? | For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect? | And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect? |
| Romans 3:4 | No, indeed; let us hold God to be true, though every man should prove to be false. As it stands written, "That Thou mayest be shown to be just in the sentence Thou pronouncest, and gain Thy cause when Thou contendest." | Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment. | In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged. |
| Romans 3:5 | But if our unrighteousness sets God's righteousness in a clearer light, what shall we say? (Is God unrighteous I speak in our everyday language when He inflicts punishment? | But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man. | But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)? |
| Romans 3:6 | No indeed; for in that case how shall He judge all mankind?) | Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world? | In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world? |
| Romans 3:7 | If, for instance, a falsehood of mine has made God's truthfulness more conspicuous, redounding to His glory, why am I judged all the same as a sinner? | For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am *I* also judged as a sinner? | But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner? |
| Romans 3:8 | And why should we not say for so they wickedly misrepresent us, and so some charge us with arguing "Let us do evil that good may come"? The condemnation of those who would so argue is just. | and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just. | Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment. |
| Romans 3:9 | What then? Are we Jews more highly estimated than they? Not in the least; for we have already charged all Jews and Gentiles alike with being in thraldom to sin. | What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin: | What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin; |
| Romans 3:10 | Thus it stands written, "There is not one righteous man. | according as it is written, There is not a righteous [man], not even one; | As it is said in the holy Writings, There is not one who does righteousness; |
| Romans 3:11 | There is not one who is really wise, nor one who is a diligent seeker after God. | there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks after God. | Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher after God; |
| Romans 3:12 | All have turned aside from the right path; they have every one of them become corrupt. There is no one who does what is right no, not so much as one." | All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one: | They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them; there is not one who does good, not so much as one: |
| Romans 3:13 | "Their throats resemble an opened grave; with their tongues they have been talking deceitfully." "The venom of vipers lies hidden behind their lips." | their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; asps' poison [is] under their lips: | Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips: |
| Romans 3:14 | "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." | whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; | Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words: |
| Romans 3:15 | "Their feet move swiftly to shed blood. | swift their feet to shed blood; | Their feet are quick in running after blood; |
| Romans 3:16 | Ruin and misery mark their path; | ruin and misery [are] in their ways, | Destruction and trouble are in their ways; |
| Romans 3:17 | and the way to peace they have not known." | and way of peace they have not known: | And of the way of peace they have no knowledge: |
| Romans 3:18 | "There is no fear of God before their eyes." | there is no fear of God before their eyes. | There is no fear of God before their eyes. |
| Romans 3:19 | But it cannot be denied that all that the Law says is addressed to those who are living under the Law, in order that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may await sentence from God. | Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God. | Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God: |
| Romans 3:20 | For on the ground of obedience to Law no man living will be declared righteous before Him. Law simply brings a sure knowledge of sin. | Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin. | Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. |
| Romans 3:21 | But now a righteousness coming from God has been brought to light apart from any Law, both Law and Prophets bearing witness to it | But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets; | But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets; |
| Romans 3:22 | a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made; | righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference; | That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another, |
| Romans 3:23 | for all alike have sinned, and all consciously come short of the glory of God, | for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; | For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God; |
| Romans 3:24 | gaining acquittal from guilt by His free unpurchased grace through the deliverance which is found in Christ Jesus. | being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus; | And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus: |
| Romans 3:25 | He it is whom God put forward as a Mercy-seat, rendered efficacious through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness because of the passing over, in God's forbearance, of the sins previously committed | whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God; | Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment; |
| Romans 3:26 | with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus. | for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus. | And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus. |
| Romans 3:27 | Where then is there room for your boasting? It is for ever shut out. On what principle? On the ground of merit? No, but on the ground of faith. | Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith; | What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith. |
| Romans 3:28 | For we maintain that it is as the result of faith that a man is held to be righteous, apart from actions done in obedience to Law. | for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law. | For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law. |
| Romans 3:29 | Is God simply the God of the Jews, and not of the Gentiles also? He is certainly the God of the Gentiles also, | Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also: | Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles: |
| Romans 3:30 | unless you can deny that it is one and the same God who will pronounce the circumcised to be acquitted on the ground of faith, and the uncircumcised to be acquitted through the same faith. | since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. | If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision. |
| Romans 3:31 | Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing. | Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no,] but we establish law. | Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important. |
