¹Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?

¹Kaj so torej Judje na boljšem? ali kaj hasni obreza?

²Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

²Mnogo vsekakor. Najprvo, da so se jim zaupali izreki Božji.

³For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

³Pa kaj, če niso verovali nekateri? Odpravi li njih nevera zvestost Božjo?

⁴May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment.” Psalm 51:4

⁴Nikakor ne! Temuč Bog naj se izkaže resničnega, a vsak človek lažnivca, kakor je pisano: „Da se opravičiš v svojih besedah in zmagaš, ko te bodo sodili“.

⁵But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

⁵Če pa naša krivičnost potrjuje Božjo pravičnost, kaj porečemo? Da je Bog nepravičen, ko kaznuje v jezi? (po človeško govorim).

⁶May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?

⁶Nikakor ne! kajti kako bo sicer Bog sodil svet?

⁷For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

⁷Če se je namreč resnica Božja po moji laži povečala v njegovo slavo, zakaj bi bil še tudi jaz sojen kot grešnik?

⁸Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let us do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.

⁸In ne smemo li govoriti, kakor nas nekateri obrekujejo in pravijo, da govorimo: Delajmo hudo, da pride iz tega dobro? Tehle čaka pravična sodba.

⁹What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

⁹Kaj torej? Ali so Judje boljši? Nikakor ne. Kajti prej smo obtožili i Jude i Grke, da so vsi pod grehom,

¹⁰As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.

¹⁰kakor je pisano: „Ni pravičnega ne enega;

¹¹There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.

¹¹ni ga, ki bi bil razumen, ni ga, ki bi iskal Boga;

¹²They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one.” Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20

¹²vsi so zašli s pota, vsi skup so se izpridili; ni ga, ki bi delal dobro, ni ga še enega ne.

¹³“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” Psalm 5:9 “The poison of vipers is under their lips”; Psalm 140:3

¹³Odprt grob je njih grlo, s svojimi jeziki varajo; kačji strup je pod njih ustnicami.

¹⁴“whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” Psalm 10:7

¹⁴Njih usta so polna kletve in grenkobe.

¹⁵Hitre so njih noge, da kri prelijó.

¹⁶Pokončevanje in nadloga je na njih potih,

¹⁷The way of peace, they haven’t known.” Isaiah 59:7-8

¹⁷in poti miru niso spoznali.

¹⁸“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Psalm 36:1

¹⁸Ni strahu Božjega pred njih očmi“.

¹⁹Now 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.

¹⁹Vemo pa, karkoli govori postava, govori tem, ki so pod postavo, da se vsaka usta zamaše in ves svet zapade sodbi Božji.

²⁰Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

²⁰Kajti iz del postave ne bo opravičeno nobeno meso pred njim; zakaj po postavi prihaja spoznanje greha.

²¹But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

²¹Sedaj pa se je brez postave razodela pravičnost Božja, izpričevana od postave in prorokov,

²²even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

²²pravičnost namreč Božja po veri v Jezusa Kristusa vsem in za vse, ki verujejo. Kajti ni nobenega razločka:

²³for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

²³zakaj vsi so se pregrešili ter nimajo slave Božje

²⁴being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

²⁴in dobivajo opravičenje daroma ž njegovo milostjo po odkupu, ki je v Kristusu Jezusu;

²⁵whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice or, a propitiation , through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;

²⁵ki ga je predstavil Bog kot sprave daritev po veri v njegovi krvi, da pokaže svojo pravičnost zaradi prizanašanja prejšnjim grehom

²⁶to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

²⁶v času potrpljenja Božjega, z ozirom na dokaz svoje pravičnosti v sedanjem času, da bi bil Bog sam pravičen in opravičitelj tega, ki je iz vere Jezusove.

²⁷Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

²⁷Kje je torej naša hvala? Izključena je. Po kakšni postavi? po postavi del? Ne, ampak po postavi vere.

²⁸We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

²⁸Sodimo namreč, da se z vero opravičuje človek, brez del postave.

²⁹Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

²⁹Ali je Bog samo Bog Judov? ni li tudi poganov? Da, tudi poganov,

³⁰since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

³⁰ker je le eden Bog, ki opraviči obrezo iz vere in neobrezo po veri.Ali torej postavo odpravljamo po veri? Nikakor ne, temuč postavo postavljamo.

³¹Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

³¹Ali torej postavo odpravljamo po veri? Nikakor ne, temuč postavo postavljamo.
