Etheridge - Romans - 3

3:1  What then is the excellence of the Jihudoya, and what the profit of circumcision?

3:2  Much in every thing: primarily that they had intrusted (to them) the words of Aloha.

3:3  For if some of them believed not, would their unbelief abolish the faithfulness of Aloha?

3:4  Not so: for Aloha is true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be just in thy words, And triumph when they judge thee.

3:5  But if our iniquity the righteousness of Aloha establisheth, what shall we say? Is Aloha evil, who bringeth his wrath? As a man do I speak.

3:6  Not so; otherwise how shall Aloha judge the world?

3:7  For if the truth of Aloha is promoted by my lie unto his glory, why then am I judged as a sinner?

3:8  Or why, as certain blaspheme concerning us, affirming that we say, Let us do evil, that good may come? they, whose condemnation is reserved by justice.

3:9  What then, have we attained excellence? (No.) For before we decided of the Jihudoyee and of the Aramoyee that they are all under sin;

3:10  as it is written, None is righteous, not one.

3:11  None understandeth or seeketh Aloha.

3:12  All have declined together and are reprobate, And there is none that doeth good, not one.

3:13  Open sepulchres are their throats, Their tongues have deceived, And the venom of asps is under their lips.

3:14  Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness,

3:15  And their feet are swift to shed blood.

3:16  Crushing and misery are in their ways;

3:17  And the way of peace they have not known;

3:18  And the fear of Aloha is not before their eyes.

3:19  BUT we know that whatever the law saith, to them who are under the law it saith: that every mouth may be shut, and all the world be guilty unto Aloha.

3:20  Because by the works of the law no flesh is justified before him; for from the law sin is known.

3:21  But now, without the law the righteousness of Aloha is revealed, and the law and the prophets (themselves) testify of it.

3:22  But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction:

3:23  for all have sinned, and have failed of the glory of Aloha;

3:24  and all are justified by grace freely, and (that) through the redemption which is in Jeshu Meshiha,

3:25  whom Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned, within the space which Aloha hath given to us in his patience,

3:26  unto the manifestation of his righteousness which (is) in this time: that he might be just, and might justify in righteousness him who is in the faith of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

3:27  Where, then, is boasting? It is abolished. By what law? of works? No, but by the law of faith.

3:28  We comprehend, therefore, that by faith man is justified, and not by the works of the law.

3:29  Is Aloha of the Jihudoyee only, and not of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also

3:30  Because one is Aloha, who justifieth the circumcision by faith, also the uncircumcision by the same faith.

3:31  Do we therefore the law abolish by faith? Not so, but the law itself we establish.
