Justification by Faith – Romans
In Romans, Paul sets forth the core of the gospel: All people have sinned but are justified through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from works of the law.
Roomalaiskirje 3,21-31
21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the law and the prophets—
Νυνὶ δὲ χωρὶς νόμου δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ πεφανέρωται, μαρτυρουμένη ὑπὸ τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν,
22the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
δικαιοσύνη δὲ θεοῦ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς ⸀πάντας τοὺς πιστεύοντας, οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολή.
23all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
πάντες γὰρ ἥμαρτον καὶ ὑστεροῦνται τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ,
24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
δικαιούμενοι δωρεὰν τῇ αὐτοῦ χάριτι διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ·
25God presented him as the atoning sacrifice, received through faith in his blood, to demonstrate his righteousness—because in his forbearance he had passed over the sins committed beforehand—
ὃν προέθετο ὁ θεὸς ἱλαστήριον ⸀διὰ πίστεως ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ αἵματι εἰς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ διὰ τὴν πάρεσιν τῶν προγεγονότων ἁμαρτημάτων
26to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he might be both just and the one who justifies the person who has faith in Jesus.
ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ θεοῦ, πρὸς ⸀τὴν ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν δίκαιον καὶ δικαιοῦντα τὸν ἐκ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? Of works? No, but on the principle of faith.
Ποῦ οὖν ἡ καύχησις; ἐξεκλείσθη. διὰ ποίου νόμου; τῶν ἔργων; οὐχί, ἀλλὰ διὰ νόμου πίστεως.
28For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
λογιζόμεθα ⸀γὰρ ⸂δικαιοῦσθαι πίστει⸃ ἄνθρωπον χωρὶς ἔργων νόμου.
29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too,
ἢ Ἰουδαίων ὁ θεὸς μόνον; ⸀οὐχὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν; ναὶ καὶ ἐθνῶν,
30since God is one—and he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
⸀εἴπερ εἷς ὁ θεός, ὃς δικαιώσει περιτομὴν ἐκ πίστεως καὶ ἀκροβυστίαν διὰ τῆς πίστεως.
31Do we then abolish the law through faith? By no means! Rather, we uphold the law.
νόμον οὖν καταργοῦμεν διὰ τῆς πίστεως; μὴ γένοιτο, ἀλλὰ νόμον ⸀ἱστάνομεν.
Roomalaiskirje 5,1-11
1Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Δικαιωθέντες οὖν ἐκ πίστεως εἰρήνην ⸀ἔχομεν πρὸς τὸν θεὸν διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
2Through him we have also gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
διʼ οὗ καὶ τὴν προσαγωγὴν ἐσχήκαμεν τῇ πίστει εἰς τὴν χάριν ταύτην ἐν ᾗ ἑστήκαμεν, καὶ καυχώμεθα ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ·
3And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ⸀καυχώμεθα ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσιν, εἰδότες ὅτι ἡ θλῖψις ὑπομονὴν κατεργάζεται,
4endurance produces character, and character produces hope.
ἡ δὲ ὑπομονὴ δοκιμήν, ἡ δὲ δοκιμὴ ἐλπίδα.
5And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
ἡ δὲ ἐλπὶς οὐ καταισχύνει· ὅτι ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκέχυται ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου τοῦ δοθέντος ἡμῖν.
6For while we were still helpless, at just the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
⸂Ἔτι γὰρ⸃ Χριστὸς ὄντων ἡμῶν ἀσθενῶν ⸀ἔτι κατὰ καιρὸν ὑπὲρ ἀσεβῶν ἀπέθανεν.
7Rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might perhaps dare to die.
μόλις γὰρ ὑπὲρ δικαίου τις ἀποθανεῖται· ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ τάχα τις καὶ τολμᾷ ἀποθανεῖν·
8But God proves his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
συνίστησιν δὲ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀγάπην εἰς ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ὅτι ἔτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὄντων ἡμῶν Χριστὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀπέθανεν.
9How much more, then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from God's wrath!
πολλῷ οὖν μᾶλλον δικαιωθέντες νῦν ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ σωθησόμεθα διʼ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ὀργῆς.
10For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.
εἰ γὰρ ἐχθροὶ ὄντες κατηλλάγημεν τῷ θεῷ διὰ τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, πολλῷ μᾶλλον καταλλαγέντες σωθησόμεθα ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ·
11And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ καυχώμενοι ἐν τῷ θεῷ διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, διʼ οὗ νῦν τὴν καταλλαγὴν ἐλάβομεν.
