1 ¿Tienen entonces los judíos alguna ventaja? ¿Tiene algún beneficio la circuncisión?
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Sí. ¡Hay muchos beneficios! En primer lugar, el mensaje de Dios fue confiado a los judíos.
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
3 ¿Qué pasaría si alguno de ellos no creyera en Dios? ¿Acaso su falta de fe en Dios anula la fidelidad de Dios?
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
4 ¡Claro que no! Incluso si todos los demás mienten, Dios siempre dice la verdad. Como dice la Escritura: “Quedará demostrado que tienes la razón en lo que dices, y ganarás tu caso cuando seas juzgado”
4 May 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.”
5 Pero si el hecho de que estamos equivocados ayuda a demostrar que Dios está en lo correcto, ¿qué debemos concluir? ¿Que Dios se equivoca al pronunciar juicio sobre nosotros? (Aquí estoy hablando desde una perspectiva humana).
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
6 ¡Por supuesto que no! ¿De qué otra manera podría Dios juzgar al mundo?
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
7 Alguno podría decir: “¿Por qué sigo siendo condenado como pecador si mis mentiras hacen que la verdad de Dios y su gloria sean más obvias al contrastarlas?”
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
8 ¿Acaso se trata de “Vamos a pecar para dar lugar al bien”? Algunos con calumnia nos acusan de decir eso. ¡Tales personas deberían ser condenadas!
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
9 Entonces, ¿son los judíos mejores que los demás? ¡Ciertamente no! Recordemos que ya hemos demostrado que tanto judíos como extranjeros estamos bajo el control del pecado.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 Como dice la Escritura: “Nadie hace lo recto, ni siquiera uno.
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
11 Nadie entiende, nadie busca a Dios.
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
12 Todos le han dado la espalda, todos hacen lo que es malo. Nadie hace lo que es bueno, ni siquiera uno.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
13 Sus gargantas son como una tumba abierta; sus lenguas esparcen engaño; sus labios rebosan veneno de serpientes.
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
14 Sus bocas están llenas de amargura y maldiciones,
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 y están prestos para causar dolor y muerte.
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
16 Su camino los lleva al desastre y la miseria;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
17 no saben cómo vivir en paz.
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
18 No les importa en absoluto respetar a Dios”.
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Está claro que todo lo que dice la ley se aplica a aquellos que viven bajo la ley, para que nadie pueda tener excusa alguna, y para asegurar que todos en el mundo sean responsables ante Dios.
19 Now 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.
20 Porque nadie es justificado ante Dios por hacer lo que la ley exige. La ley solo nos ayuda a reconocer lo que es realmente el pecado.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
21 Pero ahora se ha demostrado el carácter bondadoso y recto de Dios. Y no tiene nada que ver con el cumplimiento de la ley, aunque ya se habló de él por medio de la ley y los profetas.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;
22 Este carácter recto de Dios viene a todo aquél que cree en Jesucristo, aquellos que ponen su confianza en él. No importa quienes seamos:
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
23 Todos hemos pecado y hemos fallado en alcanzar el ideal glorioso de Dios.
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
24 Sin embargo, por medio del regalo de su gracia, Dios nos hace justos, a través de Jesucristo, quien nos hace libres.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 Dios presentó abiertamente a Jesús como el don que trae paz a aquellos que creen en él, quien derramó su sangre. Hizo esto con el fin de demostrar que él es verdaderamente recto, porque anteriormente se contuvo y pasó por alto los pecados,
25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
26 pero ahora, en el presente, Dios demuestra que es justo y hace lo recto, y que hace justos a los que creen en Jesús.
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
27 ¿Acaso tenemos algo de qué jactarnos? Por supuesto que no, ¡no hay lugar para ello! ¿Por qué? ¿Acaso es porque seguimos la ley de guardar los requisitos? No, nosotros seguimos la ley de la fe en Dios.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
28 Entonces concluimos que somos hechos justos por Dios por medio de nuestra fe en él, y no por la observancia de la ley.
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
29 ¿Acaso Dios es solamente Dios de los judíos? ¿Acaso él no es el Dios de los demás pueblos también? ¡Por supuesto que sí!
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
30 Solo hay un Dios, y él nos justifica por nuestra fe en él, quienesquiera que seamos, judíos o extranjeros.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
31 ¿Significa eso que por creer en Dios desechamos la ley? ¡Por supuesto que no! De hecho, afirmamos la importancia de la ley.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
He had accused the Gentiles, he had accused the Jews; it came next in order to mention the righteousness which is by faith.

And, "There is none that understandeth, or that seeketh after God: they have all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable," they maintain to be said concerning ignorance of Bythus.
… in many other significations; and among these various usages, a frequent one is to use flesh for man himself, the nature of man taking the part for the whole, as in the words, "By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified;" for what does he mean here by "no flesh" but "no man?" And this, indeed, …

God forbid! yea, we establish the law." For since the law was laboring at this, to make man righteous, but had not power, He came and brought in the way of righteousness by faith, and so established that which the law desired: and what the law could not by letters, this He accomplished by faith.

for the godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none that doeth right among men: and again, They are all gone out of the way, they are together became unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one: and again, Cursing and stealing, and adultery, and murder are poured out upon the land.
