1 Quel|strong="G5101" avantage|strong="G4053" a|strong="G3588" donc|strong="G3767" le|strong="G3588" Juif|strong="G2453" ? Ou|strong="G2228" quel|strong="G5101" est|strong="G3588" le|strong="G3588" profit de|strong="G3588" la|strong="G3767" circoncision|strong="G4061" ?
2 Beaucoup|strong="G4183" à|strong="G2316" tous|strong="G3956" égards|strong="G3956" ! Parce|strong="G3303" que|strong="G3754", tout|strong="G3956" d|strong="G2596"'abord|strong="G4412", les|strong="G3956" révélations de|strong="G3588" Dieu|strong="G2316" leur|strong="G1063" ont|strong="G3588" été|strong="G3956" confiées.
3 Car|strong="G1063" que|strong="G5101" se|strong="G3588" passerait-il si|strong="G1487" certains|strong="G5100" étaient|strong="G3588" sans|strong="G3361" foi|strong="G4102" ? Leur|strong="G1063" manque de|strong="G3588" foi|strong="G4102" annulera-t-il la|strong="G1063" fidélité|strong="G4102" de|strong="G3588" Dieu|strong="G2316" ?
4 Qu|strong="G3704"'il|strong="G2532" n|strong="G3361"'en|strong="G1722" soit|strong="G2532" jamais|strong="G2532" ainsi|strong="G2532" ! Oui, qu|strong="G3704"'on|strong="G2532" trouve|strong="G1722" Dieu|strong="G2316" vrai|strong="G3588", mais|strong="G1161" tout|strong="G3956" homme|strong="G2532" menteur|strong="G5583". Comme|strong="G2531" il|strong="G2532" est|strong="G3588" écrit|strong="G1125",
5 Mais|strong="G1161" si|strong="G1487" notre|strong="G2249" iniquité loue la|strong="G1161" justice|strong="G1343" de|strong="G3588" Dieu|strong="G2316", que|strong="G5101" dirons-nous|strong="G5101" ? Dieu|strong="G2316" est-il|strong="G2316" injuste|strong="G3588", lui|strong="G1161" qui|strong="G3588" inflige la|strong="G1161" colère|strong="G3709" ? Je|strong="G1473" parle|strong="G3004" comme|strong="G1161" les|strong="G1161" hommes|strong="G1161".
6 Qu|strong="G3588"'il|strong="G3361" n|strong="G3361"'en|strong="G3361" soit|strong="G1096" jamais ainsi|strong="G1893" ! Car|strong="G1893" alors, comment|strong="G4459" Dieu|strong="G2316" jugera-t-il le|strong="G2316" monde|strong="G2889" ?
7 Car|strong="G1161" si|strong="G1487", par|strong="G1722" mon|strong="G1519" mensonge|strong="G5582", la|strong="G1722" vérité|strong="G1722" de|strong="G1722" Dieu|strong="G2316" a|strong="G1519" abondé|strong="G4052" pour|strong="G1519" sa|strong="G1722" gloire|strong="G1391", pourquoi|strong="G5101" suis-je|strong="G5101" encore|strong="G2089" jugé|strong="G2919" comme|strong="G5613" un|strong="G1722" pécheur ?
8 Pourquoi|strong="G3754" ne|strong="G2532" pas|strong="G3361" dire|strong="G3004" (comme|strong="G2531" on|strong="G2532" nous|strong="G2249" le|strong="G2532" rapporte|strong="G3004" calomnieusement, et|strong="G2532" comme|strong="G2531" certains|strong="G5100" affirment que|strong="G3754" nous|strong="G2249" le|strong="G2532" disons|strong="G3004") : « Faisons|strong="G4160" le|strong="G2532" mal|strong="G2556", afin|strong="G2443" que|strong="G3754" le|strong="G2532" bien|strong="G2532" arrive|strong="G2064". » Ceux|strong="G3588" qui|strong="G3588" disent|strong="G3004" cela|strong="G2532" sont|strong="G3588" justement condamnés|strong="G2532".
9 Et|strong="G2532" alors|strong="G2532" ? Sommes-nous|strong="G2532" meilleurs qu|strong="G5101"'eux|strong="G2532" ? Non|strong="G3756", en|strong="G2532" aucune|strong="G3756" façon. Car|strong="G1063" nous|strong="G2532" avons|strong="G1063" déjà|strong="G2532" averti les|strong="G2532" Juifs|strong="G2453" et|strong="G2532" les|strong="G2532" Grecs|strong="G1672" qu|strong="G5101"'ils|strong="G2532" sont|strong="G2532" tous|strong="G3956" sous|strong="G5259" le|strong="G2532" péché|strong="G2532".
10 Selon|strong="G2531" qu|strong="G3754"'il|strong="G3754" est|strong="G1510" écrit|strong="G1125",
11 Il|strong="G3588" n|strong="G3756"'y|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2316" personne|strong="G3756" qui|strong="G3588" comprenne.
12 Ils|strong="G4160" se|strong="G3588" sont|strong="G3588" tous|strong="G3956" détournés|strong="G3588".
13 « Leur|strong="G5259" gorge est|strong="G3588" un|strong="G5259" tombeau ouvert.
14 « Leur|strong="G2532" bouche|strong="G4750" est|strong="G3588" pleine|strong="G1073" de|strong="G2532" malédiction|strong="G2532" et|strong="G2532" d|strong="G2532"'amertume|strong="G4088". »
15 « Leurs|strong="G3588" pieds|strong="G4228" sont|strong="G3588" prompts à|strong="G3588" verser le|strong="G3588" sang|strong="G3588".
16 La|strong="G2532" destruction|strong="G4938" et|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" misère sont|strong="G3588" dans|strong="G1722" leurs|strong="G2532" voies|strong="G3598".
17 Le|strong="G2532" chemin|strong="G3598" de|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" paix|strong="G1515", ils|strong="G2532" ne|strong="G3756" l|strong="G2532"'ont|strong="G2532" pas|strong="G3756" connu|strong="G1097". »
18 « Il|strong="G3588" n|strong="G3756"'y|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2316" pas|strong="G3756" de|strong="G3756" crainte|strong="G5401" de|strong="G3756" Dieu|strong="G2316" devant|strong="G3588" leurs|strong="G3588" yeux|strong="G3788". »
19 Or|strong="G1161" nous|strong="G2532" savons|strong="G1492" que|strong="G3754" tout|strong="G3956" ce|strong="G1161" que|strong="G3754" dit|strong="G3004" la|strong="G2532" loi|strong="G3551", elle|strong="G2532" le|strong="G2532" dit|strong="G3004" à|strong="G1722" ceux|strong="G3588" qui|strong="G3588" sont|strong="G3588" sous|strong="G1722" la|strong="G2532" loi|strong="G3551", afin|strong="G2443" que|strong="G3754" toute|strong="G3956" bouche|strong="G4750" soit|strong="G2532" fermée|strong="G5420" et|strong="G2532" que|strong="G3754" le|strong="G2532" monde|strong="G2889" entier|strong="G3956" soit|strong="G2532" soumis au|strong="G1722" jugement|strong="G2532" de|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316".
20 Car|strong="G1063" c|strong="G1063"'est|strong="G3956" par|strong="G1223" les|strong="G3956" œuvres|strong="G2041" de|strong="G1537" la|strong="G1537" loi|strong="G3551" que|strong="G1063" nulle|strong="G3756" chair|strong="G4561" ne|strong="G3756" sera|strong="G3956" justifiée|strong="G1344" devant|strong="G1799" lui|strong="G1223", puisque|strong="G1063" c|strong="G1063"'est|strong="G3956" par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1537" loi|strong="G3551" que|strong="G1063" vient|strong="G1537" la|strong="G1537" connaissance|strong="G1922" du|strong="G1537" péché|strong="G3956".
21 Mais|strong="G1161" maintenant|strong="G3570", indépendamment de|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" loi|strong="G3551", une|strong="G2532" justice|strong="G1343" de|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316" a|strong="G2532" été|strong="G1161" révélée|strong="G3588", attestée par|strong="G5259" la|strong="G2532" loi|strong="G3551" et|strong="G2532" les|strong="G2532" prophètes|strong="G4396",
22 la|strong="G1519" justice|strong="G1343" de|strong="G3756" Dieu|strong="G2316" par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1519" foi|strong="G4102" en|strong="G1519" Jésus-Christ|strong="G1223", pour|strong="G1519" tous|strong="G3956" et|strong="G1161" sur|strong="G1519" tous|strong="G3956" ceux|strong="G3588" qui|strong="G3588" croient|strong="G4100". Car|strong="G1063" il|strong="G1161" n|strong="G3756"'y|strong="G1161" a|strong="G1519" pas|strong="G3756" de|strong="G3756" distinction|strong="G1293",
23 puisque|strong="G1063" tous|strong="G3956" ont|strong="G3588" péché|strong="G2532" et|strong="G2532" sont|strong="G3588" privés|strong="G5302" de|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" gloire|strong="G1391" de|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316",
24 et|strong="G1722" qu|strong="G1223"'ils|strong="G3588" sont|strong="G3588" gratuitement|strong="G1432" justifiés|strong="G1344" par|strong="G1223" sa|strong="G1722" grâce|strong="G5485", par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1722" rédemption|strong="G1722" qui|strong="G3588" est|strong="G3588" en|strong="G1722" Jésus-Christ|strong="G1722",
25 que|strong="G3739" Dieu|strong="G2316" a|strong="G1519" envoyé|strong="G3739" en|strong="G1722" sacrifice expiatoire par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1722" foi|strong="G4102" en|strong="G1722" son|strong="G1722" sang|strong="G1722", pour|strong="G1519" manifester sa|strong="G1722" justice|strong="G1343" par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1722" rémission|strong="G1722" des|strong="G1722" péchés|strong="G1722" antérieurs, dans|strong="G1722" la|strong="G1722" patience de|strong="G1722" Dieu|strong="G2316",
26 pour|strong="G1519" manifester sa|strong="G2532" justice|strong="G1343" dans|strong="G1722" le|strong="G2532" temps|strong="G2540" présent|strong="G3568", afin|strong="G2532" d|strong="G1537"'être|strong="G2532" lui-même|strong="G1722" juste|strong="G1342" et|strong="G2532" de|strong="G2532" justifier|strong="G1344" celui|strong="G3588" qui|strong="G3588" a|strong="G1519" la|strong="G2532" foi|strong="G4102" en|strong="G1722" Jésus|strong="G2424".
27 Où|strong="G4226" est|strong="G3588" donc|strong="G3767" la|strong="G1223" vantardise ? Elle|strong="G3767" est|strong="G3588" exclue. Par|strong="G1223" quelle|strong="G4169" loi|strong="G3551" ? Celle|strong="G3588" des|strong="G1223" œuvres|strong="G2041" ? Non|strong="G3780", mais|strong="G3767" par|strong="G1223" une|strong="G1223" loi|strong="G3551" de|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1223" foi|strong="G4102".
28 Nous|strong="G1063" soutenons donc|strong="G1063" que|strong="G1063" l'homme est|strong="G3551" justifié|strong="G1344" par|strong="G1344" la|strong="G1063" foi|strong="G4102", indépendamment des|strong="G1063" œuvres|strong="G2041" de|strong="G3551" la|strong="G1063" loi|strong="G3551".
29 Ou|strong="G2228" bien|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316" est-il|strong="G2316" le|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316" des|strong="G2532" Juifs|strong="G2453" seulement|strong="G3440" ? N|strong="G2532"'est-il|strong="G2316" pas|strong="G3780" aussi|strong="G2532" le|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316" des|strong="G2532" païens|strong="G1484" ? Oui|strong="G3483", des|strong="G2532" païens|strong="G1484" aussi|strong="G2532",
30 puisqu'il|strong="G2532" n|strong="G2532"'y|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" qu|strong="G3739"'un|strong="G2532" seul|strong="G1520" Dieu|strong="G2316" qui|strong="G3588" justifie|strong="G1344" le|strong="G2532" circoncis|strong="G4061" par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G2532" foi|strong="G4102" et|strong="G2532" l|strong="G3739"'incirconcis|strong="G1223" par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G2532" foi|strong="G4102".
31 Annulons-nous donc|strong="G3767" la|strong="G1223" loi|strong="G3551" par|strong="G1223" la|strong="G1223" foi|strong="G4102" ? Que|strong="G3588" cela|strong="G1223" ne|strong="G3361" soit|strong="G1096" jamais le|strong="G1223" cas ! Non|strong="G3361", nous|strong="G3767" établissons la|strong="G1223" loi|strong="G3551".
