| 1 | What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? | Quelle est donc la prérogative du Juif, ou quelle est l'utilité de la circoncision? | What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision? |
| 2 | Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. | Elle est grande en toute manière, surtout en ce que les oracles de Dieu leur ont été confiés. | Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God. |
| 3 | For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? | Quoi donc? si quelques-uns n'ont pas cru, leur incrédulité anéantira-t-elle la fidélité de Dieu? | For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? |
| 4 | God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. | Nullement! Mais que Dieu soit reconnu véritable, et tout homme menteur, selon qu'il est écrit: Afin que tu sois trouvé juste dans tes paroles, et que tu gagnes ta cause lorsqu'on te juge. | God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. |
| 5 | But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) | Mais si notre injustice établit la justice de Dieu, que dirons-nous? Dieu n'est-il pas injuste quand il punit? (Je parle comme les hommes. ) | But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) |
| 6 | God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? | Nullement! Si cela était, comment Dieu jugerait-il le monde? | God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? |
| 7 | For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? | Et si la vérité de Dieu éclate davantage, à sa gloire, par mon infidélité, pourquoi suis-je encore condamné comme pécheur? | But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? |
| 8 | And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. | Et que ne faisons-nous du mal, afin qu'il en arrive du bien, comme quelques-uns, qui nous calomnient, assurent que nous le disons? La condamnation de ces gens est juste. | and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. |
| 9 | What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; | Et quoi? sommes-nous donc plus excellents? Nullement; car nous avons déjà fait voir que tous, Juifs et Grecs, sont assujettis au péché, | What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin; |
| 10 | As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: | Selon qu'il est écrit: Il n'y a point de juste, non pas même un seul. | as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; |
| 11 | There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. | Il n'y a personne qui ait de l'intelligence; il n'y en a point qui cherche Dieu. | There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God; |
| 12 | They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. | Tous se sont égarés, et se sont tous ensemble corrompus; il n'y en a point qui fasse le bien, non pas même un seul. | They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one: |
| 13 | Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: | Leur gosier est un sépulcre ouvert; ils se sont servis de leurs langues pour tromper; il y a un venin d'aspic sous leurs lèvres. | Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips: |
| 14 | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: | Leur bouche est pleine de malédiction et d'amertume. | Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: |
| 15 | Their feet are swift to shed blood: | Ils ont les pieds légers pour répandre le sang. | Their feet are swift to shed blood; |
| 16 | Destruction and misery are in their ways: | La désolation et la ruine sont dans leurs voies. | Destruction and misery are in their ways; |
| 17 | And the way of peace have they not known: | Ils n'ont point connu le chemin de la paix. | And the way of peace have they not known: |
| 18 | There is no fear of God before their eyes. | La crainte de Dieu n'est point devant leurs yeux. | There is no fear of God before their eyes. |
| 19 | Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. | Or, nous savons que tout ce que la loi dit, elle le dit à ceux qui sont sous la loi, afin que toute bouche soit fermée, et que tout le monde soit reconnu coupable devant Dieu. | Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God: |
| 20 | Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. | Parce que personne ne sera justifié devant lui par les ouvres de la loi; car c'est la loi qui donne la connaissance du péché. | because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin. |
| 21 | But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; | Mais maintenant, la justice de Dieu a été manifestée sans la loi, la loi et les prophètes lui rendant témoignage; | But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; |
| 22 | Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: | La justice de Dieu, dis-je, par la foi en Jésus-Christ, pour tous ceux et sur tous ceux qui croient; | even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; |
| 23 | For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; | Car il n'y a point de distinction, puisque tous ont péché, et sont privés de la gloire de Dieu, | for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; |
| 24 | Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: | Et qu'ils sont justifiés gratuitement par sa grâce, par la rédemption qui est en Jésus-Christ, | being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: |
| 25 | Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; | Que Dieu avait destiné à être une victime propitiatoire; par la foi, en son sang, afin de manifester sa justice par le pardon des péchés commis auparavant, pendant les jours de la patience de Dieu; | whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; |
| 26 | To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. | Afin, dis-je, de faire paraître sa justice dans ce temps-ci, afin d'être reconnu juste, et comme justifiant celui qui a la foi en Jésus. | for the showing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. |
| 27 | Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. | Où est donc le sujet de se glorifier? Il est exclu. Par quelle loi? Par la loi des ouvres? Non, mais par la loi de la foi. | Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. |
| 28 | Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. | Nous concluons donc que l'homme est justifié par la foi, sans les ouvres de la loi. | We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. |
| 29 | Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: | Dieu est-il seulement le Dieu des Juifs? Ne l'est-il pas aussi des Gentils? Oui, il l'est aussi des Gentils; | Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: |
| 30 | Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. | Car il y a un seul Dieu, qui justifiera les circoncis par la foi, et les incirconcis par la foi. | if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. |
| 31 | Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. | Anéantissons-nous donc la loi par la foi? Nullement! Au contraire, nous établissons la loi. | Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law. |
