All the World Guilty
1Jika demikian, apakah kelebihan orang Yahudi dan apakah gunanya sunat ? 2Banyak sekali, dan di dalam segala hal. Pertama-tama: sebab kepada merekalah dipercayakan firman Allah. 3Jadi bagaimana, jika di antara mereka ada yang tidak setia, dapatkah ketidaksetiaan itu membatalkan kesetiaan Allah ? 4Sekali-kali tidak ! Sebaliknya: Allah adalah benar, dan semua manusia pembohong, seperti ada tertulis: "Supaya Engkau ternyata benar dalam segala firman-Mu, dan menang, jika Engkau dihakimi." 5Tetapi jika ketidakbenaran kita menunjukkan kebenaran Allah, apakah yang akan kita katakan ? Tidak adilkah Allah -- aku berkata sebagai manusia -- jika Ia menampakkan murka-Nya ? 6Sekali-kali tidak ! Andaikata demikian, bagaimanakah Allah dapat menghakimi dunia ? 7Tetapi jika kebenaran Allah oleh dustaku semakin melimpah bagi kemuliaan-Nya, mengapa aku masih dihakimi lagi sebagai orang berdosa ? 8Bukankah tidak benar fitnahan orang yang mengatakan, bahwa kita berkata: "Marilah kita berbuat yang jahat, supaya yang baik timbul dari padanya." Orang semacam itu sudah selayaknya mendapat hukuman.
1Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2Great in every respect. First, that they were entrusted with the actual words of God. 3What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 4Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found a liar, as it is written:
“SO THAT YOU ARE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS,
AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED.” 5But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking from a human viewpoint.) 6Far from it! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? 7But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner? 8And why not say (just as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let’s do evil that good may come of it”? Their condemnation is deserved.

9Jadi bagaimana ? Adakah kita mempunyai kelebihan dari pada orang lain? Sama sekali tidak. Sebab di atas telah kita tuduh baik orang Yahudi, maupun orang Yunani, bahwa mereka semua ada di bawah kuasa dosa, 10seperti ada tertulis: "Tidak ada yang benar, seorangpun tidak. 11Tidak ada seorangpun yang berakal budi, tidak ada seorangpun yang mencari Allah. 12Semua orang telah menyeleweng, mereka semua tidak berguna, tidak ada yang berbuat baik, seorangpun tidak. 13Kerongkongan mereka seperti kubur yang ternganga, lidah mereka merayu-rayu, bibir mereka mengandung bisa. 14Mulut mereka penuh dengan sumpah serapah, 15kaki mereka cepat untuk menumpahkan darah. 16Keruntuhan dan kebinasaan mereka tinggalkan di jalan mereka, 17dan jalan damai tidak mereka kenal; 18rasa takut kepada Allah tidak ada pada orang itu."
9What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10as it is written:
“THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, NOT EVEN ONE; 11THERE IS NO ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NO ONE WHO SEEKS OUT GOD; 12THEY HAVE ALL TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME CORRUPT;
THERE IS NO ONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.” 13“THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE,
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,”
“THE VENOM OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”; 14“THEIR MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS”; 15“THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, 16DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS, 17AND THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THE WAY OF PEACE.” 18“THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.”

19Tetapi kita tahu, bahwa segala sesuatu yang tercantum dalam Kitab Taurat ditujukan kepada mereka yang hidup di bawah hukum Taurat, supaya tersumbat setiap mulut dan seluruh dunia jatuh ke bawah hukuman Allah. 20Sebab tidak seorangpun yang dapat dibenarkan di hadapan Allah oleh karena melakukan hukum Taurat, karena justru oleh hukum Taurat orang mengenal dosa.
19Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; 20because by the works of the Law none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes knowledge of sin.
Justification by Faith
21Tetapi sekarang, tanpa hukum Taurat kebenaran Allah telah dinyatakan, seperti yang disaksikan dalam Kitab Taurat dan Kitab-kitab para nabi, 22yaitu kebenaran Allah karena iman dalam Yesus Kristus bagi semua orang yang percaya. Sebab tidak ada perbedaan. 23Karena semua orang telah berbuat dosa dan telah kehilangan kemuliaan Allah, 24dan oleh kasih karunia telah dibenarkan dengan cuma-cuma karena penebusan dalam Kristus Yesus. 25Kristus Yesus telah ditentukan Allah menjadi jalan pendamaian karena iman, dalam darah-Nya. Hal ini dibuat-Nya untuk menunjukkan keadilan-Nya, karena Ia telah membiarkan dosa-dosa yang telah terjadi dahulu pada masa kesabaran-Nya. 26Maksud-Nya ialah untuk menunjukkan keadilan-Nya pada masa ini, supaya nyata, bahwa Ia benar dan juga membenarkan orang yang percaya kepada Yesus.
21But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in God’s merciful restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished; 26for the demonstration, that is, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27Jika demikian, apakah dasarnya untuk bermegah ? Tidak ada ! Berdasarkan apa ? Berdasarkan perbuatan ? Tidak, melainkan berdasarkan iman ! 28Karena kami yakin, bahwa manusia dibenarkan karena iman, dan bukan karena ia melakukan hukum Taurat. 29Atau adakah Allah hanya Allah orang Yahudi saja ? Bukankah Ia juga adalah Allah bangsa-bangsa lain ? Ya, benar. Ia juga adalah Allah bangsa-bangsa lain ! 30Artinya, kalau ada satu Allah, yang akan membenarkan baik orang-orang bersunat karena iman, maupun orang-orang tak bersunat juga karena iman.
27Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.
31Jika demikian, adakah kami membatalkan hukum Taurat karena iman ? Sama sekali tidak ! Sebaliknya, kami meneguhkannya.
31Do we then nullify the Law through faith? Far from it! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
