Editing Sola fide (section)

=== Translations ===
Historically, expressions similar to —"justification by faith alone"— had appeared in a number of Catholic bible translations: the Nuremberg Bible (1483) in [[Epistle to the Galatians|Galatians]] {{Bibleref2-nb|Galatians|2:16}} ("δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ... διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ") has "''nur durch den glauben''",<ref>Küng, Hans, ''Justification: The Doctrine of Karl Barth and a Catholic Reflection'', p249, "The formula sola fide can be taken for orthodox since the 'alone' may be understood as a plausible way of making clear the statement in Romans 3:28. This much is certain - the 'alone' in the translation is not Luther's invention. Even before the Reformation there were already such translations. According to Lyonnet...the German Bible's reading of Gal 2.16 is 'gerechtfertigt...nur durch den Glauben.'"</ref><ref name="TGeorge71">George, Timothy, ''Theology of the Reformers'', p. 71, n. 61, "Luther did not, of course, invent this phrase. The German Bible published at Nürnberg in 1483 translated Gal 2:16 as "gerechtfertigt ... nur durch den Glauben". Further, the term ''sola fide'' was well established in the Catholic tradition, having been used by Origen, Hilary, Chrysostom, Augustine, Bernard, Aquinas, and others but without Luther's particular nuances."</ref> and the [[Bible translations into Italian|Italian]] translations of 1476, 1538, and 1546 have "''ma solo per la fede''" or "''per la sola fede''".<ref>Lyonnet Stanislas, ''Etudes sur l'Epître aux Romains'', p. 118</ref><ref>Hodge, Charles, ''Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans'', p. 100</ref> The official Italian Bible of the Catholic Church, ''La Sacra Bibbia della [[Conferenza Episcopale Italiana]]'' (2008), in Galatians 2:16, reads in part: "but only through faith in Jesus Christ" (''ma soltanto per mezzo della fede'').<ref>{{Cite web |title=La Sacra Bibbia – IntraText (Galatians 2) |url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ITA0001/__PY8.HTM |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=www.vatican.va}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bible Gateway passage: Galati 2:16 – Conferenza Episcopale Italiana |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galati%202%3A16&version=CEI |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=Bible Gateway |language=en}}</ref>
