The only Bible that says sola fide is Luther's German translation, and that's because he ADDED it to Romans 3:28.

Why do you think he felt the need to add it if it was already there?

Rom 3:
28
For we consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

Martin Luther added ‘alone’ after faith, and interpreted works of the (Mosaic) law (such as diet, circumcision etc) as meaning ‘good works’.

Changes the entire meaning; no wonder some generations appear to have been seriously misled.
