1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
1 你这判断人的啊！ 无论你是谁， 都没有办法推诿。你在什么事上判断人， 就在什么事上定自己的罪； 因为你所作的， 正是你所判断的事。
2 我们知道， 神必照着真理审判行这些事的人。
3 你这个人， 你判断行这些事的人， 自己所行的却是一样， 你以为能逃脱 神的审判吗？
4 还是你藐视 神丰富的恩慈、宽容和忍耐， 不晓得他的恩慈是要领你悔改的吗？
5 可是你一直硬着心肠， 不肯悔改， 为自己积蓄 神的忿怒， 就是他彰显公义审判的那天所要发的忿怒。
6 神必照各人所作的报应各人：
7 以永生报答那些耐心行善、寻求荣耀尊贵和不朽的人，
8 却以震怒和愤恨报应那些自私自利、不顺从真理而顺从不义的人；
9 把患难和愁苦加给所有作恶的人， 先是犹太人， 后是希腊人，
10 却把荣耀、尊贵与平安赐给所有行善的人， 先是犹太人， 后是希腊人。
11 因为 神并不偏待人。
12 凡不在律法之下犯了罪的， 将不按律法而灭亡； 凡在律法之下犯了罪的， 将按律法受审判。
13 因为在 神面前， 不是听律法的为义， 而是行律法的得称为义。
14 没有律法的外族人， 如果按本性行律法上的事， 他们虽然没有律法， 自己就是自己的律法；
15 这就表明律法的作用是刻在他们的心里， 有他们的良心一同作证， 他们的思想互相较量， 或作控告、或作辩护。
16 这也要照着我所传的福音， 在 神借着耶稣基督审判各人隐情的那一天， 彰显出来。
17 你身为犹太人， 倚靠律法， 仗着 神夸口，
18 而且明白他的旨意， 又从律法得了教导， 能够辨别什么是好的，
19 自信是瞎子的向导， 在黑暗中的人的光，
20 愚昧人的导师， 小孩子的教师， 在律法上得了整套的知识和真理；
21 你既然教导别人， 难道不教导自己吗？你传讲不可偷窃， 自己却偷窃吗？
22 你说不可奸淫， 自己却奸淫吗？你憎恶偶像， 自己却劫掠庙宇吗？
23 你既然以律法夸口， 自己却因犯律法而羞辱 神吗？
24 正如经上所说的： " 神的名， 因你们的缘故在列邦中被亵渎。"
25 你若遵行律法， 割礼固然有益处； 但你若是犯律法的， 你的割礼就不是割礼了。
26 这样， 没有受割礼的人， 如果遵守律法所规定的， 他虽然没有受过割礼， 不也算是受过割礼的吗？
27 那本来没有受割礼却遵守律法的人， 就要审判你这有仪文和割礼而犯律法的人。
28 因为表面上作犹太人的并不是犹太人， 在肉身上表面的割礼也不是割礼。
29 唯有在内心作犹太人的才是犹太人； 割礼也是心里的， 是靠着圣灵而不是靠着仪文。这样的人所受的称赞， 不是从人来的， 而是从 神来的。
