1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:" 7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation, 9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified 14 (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God, 18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, 20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth. 21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal? 22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law? 24 For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," just as it is written. 25 For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision? 27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from 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。
