1Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.
2And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.
3And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6who will render to every man according to his works:
7to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:
8but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation,
9tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;
10but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:
11for there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
13for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;
14(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;
15in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them);
16in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
17But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,
18and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;
21thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?
23thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?
24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.
25For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
27and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?
28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:
29but 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 of men, but of God.
神的公义判断
1你这论断人的,无论你是谁,也无可推诿。你在什么事上论断人,就在什么事上定自己的罪;因你这论断人的,自己所行却和别人一样。
2我们知道这样行的人, 神必照真理审判他。
3你这人哪,你论断行这样事的人,自己所行的却和别人一样,你以为能逃脱 神的审判吗?
4还是你藐视他丰富的恩慈、宽容、忍耐,不晓得他的恩慈是领你悔改呢?
5你竟任着你刚硬不悔改的心,为自己积蓄忿怒,以致 神震怒,显他公义审判的日子来到。
6他必照各人的行为报应各人。
7凡恒心行善、寻求荣耀、尊贵和不能朽坏之福的,就以永生报应他们;
8惟有结党、不顺从真理、反顺从不义的,就以忿怒、恼恨报应他们;
9将患难、困苦加给一切作恶的人,先是犹太人,后是希腊人,
10却将荣耀、尊贵、平安加给一切行善的人,先是犹太人,后是希腊人。
11因为 神不偏待人。
12凡没有律法犯了罪的,也必不按律法灭亡;凡在律法以下犯了罪的,也必按律法受审判。(
13原来在 神面前,不是听律法的为义,乃是行律法的称义。
14没有律法的外邦人若顺着本性行律法上的事,他们虽然没有律法,自己就是自己的律法。
15这是显出律法的功用刻在他们心里,他们是非之心同作见证,并且他们的思念互相较量,或以为是,或以为非。)
16就在 神借耶稣基督审判人隐秘事的日子,照着我的福音所言。
犹太人与律法
17你称为犹太人,又倚靠律法,且指着 神夸口;
18既从律法中受了教训,就晓得 神的旨意,也能分别是非;
19又深信自己是给瞎子领路的,是黑暗中人的光,
20是蠢笨人的师傅,是小孩子的先生,在律法上有知识和真理的模范。
21你既是教导别人,还不教导自己吗?你讲说人不可偷窃,自己还偷窃吗?
22你说人不可奸淫,自己还奸淫吗?你厌恶偶像,自己还偷窃庙中之物吗?
23你指着律法夸口,自己倒犯律法、玷辱 神吗?
24神的名在外邦人中,因你们受了亵渎,正如经上所记的。
25你若是行律法的,割礼固然于你有益;若是犯律法的,你的割礼就算不得割礼。
26所以那未受割礼的,若遵守律法的条例,他虽然未受割礼,岂不算是有割礼吗?
27而且那本来未受割礼的,若能全守律法,岂不是要审判你这有仪文和割礼竟犯律法的人吗?
28因为外面作犹太人的,不是真犹太人;外面肉身的割礼,也不是真割礼。
29惟有里面作的,才是真犹太人;真割礼也是心里的,在乎灵,不在乎仪文。这人的称赞不是从人来的,乃是从 神来的。
