羅馬書 2

上帝的公義判斷

1 你這論斷人的，無論你是誰，也無可推諉。你在甚麼事上論斷人，就在甚麼事上定自己的罪；因你這論斷人的，自己所行卻和別人一樣。 2 我們知道這樣行的人，上帝必照真理審判他。 3 你這人哪，你論斷行這樣事的人，自己所行的卻和別人一樣，你以為能逃脫上帝的審判嗎？ 4 還是你藐視他豐富的恩慈、寬容、忍耐，不曉得他的恩慈是領你悔改呢？ 5 你竟任著你剛硬不悔改的心，為自己積蓄忿怒，以致上帝震怒，顯他公義審判的日子來到。 6 他必照各人的行為報應各人。 7 凡恆心行善、尋求榮耀、尊貴和不能朽壞之福的，就以永生報應他們； 8 惟有結黨、不順從真理、反順從不義的，就以忿怒、惱恨報應他們； 9 將患難、困苦加給一切作惡的人，先是猶太人，後是希臘人， 10 卻將榮耀、尊貴、平安加給一切行善的人，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。 11 因為上帝不偏待人。 12 凡沒有律法犯了罪的，也必不按律法滅亡；凡在律法以下犯了罪的，也必按律法受審判。（ 13 原來在上帝面前，不是聽律法的為義，乃是行律法的稱義。 14 沒有律法的外邦人若順著本性行律法上的事，他們雖然沒有律法，自己就是自己的律法。 15 這是顯出律法的功用刻在他們心裏，他們是非之心同作見證，並且他們的思念互相較量，或以為是，或以為非。） 16 就在上帝藉耶穌基督審判人隱祕事的日子，照著我的福音所言。

猶太人與律法

17 你稱為猶太人，又倚靠律法，且指著上帝誇口； 18 既從律法中受了教訓，就曉得上帝的旨意，也能分別是非t； 19 又深信自己是給瞎子領路的，是黑暗中人的光， 20 是蠢笨人的師傅，是小孩子的先生，在律法上有知識和真理的模範。 21 你既是教導別人，還不教導自己嗎？你講說人不可偷竊，自己還偷竊嗎？ 22 你說人不可姦淫，自己還姦淫嗎？你厭惡偶像，自己還偷竊廟中之物嗎？ 23 你指著律法誇口，自己倒犯律法、玷辱上帝嗎？ 24 上帝的名在外邦人中，因你們受了褻瀆，正如經上所記的。 25 你若是行律法的，割禮固然於你有益；若是犯律法的，你的割禮就算不得割禮。 26 所以那未受割禮的，若遵守律法的條例，他雖然未受割禮，豈不算是有割禮嗎？ 27 而且那本來未受割禮的，若能全守律法，豈不是要審判你這有儀文和割禮竟犯律法的人嗎？ 28 因為外面作猶太人的，不是真猶太人；外面肉身的割禮，也不是真割禮。 29 惟有裏面作的，才是真猶太人；真割禮也是心裏的，在乎靈，不在乎儀文。這人的稱讚不是從人來的，乃是從上帝來的。

Romans 2

The Condemnation of the Moralist

1 s Thereforet you are without excuse,t whoever you are,t when you judge someone else.t For on whatever groundst you judge another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge practice the same things.2 Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with trutht against those who practice such things.3 And do you think,t whoever you are, when you judget those who practice such things and yet do them yourself,t that you will escape God’s judgment?4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not knowt that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?5 But because of your stubbornnesst and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!t6 Hetwill rewardteach one according to his works:s7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,8 butt wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambitiont and do not obey the truth but followt unrighteousness.9 There will bet affliction and distress on everyonet who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,s10 butt glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.11 For there is no partiality with God.12 For all who have sinned apart from the laws will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous.t14 For whenever the Gentiles,s who do not have the law, do by naturet the things required by the law,t these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.15 Theyt show that the work of the law is writtent in their hearts, as their conscience bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or else defendt them,t

16 on the day when God will judget the secrets of human hearts,t according to my gospels through Christ Jesus.

The Condemnation of the Jew

17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the laws and boast of your relationship to Godt18 and know his willt and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,t19 and if you are convincedt that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,20 an educator of the senseless, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the essential features of knowledge and of the truth –21 thereforet you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?22 You who tell others not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhort idols, do you rob temples?23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law!

24 For just as it is written, “the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”s
25 For circumcisions has its value if you practice the law, butt if you break the law,t your circumcision has become uncircumcision.26 Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeyst the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?27 And will not the physically uncircumcised mant who keeps the law judge you who, despitet the written codet and circumcision, transgress the law?28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something that is outward in the flesh,

29 but someone is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the hearts by the Spiritt and not by the written code.t This person’st praise is not from people but from God.
