罗马书 3

1 那么，犹太人有什么长处呢？割礼有什么价值呢？2 其实益处非常多！首先，上帝的圣言托付给了犹太人。3 虽然有些人不相信，但那有什么关系呢？难道上帝的信实可靠会因他们的不信而化为无有吗？4 当然不会！纵然人人都撒谎，上帝仍然真实可靠。正如圣经上说：“你的判语证明你是公义的；你虽被人控告，却终必得胜。”5 我姑且用人的观点说：“如果我们的不义可以反衬出上帝的公义，我们该做何论？上帝向我们发怒是祂不公正吗？”6 当然不是！若是这样，上帝怎么能审判这世界呢？7 你们又说：“如果我们的虚谎凸显出上帝的真实，增加祂的荣耀，为什么祂还要把我们当作罪人审判呢？”8 为什么你们不干脆说“我们作恶吧，好成就善事”？有人毁谤我们，说我们传这种道理。这些人受审判是罪有应得！

没有义人

9 那么，我们犹太人比别人优越吗？绝对不是！我们已经说过，无论是犹太人还是希腊人，所有的人都身陷罪中。

10 正如圣经上说：
“没有义人，一个也没有，

11 没有人明白，没有人寻求上帝。

12 人人偏离正路，变得毫无价值。
没有人行善，一个也没有。

13 他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓，
舌头上尽是诡诈，
嘴唇有蛇的毒液，

14 满口咒诅，言语恶毒；

15 杀人流血，脚步飞快；

16 所到之处，大肆毁灭；

17 平安之路，他们未曾知道；

18 他们毫不敬畏上帝。”

19 我们知道律法所讲的都是针对律法之下的人，好叫所有的人都无话可说，使全世界都伏在上帝的审判之下。20 因为无人能够靠遵行律法而被上帝视为义人，律法的本意是要使人知罪。

因信称义

21 但如今，上帝的义在律法以外显明出来，有律法和众先知做见证。22 人只要信耶稣基督，就可以被上帝称为义人，没有一个人例外。23 因为世人都犯了罪，亏欠上帝的荣耀，24 但蒙上帝的恩典，靠着基督耶稣的救赎，世人被无条件地称为义人。25 上帝使基督耶稣成为赎罪祭，以便人借着相信耶稣的宝血可以得到赦免。这是为了显明上帝的义，因为祂用忍耐的心宽容人过去的罪，26 好在现今显明祂的义，使人知道祂是公义的，祂也称信耶稣的为义人。

27 既然如此，我们哪里能夸口呢？当然没有什么可夸的了。用什么方法让人不能夸口呢？是用行善立功的方法吗？不是！是用信主得救的方法。28 因为我们坚信人被称为义人是借着信，不是靠遵行律法。29 难道上帝只是犹太人的上帝吗？祂不也是外族人的上帝吗？祂当然也是外族人的上帝。30 因为上帝只有一位，祂称受割礼的人为义人是本着信，称未受割礼的人为义人也是本着信。31 这么说来，我们是借着信心废掉上帝的律法吗？当然不是！我们反倒是巩固律法。

Romans 3

1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?2 Actually, there are many advantages.t First of all,st the Jewst were entrusted with the oracles of God.t3 What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

4 Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human beingt shown up as a liar,t just as it is written: “so that you will be justifiedtin your words and will prevail when you are judged.”t
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstratest the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he?t (I am speaking in human terms.)s6 Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world?7 For if by my lie the truth of God enhancest his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

8 And why not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”? – as some who slander us allege that we say.t (Theirt condemnation is deserved!)

The Condemnation of the World

9 What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,

10 just as it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one,

11 there is no one who understands,
there is no one who seeks God.

12 All have turned away,
together they have become worthless;
there is no one who shows kindness, not even one.”s

13 “Their throats are open graves,t
they deceive with their tongues,
the poison of asps is under their lips.”s

14 “Their mouths aretfull of cursing and bitterness.”s

15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,

16 ruin and misery are in their paths,

17 and the way of peace they have not known.”s

18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”s
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are undert the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.20 For no one is declared righteous before hims by the works of the law,t for through the law comest the knowledge of sin.21 But nowt apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets)t has been disclosed –22 namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christts for all who believe. For there is no distinction,23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.24 But they are justifiedt freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.25 God publicly displayedt himt at his deatht as the mercy seatt accessible through faith.t This was to demonstratet his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.t

26 This wast also to demonstratet his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be justt and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.t
27 Where, then, is boasting?t It is excluded! By what principle?t Of works? No, but by the principle of faith!28 For we consider that a persont is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.t29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too!30 Since God is one,t he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

31 Do we then nullifyt the law through faith? Absolutely not! Insteadt we uphold the law.
