罗马书 3

1 这样说来，犹太人有什么长处？割礼有什么益处呢？ 2 凡事大有好处：第一是　神的圣言交托他们。 3 即便有不信的，这有何妨呢？难道他们的不信就废掉　神的信吗？ 4 断乎不能！不如说，　神是真实的，人都是虚谎的。如经上所记： 你责备人的时候，显为公义； 被人议论的时候，可以得胜。

5 我且照着人的常话说，我们的不义若显出　神的义来，我们可以怎么说呢？　神降怒，是他不义吗？ 6 断乎不是！若是这样，　神怎能审判世界呢？ 7 若　神的真实，因我的虚谎越发显出他的荣耀，为什么我还受审判，好像罪人呢？ 8 为什么不说，我们可以作恶以成善呢？这是毁谤我们的人说我们有这话。这等人定罪是该当的。

没有义人

11 没有明白的； 没有寻求　神的；

12 都是偏离正路， 一同变为无用。 没有行善的，连一个也没有。

13 他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓； 他们用舌头弄诡诈， 嘴唇里有虺蛇的毒气，

14 满口是咒骂苦毒。

15 杀人流血， 他们的脚飞跑，

16 所经过的路便行残害暴虐的事。

17 平安的路，他们未曾知道；

18 他们眼中不怕　神。

19 我们晓得律法上的话都是对律法以下之人说的，好塞住各人的口，叫普世的人都伏在　神审判之下。 20 所以凡有血气的，没有一个因行律法能在　神面前称义，因为律法本是叫人知罪。

因信称义

21 但如今，　神的义在律法以外已经显明出来，有律法和先知为证： 22 就是　神的义，因信耶稣基督加给一切相信的人，并没有分别。 23 因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了　神的荣耀； 24 如今却蒙　神的恩典，因基督耶稣的救赎，就白白地称义。 25 　神设立耶稣作挽回祭，是凭着耶稣的血，借着人的信，要显明　神的义；因为他用忍耐的心宽容人先时所犯的罪， 26 好在今时显明他的义，使人知道他自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义。 27 既是这样，哪里能夸口呢？没有可夸的了。用何法没有的呢？是用立功之法吗？不是，乃用信主之法。 28 所以t我们看定了：人称义是因着信，不在乎遵行律法。 29 难道　神只作犹太人的　神吗？不也是作外邦人的　神吗？是的，也作外邦人的　神。 30 　神既是一位，他就要因信称那受割礼的为义，也要因信称那未受割礼的为义。 31 这样，我们因信废了律法吗？断乎不是！更是坚固律法。

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.
