Chapter 3

1 What5101 advantage4053 then3767 has the Jew?2453 or2228 what5101 profit5622 is there of circumcision?4061

2 Much4183 every3956 way:5158 chiefly,4412 because3754 that to them were committed4100 the oracles3051 of God.2316

3 For what5101 if1487 some5100 did not believe?569 shall their unbelief570 make2673 the faith4102 of God2316 without2673 effect?2673

4 God3361 1096 forbid:3361 1096 yes,1161 let God2316 be true,227 but every3956 man444 a liar;5583 as it is written,1125 That you might be justified1344 in your sayings,3056 and might overcome3528 when1723 3588 you are judged.2919

5 But if1487 our unrighteousness93 commend4921 the righteousness1343 of God,2316 what5101 shall we say?2046 Is God2316 unrighteous94 who3588 takes2018 vengeance?3709 (I speak3004 as a man)444

6 God3361 1096 forbid:3361 1096 for then how4459 shall God2316 judge2919 the world?2889

7 For if1487 the truth225 of God2316 has more abounded4052 through1722 my lie5582 to his glory;1391 why5101 yet2089 am I also2504 judged2919 as a sinner?268

8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously987 reported,987 and as some5100 affirm5346 that we say,3004) Let us do4160 evil,2556 that good18 may come?2064 whose3739 damnation2917 is just.1738

9 What5101 then?3767 are we better4284 than they? No,3756 in no3843 wise:3843 for we have2192 before4256 proved4256 both5037 Jews2453 and Gentiles,1672 that they are all3956 under5259 sin;266

10 As it is written,1125 There is none3756 righteous,1342 no, not one:1520

11 There is none3756 that understands,4920 there is none3756 that seeks1567 after1567 God.2316

12 They are all3956 gone1578 out of the way, they are together260 become889 unprofitable;889 there is none3756 that does4160 good,5544 no, not one.1520

13 Their throat2995 is an open455 sepulcher;5028 with their tongues1100 they have used1387 deceit;1387 the poison2447 of asps785 is under5259 their lips:5491

14 Whose3739 mouth4750 is full1073 of cursing685 and bitterness:4088

15 Their feet4228 are swift3691 to shed1632 blood:129

16 Destruction4938 and misery5004 are in their ways:3598

17 And the way3598 of peace1515 have they not known:1097

18 There is no3756 fear5401 of God2316 before561 their eyes.3788

19 Now1161 we know1492 that what3745 things soever1437 the law3551 said,3004 it said2980 to them who are under1722 the law:3551 that every3956 mouth4750 may be stopped,5420 and all3956 the world2889 may become1096 guilty5267 before God.2316

20 Therefore1360 by the deeds2041 of the law3551 there shall no3756 3956 flesh4561 be justified1344 in his sight:1799 for by the law3551 is the knowledge1922 of sin.266

21 But now3568 the righteousness1343 of God2316 without5565 the law3551 is manifested,5319 being witnessed3140 by the law3551 and the prophets;4396

22 Even1161 the righteousness1343 of God2316 which is by faith4102 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 to all3956 and on all3956 them that believe:4100 for there is no3756 difference:1293

23 For all3956 have sinned,264 and come5302 short5302 of the glory1391 of God;2316

24 Being justified1344 freely1432 by his grace5485 through1223 the redemption629 that is in Christ5547 Jesus:2424

25 Whom3739 God2316 has set4388 forth4388 to be a propitiation2435 through1223 faith4102 in his blood,129 to declare1732 his righteousness1343 for the remission3929 of sins265 that are past,4266 through1722 the forbearance463 of God;2316

26 To declare,1732 I say, at1722 this3588 3568 time2540 his righteousness:1343 that he might be just,1342 and the justifier1344 of him which believes1537 4102 in Jesus.2424

27 Where4226 is boasting2746 then?3767 It is excluded.1576 By what4169 law?3551 of works?2041 No:3780 but by the law3551 of faith.4102

28 Therefore3767 we conclude3049 that a man444 is justified1344 by faith4102 without5565 the deeds2041 of the law.3551

29 Is he the God2316 of the Jews2453 only?3440 is he not also2532 of the Gentiles?1484 Yes,3483 of the Gentiles1484 also:2532

30 Seeing1897 it is one1520 God,2316 which3739 shall justify1344 the circumcision4061 by faith,4102 and uncircumcision203 through1223 faith.4102

31 Do we then3767 make2673 void2673 the law3551 through1223 faith?4102 God3336 1096 forbid:3361 1096 yes,235 we establish2476 the law.3551

第3章

1 這樣說來,猶太人有甚麼長處?割禮有甚麼益處呢?

2 凡事大有好處;第一要緊的[chiefly],是因為[because]神的聖言交託他們。

3 即便有不信的,這有何妨呢?難道他們的不信就廢掉神的信嗎?

4 [God]斷乎不能。不如說,神是真實的,人都是虛謊的。如經上所記:你責備人的時候,顯為公義;被人議論的時候,可以得勝。

5 (我且照著人的常話說)我們的不義若顯出神的義來,我們可以怎麼說呢?神施行報應[taketh vengeance],是他不義嗎?

6 [God]斷乎不是。若是這樣,神怎能審判世界呢?

7 若神的真理[the truth],因我的虛謊越發顯出他的榮耀,為甚麼我還受審判,好像罪人呢?

8 為甚麼不說,我們可以作惡以成善呢?(這是毀謗我們的人說我們有這話。)這等人受咒詛[damnation]是該當的。

9 這卻怎麼樣呢?我們比他們強麼?決不是的。因我們已經證明,猶太人和外邦人[Gentiles]都在罪惡之下。

10 就如經上所記:沒有義人,連一個也沒有。

11 沒有明白的;沒有尋求神的;

12 都是偏離正路,一同變為無用。沒有行善的,連一個也沒有。

13 他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓;他們用舌頭弄詭詐,嘴唇裏有毒蛇的毒液[poison of asps]

14 滿口是咒罵苦毒。

15 殺人流血,他們的腳飛跑,

16 他們[their]所經過的路便行毀滅和苦難[Destruction and misery]的事。

17 平安的路,他們未曾知道;

18 他們眼中不怕神。

19 我們曉得律法上的話都是對律法以下之人說的,好塞住各人的口,叫普世的人都在神面前顯為有罪[become guilty before God]

20 所以凡有血氣的,沒有一個因行律法能在神[sight]前稱義,因為律法本是叫人知罪。

21 但如今,神的義在律法以外已經顯明出來,有律法和先知為證:

22 就是神的義,因信耶穌基督加給一切相信的人,並沒有分別。

23 因為世人都犯了罪,虧缺了神的榮耀;

24 如今卻蒙神的恩典,因基督耶穌的救贖,就白白的稱義。

25 神設立耶穌作挽回祭,是憑著耶穌的血,藉著人的信,要顯明神的義;因為他用忍耐的心赦免[remission]人先時所犯的罪,

26 好在今時顯明他的義,使人知道他自己為義,也稱信耶穌的人為義。

27 既是這樣,哪裏能誇口呢?沒有可誇的了。用何法沒有的呢?是用立功之法嗎?不是,乃用信主之法。

28 所以[Therefore]我們看定了:人稱義是因著信,不在乎遵行律法。

29 難道神只作猶太人的神嗎?不也是作外邦人的神嗎?是的,也作外邦人的神。

30 神既是一位,他就要因信稱那受割禮的為義,也要因信稱那未受割禮的為義。

31 這樣,我們因信廢了律法嗎?[God]斷乎不是。更是堅固律法。
