Romans 2

1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

1 因此，你这论断人的啊，不管你是谁，都难逃罪责。你在什么事上论断别人，就在什么事上定了自己的罪，因为你论断别人，自己却在做同样的事。

2 And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

2 我们都知道，上帝必按真理审判做这些事的人。

3 So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

3 你这人啊，你论断别人，自己却做同样的事，你以为自己能逃脱上帝的审判吗？

4 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

4 还是你藐视祂深厚的慈爱、宽容和忍耐，不知道祂的慈爱是要引导你悔改吗？

5 But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

5 你这样硬着心不肯悔改，等于是在为自己积蓄烈怒，上帝的烈怒必在祂施行公义审判的日子临到你。

6 God “will repay each one according to his deeds.”

6 上帝必照各人的行为施行赏罚。

7 To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.

7 凡是恒心行善、寻求荣耀、尊贵和永恒福分的人，祂要把永生赐给他们；

8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.

8 凡是自私自利、违背真理、行为不义的人，祂的烈怒和怒气要降在他们身上。

9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek;

9 一切作恶之人必受患难和痛苦，先是犹太人，然后是希腊人。

10 but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek.

10 一切行善之人必享荣耀、尊贵和平安，先是犹太人，然后是希腊人。

11 For God does not show favoritism.

11 因为上帝不偏待人。

12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

12 没有上帝律法的人若犯罪，虽然不按律法受审判，仍要灭亡；有上帝律法的人若犯罪，必按律法受审判。

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

13 因为在上帝面前，不是仅仅听到律法的人是义人，而是遵行律法的人才能被称为义人。

14 Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

14 没有律法的外族人若顺着天性做合乎律法的事，他们虽然没有律法，自己就是自己的律法。

15 So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

15 这表明律法的要求刻在他们心里，他们的良心也可以做见证，并且他们的思想有时指控他们，有时为他们辩护。

16 on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

16 按照我所传的福音，到了审判之日，上帝要借着耶稣基督审判人一切隐秘的事。

17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;

17 你自称是犹太人，倚仗上帝所赐的律法，自夸与上帝有特别的关系；

18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

18 你受过律法的教导，知道上帝的旨意，能明辨是非；

19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness,

19 你自信可以做盲人的向导、黑暗中的人的光、

20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

20 愚昧人的师傅、小孩子的老师，因为你从律法中得到了知识和真理。

21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

21 那么，你这教导别人的，为什么不教导自己呢？你教导人不可偷盗，自己却偷盗吗？

22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

22 你告诉他人不可通奸，自己却通奸吗？你憎恶偶像，自己却去偷庙里的东西吗？

23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

23 你以律法自夸，自己却违背律法羞辱上帝吗？

24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

24 正如圣经上说：“因你们的缘故，上帝的名在外族人中受到亵渎！”

25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

25 如果你遵行律法，割礼才有价值；如果你违背律法，受了割礼也如同未受割礼。

26 If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

26 如果未受割礼的人遵行律法的教导，他岂不算是受了割礼吗？

27 The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

27 身体未受割礼却遵行律法的人，必审判你这有律法条文、受了割礼却违背律法的人。

28 A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

28 因为徒具外表的犹太人不是真正的犹太人，身体上的割礼也不是真正的割礼。

29 No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.

29 唯有从心里做犹太人的才是真犹太人，真割礼是借着圣灵在心里受的割礼，不在于律法条文。这样的人得到的称赞不是从人来的，而是从上帝来的。
