¹　神照各人所作的報應各人你這判斷人的啊！無論你是誰，都沒有辦法推諉。你在甚麼事上判斷人，就在甚麼事上定自己的罪；因為你所作的，正是你所判斷的事。

¹Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

²我們知道，　神必照著真理審判行這些事的人。

²We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

³你這個人，你判斷行這些事的人，自己所行的卻是一樣，你以為能逃脫　神的審判嗎？

³Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

⁴還是你藐視　神豐富的恩慈、寬容和忍耐，不曉得他的恩慈是要領你悔改的嗎？

⁴Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

⁵可是你一直硬著心腸，不肯悔改，為自己積蓄　神的忿怒，就是他彰顯公義審判的那天所要發的忿怒。

⁵But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

⁶　神必照各人所作的報應各人：

⁶who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:” Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12

⁷以永生報答那些耐心行善、尋求榮耀尊貴和不朽的人，

⁷to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

⁸卻以震怒和憤恨報應那些自私自利、不順從真理而順從不義的人；

⁸but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

⁹把患難和愁苦加給所有作惡的人，先是猶太人，後是希臘人，

⁹oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁰卻把榮耀、尊貴與平安賜給所有行善的人，先是猶太人，後是希臘人。

¹⁰But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹¹因為　神並不偏待人。

¹¹For there is no partiality with God.

¹²律法的作用刻在人心凡不在律法之下犯了罪的，將不按律法而滅亡；凡在律法之下犯了罪的，將按律法受審判。

¹²For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

¹³因為在　神面前，不是聽律法的為義，而是行律法的得稱為義。

¹³For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

¹⁴沒有律法的外族人，如果按本性行律法上的事，他們雖然沒有律法，自己就是自己的律法；

¹⁴(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,

¹⁵這就表明律法的作用是刻在他們的心裡，有他們的良心一同作證，他們的思想互相較量，或作控告、或作辯護。

¹⁵in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)

¹⁶這也要照著我所傳的福音，在　神藉著耶穌基督審判各人隱情的那一天，彰顯出來。

¹⁶in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

¹⁷內心作猶太人的才是猶太人你身為猶太人，倚靠律法，仗著　神誇口，

¹⁷Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,

¹⁸而且明白他的旨意，又從律法得了教導，能夠辨別甚麼是好的，

¹⁸and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

¹⁹自信是瞎子的嚮導，在黑暗中的人的光，

¹⁹and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

²⁰愚昧人的導師，小孩子的教師，在律法上得了整套的知識和真理；

²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

²¹你既然教導別人，難道不教導自己嗎？你傳講不可偷竊，自己卻偷竊嗎？

²¹You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?

²²你說不可姦淫，自己卻姦淫嗎？你憎惡偶像，自己卻劫掠廟宇嗎？

²²You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

²³你既然以律法誇口，自己卻因犯律法而羞辱　神嗎？

²³You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God?

²⁴正如經上所說的：“　神的名，因你們的緣故在列邦中被褻瀆。”

²⁴For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22 just as it is written.

²⁵你若遵行律法，割禮固然有益處；但你若是犯律法的，你的割禮就不是割禮了。

²⁵For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

²⁶這樣，沒有受割禮的人，如果遵守律法所規定的，他雖然沒有受過割禮，不也算是受過割禮的嗎？

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

²⁷那本來沒有受割禮卻遵守律法的人，就要審判你這有儀文和割禮而犯律法的人。

²⁷Won’t the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

²⁸因為表面上作猶太人的並不是猶太人，在肉身上表面的割禮也不是割禮。

²⁸For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

²⁹唯有在內心作猶太人的才是猶太人；割禮也是心裡的，是靠著聖靈而不是靠著儀文。這樣的人所受的稱讚，不是從人來的，而是從　神來的。

²⁹but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
