罗马书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝公义的审判
2 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,因为你论断别人的事,自己也在做。 2 我们都知道,上帝必按真理审判做这些事的人。 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 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 你这样硬着心不肯悔改等于是为自己积蓄烈怒,上帝的烈怒在祂施行公义审判的那天必临到你。 6 上帝必照各人的行为施行赏罚。 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 至于那些自私自利、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 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 祂要将荣耀、尊贵和平安赐给一切行善的人,先是犹太人,然后是希腊人。 11 因为上帝不偏待人。
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 因为上帝眼中的义人不是听到律法的人,而是遵行律法的人。 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 这表明律法的要求刻在他们心里,他们的良心也可以证明,因为他们的思想有时指控他们,有时为他们辩护。 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。
犹太人与律法
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 你受过律法的教导,知道上帝的旨意,能明辨是非; 19 你自信可以做盲人的向导、黑暗中的人的光、 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 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 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 你以律法自夸,自己却违犯律法羞辱上帝吗? 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 如果你遵行律法,割礼才有价值;如果你违犯律法,受了割礼也如同未受割礼。 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 身体未受割礼却遵行律法的人,必审判你这有律法条文、受了割礼却违犯律法的人。 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 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。

O julgamento de Deus
2 Talvez você pense que pode condenar esses indivíduos, mas é igual a eles e não tem desculpa! Quando diz que eles deveriam ser castigados, condena a si mesmo, porque você, que julga os outros, pratica as mesmas coisas. 2 E sabemos que Deus, em sua justiça, castigará todos que praticam tais coisas. 3 Uma vez que você julga outros por fazerem essas coisas, o que o leva a pensar que evitará o julgamento de Deus ao agir da mesma forma? 4 Não percebe quanto ele é bondoso, tolerante e paciente com você? Não vê que essas manifestações da bondade de Deus visam levá-lo ao arrependimento?
5 Mas, por causa de seu coração rebelde, você se recusa a abandonar o pecado, acumulando ira sobre si mesmo. Pois o dia da ira se aproxima, quando o justo juízo de Deus se revelará. 6 Ele julgará cada um de acordo com seus atos. 7 Dará vida eterna àqueles que, persistindo em fazer o bem, buscam glória, honra e imortalidade. 8 Mas derramará ira e indignação sobre os que vivem para si mesmos, que se recusam a obedecer à verdade e preferem entregar-se a uma vida de perversidade. 9 A todos que praticam o mal, ele trará aflição e calamidade: primeiro para os judeus, e também para os gentios.[a] 10 Mas, a todos que fazem o bem, ele dará glória, honra e paz: primeiro para os judeus, e também para os gentios. 11 Pois Deus não age com favoritismo.
12 Assim, todos os que pecarem, mesmo não tendo a lei escrita de Deus, serão destruídos. E todos os que pecarem estando sob a lei de Deus, de acordo com essa lei serão julgados. 13 Pois o simples ato de ouvir a lei não nos torna justos diante de Deus, mas sim a obediência à lei é que nos torna justos aos olhos dele. 14 Até mesmo os gentios, que não têm a lei escrita, quando obedecem a ela instintivamente, mostram que conhecem a lei, mesmo não a tendo. 15 Demonstram que a lei está gravada em seu coração, pois sua consciência e seus pensamentos os acusam ou lhes dizem que estão agindo corretamente. 16 Isso se confirmará no dia em que Deus julgar os segredos de cada um por meio de Cristo Jesus, de acordo com as boas-novas que anuncio.
Os judeus e a lei
17 Você, que se diz judeu, se apoia na lei de Deus e se orgulha de seu relacionamento especial com ele. 18 Conhece a vontade de Deus: sabe o que é certo, porque foi instruído em sua lei. 19 Está convencido de que é guia para os cegos e luz para os que estão perdidos na escuridão. 20 Considera-se capaz de instruir os ignorantes e ensinar os caminhos de Deus às crianças. Está certo de que a lei de Deus lhe dá pleno conhecimento e verdade.
21 Pois bem, se você ensina a outros, por que não ensina a si mesmo? Diz a outros que não roubem, mas você mesmo rouba? 22 Afirma que é errado cometer adultério, mas você mesmo adultera? Condena a idolatria, mas rouba objetos dos templos? 23 Você, que tanto se orgulha de conhecer a lei, desonra a Deus, desobedecendo à lei? 24 Não é de admirar que as Escrituras digam: “Os gentios blasfemam o nome de Deus por causa de vocês”.[b]
25 A prática judaica da circuncisão só tem valor se você obedece à lei de Deus. Mas se você, que é circuncidado, não obedece à lei de Deus, não é diferente de um gentio incircuncidado. 26 E, se os incircuncidados obedecerem à lei de Deus, acaso não serão também considerados circuncidados? 27 De fato, os gentios incircuncidados que cumprem a lei de Deus condenarão você, judeu, que é circuncidado e tem a lei de Deus, mas não obedece a ela.
28 Pois ser judeu exteriormente ou ser circuncidado não torna ninguém judeu de fato. 29 Judeu verdadeiro é quem o é no íntimo, e circuncisão verdadeira é a do coração, feita pelo Espírito, e não pela letra da lei, recebendo assim a aprovação de Deus, e não das pessoas.
Romains 2
La Bible du Semeur
Celui qui condamne les autres se condamne lui-même
2 Toi donc, qui que tu sois, qui condamnes autrui, tu n’as aucune excuse, car en condamnant les autres, tu te condamnes toi-même, puisque toi qui les condamnes, tu te conduis comme eux. 2 Or, nous savons que le jugement de Dieu contre ceux qui agissent ainsi est conforme à la vérité.
3 T’imaginerais-tu, toi qui condamnes ceux qui commettent de tels actes, et qui te comportes comme eux, que tu vas échapper à la condamnation divine ? 4 Ou alors, méprises-tu les trésors de bonté, de patience et de générosité déployés par Dieu, sans te rendre compte que sa bonté veut t’amener à changer[a] ?
5 Par ton entêtement et ton refus de changer, tu te prépares un châtiment d’autant plus grand pour le jour où se manifesteront la colère et le juste jugement de Dieu.
6 Ce jour-là, il donnera à chacun ce que lui auront valu ses actes[b].
7 Ceux qui, en pratiquant le bien avec persévérance, cherchent la gloire à venir, l’honneur et l’immortalité, recevront de lui la vie éternelle[c]. 8 Mais, à ceux qui, par ambition personnelle[d], repoussent la vérité et cèdent à l’injustice, Dieu réserve sa colère et sa fureur.
9 Oui, la souffrance et l’angoisse attendent tout homme qui pratique le mal, le Juif en premier lieu et aussi le non-Juif.
10 Mais la gloire à venir, l’honneur et la paix seront accordés à celui qui pratique le bien, quel qu’il soit, d’abord le Juif et aussi le non-Juif, 11 car Dieu ne fait pas de favoritisme.
12 Ceux qui ont péché sans avoir eu connaissance de la Loi de Moïse périront sans qu’elle intervienne dans leur jugement. Mais ceux qui ont péché alors qu’ils étaient soumis au régime de la Loi seront jugés conformément à la Loi. 13 Car ce ne sont pas ceux qui se contentent d’écouter la lecture de la Loi qui seront justes aux yeux de Dieu. Non, seuls ceux qui appliquent la Loi sont considérés comme justes.
14 En effet, lorsque les païens qui n’ont pas la Loi de Moïse accomplissent naturellement ce que demande cette Loi, ils se tiennent lieu de loi à eux-mêmes, alors qu’ils n’ont pas la Loi. 15 Ils démontrent par leur comportement que les œuvres demandées par la Loi sont inscrites dans leur cœur. Leur conscience en témoigne également, ainsi que les raisonnements par lesquels ils s’accusent ou s’excusent les uns les autres[e]. 16 Tout cela paraîtra le jour[f] où, conformément à l’Evangile que j’annonce, Dieu jugera par Jésus-Christ tout ce que les hommes ont caché.
Les Juifs sont coupables devant Dieu
17 Eh bien, toi qui te donnes le nom de Juif, tu te reposes sur la Loi, tu fais de Dieu ton sujet de fierté[g], 18 tu connais sa volonté, tu juges de ce qui est le meilleur parce que tu es instruit par la Loi. 19 Tu es certain d’être le guide des aveugles, la lumière de ceux qui errent dans les ténèbres, 20 l’éducateur des insensés, l’enseignant des ignorants, tout cela sous prétexte que tu as dans la Loi l’expression parfaite de la connaissance et de la vérité. 21 Toi donc, qui enseignes les autres, tu ne t’enseignes pas toi-même. Tu prêches aux autres de ne pas voler, et tu voles ! 22 Tu dis de ne pas commettre d’adultère, et tu commets l’adultère ! Tu as les idoles en horreur, et tu commets des sacrilèges[h] ! 23 Tu es fier de posséder la Loi, mais tu déshonores Dieu en y désobéissant ! 24 Et ainsi, comme le dit l’Ecriture, à cause de vous, Juifs, le nom de Dieu est outragé parmi les païens[i].
25 Assurément, être circoncis a un sens – à condition d’appliquer la Loi. Mais, si tu désobéis à la Loi, être circoncis n’a pas plus de valeur que d’être incirconcis.
26 Mais si l’incirconcis accomplit ce que la Loi définit comme juste, cet incirconcis ne sera-t-il pas considéré comme un circoncis ?
27 Et cet homme qui accomplit la Loi sans être physiquement circoncis ne va-t-il pas te condamner, toi qui désobéis à la Loi tout en possédant les Ecritures et la circoncision ?
28 Car ce n’est pas ce qui est visible qui fait le Juif, ni la marque visible dans la chair qui fait la circoncision, 29 mais ce qui fait le Juif c’est ce qui est intérieur, et la vraie circoncision est celle que l’Esprit opère dans le cœur et non celle que l’on pratique en obéissant à la lettre de la Loi.
Tel est le Juif qui reçoit sa louange, non des hommes, mais de Dieu.

Romans 2
New International Version
God’s Righteous Judgment
2 You, therefore, have no excuse,(A) you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.(B) 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches(C) of his kindness,(D) forbearance(E) and patience,(F) not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?(G)
5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath(H), when his righteous judgment(I) will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a](J) 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor(K) and immortality,(L) he will give eternal life.(M) 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(N) there will be wrath and anger.(O) 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(P) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(Q) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(R) 11 For God does not show favoritism.(S)
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(T) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(U) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(V) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(W) through Jesus Christ,(X) as my gospel(Y) declares.
The Jews and the Law
17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;(Z) 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?(AA) 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?(AB) 23 You who boast in the law,(AC) do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[b](AD)
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law,(AE) but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.(AF) 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements,(AG) will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?(AH) 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you(AI) who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,(AJ) nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.(AK) 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,(AL) by the Spirit,(AM) not by the written code.(AN) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.(AO)

Chapter 2
God’s Just Judgment. 1 [a]Therefore, you are without excuse,(A) every one of you who passes judgment.[b] For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true. 3 Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?(B) 4 Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance?(C) 5 By your stubbornness and impenitent heart,(D) you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, 6 (E)who will repay everyone according to his works:[c] 7 eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, 8 but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.(F) 9 Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek. 10 (G)But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek. 11 [d](H)There is no partiality with God.
Judgment by the Interior Law.[e] 12 All who sin outside the law will also perish without reference to it, and all who sin under the law will be judged in accordance with it.(I) 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are just in the sight of God; rather, those who observe the law will be justified.(J) 14 For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law.(K) 15 They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts,[f] while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge people’s hidden works through Christ Jesus.(L)
Judgment by the Mosaic Law.[g] 17 Now if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of God(M) 18 and know his will and are able to discern what is important since you are instructed from the law,(N) 19 and if you are confident that you are a guide for the blind and a light for those in darkness,(O) 20 that you are a trainer of the foolish and teacher of the simple,(P) because in the law you have the formulation of knowledge and truth— 21 then you who teach another, are you failing to teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?(Q) 22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast of the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 (R)For, as it is written, “Because of you the name of God is reviled among the Gentiles.”[h]
25 (S)Circumcision, to be sure, has value if you observe the law; but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.(T) 26 Again, if an uncircumcised man keeps the precepts of the law, will he not be considered circumcised?(U) 27 Indeed, those who are physically uncircumcised but carry out the law will pass judgment on you, with your written law and circumcision, who break the law. 28 One is not a Jew outwardly. True circumcision is not outward, in the flesh.(V) 29 Rather, one is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit, not the letter; his praise is not from human beings but from God.(W)
Footnotes
- 2:1–3:20 After his general indictment of the Gentile, Paul shows that in spite of special revelation Jews enjoy no advantage in moral status before God (Rom 3:1–8). With the entire human race now declared guilty before God (Rom 3:9–20), Paul will then be able to display the solution for the total problem: salvation through God’s redemptive work that is revealed in Christ Jesus for all who believe (Rom 3:21–31).
- 2:1–11 As a first step in his demonstration that Jews enjoy no real moral supremacy over Gentiles, Paul explains that the final judgment will be a review of performance, not of privilege. From this perspective Gentiles stand on an equal footing with Jews, and Jews cannot condemn the sins of Gentiles without condemning themselves.
- 2:6 Will repay everyone according to his works: Paul reproduces the Septuagint text of Ps 62:12 and Prv 24:12.
- 2:11 No partiality with God: this sentence is not at variance with the statements in Rom 2:9–10. Since Jews are the first to go under indictment, it is only fair that they be given first consideration in the distribution of blessings. Basic, of course, is the understanding that God accepts no bribes (Dt 10:17).
- 2:12–16 Jews cannot reasonably demand from Gentiles the standard of conduct inculcated in the Old Testament since God did not address its revelation to them. Rather, God made it possible for Gentiles to know instinctively the difference between right and wrong. But, as Paul explained in Rom 1:18–32, humanity misread the evidence of God’s existence, power, and divinity, and “while claiming to be wise, they became fools” (Rom 1:22).
- 2:15 Paul expands on the thought of Jer 31:33; Wis 17:11.
- 2:17–29 Mere possession of laws is no evidence of virtue. By eliminating circumcision as an elitist moral sign, Paul clears away the last obstacle to his presentation of justification through faith without claims based on the receipt of circumcision and its attendant legal obligations.
- 2:24 According to Is 52:5 the suffering of Israel prompts her enemies to revile God. Paul uses the passage in support of his point that the present immorality of Israelites is the cause of such defamation.
