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。
Romans 2
New Testament for Everyone
God’s coming judgment will be impartial, the same for all
2 So you have no excuse—anyone, whoever you are, who sits in judgment! When you judge someone else, you condemn yourself, because you, who are behaving as a judge, are doing the same things. 2 We know that God’s judgment falls, in accordance with the truth, on those who do such things. 3 But if you judge those who do them and yet do them yourself, do you really suppose that you will escape God’s judgment?
4 Or do you despise the riches of God’s kindness, forbearance and patience? Don’t you know that God’s kindness is meant to bring you to repentance? 5 But by your hard, unrepentant heart you are building up a store of anger for yourself on the day of anger, the day when God’s just judgment will be unveiled— 6 the God who will “repay everyone according to their works.”
7 When people patiently do what is good, and so pursue the quest for glory and honor and immortality, God will give them the life of the age to come. 8 But when people act out of selfish desire, and do not obey the truth, but instead obey injustice, there will be anger and fury. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every single person who does what is wicked, the Jew first and also, equally, the Greek— 10 and there will be glory, honor and peace for everyone who does what is good, the Jew first and also, equally, the Greek. 11 God, you see, shows no partiality.
How God’s impartial judgment will work
12 Everyone who sinned outside the law, you see, will perish outside the law—and those who sinned from within the law will be judged by means of the law. 13 After all, it isn’t those who hear the law who are in the right before God. It’s those who do the law who will be declared to be in the right!
14 This is how it works out. Gentiles don’t possess the law as their birthright; but whenever they do what the law says, they are a law for themselves, despite not possessing the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts. Their conscience bears witness as well, and their thoughts will run this way and that, sometimes accusing them and sometimes excusing them, 16 on the day when (according to the gospel I proclaim) God judges all human secrets through Messiah Jesus.
The claim of the Jew—and its problems
17 But supposing you call yourself a “Jew.” Supposing you rest your hope in the law. Supposing you celebrate the fact that God is your God, 18 and that you know what he wants, and that by the law’s instruction you can make appropriate moral distinctions. 19 Supposing you believe yourself to be a guide to the blind, a light to people in darkness, 20 a teacher of the foolish, an instructor for children—all because, in the law, you possess the outline of knowledge and truth.
21 Well then: if you’re going to teach someone else, aren’t you going to teach yourself? If you say people shouldn’t steal, do you steal? 22 If you say people shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? If you loathe idols, do you rob temples? 23 If you boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 This is what the Bible says: “Because of you, God’s name is blasphemed among the nations!”
The badge, the name and the meaning
25 Circumcision, you see, has real value for people who keep the law. If, however, you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. 26 Meanwhile, if uncircumcised people keep the law’s requirements, their uncircumcision will be regarded as circumcision, won’t it? 27 So people who are by nature uncircumcised, but who fulfill the law, will pass judgment on people like you who possess the letter of the law and circumcision but who break the law.
28 The “Jew” isn’t the person who appears to be one, you see. Nor is “circumcision” what it appears to be, a matter of physical flesh. 29 The “Jew” is the one in secret; and “circumcision” is a matter of the heart, in the spirit rather than the letter. Such a person gets “praise,” not from humans, but from God.
Romans 2
King James Version
2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Roma 2
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
2 Dahil dito'y wala kang madadahilan, Oh tao, sino ka man na humahatol: sapagka't sa iyong paghatol sa iba, ay ang iyong sarili ang hinahatulan mo; sapagka't ikaw na humahatol ay gumagawa ka ng gayon ding mga bagay.
2 At nalalaman natin na ang hatol ng Dios ay ayon sa katotohanan laban sa kanila na mga nagsisigawa ng gayong mga bagay.
3 At iniisip mo baga ito, Oh tao, na humahatol sa mga nagsisigawa ng gayong mga bagay, at ginagawa mo ang gayon din, na ikaw ay makatatanan sa hatol ng Dios?
4 O hinahamak mo ang mga kayamanan ng kaniyang kabutihan at pagtitiis at pagpapahinuhod, na hindi mo nalalaman na ang kabutihan ng Dios ay siyang umaakay sa iyo sa pagsisisi?
5 Datapuwa't ayon sa iyong katigasan at iyong pusong hindi nagsisisi ay nagtitipon ka sa iyong sarili ng poot sa kaarawan ng kapootan at pagpapahayag ng tapat na paghuhukom ng Dios;
6 Na siya ang magbibigay sa bawa't tao ayon sa kaniyang mga gawa:
7 Sa mga nagsisipagtiyaga sa mabubuting gawa sa paghanap ng kaluwalhatian at puri at ng di pagkasira, ay ang buhay na walang hanggan:
8 Datapuwa't ang sa mga palaaway, at mga hindi nagsisitalima sa katotohanan, kundi bagkus nagsisisunod sa kalikuan, ay ang kagalitan at kapootan,
9 Kapighatian at kahapisan, ang sa bawa't kaluluwa ng tao na gumagawa ng masama, ng Judio una-una, at gayon din ng Griego;
10 Datapuwa't kaluwalhatian at karangalan at kapayapaan ang sa bawa't taong gumagawa ng mabuti, sa Judio ang una-una, at gayon din sa Griego:
11 Sapagka't ang Dios ay hindi nagtatangi ng mga tao.
12 Sapagka't ang lahat ng nangagkasala ng walang kautusan ay mangapapahamak din naman ng walang kautusan: at ang lahat na nangagkasala sa ilalim ng kautusan ay sa kautusan din sila hahatulan;
13 Sapagka't hindi ang mga tagapakinig ng kautusan ang siyang mga ganap sa harapan ng Dios, kundi ang nangagsisitalima sa kautusan ay aariing mga ganap;
14 (Sapagka't kung ang mga Gentil na walang kautusan sa katutubo, ay nagsisigawa ng mga bagay ng kautusan, ang mga ito, na walang kautusan, ay siyang kautusan sa kanilang sarili;
15 Na nangagtatanyag ng gawa ng kautusang nasusulat sa kanilang puso, na pinatotohanan ito pati ng kanilang budhi, at ang kanilang mga pagiisip ay nangagsusumbungan o nangagdadahilanan sa isa't isa);
16 Sa araw na hahatulan ng Dios ang mga lihim ng mga tao, ayon sa aking evangelio, sa pamamagitan ni Jesucristo.
17 Nguni't kung ikaw na may taglay na pangalang Judio, at nasasalig sa kautusan, at nagmamapuri sa Dios,
18 At nakaaalam ng kaniyang kalooban, at sumasangayon sa mga bagay na magagaling, palibhasa'y tinuruan ka ng kautusan,
19 At nagkakatiwala ka na ikaw ay tagaakay ng mga bulag, ilaw ng mga nasa kadiliman,
20 Tagasaway sa mga di nakaaalam, guro ng mga bata, na sa kautusan ay mayroon kang anyo ng pagkakilala at ng katotohanan;
21 Ikaw nga na nagtuturo sa iba, hindi mo tinuturuan ang iyong sarili? ikaw na nangangaral sa tao na huwag magnanakaw, ay nagnanakaw ka?
22 Ikaw na nagsasabing ang tao ay huwag mangalunya, ay nangangalunya ka? ikaw na nasusuklam sa mga diosdiosan, ay nanakawan mo ang mga templo?
23 Ikaw na nagmamapuri sa kautusan, sa iyong pagsuway sa kautusan ay niwawalan mo ng puri ang Dios?
24 Sapagka't ang pangalan ng Dios ay nalalait ng mga Gentil dahil sa iyo, gaya ng nasusulat.
25 Sapagka't ang pagtutuli'y tunay na pinakikinabangan, kung tinutupad mo ang kautusan; datapuwa't kung ikaw ay masuwayin sa kautusan, ang iyong pagtutuli ay nagiging di pagtutuli.
26 Kung ang di pagtutuli nga ay tumutupad ng katuwiran ng kautusan, hindi baga aariing pagtutuli ang kaniyang di pagtutuli?
27 At ang di pagtutuli sa katutubo, kung tumupad ng kautusan, ay hindi baga hahatol sa iyo na may titik at may pagtutuli na masuwayin sa kautusan?
28 Sapagka't siya'y hindi Judio kung sa labas lamang; ni magiging pagtutuli yaong hayag sa laman;
29 Datapuwa't siya'y Judio sa loob; at ang pagtutuli ay yaong sa puso, sa Espiritu hindi sa titik; ang kaniyang kapurihan ay hindi sa mga tao, kundi sa Dios.
