罗马书 3
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
3 这样说来，犹太人有什么比别人强呢？割礼有什么益处呢？ 2 很多，各方面都有。首先， 神的圣言交托他们。 3 即使有不信的，这又何妨呢？难道他们的不信就废掉 神的信实吗？ 4 绝对不会！不如说， 神是真实的，而人都是虚谎的。如经上所记：
“以致你责备的时候显为公义；
你被指控的时候一定胜诉。”
5 我姑且照着人的看法来说，我们的不义若显出 神的义来，我们要怎么说呢？ 神降怒是他不义吗？ 6 绝对不是！若是这样， 神怎能审判世界呢？ 7 若 神的真实因我的虚谎越发显出他的荣耀，为什么我还像罪人一样受审判呢？ 8 为什么不说，我们可以作恶以成善呢？有人毁谤我们，说我们讲过这话；这等人被定罪是应该的。
没有义人
9 那又怎么样呢？我们比他们强吗？绝不是！因我们已经指证：犹太人和希腊人都在罪恶之下。 10 就如经上所记：
“没有义人，连一个也没有。
11 没有明白的，
没有寻求 神的。
12 人人偏离正路，一同走向败坏。
没有行善的，连一个也没有[a]。
13 他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓；
他们的舌头玩弄诡诈。
他们的嘴唇里有毒蛇的毒液，
14 满口是咒骂苦毒。
15 他们的脚为杀人流血飞跑；
16 他们的路留下毁坏和灾难。
17 和平的路，他们不认识；
18 他们眼中不怕 神。”
19 我们知道律法所说的话都是对律法之下的人说的，好塞住各人的口，使普世的人都伏在 神的审判之下。 20 所以，凡血肉之躯没有一个能因律法的行为而在 神面前称义，因为律法本是要人认识罪。
因信称义
21 但如今， 神的义在律法之外已经显明出来，有律法和先知为证： 22 就是 神的义，因信耶稣基督[b]加给一切信的人。这并没有分别， 23 因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了 神的荣耀， 24 如今却蒙 神的恩典，藉着在基督耶稣里的救赎，就白白地得称为义。 25-26 神设立耶稣作赎罪祭，是凭耶稣的血，藉着信，要显明 神的义；因为他用忍耐的心宽容人先前所犯的罪，好使今时显明他的义，让人知道他自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义[c]。
27 既是这样，哪里可夸口呢？没有可夸的。是藉什么法呢？功德吗？不是！是藉信主之法。 28 所以我们认定，人称义是因着信，不在于律法的行为。 29 难道 神只是犹太人的吗？不也是外邦人的吗？是的，他也是外邦人的 神。 30 既然 神是一位，他就要本于信称那受割礼的为义，也要藉着信称那未受割礼的为义。 31 这样，我们藉着信废了律法吗？绝对不是！更是巩固律法。
Romans 3
New King James Version
God’s Judgment Defended
3 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because (A)to them were committed the [a]oracles of God. 3 For what if (B)some did not believe? (C)Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 (D)Certainly not! Indeed, let (E)God be [b]true but (F)every man a liar. As it is written:
(G)“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (H)(I speak as a man.) 6 Certainly not! For then (I)how will God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say, (J)“Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their [c]condemnation is just.
All Have Sinned(K)
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that (L)they are all under sin.
10 As it is written:
(M)“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13 “Their(N) throat is an open [d]tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
(O)“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14 “Whose(P) mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their(Q) feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There(R) is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever (S)the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that (T)every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become [e]guilty before God. 20 Therefore (U)by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
God’s Righteousness Through Faith
21 But now (V)the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, (W)being witnessed by the Law (X)and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all [f]and on all who believe. For (Y)there is no difference; 23 for (Z)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified [g]freely (AA)by His grace (AB)through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth (AC)as a [h]propitiation (AD)by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over (AE)the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Boasting Excluded
27 (AF)Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude (AG)that a man is [i]justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 since (AH)there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
