罗马书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚伯拉罕的榜样
4 那么,从我们的先祖亚伯拉罕身上,我们学到什么呢? 2 如果亚伯拉罕是因为有好行为而被称为义人,他就可以夸口了,但他在上帝面前没有可夸的。 3 圣经上不是说“亚伯拉罕信上帝,就被算为义人”吗? 4 人工作得来的工钱不算是恩典,是应得的。 5 但对于只信赦免罪人的上帝、不靠功劳的人,他的信就被算为义。
6 大卫也说不靠行为而被上帝算为义的人是有福的,他说: 7 “过犯得到赦免、罪恶被遮盖的人有福了。 8 不被主定罪的人有福了。”
9 那么,这种福分只给受割礼的人吗?还是也给没有受割礼的人呢?因为我们说,亚伯拉罕信上帝,就被算为义人。 10 他究竟是怎么被算为义人的呢?是他受割礼以前呢?还是以后呢?不是以后,而是以前。 11 他后来受割礼只不过是一个记号,表明他在受割礼前已经因信而被称为义人了。他因此成为一切未受割礼的信徒之父,使这些人也可以被算为义人。 12 他也做了受割礼之人的父。这些人不只是受了割礼,还跟随我们先祖亚伯拉罕的脚步,效法他在未受割礼时的信心。
13 上帝应许将世界赐给亚伯拉罕和他的后裔,不是因为亚伯拉罕遵行了律法,而是因为他因信而成了义人。 14 如果只有遵行律法的人才可以承受应许,信心就没有价值,上帝的应许也就落了空。 15 因为有律法,就有刑罚;哪里没有律法,哪里就没有违法的事。 16 所以,上帝的应许是借着人的信心赐下的,好叫这一切都是出于上帝的恩典,确保应许归给所有亚伯拉罕的子孙,不单是守律法的人,也包括一切效法亚伯拉罕信心的人。 17 亚伯拉罕在上帝面前是我们所有人的父,正如圣经上说:“我已经立你为万族之父。”他所信的上帝是能够使死人复活、使无变有的上帝。
18 他在毫无指望的情况下仍然满怀盼望地相信上帝的应许,因而成为“万族之父”,正如上帝的应许:“你的后裔必这么多”。 19 那时他将近百岁,知道自己身体如同已死,撒拉也过了生育的岁数,但他的信心仍然没有动摇。 20 他没有因不信而怀疑上帝的应许,反倒信心更加坚定,将荣耀归给上帝。 21 他完全相信上帝必能实现祂的应许。 22 因此,他被算为义人。 23 “他被算为义人”这句话不单单是为他写的, 24 也是为将来要被算为义人的我们写的,就是相信上帝使主耶稣从死里复活的人。 25 耶稣受害而死是为了我们的过犯,祂复活是为了使我们成为义人。

2 ει γαρ αβρααμ εξ εργων εδικαιωθη εχει καυχημα αλλ ου προς θεον
3 τι γαρ η γραφη λεγει επιστευσεν δε αβρααμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
4 τω δε εργαζομενω ο μισθος ου λογιζεται κατα χαριν αλλα κατα οφειλημα
5 τω δε μη εργαζομενω πιστευοντι δε επι τον δικαιουντα τον ασεβη λογιζεται η πιστις αυτου εις δικαιοσυνην
6 καθαπερ και δαυιδ λεγει τον μακαρισμον του ανθρωπου ω ο θεος λογιζεται δικαιοσυνην χωρις εργων
7 μακαριοι ων αφεθησαν αι ανομιαι και ων επεκαλυφθησαν αι αμαρτιαι
8 μακαριος ανηρ ου ου μη λογισηται κυριος αμαρτιαν
9 ο μακαρισμος ουν ουτος επι την περιτομην η και επι την ακροβυστιαν λεγομεν γαρ ελογισθη τω αβρααμ η πιστις εις δικαιοσυνην
10 πως ουν ελογισθη εν περιτομη οντι η εν ακροβυστια ουκ εν περιτομη αλλ εν ακροβυστια

21 και πληροφορηθεις οτι ο επηγγελται δυνατος εστιν και ποιησαι
22 διο [και] ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
23 ουκ εγραφη δε δι αυτον μονον οτι ελογισθη αυτω
24 αλλα και δι ημας οις μελλει λογιζεσθαι τοις πιστευουσιν επι τον εγειραντα ιησουν τον κυριον ημων εκ νεκρων
25 ος παρεδοθη δια τα παραπτωματα ημων και ηγερθη δια την δικαιωσιν ημων
Romans 4
New International Version
Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say(A) that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh,(B) discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.(C) 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](D)
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift(E) but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.(F) 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”[b](G)
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?(H) We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.(I) 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! 11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.(J) So then, he is the father(K) of all who believe(L) but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise(M) that he would be heir of the world,(N) but through the righteousness that comes by faith.(O) 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,(P) 15 because the law brings wrath.(Q) And where there is no law there is no transgression.(R)
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace(S) and may be guaranteed(T) to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.(U) 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[c](V) He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life(W) to the dead and calls(X) into being things that were not.(Y)
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,(Z) just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d](AA) 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead(AB)—since he was about a hundred years old(AC)—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.(AD) 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened(AE) in his faith and gave glory to God,(AF) 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.(AG) 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”(AH) 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us,(AI) to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him(AJ) who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.(AK) 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins(AL) and was raised to life for our justification.(AM)

Het Boek
Abraham vertrouwde op God en werd vrijgesproken
4 Hoe staat het dan met Abraham, die de stamvader van ons Joodse volk is? 2 Als hij door zijn eigen inspanning vrij voor God stond, zou hij reden hebben om trots te zijn. Maar tegenover God kun je niet trots zijn. 3 In de Boeken staat het zo: ‘Abraham geloofde God en daarom beschouwde God hem als een rechtvaardig mens.’ 4 Wie werkt voor een beloning, krijgt die niet omdat het een gunst is, maar omdat hij er recht op heeft. 5 Als iemand zich echter zonder eigen inspanning toevertrouwt aan God, die de goddeloze vrijspreekt, verklaart Hij hem onschuldig op grond van zijn vertrouwen in Hem. 6 David zegt toch ook dat u gelukkig bent als God u vrijspreekt zonder dat u er iets voor hebt gedaan. 7 ‘Gelukkig is hij wiens misstap vergeven en zonden niet meer gezien worden,’ staat er. 8 ‘Gelukkig is hij aan wie de Here zijn zonde niet toerekent.’
9 Geldt dit alleen voor de Joden, die besneden zijn, of ook voor wie niet besneden zijn? Ik heb toch gezegd dat Abraham als rechtvaardig mens werd beschouwd, omdat hij God geloofde! 10 Wanneer gebeurde dat? Toen hij besneden werd of daarvoor? Daarvoor! Pas nadat hij door God rechtvaardig was verklaard, werd hij besneden. 11 Dat was het teken waarmee bezegeld werd dat hij rechtvaardig was verklaard. Dus is Abraham de voorvader van allen die op God vertrouwen, ook van hen die niet besneden zijn. 12 Zij zijn pas echt kinderen van Abraham, als zij net zo op God vertrouwen als hij, toen hij nog niet besneden was.
13 God beloofde dat Hij de wereld aan Abraham en zijn nakomelingen zou geven, niet omdat Abraham zich zo goed aan Gods wet had gehouden, maar omdat hij God geloofde en daardoor met God in het reine was. 14 Als Gods beloften alleen gelden voor mensen die zich aan de wet houden, dan zou daarmee het geloof overbodig zijn en Gods belofte niets te betekenen hebben. 15 Als de wet overtreden wordt, volgt daarop straf. Maar als er geen wet is, kan die ook niet overtreden worden.
16 Wat God ons door zijn genade wil geven, wordt alleen ons eigendom als wij in Hem geloven. En Gods belofte aan al Abrahams nakomelingen is vast en zeker. Zij geldt niet alleen voor hen die volgens Gods wet leven, maar ook voor hen die, net als Abraham, alleen op God vertrouwen. Want als het om geloof gaat, is Abraham de vader van ons allemaal. 17 In de Boeken staat immers dat God tegen hem zei: ‘U zult de vader zijn van vele volken.’ En hij is dat voor God, op wie hij vertrouwde, die de doden levend maakt en door zijn woord doet ontstaan wat niet bestond. 18 Hoewel alle hoop vervlogen was, bleef Abraham verwachten en geloven dat hij de stamvader van vele volken zou worden, want God had het gezegd! 19 Hij besefte maar al te goed dat hij op honderdjarige leeftijd te oud was om nog een kind te verwekken. En zijn vrouw Sara was ook al veel te oud om nog een kind te krijgen. Toch werd zijn vertrouwen daardoor niet minder. Hij ging niet twijfelen. Integendeel! 20 Hij hield zich vast aan de belofte van God. Zijn vertrouwen bleef sterk en hij gaf God alle eer. 21 Hij was er absoluut van overtuigd dat God in staat was te doen wat Hij beloofd had.
22 Daarom verklaarde God hem rechtvaardig. 23 Dat ‘rechtvaardig verklaard worden’ heeft niet alleen betrekking op Abraham. 24 Het is ook geschreven met het oog op ons. Wij worden immers ook rechtvaardig verklaard, want wij vertrouwen op God, die onze Here Jezus uit de dood heeft laten terugkomen.
25 Hij heeft Jezus voor onze zonden laten sterven en Hem uit de dood laten terugkomen om ons rechtvaardig te verklaren.
Romans 4
King James Version
4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
