Ang Halimbawa ni Abraham
4 Tungkol kay Abraham na ating ninuno, ano naman ang masasabi natin? Ano ang kanyang karanasan tungkol sa bagay na ito? 2 Kung itinuring siya ng Diyos na matuwid dahil sa mga nagawa niya, may maipagmamalaki sana siya. Ngunit wala siyang maipagmalaki sa paningin ng Diyos. 3 Ano(A) ang sinasabi ng kasulatan? “Si Abraham ay sumampalataya sa Diyos at dahil dito, siya ay itinuring ng Diyos na matuwid.” 4 Ang ibinibigay sa taong gumagawa ay hindi itinuturing na kaloob, kundi kabayaran. 5 Ngunit ang hindi nananalig sa sariling mga gawa kundi sumasampalataya sa Diyos na nagpapawalang-sala sa makasalanan ay itinuring na matuwid ng Diyos dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya. 6 Kaya't tinawag ni David na pinagpala ang taong itinuring ng Diyos na matuwid nang hindi dahil sa sarili nitong mga gawa. Sinabi niya,
7 “Pinagpala ang mga taong pinatawad na ang pagsuway,
at ang mga taong pinawi na ang mga kasalanan.
8 Pinagpala ang taong hindi na pagbabayarin ng Panginoon
sa kanyang mga kasalanan.”
9 Ang pagpapala kayang ito'y para lamang sa mga tuli? Hindi! Ito'y para rin sa mga di-tuli. Sinasabi natin, batay sa Kasulatan na itinuring na matuwid ng Diyos si Abraham dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya. 10 Kailan iyon nangyari? Bago siya tinuli, o pagkatapos? Bago siya tinuli, at hindi pagkatapos. 11 Ang kanyang pagtutuli ay naging tanda na siya'y itinuring na matuwid ng Diyos dahil sa pananampalataya niya noong hindi pa siya tuli. Kaya't siya'y naging ama ng lahat ng mga sumasampalataya sa Diyos, at sa gayon, sila'y itinuring na matuwid kahit hindi sila tinuli. 12 At siya'y ama rin ng mga tuli, hindi lamang dahil sa kanilang pagiging tuli, kundi dahil sa sila'y sumunod sa halimbawa ng pananampalataya ng ating ninunong si Abraham noong bago siya tuliin.
Nakamtan ang Pangako Dahil sa Pananampalataya
13 Ipinangako(B) ng Diyos kay Abraham at sa kanyang magiging lahi na mamanahin nila ang buong mundo, hindi dahil sa pagsunod niya sa Kautusan, kundi dahil sa siya'y itinuring na matuwid sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pananampalataya sa Diyos. 14 Kung(C) ang pangako ay ipagkakaloob lamang sa mga sumusunod sa Kautusan, walang saysay ang pananampalataya ng tao at walang kabuluhan ang pangako ng Diyos. 15 Ang Kautusan ay nagdadala ng poot ng Diyos sa mga lumalabag. Ngunit kung walang kautusan, wala ring paglabag.
16 Kaya(D) nga't sa pananampalataya nababatay ang pangako, upang ito'y maibigay bilang walang bayad na kaloob para sa lahat ng anak ni Abraham; hindi lamang sa mga saklaw ng Kautusan, kundi sa lahat ng sumasampalataya rin tulad ni Abraham. Sapagkat siya ang ama nating lahat, 17 gaya(E) ng nasusulat, “Ginawa kitang ama ng maraming bansa.” Ang pangakong ito'y may bisa sa harap ng Diyos na kanyang sinampalatayanan, ang Diyos na bumubuhay sa mga patay at lumilikha ng mga bagay na hindi pa nalilikha. 18 Kahit(F) wala nang pag-asang magkaanak, nanalig pa rin si Abraham na siya'y magiging ama ng maraming bansa, ayon sa sinabi sa kanya, “Sindami ng mga bituin ang iyong magiging lahi.” 19 Hindi(G) nanghina ang kanyang pananampalataya kahit uugud-ugod na siya, palibhasa'y isandaang taon na siya noon, at ang kanya namang asawang si Sara ay baog. 20 Hindi siya nag-alinlangan sa pangako ng Diyos. Sa halip, lalo siyang lumakas dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya at nagpuri pa sa Diyos. 21 Lubos siyang naniwala na tutuparin ng Diyos ang ipinangako nito. 22 Kaya't dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya, siya'y itinuring na matuwid ng Diyos. 23 Ang salitang “itinuring na matuwid” ay isinulat hindi lamang para sa kanya, 24 kundi para sa atin din naman. Ituturing din tayong matuwid dahil sumasampalataya tayo sa Diyos na muling bumuhay kay Jesus na ating Panginoon. 25 Siya'y(H) ipinapatay dahil sa ating mga kasalanan at muling binuhay upang tayo'y mapawalang-sala.

亚伯拉罕之例
4 那么，关于我们的祖先亚伯拉罕，我们该说什么呢？关于信仰，他发现了什么呢？ 2 假如亚伯拉罕凭他的行为得到上帝的认可，那么，他就有理由骄傲了，但是他却不能在上帝面前骄傲。 3 《经》上是怎么说的呢？“亚伯拉罕相信了上帝，因为他相信了，上帝像接受一位行为正直的人一样接受了他。”
4 给工作的人付工资，不是出于恩典给他的，而是出于义务。 5 如果一个人没有做任何工作，但他却信任让人改邪归正的上帝， 那么上帝就会接受他的信仰，并得到上帝的认可。 6 同样，大卫也说过同样的话，他说到如果一个人，上帝不计较他的行为而得到他的认可的人，他是有福的。他说：
7 “不法行为被宽恕的人，是有福的，
罪被遮盖的人，是有福的，
8 主不把他的罪过记在账上的人，是有福的。”
9 那么，这种祝福只施给那些受过割礼的人吗？或者也会施给那些未受过割礼的人吗？（是的，它也会降临在未受割礼的人的身上的）我们说过，亚伯拉罕因为他的信仰得到了上帝的认可。 10 这是在什么情况下发生的呢？是在他受割礼之前，还是在他受割礼之后呢？是在之前，而不是在之后。 11 他后来接受了割礼，他的割礼只是一个标记，表明在他受割礼之前，已由于信仰得到了上帝的认可。所以，亚伯拉罕是所有相信、但没有受割礼的人的祖先。这些人，得到了上帝的认可。 12 亚伯拉罕也是那些受到割礼的人之父，割礼并没有使他成为他们的父亲，而是靠信仰生活，亚伯拉罕才成为他们之父，亚伯拉罕受割礼之前已有了这信仰。
凭信仰得到上帝的许诺
13 亚伯拉罕和他的后代得到许诺，他们将会得到整个世界。亚伯拉罕得到这许诺，不是由于他服从了律法，而是因为通过他的信仰得到了上帝的认可。 14 如果通过守法就能得到上帝的许诺，那么信仰就毫无价值了，上帝对亚伯拉罕的许诺也就一钱不值了， 15 因为律法只能导致上帝对那些违法人的愤怒。如果没有律法，也就不会出现违背的事情了。
16 所以，由于信仰，人们得到上帝的许诺，因此这许诺是无偿的馈赠)。既然这许诺是无偿的，那么所有的亚伯拉罕的子民都能得到它。这许诺不仅仅是给予那些生活在摩西律法之下的人们，也是给予那些像亚伯拉罕那样靠信仰生活的人。亚伯拉罕是我们所有人的祖先， 17 正如《经》上所说∶“我使你成为众多民族的祖先。” [a]在上帝眼里，亚伯拉罕是我们的祖先，他信仰的上帝，既让死人复活、从无创造了万物的上帝。
18 亚伯拉罕没有指望有孩子，但他仍然相信上帝，继续心怀希望，为此他成为众多民族的祖先。正如上帝对他所说的那样∶“你的后代将多如天上的繁星。” [b] 19 亚伯拉罕将近一百岁了，他的肉体也行将就木，撒拉也不能再生育了，但是，亚伯拉罕的信仰却丝毫没有削弱， 20 他对于上帝会履行许诺毫不怀疑，他从未停止过相信上帝。他对上帝的信仰反而更加坚定，并把荣耀归于上帝。 21 他完全相信上帝能够实现他的诺言， 22 所以，这是为什么∶“他被接受，因为他仿佛做了正义的事。” [c] 23 这些话“他被接受，”不仅仅是针对亚伯拉罕所说的。 24 这些话也是针对我们而说的，因为我们相信，所以上帝也会接受我们。我们信仰使耶稣—我们的主，从死里复活的上帝。 25 为我们的罪恶，耶稣被交给了死亡，然后又让他从死里复活，为的是让我们得到上帝的认可。

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)
