罗马书 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
神的信实
3 这样说来，犹太人有什么优越呢？割礼有什么益处呢？ 2 在各方面都有很多。首要的，是神的话语确实委托给他们了。 3 即使他们中有些人不信，到底又怎么样呢？难道他们的不信会使神的信实无效吗？ 4 绝对不会！即使每个人都是说谎者，神还是真实的。正如经上所记：
“这样，你说话的时候，显为公义；
被评断的时候，必然得胜。”[a]
5 但是，如果我按人的意思来说，我们的不义可以显明神的义，那我们要怎么说呢？难道降震怒的神是不公正的吗？ 6 绝对不是！否则，神怎么能审判世界呢？ 7 那么，如果神的真实因我的虚谎使他的荣耀更加丰盛，为什么我还要像罪人一样被定罪呢？ 8 这样，为什么不说“让我们作恶好带来善”呢？——我们正是如此受到毁谤，也有些人说过我们讲了这话——这些人被定罪倒是应该的。
没有义人
9 那么怎么样呢？我们犹太人比别人好吗？当然不是！我们已经指出：犹太人和外邦人[b]都在罪孽之下。 10 正如经上所记：
“没有义人，连一个也没有；
11 没有领悟的，
没有寻求神的。
12 人人都远离了正道，
一同成了无用的；
没有仁慈的，
连一个也没有。[c]
13 他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓，
他们用舌头玩弄诡诈，[d]
他们的嘴唇含有蛇毒，[e]
14 他们满口是咒骂和苦毒，[f]
15 他们的脚步为杀人[g]流血而飞快，
16 他们的路上只有毁灭和惨祸；
17 和平之路[h]，他们从来不知道。[i]
18 他们的眼目中没有对神的敬畏。[j]”
19 我们知道，律法上的一切话都是对律法之下的人讲的，好堵住每个人的口，使全世界的人都在神的审判之下有罪， 20 因为没有一个人[k]本于律法上的行为在神面前被称为义；原来，藉着律法，只能对罪有真正的认识。
因信称义
21 但如今，神的义已经在律法之外显明出来，被律法和先知们所见证， 22 那就是：神的义藉着对耶稣基督的信仰[l]，临到所有信的人，并没有分别。 23 要知道，每个人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀； 24 但藉着神的恩典，藉着在基督耶稣里的救赎，却无偿地被称为义。 25 神预先定下耶稣为平息祭[m]，是用耶稣的血、藉着人的信，为要显明神自己的义；因为他用忍耐的心，宽容人过去所犯的罪， 26 为了在现今的时刻显明他的义，好表明他自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义。
没有可夸耀的
27 既然如此，还有什么可夸耀的呢？根本没有。凭着什么法则呢？凭着行为的法则吗？不是！而是凭着信的法则。 28 就是说，我们认为：人被称为义，是藉着信，与律法上的行为无关。 29 难道神只是犹太人的神吗？不也是外邦人的神吗？是的，他也是外邦人的神， 30 既然神真是一位；他要使受割礼的人因信称义，也要使没有受割礼的人因信称义。 31 那么，我们是藉着信废掉律法吗？绝对不是！反而确立了律法。

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.
