3:1
|
這樣說來，猶太人有什么長處？割禮有什么益處呢？
|
|
|
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
|
|
3:2
|
各方面多著呢︰第一，上帝的神諭是托付了他們的。
|
|
|
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
|
|
3:3
|
就使有取了不信態度的，能怎么樣呢？難道他們之不信能廢掉上帝之可信靠么？
|
|
|
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
|
|
3:4
|
斷乎不能﹔上帝總是真誠的，雖則人人都撒謊﹔正如經上所記︰「以玫你在你的判語上總得証為對，你在被論斷時總必得勝。」
|
|
|
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
|
|
3:5
|
但是我們的不義倘若証明上帝的義來，那要怎么講呢？難道說上帝顯義怒是不義么？﹝我且照人的講法說話吧﹞。
|
|
|
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
|
|
3:6
|
斷乎不是﹔如果這樣，上帝怎能審判世界呢？
|
|
|
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
|
|
3:7
|
但上帝的真實如果因我的虛假越發彰顯他的榮耀來，為什么我還被斷為罪人呢？
|
|
|
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
|
|
3:8
|
難道要說︰『讓我們作惡，使善來到』么？﹝這是我們所受的毀謗﹔有人說我們曾說了這話﹞︰這樣辯論的人之受定罪、是該當的。
|
|
|
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
|
|
3:9
|
這卻怎么樣呢？我們猶太人比他們外國人強么？完全不是。我們已經起訴︰萬人都在罪之下，不但希利尼人，猶太人也在內﹔
|
|
|
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
|
|
3:10
|
正如經上所記︰「沒有義人，一個也沒有﹔
|
|
|
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
|
|
3:11
|
沒有曉悟的，沒有尋求上帝的﹔
|
|
|
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
|
|
3:12
|
他們都偏離了正路，一同變為無用﹔沒有以慈惠待人的，連一個也沒有﹔
|
|
|
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
|
|
3:13
|
他們的喉嚨是敝開的墓﹔他們用舌頭弄欺詐﹔他們咀唇下有虺蛇之毒氣﹔
|
|
|
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
|
|
3:14
|
他們的口滿了咒罵和苦恨﹔
|
|
|
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
|
|
3:15
|
他們的腳飛快、要流人的血﹔
|
|
|
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
|
|
3:16
|
他們所經過的路、都使人受殘害和災難﹔
|
|
|
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
|
|
3:17
|
平安的路、他們不知道﹔
|
|
|
And the way of peace have they not known:
|
|
3:18
|
他們眼中、并沒有敬畏上帝的心。」
|
|
|
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
|
|
3:19
|
我們曉得、律法無論說什么，都是向律法以內的人講的，好堵住每一個人的口，使全世界的人都伏在上帝審判之下﹔
|
|
|
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
|
|
3:20
|
所以血肉之人在上帝面前、都不能由律法上的行為得稱為義︰因為由于律法、人才認識罪。
|
|
|
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
|
|
3:21
|
但如今呢、上帝救人的義已在律法以外顯明出來了，是律法和神言人們所見証的﹔
|
|
|
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
|
|
3:22
|
然而上帝救人的義、卻是憑著那信耶穌基督的心、加給一切信的人的﹔并沒有區別︰
|
|
|
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
|
|
3:23
|
因為萬人都犯了罪，都虧缺了上帝的榮耀，
|
|
|
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
|
|
3:24
|
都因上帝恩惠中白白的典、憑著那在基督耶穌里的贖放、得稱為義。
|
|
|
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
|
|
3:25
|
這耶穌、上帝顯然立為除罪法，憑著人的信、本著耶穌（希臘文︰他）的血、來做上帝（希臘文︰他）救人之義的明証。因為上帝用他的寬容、對人先時所犯的罪過都不追究，
|
|
|
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
|
|
3:26
|
好在現今的時期做他救人之義的明証，來顯明他自己的義，也是叫信耶穌的人得以稱義的。
|
|
|
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
|
|
3:27
|
那么可夸口的在哪里呢？絕無可夸之余地了。這無可夸是憑著什么法呢？憑著行為的法么？不，乃是憑著信的法。
|
|
|
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
|
|
3:28
|
因為我們認定、人稱義是因著信，不在乎律法上的行為。
|
|
|
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
|
|
3:29
|
難道上帝只是猶太人的上帝么？不也是外國人的上帝么？是的，也是外國人的上帝，
|
|
|
Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
|
|
3:30
|
因為上帝只有一位。他要因人的信稱受割禮為義，也要憑著人的信稱沒受割禮為義。
|
|
|
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
|
|
3:31
|
這樣，我們是憑著信廢掉律法么？斷乎不是﹔我們倒是叫律法立定呢。
|
|
|
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
|
