1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
你这论断人的，无论你是谁，也无可推诿，你在什么事上论断人，就在什么事上定自己的罪。因你这论断人的，自己所行却和别人一样。 
2 Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
我们知道这样行的人，神必照真理审判他。 
3 So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?
你这人哪，评判别人，自己所为相同，你以为能逃脱神的审判吗？ 
4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
还是你藐视他丰富的恩慈，宽容，忍耐，不晓得他的恩慈是领你悔改呢？ 
5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
你竟任着你刚硬不悔改的心，为自己积蓄忿怒，以致神震怒，显他公义审判的日子来到。 
6 God "will give to each person according to what he has done."
他必照各人的行为报应各人。 
7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
凡恒心行善寻求荣耀尊贵和不死的，就以永生报应他们。 
8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
惟有结党不顺从真理，反顺从不义的，就以忿怒恼恨报应他们。 
9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
将患难，困苦，加给一切作恶的人，先是犹太人，后是非犹太人。 
10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
却将荣耀，尊贵，平安，加给一切行善的人，先是犹太人，后是非犹太人。 
11 For God does not show favoritism.
因为神不会厚此薄彼。
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
没有律法的，凡犯罪者必灭亡。凡在律法以下犯了罪的，必按律法受审判， 
13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
原来在神面前，不是听律法的为义，乃是行律法的称义。 
14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,
（没有律法的外邦人，若顺着本性行律法上的事，他们虽然没有律法，自己就是自己的律法。 
15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)
这是显出律法的功用刻在他们心里，他们是非之心同作见证，并且他们的思念互相较量，或以为是，或以为非。）  
16 This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
就在神借耶稣基督审判人隐秘事的日子，照着我的福音所言。 
17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God;
你自称犹太人，又倚靠律法，且借着与神的关系夸口，
18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;
既从律法中受了教训，就晓得神的旨意，也能分别是非，
19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,
又深信自己是给瞎子领路的，是黑暗中人的光， 
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--
是蠢笨人的师傅，是小孩子的先生，在律法上有知识和真理的模范， 
21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
你既是教导别人，还不教导自己吗？你说人不可偷窃，自己还偷窃吗？ 
22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
你说人不可通奸，自己还通奸吗？你厌恶偶像，自己还偷窃庙中之物吗？ 
23 You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
你指着律法夸口，自己倒犯律法，玷辱神吗？ 
24 As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."
神的名在外邦人中，因你们受了亵渎，正如经上所记的。
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.
你若是行律法，割礼固然于你有益。若是犯律法的，你的割礼就算不得割礼。 
26 If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?
所以那未受割礼的，若遵守律法的条例，他虽然未受割礼，岂不算是有割礼吗？ 
27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
而且那本来未受割礼的，若能全守律法，岂不是要审判你这有法典和割礼竟犯律法的人吗？ 
28 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
像犹太人，不算是真犹太人；肉身的割礼，也不算是进了保险箱。 
29 No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.
惟有内在是，才算真犹太人。真割礼是从心的，在乎灵，不在乎法典。这人的称赞不是从人来的，乃是从神来的。
