| 3:1 | 这样说来，犹太人有什么长处，割礼有什么益处呢？
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? |
|
| 3:2 | 凡事大有好处。第一是神的圣言交托他们。
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. |
|
| 3:3 | 既便有不信的，这有何妨呢？难道他们的不信，就废掉神的信吗？
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
|
| 3:4 | 断乎不能。不如说，神是真实的，人都是虚谎的。如经上所记，你责备人的时候，显为公义。被人议论的时候，可以得胜。
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 | 我且照着人的常话说，我们的不义，若显出神的义来，我们可以怎么说呢？神降怒，是他不义吗？
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 | 断乎不是。若是这样，神怎能审判世界呢？
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? |
|
| 3:7 | 若神的真实，因我的虚谎，越发显出他的荣耀，为什么我还受审判，好像罪人呢？
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 | 为什么不说，我们可以作恶以成善呢？这是毁谤我们的人，说我们有这话。这等人定罪，是该当的。
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 | 这却怎么样呢？我们比他们强吗？决不是的。因为我们已经证明，犹太人和希腊人都在罪恶之下。
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 | 就如经上所记，没有义人，连一个也没有。
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: |
|
| 3:11 | 没有明白的，没有寻求神的。
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. |
|
| 3:12 | 都是偏离正路，一同变为无用。没有行善的，连一个也没有。
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. |
|
| 3:13 | 他们的喉咙是敞开的坟墓。他们用舌头弄诡诈。嘴唇里有虺蛇的毒气。
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: |
|
| 3:14 | 满口是咒骂苦毒。
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: |
|
| 3:15 | 杀人流血他们的脚飞跑。
Their feet are swift to shed blood: |
|
| 3:16 | 所经过的路，便行残害暴虐的事。
Destruction and misery are in their ways: |
|
| 3:17 | 平安的路，他们未曾知道。
And the way of peace have they not known: |
|
| 3:18 | 他们眼中不怕神。
There is no fear of God before their eyes. |
|
| 3:19 | 我们晓得律法上的话，都是对律法以下之人说的，好塞住各人的口，叫普世的人都伏在神的审判之下。
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 | 所以凡有血气的没有一个，因行律法，能在神面前称义。因为律法本是叫人知罪。
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 | 但如今神的义在律法以外已经显明出来，有律法和先知为证。
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; |
|
| 3:22 | 就是神的义，因信耶稣基督，加给一切相信的人，并没有分别。
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 | 因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀。
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; |
|
| 3:24 | 如今却蒙神的恩典，因基督耶稣的救赎，就白白的称义。
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: |
|
| 3:25 | 神设立耶稣作挽回祭，是凭着耶稣的血，藉着人的信，要显明神的义。因为他用忍耐的心，宽容人先时所犯的罪。
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 | 好在今时显明他的义，使人知道他自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义。
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 | 既是这样，那里能夸口呢？没有可夸的了。用何法没有的呢？是用立功之法吗？不是，乃用信主之法。
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. |
|
| 3:28 | 所以（有古卷作因为）我们看定了，人称义是因着信，不在乎遵行律法。
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. |
|
| 3:29 | 难道神只作犹太人的神吗？也不是作外邦人的神吗？是的，也作外邦人的神。
Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: |
|
| 3:30 | 神既是一位他就要因信称那受割礼的为义，也要因信称那未受割礼的为义。
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. |
|
| 3:31 | 这样，我们因信废了律法吗？断乎不是，更是坚固律法。
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. |
