17你自稱是猶太人，倚仗上帝所賜的律法，自誇與上帝有特別的關係；18你受過律法的教導，知道上帝的旨意，能明辨是非；19你自信可以做盲人的嚮導、黑暗中的人的光、20愚昧人的師傅、小孩子的老師，因為你從律法中得到了知識和真理。21那麼，你這教導別人的，為什麼不教導自己呢？你教導人不可偷盜，自己卻偷盜嗎？22你告訴他人不可通姦，自己卻通姦嗎？你憎惡偶像，自己卻去偷廟裡的東西嗎？23你以律法自誇，自己卻違犯律法羞辱上帝嗎？24正如聖經上說：「因你們的緣故，上帝的名在外族人中受到褻瀆！」25如果你遵行律法，割禮才有價值；如果你違犯律法，受了割禮也如同未受割禮。26如果未受割禮的人遵行律法的教導，他豈不算是受了割禮嗎？27身體未受割禮卻遵行律法的人，必審判你這有律法條文、受了割禮卻違犯律法的人。28因為徒具外表的猶太人不是真正的猶太人，身體上的割禮也不是真正的割禮。29唯有從心裡做猶太人的才是真猶太人，真割禮是藉著聖靈在心裡受的割禮，不在於律法條文。這樣的人得到的稱讚不是從人來的，而是從上帝來的。

God’s Righteous Judgment
1Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.2We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.3Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?4Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?5But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.6He will render to each one according to his works:7to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;8but for those who are self-seeking* and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.9There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,10but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.11For God shows no partiality.
God’s Judgment and the Law
12For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.13For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.14For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.15They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them16on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.17But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God18and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law;19and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,20an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—21you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal?22You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?23You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law.24For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”25For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.26So, if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the precepts of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded* as circumcision?27Then he who is physically* uncircumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who have the written code* and circumcision but break the law.28For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.29But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
