上帝公义的审判
1因此，你这论断人的啊，不管你是谁，都难逃罪责。你在什么事上论断别人，就在什么事上定了自己的罪，因为你论断别人的事，自己也在做。 2我们都知道，上帝必按真理审判做这些事的人。 3你这人啊，你论断别人，自己却做同样的事，你以为自己能逃脱上帝的审判吗？ 4还是你藐视祂深厚的慈爱、宽容和忍耐，不知道祂的慈爱是要引导你悔改吗？ 5你这样硬着心不肯悔改等于是为自己积蓄烈怒，上帝的烈怒在祂施行公义审判的那天必临到你。 6上帝必照各人的行为施行赏罚。 7凡是恒心行善、寻求荣耀、尊贵和永恒福分的人，祂要把永生赐给他们； 8至于那些自私自利、违背真理、行为不义的人，祂的烈怒和怒气要降在他们身上。 9一切作恶之人必受患难和痛苦，先是犹太人，然后是希腊人。 10祂要将荣耀、尊贵和平安赐给一切行善的人，先是犹太人，然后是希腊人。 11因为上帝不偏待人。
12没有上帝律法的人若犯罪，虽然不按律法受审判，仍要灭亡；有上帝律法的人若犯罪，必按律法受审判。 13因为上帝眼中的义人不是听到律法的人，而是遵行律法的人。 14没有律法的外族人若顺着天性做合乎律法的事，他们虽然没有律法，自己就是自己的律法。 15这表明律法的要求刻在他们心里，他们的良心也可以证明，因为他们的思想有时指控他们，有时为他们辩护。 16按照我所传的福音，到了审判之日，上帝要借着耶稣基督审判人一切隐秘的事。
犹太人与律法
17你自称是犹太人，倚仗上帝所赐的律法，自夸与上帝有特别的关系； 18你受过律法的教导，知道上帝的旨意，能明辨是非； 19你自信可以做盲人的向导、黑暗中的人的光、 20愚昧人的师傅、小孩子的老师，因为你从律法中得到了知识和真理。 21那么，你这教导别人的，为什么不教导自己呢？你教导人不可偷盗，自己却偷盗吗？ 22你告诉他人不可通奸，自己却通奸吗？你憎恶偶像，自己却去偷庙里的东西吗？ 23你以律法自夸，自己却违犯律法羞辱上帝吗？ 24正如圣经上说：“因你们的缘故，上帝的名在外族人中受到亵渎！”
25如果你遵行律法，割礼才有价值；如果你违犯律法，受了割礼也如同未受割礼。 26如果未受割礼的人遵行律法的教导，他岂不算是受了割礼吗？ 27身体未受割礼却遵行律法的人，必审判你这有律法条文、受了割礼却违犯律法的人。 28因为徒具外表的犹太人不是真正的犹太人，身体上的割礼也不是真正的割礼。 29唯有从心里做犹太人的才是真犹太人，真割礼是借着圣灵在心里受的割礼，不在于律法条文。这样的人得到的称赞不是从人来的，而是从上帝来的。
1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11For there is no respect of persons with God. 12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 19And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
