Romans Chapter 1
章節 版本 經文
1:1 和合本 耶穌基督的僕人保羅，奉召為使徒，特派傳神的福音。
NIV Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God-
1:2 和合本 這福音是神從前藉眾先知在聖經上所應許的，
NIV the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
1:3 和合本 論到他兒子我主耶穌基督。按肉體說，是從大衛後裔生的；
NIV regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David,
1:4 和合本 按聖善的靈說，因從死裡復活，以大能顯明是神的兒子。
NIV and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
1:5 和合本 我們從他受了恩惠並使徒的職分，在萬國之中叫人為他的名信服真道；
NIV Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name's sake.
1:6 和合本 其中也有你們這蒙召屬耶穌基督的人。
NIV And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
1:7 和合本 我寫信給你們在羅馬、為神所愛、奉召作聖徒的眾人。願恩惠、平安從我們的父神並主耶穌基督歸與你們！
NIV To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:8 和合本 第一，我靠著耶穌基督，為你們眾人感謝我的神，因你們的信德傳遍了天下。
NIV First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
1:9 和合本 我在他兒子福音上，用心靈所事奉的神，可以見證我怎樣不住的提到你們；
NIV God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
1:10 和合本 在禱告之間常常懇求，或者照神的旨意，終能得平坦的道路往你們那裡去。
NIV in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
1:11 和合本 因為我切切的想見你們，要把些屬靈的恩賜分給你們，使你們可以堅固。
NIV I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong-
1:12 和合本 這樣，我在你們中間，因你與我彼此的信心，就可以同得安慰。
NIV that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
1:13 和合本 弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道，我屢次定意往你們那裡去，要在你們中間得些果子，如同在其餘的外邦人中一樣；只是到如今仍有阻隔。
NIV I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
1:14 和合本 無論是希利尼人、化外人、聰明人、愚拙人，我都欠他們的債，
NIV I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
1:15 和合本 所以情願盡我的力量，將福音也傳給你們在羅馬的人。
NIV That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
1:16 和合本 我不以福音為恥；這福音本是神的大能，要救一切相信的，先是猶太人，後是希利尼人。
NIV For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
1:17 和合本 因為神的義正在這福音上顯明出來；這義是本於信，以致於信。如經上所記：「義人必因信得生。」
NIV For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed-a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
1:18 和合本 原來，神的忿怒從天上顯明在一切不虔不義的人身上，就是那些行不義阻擋真理的人。
NIV The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
1:19 和合本 神的事情，人所能知道的，原顯明在人心裡，因為神已經給他們顯明。
NIV since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
1:20 和合本 自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但藉著所造之物就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。
NIV For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
1:21 和合本 因為，他們雖然知道神，卻不當作神榮耀他，也不感謝他。他們的思念變為虛妄，無知的心就昏暗了。
NIV For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
1:22 和合本 自稱為聰明，反成了愚拙，
NIV Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
1:23 和合本 將不能朽壞之神的榮耀變為偶像，彷彿必朽壞的人和飛禽、走獸、昆蟲的樣式。
NIV and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
1:24 和合本 所以，神任憑他們逞著心裡的情慾行污穢的事，以致彼此玷辱自己的身體。
NIV Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
1:25 和合本 他們將神的真實變為虛謊，去敬拜事奉受造之物，不敬奉那造物的主；主乃是可稱頌的，直到永遠。阿們！
NIV They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
1:26 和合本 因此，神任憑他們放縱可羞恥的情慾。他們的女人把順性的用處變為逆性的用處；
NIV Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
1:27 和合本 男人也是如此，棄了女人順性的用處，慾火攻心，彼此貪戀，男和男行可羞恥的事，就在自己身上受這妄為當得的報應。
NIV In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1:28 和合本 他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；
NIV Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
1:29 和合本 裝滿了各樣不義、邪惡、貪婪、惡毒（或作：陰毒），滿心是嫉妒、兇殺、爭競、詭詐、毒恨；
NIV They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
1:30 和合本 又是讒毀的、背後說人的、怨恨神的（或作：被神所憎惡的）、侮慢人的、狂傲的、自誇的、捏造惡事的、違背父母的。
NIV slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
1:31 和合本 無知的，背約的，無親情的，不憐憫人的。
NIV they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
1:32 和合本 他們雖知道神判定行這樣事的人是當死的，然而他們不但自己去行，還喜歡別人去行。
NIV Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans Chapter 2
章節 版本 經文
2:1 和合本 你這論斷人的，無論你是誰，也無可推諉。你在什麼事上論斷人，就在什麼事上定自己的罪；因你這論斷人的，自己所行卻和別人一樣。
NIV You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
2:2 和合本 我們知道這樣行的人，神必照真理審判他。
NIV Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
2:3 和合本 你這人哪，你論斷行這樣事的人，自己所行的卻和別人一樣，你以為能逃脫神的審判嗎？
NIV So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?
2:4 和合本 還是你藐視他豐富的恩慈、寬容、忍耐，不曉得他的恩慈是領你悔改呢？
NIV Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
2:5 和合本 你竟任著你剛硬不悔改的心，為自己積蓄忿怒，以致神震怒，顯出他公義審判的日子來到。
NIV 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.
2:6 和合本 他必照各人的行為報應各人。
NIV God "will repay each person according to what they have done."
2:7 和合本 凡恆心行善、尋求榮耀、尊貴和不能朽壞之福的，就以永生報應他們；
NIV To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
2:8 和合本 惟有結黨、不順從真理、反順從不義的，就以忿怒、惱恨報應他們。
NIV But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
2:9 和合本 將患難、困苦加給一切作惡的人，先是猶太人，後是希利尼人；
NIV There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
2:10 和合本 卻將榮耀、尊貴、平安加給一切行善的人，先是猶太人，後是希利尼人。
NIV but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
2:11 和合本 因為神不偏待人。
NIV For God does not show favoritism.
2:12 和合本 凡沒有律法犯了罪的，也必不按律法滅亡；凡在律法以下犯了罪的，也必按律法受審判。
NIV 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.
2:13 和合本 （原來在神面前，不是聽律法的為義，乃是行律法的稱義。
NIV 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.
2:14 和合本 沒有律法的外邦人若順著本性行律法上的事，他們雖然沒有律法，自己就是自己的律法。
NIV (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.
2:15 和合本 這是顯出律法的功用刻在他們心裡，他們是非之心同作見證，並且他們的思念互相較量，或以為是，或以為非。）
NIV They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
2:16 和合本 就在神藉耶穌基督審判人隱秘事的日子，照著我的福音所言。
NIV This will take place on the day when God judges people's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
2:17 和合本 你稱為猶太人，又倚靠律法，且指著神誇口；
NIV Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;
2:18 和合本 既從律法中受了教訓，就曉得神的旨意，也能分別是非（或作：也喜愛那美好的事）；
NIV if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;
2:19 和合本 又深信自己是給瞎子領路的，是黑暗中人的光，
NIV if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,
2:20 和合本 是蠢笨人的師傅，是小孩子的先生，在律法上有知識和真理的模範。
NIV an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth-
2:21 和合本 你既是教導別人，還不教導自己嗎？你講說人不可偷竊，自己還偷竊嗎？
NIV you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
2:22 和合本 你說人不可姦淫，自己還姦淫嗎？你厭惡偶像，自己還偷竊廟中之物嗎？
NIV You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
2:23 和合本 你指著律法誇口，自己倒犯律法，玷辱神麼？
NIV You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
2:24 和合本 神的名在外邦人中，因你們受了褻瀆，正如經上所記的。
NIV As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."
2:25 和合本 你若是行律法的，割禮固然於你有益；若是犯律法的，你的割禮就算不得割禮。
NIV Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.
2:26 和合本 所以那未受割禮的，若遵守律法的條例，他雖然未受割禮，豈不算是有割禮嗎？
NIV So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?
2:27 和合本 而且那本來未受割禮的，若能全守律法，豈不是要審判你這有儀文和割禮竟犯律法的人嗎？
NIV 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.
2:28 和合本 因為外面作猶太人的，不是真猶太人；外面肉身的割禮，也不是真割禮。
NIV A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
2:29 和合本 惟有裡面作的，才是真猶太人；真割禮也是心裡的，在乎靈，不在乎儀文。這人的稱讚不是從人來的，乃是從神來的。
NIV No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person's praise is not from other people, but from God.

章節 版本 經文
3:1 和合本 這樣說來，猶太人有什麼長處？割禮有什麼益處呢？
NIV What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?
3:2 和合本 凡事大有好處：第一是神的聖言交託他們。
NIV Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.
3:3 和合本 即便有不信的，這有何妨呢？難道他們的不信就廢掉神的信嗎？
NIV What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness?
3:4 和合本 斷乎不能！不如說，神是真實的，人都是虛謊的。如經上所記：你責備人的時候，顯為公義；被人議論的時候，可以得勝。
NIV Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge."
3:5 和合本 我且照著人的常話說，我們的不義若顯出神的義來，我們可以怎麼說呢？神降怒，是他不義嗎？
NIV But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)
3:6 和合本 斷乎不是！若是這樣，神怎能審判世界呢？
NIV Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?
3:7 和合本 若神的真實，因我的虛謊越發顯出他的榮耀，為什麼我還受審判，好像罪人呢？
NIV Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?"
3:8 和合本 為什麼不說，我們可以作惡以成善呢？這是毀謗我們的人說我們有這話。這等人定罪是該當的。
NIV Why not say-as some slanderously claim that we say-"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is just!
3:9 和合本 這卻怎麼樣呢？我們比他們強嗎？決不是的！因我們已經證明：猶太人和希利尼人都在罪惡之下。
NIV What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.
3:10 和合本 就如經上所記：沒有義人，連一個也沒有。
NIV As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;
3:11 和合本 沒有明白的；沒有尋求神的；
NIV there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
3:12 和合本 都是偏離正路，一同變為無用。沒有行善的，連一個也沒有。
NIV All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
3:13 和合本 他們的喉嚨是敞開的墳墓；他們用舌頭弄詭詐，嘴唇裡有虺蛇的毒氣，
NIV "Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit." "The poison of vipers is on their lips."
3:14 和合本 滿口是咒罵苦毒。
NIV "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness."
3:15 和合本 殺人流血，他們的腳飛跑，
NIV "Their feet are swift to shed blood;
3:16 和合本 所經過的路便行殘害暴虐的事。
NIV ruin and misery mark their ways,
3:17 和合本 平安的路，他們未曾知道；
NIV and the way of peace they do not know."
3:18 和合本 他們眼中不怕神。
NIV "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
3:19 和合本 我們曉得律法上的話都是對律法以下之人說的，好塞住各人的口，叫普世的人都伏在神審判之下。
NIV Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
3:20 和合本 所以凡有血氣的，沒有一個因行律法能在神面前稱義，因為律法本是叫人知罪。
NIV Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
3:21 和合本 但如今，神的義在律法以外已經顯明出來，有律法和先知為證：
NIV But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
3:22 和合本 就是神的義，因信耶穌基督加給一切相信的人，並沒有分別。
NIV This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
3:23 和合本 因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀；
NIV for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
3:24 和合本 如今卻蒙神的恩典，因基督耶穌的救贖，就白白的稱義。
NIV and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
3:25 和合本 神設立耶穌作挽回祭，是憑著耶穌的血，藉著人的信，要顯明神的義；因為他用忍耐的心寬容人先時所犯的罪，
NIV God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood-to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-
3:26 和合本 好在今時顯明他的義，使人知道他自己為義，也稱信耶穌的人為義。
NIV he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
3:27 和合本 既是這樣，那裡能誇口呢？沒有可誇的了。用何法沒有的呢？是用立功之法嗎？不是，乃用信主之法。
NIV Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.
3:28 和合本 所以（有古卷：因為）我們看定了：人稱義是因著信，不在乎遵行律法。
NIV For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
3:29 和合本 難道神只作猶太人的神嗎？不也是作外邦人的神嗎？是的，也作外邦人的神。
NIV Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
3:30 和合本 神既是一位，他就要因信稱那受割禮的為義，也要因信稱那未受割禮的為義。
NIV since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
3:31 和合本 這樣，我們因信廢了律法嗎？斷乎不是！更是堅固律法。
NIV Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
Romans Chapter 4
章節 版本 經文
4:1 和合本 如此說來，我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕憑著肉體得了什麼呢？
NIV What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?
4:2 和合本 倘若亞伯拉罕是因行為稱義，就有可誇的；只是在神面前並無可誇。
NIV If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God.
4:3 和合本 經上說什麼呢？說：「亞伯拉罕信神，這就算為他的義。」
NIV What does Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
4:4 和合本 做工的得工價，不算恩典，乃是該得的；
NIV Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.
4:5 和合本 惟有不做工的，只信稱罪人為義的神，他的信就算為義。
NIV However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
4:6 和合本 正如大衛稱那在行為以外蒙神算為義的人是有福的。
NIV David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
4:7 和合本 他說：得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的，這人是有福的。
NIV "Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
4:8 和合本 主不算為有罪的，這人是有福的。
NIV Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them."
4:9 和合本 如此看來，這福是單加給那受割禮的人嗎？不也是加給那未受割禮的人嗎？因我們所說，亞伯拉罕的信，就算為他的義，
NIV Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.
4:10 和合本 是怎麼算的呢？是在他受割禮的時候呢？是在他未受割禮的時候呢？不是在受割禮的時候，乃是在未受割禮的時候。
NIV Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!
4:11 和合本 並且他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，叫他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義；
NIV And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
4:12 和合本 又作受割禮之人的父，就是那些不但受割禮，並且按我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕未受割禮而信之蹤跡去行的人。
NIV And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
4:13 和合本 因為神應許亞伯拉罕和他後裔，必得承受世界，不是因律法，乃是因信而得的義。
NIV It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
4:14 和合本 若是屬乎律法的人才得為後嗣，信就歸於虛空，應許也就廢棄了。
NIV For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,
4:15 和合本 因為律法是惹動忿怒的（或作：叫人受刑的）；那裡沒有律法，那裡就沒有過犯。
NIV because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
4:16 和合本 所以人得為後嗣是本乎信，因此就屬乎恩，叫應許定然歸給一切後裔；不但歸給那屬乎律法的，也歸給那效法亞伯拉罕之信的。
NIV Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring-not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
4:17 和合本 亞伯拉罕所信的，是那叫死人復活、使無變為有的神，他在主面前作我們世人的父。如經上所記：「我已經立你作多國的父。」
NIV As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
4:18 和合本 他在無可指望的時候，因信仍有指望，就得以作多國的父，正如先前所說，「你的後裔將要如此。」
NIV Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
4:19 和合本 他將近百歲的時候，雖然想到自己的身體如同已死，撒拉的生育已經斷絕，他的信心還是不軟弱；
NIV Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead-since he was about a hundred years old-and that Sarah's womb was also dead.
4:20 和合本 並且仰望神的應許，總沒有因不信心裡起疑惑，反倒因信心裡得堅固，將榮耀歸給神，
NIV Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
4:21 和合本 且滿心相信神所應許的必能做成。
NIV being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
4:22 和合本 所以，這就算為他的義。
NIV This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."
4:23 和合本 「算為他義」的這句話不是單為他寫的，
NIV The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone,
4:24 和合本 也是為我們將來得算為義之人寫的，就是我們這信神使我們的主耶穌從死裡復活的人。
NIV but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness-for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
4:25 和合本 耶穌被交給人，是為我們的過犯；復活，是為叫我們稱義（或作：耶穌是為我們的過犯交付了，是為我們稱義復活了）。
NIV He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
Romans Chapter 5
章節 版本 經文
5:1 和合本 我們既因信稱義，就藉著我們的主耶穌基督得與神相和。
NIV Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:2 和合本 我們又藉著他，因信得進入現在所站的這恩典中，並且歡歡喜喜盼望神的榮耀。
NIV through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
5:3 和合本 不但如此，就是在患難中也是歡歡喜喜的；因為知道患難生忍耐，
NIV Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
5:4 和合本 忍耐生老練，老練生盼望；
NIV perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5:5 和合本 盼望不至於羞恥，因為所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。
NIV And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
5:6 和合本 因我們還軟弱的時候，基督就按所定的日期為罪人死。
NIV You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
5:7 和合本 為義人死，是少有的；為仁人死、或者有敢做的。
NIV Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
5:8 和合本 惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死，神的愛就在此向我們顯明了。
NIV But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
5:9 和合本 現在我們既靠著他的血稱義，就更要藉著他免去神的忿怒。
NIV Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
5:10 和合本 因為我們作仇敵的時候，且藉著神兒子的死，得與神和好；既已和好，就更要因他的生得救了。
NIV For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
5:11 和合本 不但如此，我們既藉著我主耶穌基督得與神和好，也就藉著他以神為樂。
NIV Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
5:12 和合本 這就如罪是從一人入了世界，死又是從罪來的；於是死就臨到眾人，因為眾人都犯了罪。
NIV Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned-
5:13 和合本 沒有律法之先，罪已經在世上；但沒有律法，罪也不算罪。
NIV To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.
5:14 和合本 然而從亞當到摩西，死就作了王，連那些不與亞當犯一樣罪過的，也在他的權下。亞當乃是那以後要來之人的預像。
NIV Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
5:15 和合本 只是過犯不如恩賜，若因一人的過犯，眾人都死了，何況神的恩典，與那因耶穌基督一人恩典中的賞賜，豈不更加倍的臨到眾人嗎？
NIV But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
5:16 和合本 因一人犯罪就定罪，也不如恩賜，原來審判是由一人而定罪，恩賜乃是由許多過犯而稱義。
NIV Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
5:17 和合本 若因一人的過犯，死就因這一人作了王，何況那些受洪恩又蒙所賜之義的，豈不更要因耶穌基督一人在生命中作王嗎？
NIV For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
5:18 和合本 如此說來，因一次的過犯，眾人都被定罪；照樣，因一次的義行，眾人也就被稱義得生命了。
NIV Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
5:19 和合本 因一人的悖逆，眾人成為罪人；照樣，因一人的順從，眾人也成為義了。
NIV For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
5:20 和合本 律法本是外添的，叫過犯顯多；只是罪在那裡顯多，恩典就更顯多了。
NIV The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
5:21 和合本 就如罪作王叫人死；照樣，恩典也藉著義作王，叫人因我們的主耶穌基督得永生。
NIV so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans Chapter 6
章節 版本 經文
6:1 和合本 這樣，怎麼說呢？我們可以仍在罪中、叫恩典顯多嗎？
NIV What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
6:2 和合本 斷乎不可！我們在罪上死了的人豈可仍在罪中活著呢？
NIV By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
6:3 和合本 豈不知我們這受洗歸入基督耶穌的人是受洗歸入他的死嗎？
NIV Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
6:4 和合本 所以，我們藉著洗禮歸入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我們一舉一動有新生的樣式，像基督藉著父的榮耀從死裡復活一樣。
NIV We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
6:5 和合本 我們若在他死的形狀上與他聯合，也要在他復活的形狀上與他聯合；
NIV For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6:6 和合本 因為知道我們的舊人和他同釘十字架，使罪身滅絕，叫我們不再作罪的奴僕；
NIV For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin-
6:7 和合本 因為已死的人是脫離了罪。
NIV because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
6:8 和合本 我們若是與基督同死，就信必與他同活。
NIV Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
6:9 和合本 因為知道基督既從死裡復活，就不再死，死也不再作他的主了。
NIV For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
6:10 和合本 他死是向罪死了，只有一次；他活是向神活著。
NIV The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
6:11 和合本 這樣，你們向罪也當看自己是死的；向神在基督耶穌裡，卻當看自己是活的。
NIV In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
6:12 和合本 所以，不要容罪在你們必死的身上作王，使你們順從身子的私慾。
NIV Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
6:13 和合本 也不要將你們的肢體獻給罪作不義的器具；倒要像從死裡復活的人，將自己獻給神，並將肢體作義的器具獻給神。
NIV Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
6:14 和合本 罪必不能作你們的主，因你們不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。
NIV For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
6:15 和合本 這卻怎麼樣呢？我們在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪嗎？斷乎不可！
NIV What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!
6:16 和合本 豈不曉得你們獻上自己作奴僕，順從誰，就作誰的奴僕嗎？或作罪的奴僕，以至於死；或作順命的奴僕，以至成義。
NIV Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
6:17 和合本 感謝神！因為你們從前雖然作罪的奴僕，現今卻從心裡順服了所傳給你們道理的模範。
NIV But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.
6:18 和合本 你們既從罪裡得了釋放，就作了義的奴僕。
NIV You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
6:19 和合本 我因你們肉體的軟弱，就照人的常話對你們說。你們從前怎樣將肢體獻給不潔不法作奴僕，以至於不法；現今也要照樣將肢體獻給義作奴僕，以至於成聖。
NIV I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
6:20 和合本 因為你們作罪之奴僕的時候，就不被義約束了。
NIV When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
6:21 和合本 你們現今所看為羞恥的事，當日有什麼果子呢？那些事的結局就是死。
NIV What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
6:22 和合本 但現今，你們既從罪裡得了釋放，作了神的奴僕，就有成聖的果子，那結局就是永生。
NIV But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
6:23 和合本 因為罪的工價乃是死；惟有神的恩賜，在我們的主基督耶穌裡，乃是永生。
NIV For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans Chapter 7
章節 版本 經文
7:1 和合本 弟兄們，我現在對明白律法的人說，你們豈不曉得律法管人是在活著的時候嗎？
NIV Do you not know, brothers and sisters-for I am speaking to those who know the law-that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?
7:2 和合本 就如女人有了丈夫，丈夫還活著，就被律法約束；丈夫若死了，就脫離了丈夫的律法。
NIV For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.
7:3 和合本 所以丈夫活著，他若歸於別人，便叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，他就脫離了丈夫的律法，雖然歸於別人，也不是淫婦。
NIV So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
7:4 和合本 我的弟兄們，這樣說來，你們藉著基督的身體，在律法上也是死了，叫你們歸於別人，就是歸於那從死裡復活的，叫我們結果子給神。
NIV So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
7:5 和合本 因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生的惡慾就在我們肢體中發動，以致結成死亡的果子。
NIV For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death.
7:6 和合本 但我們既然在捆我們的律法上死了，現今就脫離了律法，叫我們服事主，要按著心靈（心靈：或作聖靈）的新樣，不按著儀文的舊樣。
NIV But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
7:7 和合本 這樣，我們可說什麼呢？律法是罪嗎？斷乎不是！只是非因律法，我就不知何為罪。非律法說「不可起貪心」，我就不知何為貪心。
NIV What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."
7:8 和合本 然而罪趁著機會，就藉著誡命叫諸般的貪心在我裡頭發動；因為沒有律法，罪是死的。
NIV But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
7:9 和合本 我以前沒有律法是活著的；但是誡命來到，罪又活了，我就死了。
NIV Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
7:10 和合本 那本來叫人活的誡命，反倒叫我死；
NIV I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
7:11 和合本 因為罪趁著機會，就藉著誡命引誘我，並且殺了我。
NIV For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
7:12 和合本 這樣看來，律法是聖潔的，誡命也是聖潔、公義、良善的。
NIV So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
7:13 和合本 既然如此，那良善的是叫我死嗎？斷乎不是！叫我死的乃是罪。但罪藉著那良善的叫我死，就顯出真是罪，叫罪因著誡命更顯出是惡極了。
NIV Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
7:14 和合本 我們原曉得律法是屬乎靈的，但我是屬乎肉體的，是已經賣給罪了。
NIV We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
7:15 和合本 因為我所做的，我自己不明白；我所願意的，我並不做；我所恨惡的，我倒去做。
NIV I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
7:16 和合本 若我所做的，是我所不願意的，我就應承律法是善的。
NIV And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
7:17 和合本 既是這樣，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裡頭的罪做的。
NIV As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
7:18 和合本 我也知道在我裡頭，就是我肉體之中，沒有良善。因為，立志為善由得我，只是行出來由不得我。
NIV For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
7:19 和合本 故此，我所願意的善，我反不做；我所不願意的惡，我倒去做。
NIV For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing.
7:20 和合本 若我去做所不願意做的，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裡頭的罪做的。
NIV Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
7:21 和合本 我覺得有個律，就是我願意為善的時候，便有惡與我同在。
NIV So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
7:22 和合本 因為按著我裡面的意思（原文作人），我是喜歡神的律；
NIV For in my inner being I delight in God's law;
7:23 和合本 但我覺得肢體中另有個律和我心中的律交戰，把我擄去，叫我附從那肢體中犯罪的律。
NIV but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
7:24 和合本 我真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這取死的身體呢？
NIV What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?
7:25 和合本 感謝神，靠著我們的主耶穌基督就能脫離了。這樣看來，我以內心順服神的律，我肉體卻順服罪的律了。
NIV Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Romans Chapter 8
章節 版本 經文
8:1 和合本 如今，那些在基督耶穌裡的就不定罪了。
NIV Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
8:2 和合本 因為賜生命聖靈的律，在基督耶穌裡釋放了我，使我脫離罪和死的律了。
NIV because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
8:3 和合本 律法既因肉體軟弱，有所不能行的，神就差遣自己的兒子，成為罪身的形狀，作了贖罪祭，在肉體中定了罪案，
NIV For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
8:4 和合本 使律法的義成就在我們這不隨從肉體、只隨從聖靈的人身上。
NIV in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
8:5 和合本 因為隨從肉體的人體貼肉體的事，隨從聖靈的人體貼聖靈的事。
NIV Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
8:6 和合本 體貼肉體的，就是死；體貼聖靈的，乃是生命、平安。
NIV The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
8:7 和合本 原來體貼肉體的，就是與神為仇；因為不服神的律法，也是不能服，
NIV The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
8:8 和合本 而且屬肉體的人不能得神的喜歡。
NIV Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
8:9 和合本 如果神的靈住在你們心裡，你們就不屬肉體，乃屬聖靈了。人若沒有基督的靈，就不是屬基督的。
NIV You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
8:10 和合本 基督若在你們心裡，身體就因罪而死，心靈卻因義而活。
NIV But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
8:11 和合本 然而，叫耶穌從死裡復活者的靈若住在你們心裡，那叫基督耶穌從死裡復活的，也必藉著住在你們心裡的聖靈，使你們必死的身體又活過來。
NIV And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
8:12 和合本 弟兄們，這樣看來，我們並不是欠肉體的債去順從肉體活著。
NIV Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation-but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
8:13 和合本 你們若順從肉體活著，必要死；若靠著聖靈治死身體的惡行，必要活著。
NIV For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
8:14 和合本 因為凡被神的靈引導的，都是神的兒子。
NIV For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
8:15 和合本 你們所受的，不是奴僕的心，仍舊害怕；所受的，乃是兒子的心，因此我們呼叫：「阿爸！父！」
NIV The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
8:16 和合本 聖靈與我們的心同證我們是神的兒女；
NIV The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
8:17 和合本 既是兒女，便是後嗣，就是神的後嗣，和基督同作後嗣。如果我們和他一同受苦，也必和他一同得榮耀。
NIV Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
8:18 和合本 我想，現在的苦楚若比起將來要顯於我們的榮耀就不足介意了。
NIV I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
8:19 和合本 受造之物切望等候神的眾子顯出來。
NIV For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
8:20 和合本 因為受造之物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，乃是因那叫他如此的。
NIV For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
8:21 和合本 但受造之物仍然指望脫離敗壞的轄制，得享（享：原文作入）神兒女自由的榮耀。
NIV that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
8:22 和合本 我們知道一切受造之物一同歎息、勞苦，直到如今。
NIV We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
8:23 和合本 不但如此，就是我們這有聖靈初結果子的，也是自己心裡歎息，等候得著兒子的名分，乃是我們的身體得贖。
NIV Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
8:24 和合本 我們得救是在乎盼望；只是所見的盼望不是盼望，誰還盼望他所見的呢（有古卷：人所著見的何必再盼望呢）？
NIV For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
8:25 和合本 但我們若盼望那所不見的，就必忍耐等候。
NIV But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
8:26 和合本 況且我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助，我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的歎息替我們禱告。
NIV In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
8:27 和合本 鑒察人心的，曉得聖靈的意思，因為聖靈照著神的旨意替聖徒祈求。
NIV And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.
8:28 和合本 我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。
NIV And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
8:29 和合本 因為他預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣，使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。
NIV For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
8:30 和合本 預先所定下的人又召他們來；所召來的人又稱他們為義；所稱為義的人又叫他們得榮耀。
NIV And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
8:31 和合本 既是這樣，還有什麼說的呢？神若幫助我們，誰能敵擋我們呢？
NIV What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
8:32 和合本 神既不愛惜自己的兒子，為我們眾人捨了，豈不也把萬物和他一同白白的賜給我們嗎？
NIV He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
8:33 和合本 誰能控告神所揀選的人呢？有神稱他們為義了（或作：是稱他們為義的神嗎）。
NIV Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
8:34 和合本 誰能定他們的罪呢？有基督耶穌已經死了，而且從死裡復活，現今在神的右邊，也替我們祈求（有基督云云或作是已經死了，而且從死裡復活，現今在神的右邊，也替我們祈求的基督耶穌嗎）
NIV Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
8:35 和合本 誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？難道是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是逼迫嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？
NIV Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
8:36 和合本 如經上所記：我們為你的緣故終日被殺；人看我們如將宰的羊。
NIV As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
8:37 和合本 然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。
NIV No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
8:38 和合本 因為我深信無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是有能的，是現在的事，是將來的事，
NIV For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
8:39 和合本 是高處的，是低處的，是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕；這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裡的。
NIV neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans Chapter 9
章節 版本 經文
9:1 和合本 我在基督裡說真話，並不謊言，有我良心被聖靈感動，給我作見證；
NIV I speak the truth in Christ-I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit-
9:2 和合本 我是大有憂愁，心裡時常傷痛；
NIV I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
9:3 和合本 為我弟兄，我骨肉之親，就是自己被咒詛，與基督分離，我也願意。
NIV For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,
9:4 和合本 他們是以色列人；那兒子的名分、榮耀、諸約、律法、禮儀、應許都是他們的。
NIV the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.
9:5 和合本 列祖就是他們的祖宗，按肉體說，基督也是從他們出來的，他是在萬有之上，永遠可稱頌的神。阿們！
NIV Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.
9:6 和合本 這不是說神的話落了空。因為從以色列生的不都是以色列人，
NIV It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
9:7 和合本 也不因為是亞伯拉罕的後裔就都作他的兒女；惟獨「從以撒生的才要稱為你的後裔。」
NIV Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."
9:8 和合本 這就是說，肉身所生的兒女不是神的兒女，惟獨那應許的兒女才算是後裔。
NIV In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
9:9 和合本 因為所應許的話是這樣說：「到明年這時候我要來，撒拉必生一個兒子。」
NIV For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."
9:10 和合本 不但如此，還有利百加，既從一個人，就是從我們的祖宗以撒懷了孕，
NIV Not only that, but Rebekah's children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.
9:11 和合本 （雙子還沒有生下來，善惡還沒有做出來，只因要顯明神揀選人的旨意，不在乎人的行為，乃在乎召人的主。）
NIV Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad-in order that God's purpose in election might stand:
9:12 和合本 神就對利百加說：「將來大的要服事小的。」
NIV not by works but by him who calls-she was told, "The older will serve the younger."
9:13 和合本 正如經上所記：雅各是我所愛的；以掃是我所惡的。
NIV Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
9:14 和合本 這樣，我們可說什麼呢？難道神有什麼不公平嗎？斷乎沒有！
NIV What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
9:15 和合本 因他對摩西說：我要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要恩待誰就恩待誰。
NIV For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
9:16 和合本 據此看來，這不在乎那定意的，也不在乎那奔跑的，只在乎發憐憫的神。
NIV It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
9:17 和合本 因為經上有話向法老說：「我將你興起來，特要在你身上彰顯我的權能，並要使我的名傳遍天下。」
NIV For Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
9:18 和合本 如此看來，神要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要叫誰剛硬就叫誰剛硬。
NIV Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
9:19 和合本 這樣，你必對我說：「他為什麼還指責人呢？有誰抗拒他的旨意呢？」
NIV One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?"
9:20 和合本 你這個人哪，你是誰，竟敢向神強嘴呢？受造之物豈能對造他的說：「你為什麼這樣造我呢？
NIV But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' "
9:21 和合本 窯匠難道沒有權柄從一團泥裡拿一塊作成貴重的器皿，又拿一塊作成卑賤的器皿嗎？
NIV Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
9:22 和合本 倘若神要顯明他的忿怒，彰顯他的權能，就多多忍耐寬容那可怒預備遭毀滅的器皿，
NIV What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath-prepared for destruction?
9:23 和合本 又要將他豐盛的榮耀彰顯在那蒙憐憫早預備得榮耀的器皿上。
NIV What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory-
9:24 和合本 這器皿就是我們被神所召的，不但是從猶太人中，也是從外邦人中。這有什麼不可呢？
NIV even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
9:25 和合本 就像神在何西阿書上說：那本來不是我子民的，我要稱為「我的子民」；本來不是蒙愛的，我要稱為「蒙愛的」。
NIV As he says in Hosea: "I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one,"
9:26 和合本 從前在什麼地方對他們說：你們不是我的子民，將來就在那裡稱他們為「永生神的兒子」。
NIV and, "In the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'children of the living God.' "
9:27 和合本 以賽亞指著以色列人喊著說：「以色列人雖多如海沙，得救的不過是剩下的餘數；
NIV Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
9:28 和合本 因為主要在世上施行他的話，叫他的話都成全，速速的完結。」
NIV For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality."
9:29 和合本 又如以賽亞先前說過：若不是萬軍之主給我們存留餘種，我們早已像所多瑪，蛾摩拉的樣子了。
NIV It is just as Isaiah said previously: "Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah."
9:30 和合本 這樣，我們可說什麼呢？那本來不追求義的外邦人反得了義，就是因信而得的義。
NIV What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
9:31 和合本 但以色列人追求律法的義，反得不著律法的義。
NIV but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.
9:32 和合本 這是什麼緣故呢？是因為他們不憑著信心求，只憑著行為求，他們正跌在那絆腳石上。
NIV Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.
9:33 和合本 就如經上所記：我在錫安放一塊絆腳的石頭，跌人的磐石；信靠他的人必不至於羞愧。
NIV As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame."
Romans Chapter 10
章節 版本 經文
10:1 和合本 弟兄們，我心裡所願的，向神所求的，是要以色列人得救。
NIV Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.
10:2 和合本 我可以證明他們向神有熱心，但不是按著真知識；
NIV For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.
10:3 和合本 因為不知道神的義，想要立自己的義，就不服神的義了。
NIV Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
10:4 和合本 律法的總結就是基督，使凡信他的都得著義。
NIV Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
10:5 和合本 摩西寫著說：「人若行那出於律法的義，就必因此活著。」
NIV Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them."
10:6 和合本 惟有出於信心的義如此說：「你不要心裡說：誰要升到天上去呢？（就是要領下基督來；）
NIV But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down)
10:7 和合本 誰要下到陰間去呢？（就是要領基督從死裡上來。）」
NIV "or 'Who will descend into the deep?' " (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
10:8 和合本 他到底怎麼說呢？他說：這道離你不遠，正在你口裡，在你心裡。（就是我們所傳信主的道。）
NIV But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
10:9 和合本 你若口裡認耶穌為主，心裡信神叫他從死裡復活，就必得救。
NIV If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10:10 和合本 因為人心裡相信，就可以稱義；口裡承認，就可以得救。
NIV For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
10:11 和合本 經上說：「凡信他的人必不至於羞愧。」
NIV As Scripture says, "Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame."
10:12 和合本 猶太人和希利尼人並沒有分別，因為眾人同有一位主；他也厚待一切求告他的人。
NIV For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
10:13 和合本 因為「凡求告主名的，就必得救。」
NIV for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
10:14 和合本 然而，人未曾信他，怎能求他呢？未曾聽見他，怎能信他呢？沒有傳道的，怎能聽見呢？
NIV How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
10:15 和合本 若沒有奉差遣，怎能傳道呢？如經上所記：「報福音、傳喜信的人，他們的腳蹤何等佳美。」
NIV And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
10:16 和合本 只是人沒有都聽從福音，因為以賽亞說：「主啊，我們所傳的有誰信呢？」
NIV But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?"
10:17 和合本 可見信道是從聽道來的，聽道是從基督的話來的。
NIV Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
10:18 和合本 但我說，人沒有聽見嗎？誠然聽見了。他們的聲音傳遍天下；他們的言語傳到地極。
NIV But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."
10:19 和合本 我再說，以色列人不知道嗎？先有摩西說：我要用那不成子民的，惹動你們的憤恨；我要用那無知的民觸動你們的怒氣。
NIV Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, "I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding."
10:20 和合本 又有以賽亞放膽說：沒有尋找我的，我叫他們遇見；沒有訪問我的，我向他們顯現。
NIV And Isaiah boldly says, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me."
10:21 和合本 至於以色列人，他說：「我整天伸手招呼那悖逆頂嘴的百姓。」
NIV But concerning Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
Romans Chapter 11
章節 版本 經文
11:1 和合本 我且說，神棄絕了他的百姓嗎？斷乎沒有！因為我也是以色列人，亞伯拉罕的後裔，屬便雅憫支派的。
NIV I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
11:2 和合本 神並沒有棄絕他預先所知道的百姓。你們豈不曉得經上論到以利亞是怎麼說的呢？他在神面前怎樣控告以色列人說：
NIV God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah-how he appealed to God against Israel:
11:3 和合本 「主啊，他們殺了你的先知，拆了你的祭壇，只剩下我一個人，他們還要尋索我的命。」
NIV "Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me" ?
11:4 和合本 神的回話是怎麼說的呢？他說：「我為自己留下七千人，是未曾向巴力屈膝的。」
NIV And what was God's answer to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
11:5 和合本 如今也是這樣，照著揀選的恩典，還有所留的餘數。
NIV So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
11:6 和合本 既是出於恩典，就不在乎行為；不然，恩典就不是恩典了。
NIV And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
11:7 和合本 這是怎麼樣呢？以色列人所求的，他們沒有得著，惟有蒙揀選的人得著了；其餘的就成了頑梗不化的。
NIV What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,
11:8 和合本 如經上所記：神給他們昏迷的心，眼睛不能看見，耳朵不能聽見，直到今日。
NIV as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day."
11:9 和合本 大衛也說：願他們的筵席變為網羅，變為機檻，變為絆腳石，作他們的報應。
NIV And David says: "May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
11:10 和合本 願他們的眼睛昏矇，不得看見；願你時常彎下他們的腰。
NIV May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever."
11:11 和合本 我且說，他們失腳是要他們跌倒嗎？斷乎不是！反倒因他們的過失，救恩便臨到外邦人，要激動他們發憤。
NIV Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.
11:12 和合本 若他們的過失，為天下的富足，他們的缺乏，為外邦人的富足；何況他們的豐滿呢？
NIV But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
11:13 和合本 我對你們外邦人說這話；因我是外邦人的使徒，所以敬重（原文作榮耀）我的職分，
NIV I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry
11:14 和合本 或者可以激動我骨肉之親發憤，好救他們一些人。
NIV in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
11:15 和合本 若他們被丟棄，天下就得與神和好；他們被收納，豈不是死而復生嗎？
NIV For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
11:16 和合本 所獻的新麵若是聖潔，全團也就聖潔了；樹根若是聖潔，樹枝也就聖潔了。
NIV If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
11:17 和合本 若有幾根枝子被折下來，你這野橄欖得接在其中，一同得著橄欖根的肥汁，
NIV If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
11:18 和合本 你就不可向舊枝子誇口；若是誇口，當知道不是你托著根，乃是根托著你。
NIV do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
11:19 和合本 你若說，那枝子被折下來是特為叫我接上。
NIV You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in."
11:20 和合本 不錯！他們因為不信，所以被折下來；你因為信，所以立得住；你不可自高，反要懼怕。
NIV Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
11:21 和合本 神既不愛惜原來的枝子，也必不愛惜你。
NIV For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
11:22 和合本 可見神的恩慈和嚴厲，向那跌倒的人是嚴厲的，向你是有恩慈的；只要你長久在他的恩慈裡，不然，你也要被砍下來。
NIV Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
11:23 和合本 而且他們若不是長久不信，仍要被接上，因為神能夠把他們從新接上。
NIV And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
11:24 和合本 你是從那天生的野橄欖上砍下來的，尚且逆著性得接在好橄欖上，何況這本樹的枝子，要接在本樹上呢！
NIV After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
11:25 和合本 弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道這奧秘（恐怕你們自以為聰明），就是以色列人有幾分是硬心的，等到外邦人的數目添滿了，
NIV I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
11:26 和合本 於是以色列全家都要得救。如經上所記：必有一位救主從錫安出來，要消除雅各家的一切罪惡；
NIV and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
11:27 和合本 又說：我除去他們罪的時候，這就是我與他們所立的約。
NIV And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
11:28 和合本 就著福音說，他們為你們的緣故是仇敵；就著揀選說，他們為列祖的緣故是蒙愛的。
NIV As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
11:29 和合本 因為神的恩賜和選召是沒有後悔的。
NIV for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.
11:30 和合本 你們從前不順服神，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐恤。
NIV Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
11:31 和合本 這樣，他們也是不順服，叫他們因著施給你們的憐恤，現在也就蒙憐恤。
NIV so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you.
11:32 和合本 因為神將眾人都圈在不順服之中，特意要憐恤眾人。
NIV For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
11:33 和合本 深哉，神豐富的智慧和知識！他的判斷何其難測！他的蹤跡何其難尋！
NIV Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
11:34 和合本 誰知道主的心？誰作過他的謀士呢？
NIV "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
11:35 和合本 誰是先給了他，使他後來償還呢？
NIV "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?"
11:36 和合本 因為萬有都是本於他，倚靠他，歸於他。願榮耀歸給他，直到永遠。阿們！
NIV For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

章節 版本 經文
12:1 和合本 所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。
NIV Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
12:2 和合本 不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
NIV Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
12:3 和合本 我憑著所賜我的恩對你們各人說：不要看自己過於所當看的，要照著神所分給各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。
NIV For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
12:4 和合本 正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體，肢體也不都是一樣的用處。
NIV For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
12:5 和合本 我們這許多人，在基督裡成為一身，互相聯絡作肢體，也是如此。
NIV so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
12:6 和合本 按我們所得的恩賜，各有不同。或說預言，就當照著信心的程度說預言，
NIV We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;
12:7 和合本 或作執事，就當專一執事；或作教導的，就當專一教導；
NIV if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;
12:8 和合本 或作勸化的，就當專一勸化；施捨的，就當誠實；治理的，就當殷勤；憐憫人的，就當甘心。
NIV if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
12:9 和合本 愛人不可虛假；惡要厭惡，善要親近。
NIV Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
12:10 和合本 愛弟兄，要彼此親熱；恭敬人，要彼此推讓。
NIV Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
12:11 和合本 殷勤不可懶惰。要心裡火熱，常常服事主。
NIV Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12:12 和合本 在指望中要喜樂，在患難中要忍耐，禱告要恆切。
NIV Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
12:13 和合本 聖徒缺乏要幫補；客要一味的款待。
NIV Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
12:14 和合本 逼迫你們的，要給他們祝福；只要祝福，不可咒詛。
NIV Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
12:15 和合本 與喜樂的人要同樂；與哀哭的人要同哭。
NIV Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
12:16 和合本 要彼此同心；不要志氣高大，倒要俯就卑微的人（人：或作事）；不要自以為聰明。
NIV Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
12:17 和合本 不要以惡報惡；眾人以為美的事要留心去做。
NIV Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
12:18 和合本 若是能行，總要盡力與眾人和睦。
NIV If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
12:19 和合本 親愛的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，寧可讓步，聽憑主怒（或作：讓人發怒）；因為經上記著：「主說：『伸冤在我；我必報應。』」
NIV Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
12:20 和合本 所以，「你的仇敵若餓了，就給他吃，若渴了，就給他喝；因為你這樣行就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。」
NIV On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
12:21 和合本 你不可為惡所勝，反要以善勝惡。
NIV Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans Chapter 13
章節 版本 經文
13:1 和合本 在上有權柄的，人人當順服他，因為沒有權柄不是出於神的。凡掌權的都是神所命的。
NIV Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
13:2 和合本 所以，抗拒掌權的就是抗拒神的命；抗拒的必自取刑罰。
NIV Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
13:3 和合本 作官的原不是叫行善的懼怕，乃是叫作惡的懼怕。你願意不懼怕掌權的嗎？你只要行善，就可得他的稱讚；
NIV For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
13:4 和合本 因為他是神的用人，是與你有益的。你若作惡，卻當懼怕；因為他不是空空的佩劍，他是神的用人，是伸冤的，刑罰那作惡的。
NIV For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
13:5 和合本 所以你們必須順服，不但是因為刑罰，也是因為良心。
NIV Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
13:6 和合本 你們納糧，也為這個緣故；因他們是神的差役，常常特管這事。
NIV This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
13:7 和合本 凡人所當得的，就給他。當得糧的，給他納糧；當得稅的，給他上稅；當懼怕的，懼怕他；當恭敬的，恭敬他。
NIV Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
13:8 和合本 凡事都不可虧欠人，惟有彼此相愛要常以為虧欠；因為愛人的，就完全了律法。
NIV Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
13:9 和合本 像那不可姦淫，不可殺人，不可偷盜，不可貪婪，或有別的誡命，都包在愛人如己這一句話之內了。
NIV The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
13:10 和合本 愛是不加害與人的，所以愛就完全了律法。
NIV Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
13:11 和合本 再者，你們曉得現今就是該趁早睡醒的時候；因為我們得救，現今比初信的時候更近了。
NIV And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
13:12 和合本 黑夜已深，白晝將近；我們就當脫去暗昧的行為，帶上光明的兵器。
NIV The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13:13 和合本 行事為人要端正，好像行在白晝。不可荒宴醉酒，不可好色邪蕩，不可爭競嫉妒；
NIV Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
13:14 和合本 總要披戴主耶穌基督，不要為肉體安排，去放縱私慾。
NIV Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

14:1 和合本 信心軟弱的，你們要接納，但不要辯論所疑惑的事。
NIV Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.
14:2 和合本 有人信百物都可吃；但那軟弱的，只吃蔬菜。
NIV One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
14:3 和合本 吃的人不可輕看不吃的人；不吃的人不可論斷吃的人；因為神已經收納他了。
NIV The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
14:4 和合本 你是誰，竟論斷別人的僕人呢？他或站住，或跌倒，自有他的主人在；而且他也必要站住，因為主能使他站住。
NIV Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
14:5 和合本 有人看這日比那日強；有人看日日都是一樣。只是各人心裡要意見堅定。
NIV One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.
14:6 和合本 守日的人是為主守的；吃的人是為主吃的，因他感謝神；不吃的人是為主不吃的，也感謝神。
NIV Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
14:7 和合本 我們沒有一個人為自己活，也沒有一個人為自己死。
NIV For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.
14:8 和合本 我們若活著，是為主而活；若死了，是為主而死。所以，我們或活或死總是主的人。
NIV If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
14:9 和合本 因此基督死了又活了，為要作死人並活人的主。
NIV For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
14:10 和合本 你這個人，為什麼論斷弟兄呢？又為什麼輕看弟兄呢？因我們都要站在神的臺前。
NIV You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
14:11 和合本 經上寫著：主說：我憑著我的永生起誓：萬膝必向我跪拜；萬口必向我承認。
NIV It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.' "
14:12 和合本 這樣看來，我們各人必要將自己的事在神面前說明。
NIV So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
14:13 和合本 所以，我們不可再彼此論斷，寧可定意誰也不給弟兄放下絆腳跌人之物。
NIV Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
14:14 和合本 我憑著主耶穌確知深信，凡物本來沒有不潔淨的；惟獨人以為不潔淨的，在他就不潔淨了。
NIV I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
14:15 和合本 你若因食物叫弟兄憂愁，就不是按著愛人的道理行。基督已經替他死，你不可因你的食物叫他敗壞。
NIV If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.
14:16 和合本 不可叫你的善被人毀謗；
NIV Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.
14:17 和合本 因為神的國不在乎吃喝，只在乎公義、和平，並聖靈中的喜樂。
NIV For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
14:18 和合本 在這幾樣上服事基督的，就為神所喜悅，又為人所稱許。
NIV because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
14:19 和合本 所以，我們務要追求和睦的事與彼此建立德行的事。
NIV Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
14:20 和合本 不可因食物毀壞神的工程。凡物固然潔淨，但有人因食物叫人跌倒，就是他的罪了。
NIV Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
14:21 和合本 無論是吃肉，是喝酒，是什麼別的事，叫弟兄跌倒，一概不做才好。
NIV It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
14:22 和合本 你有信心，就當在神面前守著。人在自己以為可行的事上能不自責，就有福了。
NIV So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
14:23 和合本 若有疑心而吃的，就必有罪，因為他吃不是出於信心。凡不出於信心的都是罪。
NIV But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

15:2 和合本 我們各人務要叫鄰舍喜悅，使他得益處，建立德行。

15:4 和合本 從前所寫的聖經都是為教訓我們寫的，叫我們因聖經所生的忍耐和安慰可以得著盼望。

15:5 和合本 但願賜忍耐安慰的神叫你們彼此同心，效法基督耶穌，
NIV May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

NIV For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed
15:9 和合本 並叫外邦人因他的憐憫榮耀神。如經上所記：因此，我要在外邦中稱讚你，歌頌你的名；
NIV and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name."
15:10 和合本 又說：你們外邦人當與主的百姓一同歡樂；

15:13 和合本 但願使人有盼望的神，因信將諸般的喜樂、平安充滿你們的心，使你們藉著聖靈的能力大有盼望。
NIV May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
15:14 和合本 弟兄們，我自己也深信你們是滿有良善，充足了諸般的知識，也能彼此勸戒。
NIV I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another.
15:15 和合本 但我稍微放膽寫信給你們，是要提醒你們的記性，特因神所給我的恩典，
NIV Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me
15:16 和合本 使我為外邦人作基督耶穌的僕役，作神福音的祭司，叫所獻上的外邦人，因著聖靈成為聖潔，可蒙悅納。
NIV to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
15:17 和合本 所以論到神的事，我在基督耶穌裡有可誇的。
NIV Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
15:18 和合本 除了基督藉我做的那些事，我什麼都不敢提，只提他藉我言語作為，用神蹟奇事的能力，並聖靈的能力，使外邦人順服；
NIV I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done-
15:19 和合本 甚至我從耶路撒冷，直轉到以利哩古，到處傳了基督的福音。
NIV by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
15:20 和合本 我立了志向，不在基督的名被稱過的地方傳福音，免得建造在別人的根基上。
NIV It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.
15:21 和合本 就如經上所記：未曾聞知他信息的，將要看見；未曾聽過的，將要明白。
NIV Rather, as it is written: "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand."
15:22 和合本 我因多次被攔阻，總不得到你們那裡去。
NIV This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
15:23 和合本 但如今，在這裡再沒有可傳的地方，而且這好幾年，我切心想望到士班雅去的時候，可以到你們那裡，
NIV But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,
15:24 和合本 盼望從你們那裡經過，得見你們，先與你們彼此交往，心裡稍微滿足，然後蒙你們送行。

15:25 和合本 但現在，我往耶路撒冷去供給聖徒。
NIV Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the Lord's people there.
15:26 和合本 因為馬其頓和亞該亞人樂意湊出捐項給耶路撒冷聖徒中的窮人。
NIV For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord's people in Jerusalem.
15:27 和合本 這固然是他們樂意的，其實也算是所欠的債；因外邦人既然在他們屬靈的好處上有分，就當把養身之物供給他們。
NIV They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
15:28 和合本 等我辦完了這事，把這善果向他們交付明白，我就要路過你們那裡，往士班雅去。

NIV Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord's people there,
15:32 和合本 並叫我順著神的旨意，歡歡喜喜的到你們那裡，與你們同得安息。
NIV so that I may come to you with joy, by God's will, and in your company be refreshed.
15:33 和合本 願賜平安的神常和你們眾人同在。阿們！
NIV The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
