新约--罗马书(Romans)--第 1 章
1:1 耶稣基督的仆人保罗,奉召为使徒,特派传神的福音。
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
1:2 这福音是神从前藉众先知,在圣经上所应许的。
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
1:3 论到他儿子,我主耶稣基督。按肉体说,是从大卫后裔生的。
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
1:4 按圣善的灵说,因从死里复活,以大能显明是神的儿子。
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
1:5 我们从他受了恩惠,并使徒的职分,在万国之中叫人为他的名信服真道。
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
1:6 其中也有你们这蒙召属耶稣基督的人。
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
1:7 我写信给你们在罗马为神所爱,奉召作圣徒的众人。愿恩惠平安,从我们的父神,并主耶稣基督,归与你们。
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:8 第一,我靠着耶稣基督,为你们众人感谢我的神。因你们的信德传遍了天下。
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
1:9 我在他儿子福音上,用心灵所事奉的神,可以见证我怎样不住的题到你们,
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
1:10 在祷告之间,常常恳求,或者照神的旨意,终能得平坦的道路往你们那里去。
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
1:11 因为我切切的想见你们,要把些属灵的恩赐分给你们,使你们可以坚固。
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
1:12 这样我在你们中间,因你与我彼此的信心,就可以同得安慰。
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
1:13 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道,我屡次定意往你们那里去,要在你们中间得些果子,如同在其馀的外邦人中一样。只是到如今仍有阻隔。
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
1:14 无论是希腊人,化外人,聪明人,愚拙人,我都欠他们的债。
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
1:15 所以情愿尽我的力量,将福音也传给你们在罗马的人。
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
1:16 我不以福音为耻。这福音本是神的大能,要救一切相信的,先是犹太人,后是希腊人。
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
1:17 因为神的义,正在这福音上显明出来。这义是本于信以致于信。如经上所记,义人必因信得生。
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
1:18 原来神的忿怒,从天上显明在一切不虔不义的人身上,就是那些行不义阻挡真理的人。
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19 神的事情,人所能知道的,原显明在人心里。因为神已经给他们显明。
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
1:20 自从造天地以来,神的永能和神性是明明可知的,虽是眼不能见,但藉着所造之物,就可以晓得,叫人无可推诿。
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
1:21 因为他们虽然知道神,却不当作神荣耀他,也不感谢他。他们的思念变为虚妄,无知的心就昏暗了。
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
1:22 自称为聪明,反成了愚拙,
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1:23 将不能朽坏之神的荣耀变为偶像,彷佛必朽坏的人,和飞禽走兽昆虫的样式。
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
1:24 所以神任凭他们,逞着心里的情欲行污秽的事,以致彼此玷辱自己的身体。
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1:25 他们将神的真实变为虚谎,去敬拜事奉受造之物,不敬奉那造物的主。主乃是可称颂的,直到永远。阿们。
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
1:26 因此神任凭他们放纵可羞耻的情欲。他们的女人,把顺性的用处,变为逆性的用处。
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 男人也是如此,弃了女人顺性的用处,欲火攻心,彼此贪恋,男和男行可羞耻的事,就在自己身上受这妄为当得的报应。
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1:28 他们既然故意不认识神,神就任凭他们存邪僻的心行那些不合理的事,
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
1:29 装满了各样不义,邪恶,贪婪,恶毒(或作阴毒)。满心是嫉妒,凶杀,争竞,诡诈,毒恨。
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
1:30 又是谗毁的,背后说人的,怨恨神的(或作被神所憎恶的),侮慢人的,狂傲的,自夸的,捏造恶事的,违背父母的,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
1:31 无知的,背约的,无亲情的,不怜悯人的。
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
1:32 他们虽知道神判定,行这样事的人是当死的,然而他们不但自己去行,还喜欢别人去行。
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
