Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.
1如此說來，我們的祖宗 亞伯拉罕 憑着肉體得了甚麼呢？
2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
2倘若 亞伯拉罕 是因行為稱義，就有可誇的；只是在上帝面前並無可誇。
3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
3經上說甚麼呢？說：「 亞伯拉罕 信上帝，這就算為他的義。」
4Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
4做工的得工價，不算恩典，乃是該得的；
5But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
5惟有不做工的，只信稱罪人為義的上帝，他的信就算為義。
6As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
6正如 大衛 稱那在行為以外蒙上帝算為義的人是有福的。
7Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
7他 說： 得赦免其過、遮蓋其罪的， 這人是有福的。
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.
8主不算為有罪的， 這人是有福的。
9This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.
9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，
10How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
10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。
11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:
11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；
12And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
12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。
13For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.
13因為 上帝 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。
14For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.
14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。
15For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
15因為律法是惹動忿怒的；哪裏沒有律法，那裏就沒有過犯。
16Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
16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。
17(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.
17亞伯拉罕 所信的，是那叫死人復活、使無變為有的上帝，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。」
18Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.
18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。」
19And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.
19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；
20In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:
20並且仰望上帝的應許，總沒有因不信心裏起疑惑，反倒因信心裏得堅固，將榮耀歸給上帝，
21Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
21且滿心相信上帝所應許的必能做成。
22And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.
22所以，這就算為他的義。
23Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,
23「算為他義」的這句話不是單為他寫的，
24But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,
24也是為我們將來得算為義之人寫的，就是我們這信上帝使我們的主耶穌從死裏復活的人。
25Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
25耶穌被交給人，是為我們的過犯；復活，是為叫我們稱義。
