3:21 但如今 神的义在律法以外已经显明出来,有律法和先知为证:
3:21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
3:22 就是 神的义,因信耶稣基督加给一切相信的人,并没有分别;
3:22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
3:23 因为世人都犯了罪,亏缺了 神的荣耀;
3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
3:24 如今却蒙 神的恩典,因基督耶稣的救赎,就白白地称义。
3:24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
3:25 神设立耶稣作挽回祭,是凭着耶稣的血,借着人的信,要显明 神的义;因为他用忍耐的心宽容人先时所犯的罪,
3:25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--
3:26 好在今时显明他的义,使人知道他自己为义,也称信耶稣的人为义。
3:26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
3:27 既是这样,哪里能夸口呢?没有可夸的了。用何法没有的呢?是用立功之法吗?不是,乃用信主之法。
3:27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.
3:28 所以(有古卷作“因为”)我们看定了:人称义是因着信,不在乎遵行律法。
3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.
3:29 难道 神只作犹太人的 神吗?不也是作外邦人的 神吗?是的,也作外邦人的 神。
3:29 Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
3:30 神既是一位,他就要因信称那受割礼的为义,也要因信称那未受割礼的为义。
3:30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
3:31 这样,我们因信废了律法吗?断乎不是!更是坚固律法。
3:31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
