心里面作犹太人的才是真犹太人 — 罗马书读经随笔 第2章

罗马书第二章，保罗针对罗马信徒中犹太人的情况说外表是犹太人的并不是真犹太人，在肉身上做的割礼的也不是真割礼。惟有心里面作犹太人的才是真犹太人，真割礼也是来自心里，是灵里的而不是字面的。遵行了律法的人，他所受的割礼是有益的，而不遵行律法的人，他所受的割礼与没有受割礼的无异。而没有受割礼的人，如果遵行了律法，就与受了割礼的无异。这样没有受割礼的因遵行了律法就可以审判受了割礼但是犯了律法的人。这些受了割礼而犯法的人，自己不遵行律法，还论断别人没有遵行。对于这样的人，保罗说神必照真理审判他。

罗2:1 你这论断人的、无论你是谁、也无可推诿、你在甚么事上论断人、就在甚么事上定自己的罪．因你这论断人的、自己所行却和别人一样。

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

罗2:2 我们知道这样行的人、 神必照真理审判他。

We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

罗2:25 你若是行律法的、割礼固然于你有益．若是犯律法的、你的割礼就算不得割礼。

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

罗2:26 所以那未受割礼的、若遵守律法的条例、他虽然未受割礼、岂不算是有割礼么。

If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

罗2:27 而且那本来未受割礼的、若能全守律法、岂不是要审判你这有仪文和割礼竟犯律法的人么。

Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

罗2:28 因为外面作犹太人的、不是真犹太人、外面肉身的割礼、也不是真割礼．

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

罗2:29 惟有里面作的、才是真犹太人．真割礼也是心里的、在乎灵不在乎仪文．这人的称赞、不是从人来的、乃是从 神来的。

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
