（原来在神面前，不是听律法的为义，乃是行律法的称义。
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
没有律法的外邦人，若顺着本性行律法上的事，他们虽然没有律法，自己就是自己的律法。
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
这是显出律法的功用刻在他们心里，他们是非之心同作见证，并且他们的思念互相较量，或以为是，或以为非
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
就在神藉耶稣基督审判人隐秘事的日子，照着我的福音所言。
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
你称为犹太人，又倚靠律法，且指着神夸口。
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
既从律法中受了教训，就晓得神的旨意，也能分别是非（或作也喜爱那美好的事）
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
又深信自己是给瞎子领路的，是黑暗中人的光，
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
是蠢笨人的师傅，是小孩子的先生，在律法上有知识和真理的模范。
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
你既是教导别人，还不教导自己吗。你讲说人不可偷窃，自己还偷窃吗。
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
你说人不可奸淫，自己还奸淫吗。你厌恶偶像，自己还偷窃庙中之物吗。
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
