因为这些人不是服事我们的主基督,而是服事自己的肚腹,他们以甜言蜜语,迷惑那些诚实人的心灵。
19 For while your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I want you to be wise as to what is good, and simple as to what is evil;
你们的服从已传到各处,所以我为你们十分庆幸;但我切愿你们对善事要明智,对于恶事要纯洁无瑕。

25 11 Now to him who can strengthen you, according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages 12
愿光荣归于天主,他有能力坚固你们,使你们合乎我所传布的福音,和所宣讲的耶稣基督,并合乎所启示的奥秘──这奥秘从永远以来,就是秘而不宣的,
26 but now manifested through the prophetic writings and, according to the command of the eternal God, made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith,
现今却彰显了,且按照永恒天主的命令,借着先知的经书,晓谕万民,使他们服从信德。
27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever. Amen.)
愿光荣赖耶稣基督归于唯一全智的天主,至于无穷之世。阿们。
Footnotes(注解)
1 [1-23] Some authorities regard these verses as a later addition to the letter, but in general the evidence favors the view that they were included in the original. Paul endeavors through the long list of greetings (Romans 16:3-16, 21-23) to establish strong personal contact with congregations that he has not personally encountered before. The combination of Jewish and Gentile names dramatically attests the unity in the gospel that transcends previous barriers of nationality, religious ceremony, or racial status.
2 [1] Minister: in Greek, diakonos; see the note on Philippians 1:1.
3 [3] Prisca and Aquila: presumably the couple mentioned at Acts 18:2; 1 Cor 16:19; 2 Tim 4:19.
4 [5] The church at their house: i.e., that meets there. Such local assemblies (cf 1 Cor 16:19; Col 4:15; Philemon 1:2) might consist of only one or two dozen Christians each. It is understandable, therefore, that such smaller groups might experience difficulty in relating to one another on certain issues. Firstfruits: cf Romans 8:23; 11:16; 1 Cor 16:15.
5 [7] The name Junia is a woman's name. One ancient Greek manuscript and a number of ancient versions read the name "Julia." Most editors have interpreted it as a man's name, Junias.
6 [13] This Rufus cannot be identified to any degree of certainty with the Rufus of Mark 15:21.
7 [17-18] Paul displays genuine concern for the congregations in Rome by warning them against self-seeking teachers. It would be a great loss, he intimates, if their obedience, which is known to all (cf Romans 1:8), would be diluted.
8 [20] This verse contains the only mention of Satan in Romans.
9 [23] This Erastus is not necessarily to be identified with the Erastus of Acts 19:22 or of 2 Tim 4:20.
10 [24] Some manuscripts add, similarly to Romans 16:20, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
11 [25-27] This doxology is assigned variously to the end of Romans 14; 15; 16 in the manuscript tradition. Some manuscripts omit it entirely. Whether written by Paul or not, it forms an admirable conclusion to the letter at this point.
12 [25] Paul's gospel reveals the mystery kept secret for long ages: justification and salvation through faith, with all the implications for Jews and Gentiles that Paul has developed in the letter.
