¹ 他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门；那门关闭了。

² 耶和华对我说：这门必须关闭，不可敞开，谁也不可由其中进入；因为耶和华─以色列的神已经由其中进入，所以必须关闭。

³ 至於王，他必按王的位分，坐在其内，在耶和华面前吃饼。他必由这门的廊而入，也必由此而出。

⁴ 他又带我由北门来到殿前。我观看，见耶和华的荣光充满耶和华的殿，我就俯伏在地。

⁵ 耶和华对我说：人子啊，我对你所说耶和华殿中的一切典章法则，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳听，并要留心殿宇和圣地一切出入之处。

⁶ 你要对那悖逆的以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，你们行一切可憎的事，当够了罢！

⁷ 你们把我的食物，就是脂油和血献上的时候，将身心未受割礼的外邦人领进我的圣地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的约，在你们一切可憎的事上，加上这一层。

⁸ 你们也没有看守我的圣物，却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的。

⁹ 主耶和华如此说：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割礼的，都不可入我的圣地。

¹⁰ 当以色列人走迷的时候，有利未人远离我，就是走迷离开我、随从他们的偶像，他们必担当自己的罪孽。

¹¹ 然而他们必在我的圣地当仆役，照管殿门，在殿中供职；必为民宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他们。

¹² 因为这些利未人曾在偶像前伺候这民，成了以色列家罪孽的绊脚石，所以我向他们起誓：他们必担当自己的罪孽。这是主耶和华说的。

¹³ 他们不可亲近我，给我供祭司的职分，也不可挨近我的一件圣物，就是至圣的物；他们却要担当自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的报应。

¹⁴ 然而我要使他们看守殿宇，办理其中的一切事，并做其内一切当做之工。

¹⁵ 以色列人走迷离开我的时候，祭司利未人撒督的子孙仍看守我的圣所。他们必亲近我，事奉我，并且侍立在我面前，将脂油与血献给我。这是主耶和华说的。

¹⁶ 他们必进入我的圣所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。

¹⁷ 他们进内院门必穿细麻衣。在内院门和殿内供职的时候不可穿羊毛衣服。

¹⁸ 他们头上要戴细麻布裹头巾，腰穿细麻布裤子；不可穿使身体出汗的衣服。

¹⁹ 他们出到外院的民那里，当脱下供职的衣服，放在圣屋内，穿上别的衣服，免得因圣衣使民成圣。

²⁰ 不可剃头，也不可容发绺长长，只可剪发。

²¹ 祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒。

²² 不可娶寡妇和被休的妇人为妻，只可娶以色列後裔中的处女，或是祭司遗留的寡妇。

²³ 他们要使我的民知道圣俗的分别，又使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的。

²⁴ 有争讼的事，他们应当站立判断，要按我的典章判断。在我一切的节期必守我的律法、条例，也必以我的安息日为圣日。

²⁵ 他们不可挨近死尸沾染自己，只可为父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。

²⁶ 祭司洁净之後，必再计算七日。

²⁷ 当他进内院，进圣所，在圣所中事奉的日子，要为自己献赎罪祭。这是主耶和华说的。

²⁸ 祭司必有产业，我是他们的产业。不可在以色列中给他们基业；我是他们的基业。

²⁹ 素祭、赎罪祭，和赎愆祭他们都可以吃，以色列中一切永献的物都要归他们。

³⁰ 首先初熟之物和一切所献的供物都要归给祭司。你们也要用初熟的麦子磨面给祭司；这样，福气就必临到你们的家了。

³¹ 无论是鸟是兽，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。

¹ I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

² God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

³ "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."

⁴ But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

⁵ Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

⁶ And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

⁷ What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

⁸ According as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."

⁹ David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.

¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always."

¹¹ I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

¹² Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

¹³ For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

¹⁴ if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

¹⁵ For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

¹⁶ If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree;

¹⁸ don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."

²⁰ True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;

²¹ for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

²² See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

²³ They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I don't desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."

²⁸ Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

³⁰ For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³¹ even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

³² For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

³³ Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴ "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"

³⁵ "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
