加拉太书3:15~22
律/法和应许
15弟兄们,我且照着人的常话说:虽然是人的文约,若已经立定了,就没有能废弃或加增的。
16所应许的原是向亚伯拉罕和他子孙说的。 SHEN 并不是说「众子孙」,指着许多人,乃是说「你那一个子孙」,指着一个人,就是 JI DU 。
17我是这么说, SHEN 预先所立的约,不能被那四百三十年以后的律/法废掉,叫应许归于虚空。
18因为承受产业,若本乎律/法,就不本乎应许;但 SHEN 是凭着应许把产业赐给亚伯拉罕。
19这样说来,律/法是为什么有的呢?原是为过犯添上的,等候那蒙应许的子孙来到,并且是藉天使经中保之手设立的。
20但中保本不是为一面作的; SHEN 却是一位。
奴仆和儿子
21这样,律/法是与 SHEN 的应许反对吗?断乎不是!若曾传一个能叫人得生的律/法,义就诚然本乎律/法了。
22但 Bible 把众人都圈在罪里,使所应许的福因信 YS JI DU ,归给那信的人。
The Law and the Promise
15Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.
16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
17What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
22But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
