以信為本的人和亞伯拉罕一同得福 - 加拉太書讀經隨筆 第3章

加拉太書第三章第1-9節，保羅對加拉太人說耶穌基督已經在我們眼前被釘上了十字架，又是誰迷惑了弟兄姊妹們讓大家遠離福音呢？要知道我們是因為聽信福音而受了聖靈，而不是因為遵行律法。因此，既然我們以聽信福音開始，就讓我們始終持守在福音裏，而不是轉而去服從肉體或者說律法，以行律法為本的都是被咒詛的。因為神要叫人因信稱義，所以在舊約聖經裏亞伯拉罕信神就算他為義，並預見了神將要外邦人因信稱義，就預先傳福音給亞伯拉罕說萬邦必因他得福。可見，那以信為本的人都會和有信心的亞伯拉罕一同得福，並且成為亞伯拉罕的子孫。

 

加3:1 無知的加拉太人哪、耶穌基督釘十字架、已經活畫在你們眼前、誰又迷惑了你們呢。

Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified?

加3:2 我隻要問你們這一件、你們受了聖靈、是因行律法呢、是因聽信福音呢。

I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

加3:3 你們既靠聖靈入門、如今還靠肉身成全麽．你們是這樣的無知麽。

Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

加3:4 你們受苦如此之多、都是徒然的麽．難道果真是徒然的麽。

Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?

加3:5 那賜給你們聖靈、又在你們中間行異能的、是因你們行律法呢、是因你們聽信福音呢。

He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

加3:6 正如『亞伯拉罕信　神這就算為他的義。』

Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."

加3:7 所以你們要知道那以信為本的人、就是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham.

加3:8 並且聖經既然預先看明、　神要叫外邦人因信稱義、就早已傳福音給亞伯拉罕、說、『萬國都必因你得福。』

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed."

加3:9 可見那以信為本的人、和有信心的亞伯拉罕一同得福。

So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
