靠律法稱義的人從恩典中墜落了 - 加拉太書讀經隨筆 第5章

加拉太書第五章第4-10節，保羅說一個人若要靠律法稱義，就是與基督隔絕，從恩典中墜落了，因為我們應該通過聖靈因信稱義。在基督耶穌裏，遵行律法與否全無功效，惟獨來自於基督大愛的信心才有功效。保羅說加拉太的弟兄們在信心裏走的很好，是誰幹擾了弟兄們呢？導致弟兄們偏離了真理呢。幹擾弟兄們的就如同一點兒發酵粉就能使整塊麵發起來，他們無論是誰，都要受到審判，保羅說他相信弟兄們必不懷著走歧路的心。

加5:4 你們這要靠律法稱義的、是與基督隔絕、從恩典中墜落了。
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
加5:5 我們靠著聖靈、憑著信心、等候所盼望的義。
For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
加5:6 原來在基督耶穌裏、受割禮不受割禮、全無功效．惟獨使人生發仁愛的信心、才有功效。
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
加5:7 你們向來跑得好．有誰攔阻你們、叫你們不順從真理呢。
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
加5:8 這樣的勸導、不是出於那召你們的。
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
加5:9 一點麵酵能使全團都發起來。
A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
加5:10 我在主裏很信你們必不懷別樣的心．但攪擾你們的、無論是誰、必擔當他的罪名。
I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
