Sonship in Christ
1我說那承受產業的,雖然是全業的主人,但為孩童的時候,卻與奴僕毫無分別;2乃在師傅和管家的手下,直等他父親豫定的時候來到。3我們為孩童的時候,受管於世俗小學之下,也是如此。4及至時候滿足,神就差遣他的兒子,為女子所生,且生在律法以下,5要把律法以下的人贖出來,叫我們得著兒子的名分。6你們既為兒子,神就差他兒子的靈,進入你們原文作我們的心,呼叫阿爸,父。7可見,從此以後,你不是奴僕,乃是兒子了;既是兒子,就靠著神為後嗣。
1Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave, although he is owner of everything, 2but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father. 3So we too, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elementary principles of the world. 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters. 6Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! Father!” 7Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
8但從前你們不認識神的時候,是給那些本來不是神的作奴僕。9現在你們既然認識神,更可說是被神所認識的,怎麼還要歸回那懦弱無用的小學,情願再給他作奴僕呢。10你們謹守日子,月分,節期,年分。11我為你們害怕,惟恐我在你們身上是枉費了工夫。
8However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are not gods. 9But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles, to which you want to be enslaved all over again? 10You meticulously observe days and months and seasons and years. 11I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.
12弟兄們,我勸你們要像我一樣,因為我也像你們一樣;你們一點沒有虧負我。13你們知道我頭一次傳福音給你們,是因為身體有疾病。14你們為我身體的緣故受試煉,沒有輕看我,也沒有厭棄我;反倒接待我,如同神的使者,如同基督耶穌。15你們當日所誇的福氣在那裏呢;那時你們若能行,就是把自己的眼睛剜出來給我,也都情願;這是我可以給你們作見證的。16如今我將真理告訴你們,就成了你們的仇敵麼。17那些人熱心待你們,卻不是好意,是要離間原文作把你們關在外面你們,叫你們熱心待他們。18在善事上,常用熱心待人,原是好的,卻不單我與你們同在的時候,纔這樣。19我小子阿,我為你們再受生產之苦,直等到基督成形在你們心裏。20我巴不得現今在你們那裏,改換口氣,因我為你們心裏作難。
12I beg of you, brothers and sisters, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong; 13but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time; 14and you did not despise that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition, nor express contempt, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself. 15Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I testify about you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17They eagerly seek you, not in a commendable way, but they want to shut you out so that you will seek them. 18But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable way, and not only when I am present with you. 19My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you— 20but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone of voice, for I am at a loss about you!
Slave and Free
21你們這願意在律法以下的人,請告訴我,你們豈沒有聽見律法麼。22因為律法上記著,亞伯拉罕有兩個兒子,一個是使女生的,一個是自主之婦人生的。23然而那使女所生的,是按著血氣生的;那自主之婦人所生的,是憑著應許生的。24這都是比方;那兩個婦人,就是兩約;一約是出於西乃山,生子為奴,乃是夏甲。25這夏甲二字是指著亞拉伯的西乃山,與現在的耶路撒冷同類;因耶路撒冷和他的兒女都是為奴的。26但那在上的耶路撒冷是自主的,他是我們的母。27因為經上記著,不懷孕不生養的,你要歡樂;未曾經過產難的,你要高聲歡呼,因為沒有丈夫的,比有丈夫的兒女更多。28弟兄們,我們是憑著應許作兒女,如同以撒一樣。29當時那按著血氣生的,逼迫了那按著聖靈生的,現在也是這樣。30然而經上是怎麼說的呢;是說,把使女和他兒子趕出去;因為使女的兒子,不可與自主婦人的兒子一同承受產業。31弟兄們,這樣看來,我們不是使女的兒女,乃是自主婦人的兒女了。
21Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the Law? 22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman. 23But the son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. 24This is speaking allegorically, for these women are two covenants: one coming from Mount Sinai giving birth to children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar. 25Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is enslaved with her children. 26But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother. 27For it is written:
“REJOICE, INFERTILE ONE, YOU WHO DO NOT GIVE BIRTH;
BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR;
FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE ONE ARE MORE NUMEROUS
THAN THOSE OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND.” 28And you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29But as at that time the son who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit, so it is even now. 30But what does the Scripture say?
“DRIVE OUT THE SLAVE WOMAN AND HER SON,
FOR THE SON OF THE SLAVE WOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN.” 31So then, brothers and sisters, we are not children of a slave woman, but of the free woman.
“REJOICE, INFERTILE ONE, YOU WHO DO NOT GIVE BIRTH;
BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR;
FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE ONE ARE MORE NUMEROUS
THAN THOSE OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND.” 28And you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29But as at that time the son who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit, so it is even now. 30But what does the Scripture say?
“DRIVE OUT THE SLAVE WOMAN AND HER SON,
FOR THE SON OF THE SLAVE WOMAN SHALL NOT BE AN HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREE WOMAN.” 31So then, brothers and sisters, we are not children of a slave woman, but of the free woman.
