| 基督徒的自由 |
| 5:1 | 基督釋放了我們,叫我們得以自由。所以要站立得穩,不要再被奴僕的軛挾制。 [NASB] It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. |
| 5:2 | 我保羅告訴你們,若受割禮,基督就與你們無益了。 [NASB] Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. |
| 5:3 | 我再指著凡受割禮的人確實的說,他是欠著行全律法的債。 [NASB] And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. |
| 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。 [NASB] You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. |
| 5:5 | 我們靠著聖靈,憑著信心,等候所盼望的義。 [NASB] For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. |
| 5:6 | 原來在基督耶穌�堙A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。 [NASB] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. |
| 5:7 | 你們向來跑得好,有誰攔阻你們,叫你們不順從真理呢? [NASB] You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? |
| 5:8 | 這樣的勸導不是出於那召你們的。 [NASB] This persuasion {did} not {come} from Him who calls you. |
| 5:9 | 一點麵酵能使全團都發起來。 [NASB] A little leaven leavens the whole lump {of dough.} |
| 5:10 | 我在主�堳靮H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。 [NASB] I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. |
| 5:11 | 弟兄們,我若仍舊傳割禮,為甚麼還受逼迫呢?若是這樣,那十字架討厭的地方就沒有了。 [NASB] But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. |
| 5:12 | 恨不得那攪亂你們的人把自己割絕了。 [NASB] I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. |
| 5:13 | 弟兄們,你們蒙召是要得自由,只是不可將你們的自由當作放縱情慾的機會,總要用愛心互相服事。 [NASB] For you were called to freedom, brethren; only {do} not {turn} your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. |
| 5:14 | 因為全律法都包在「愛人如己」這一句話之內了。 [NASB] For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the {statement,} "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." |
| 5:15 | 你們要謹慎,若相咬相吞,只怕要彼此消滅了。 [NASB] But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. |
| 順著聖靈而行 |
| 5:16 | 我說,你當順著聖靈而行,就不放縱肉體的情慾了。 [NASB] But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. |
| 5:17 | 因為情慾和聖靈相爭,聖靈和情慾相爭,這兩個是彼此相敵,使你們不能做所願意做的。 [NASB] For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. |
| 5:18 | 但你們若被聖靈引導,就不在律法以下。 [NASB] But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. |
| 5:19 | 情慾的事都是顯而易見的,就如姦淫、污穢、邪蕩、 [NASB] Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, |
| 5:20 | 拜偶像、邪術、仇恨、爭競、忌恨、惱怒、結黨、紛爭、異端、 [NASB] idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, |
| 5:21 | 嫉妒(有古卷加:兇殺二字)、醉酒、荒宴等類。我從前告訴你們,現在又告訴你們,行這樣事的人必不能承受神的國。 [NASB] envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. |
| 5:22 | 聖靈所結的果子,就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、 [NASB] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
| 5:23 | 溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止。 [NASB] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. |
| 5:24 | 凡屬基督耶穌的人,是已經把肉體連肉體的邪情私慾同釘在十字架上了。 [NASB] Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. |
| 5:25 | 我們若是靠聖靈得生,就當靠聖靈行事。 [NASB] If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. |
| 5:26 | 不要貪圖虛名,彼此惹氣,互相嫉妒。 [NASB] Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. |
