加拉太书第五章第4-10节,保罗说一个人若要靠律法称义,就是与基督隔绝,从恩典中坠落了,因为我们应该通过圣灵因信称义。在基督耶稣里,遵行律法与否全无功效,惟独来自于基督大爱的信心才有功效。保罗说加拉太的弟兄们在信心里走的很好,是谁干扰了弟兄们呢?导致弟兄们偏离了真理呢。干扰弟兄们的就如同一点儿发酵粉就能使整块面发起来,他们无论是谁,都要受到审判,保罗说他相信弟兄们必不怀着走歧路的心。
加5:4 你们这要靠律法称义的、是与基督隔绝、从恩典中坠落了。
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
加5:5 我们靠着圣灵、凭着信心、等候所盼望的义。
For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
加5:6 原来在基督耶稣里、受割礼不受割礼、全无功效.惟独使人生发仁爱的信心、才有功效。
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
加5:7 你们向来跑得好.有谁拦阻你们、叫你们不顺从真理呢。
You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
加5:8 这样的劝导、不是出于那召你们的。
This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
加5:9 一点面酵能使全团都发起来。
A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
加5:10 我在主里很信你们必不怀别样的心.但搅扰你们的、无论是谁、必担当他的罪名。
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.
