加拉太书 3:15-29
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
律法与应许
15 弟兄姊妹，我举个日常生活中的例子。世人的合约一经双方签订之后，就不能作废，也不能加添。 16 上帝曾向亚伯拉罕和他的后裔赐下应许，不过这里没有说“后裔们”——指许多人，而是说“你的后裔”——指一个人，就是基督。 17 我的意思是：四百三十年后颁布的律法不会废除上帝先前立下的约，以致应许落空。 18 倘若我们是靠守律法去承受产业，我们就不是倚靠上帝的应许。但上帝是凭应许把产业赐给了亚伯拉罕。
19 那么，为什么会有律法呢？律法是为了使人知罪而颁布的，等那位承受应许的后裔来到后，律法的任务就完成了。律法是通过天使交给一位中间人颁布的。 20 中间人代表双方，但上帝则单方面赐下应许。
21 这样看来，上帝的律法和上帝的应许是否互相矛盾呢？当然不是！如果赐下的律法能带给人生命，人就可以靠律法成为义人了。 22 但圣经说万物都在罪的权势下，为要使那些相信的人因为相信耶稣基督而得到应许[a]。
23 信耶稣的时代[b]还没有来临以前，律法暂时监管我们。等到信耶稣之道显明出来后，律法就不再监管我们。 24 因此，律法是我们的监护人，负责引领我们归向基督，使我们可以因信而被称为义人。 25 现在信耶稣的时代已经来临，我们不再受律法监管。 26 你们都借着信基督耶稣而成为上帝的儿女， 27 因为你们受洗归入基督就是披戴基督[c]。 28 从此不再分犹太人和希腊人，自由人和奴隶，男人和女人，因为你们都在基督耶稣里合而为一了。 29 你们若属于基督，就是亚伯拉罕的后裔，都是照着上帝的应许承受产业的人。

律法與應許
15 弟兄姊妹，我舉個日常生活中的例子。世人的合約一經雙方簽訂之後，就不能作廢，也不能加添。 16 上帝曾向亞伯拉罕和他的後裔賜下應許，不過這裡沒有說「後裔們」——指許多人，而是說「你的後裔」——指一個人，就是基督。 17 我的意思是：四百三十年後頒佈的律法不會廢除上帝先前立下的約，以致應許落空。 18 倘若我們是靠守律法去承受產業，我們就不是倚靠上帝的應許。但上帝是憑應許把產業賜給了亞伯拉罕。
19 那麼，為什麼會有律法呢？律法是為了使人知罪而頒佈的，等那位承受應許的後裔來到後，律法的任務就完成了。律法是通過天使交給一位中間人頒佈的。 20 中間人代表雙方，但上帝則單方面賜下應許。
21 這樣看來，上帝的律法和上帝的應許是否互相矛盾呢？當然不是！如果賜下的律法能帶給人生命，人就可以靠律法成為義人了。 22 但聖經說萬物都在罪的權勢下，爲要使那些相信的人因爲相信耶稣基督而得到應許[a]。
23 信耶穌的時代[b]還沒有來臨以前，律法暫時監管我們。等到信耶穌之道顯明出來後，律法就不再監管我們。 24 因此，律法是我們的監護人，負責引領我們歸向基督，使我們可以因信而被稱為義人。 25 現在信耶穌的時代已經來臨，我們不再受律法監管。 26 你們都藉著信基督耶穌而成為上帝的兒女， 27 因為你們受洗歸入基督就是披戴基督[c]。 28 從此不再分猶太人和希臘人，自由人和奴隸，男人和女人，因為你們都在基督耶穌裡合而為一了。 29 你們若屬於基督，就是亞伯拉罕的後裔，都是照著上帝的應許承受產業的人。

Galatians 3:15-29
King James Version
15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
