O foolish Galatians； who hath bewitched you； that ye should not obey the truth； before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth； crucified among you？
3：2我只要问你们这一件，你们受了圣灵，是因行律法呢，是因听信福音呢。
This only would I learn of you； Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law； or by the hearing of faith？
3：3你们既靠圣灵入门，如今还靠肉身成全吗。你们是这样的无知吗。
Are ye so foolish？ having begun in the Spirit； are ye now made perfect by the flesh？
3：4你们受苦如此之多，都是徒然的吗。难道果真是徒然的吗。
Have ye suffered so many things in vain？ if it be yet in vain。
3：5那赐给你们圣灵，又在你们中间行异能的，是因你们行律法呢，是因你们听信福音呢。
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit； and worketh miracles among you； doeth he it by the works of the law； or by the hearing of faith？
3：6正如，亚伯拉罕信神，这就算为他的义。
Even as Abraham believed God； and it was accounted to him for righteousness。
3：7所以你们要知道那以信为本的人，就是亚伯拉罕的子孙。
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith； the same are the children of Abraham。
3：8并且圣经既然豫先看明，神要叫外邦人因信称义，就早已传福音给亚伯拉罕，说，万国都必因你得福。
And the scripture； foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith； preached before the gospel unto Abraham； saying； In thee shall all nations be blessed。
3：9可见那以信为本的人，和有信心的亚伯拉罕一同得福。
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham。
3：10凡以行律法为本的，都是被咒诅的。因为经上记着，凡不常照律法书上所记一切之事去行的，就被咒诅。
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse： for it is written； Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them。
3：11没有一个人靠着律法在神面前称义，这是明显的。因为经上说，义人必因信得生。
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God； it is evident： for； The just shall live by faith。
3：12律法原不本乎信，只说，行这些事的，就必因此活着。
And the law is not of faith： but； The man that doeth them shall live in them。
3：13基督既为我们受了咒诅，（受原文作成）就赎出我们脱离律法的咒诅。因为经上记着，凡挂在木头上都是被咒诅的。
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law； being made a curse for us： for it is written； Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree：
3：14这便叫亚伯拉罕的福，因基督耶稣可以临到外邦人，使我们因信得着所应许的圣灵。
That the blessing of Abraham might e on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ； that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith。
3：15弟兄们，我且照着人的常话说，虽然是人的文约，若已经立定了，就没有能废弃或加增的。
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。
3：16所应许的原是向亚伯拉罕和他子孙说的。神并不是说众子孙，指着许多人，乃是说你那一个子孙，指着一个人，就是基督。
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。
3：17我是这吗说，神豫先所立的约，不能被那四百三十年以后的律法废掉，叫应许归于虚空。
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。
3：18因为承受产业，若本乎律法，就不本乎应许。但神是凭着应许，把产业赐给亚伯拉罕。
For if the inheritance be of the law； it is no more of promise： but God gave it to Abraham by promise。
3：19这样说来，律法是为什么有的呢。原是为过犯添上的，等候那蒙应许的子孙来到。并且是藉天使经中保之手设立的。
Wherefore then serveth the law？ It was added because of transgressions； till the seed should e to whom the promise was made； and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator。
3：20但中保本不是为一面作的。神既是一位。
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one； but God is one。
3：21这样，律法是与神的应许反对吗。断乎不是。若曾传一个能叫人得生命的律法，义就诚然本乎律法了。
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。
3：22但圣经把众人都圈在罪里，使所应许的福因信耶稣基督，归给那信的人。
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin； that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe。
3：23但这因信得救的理，还未来以先，我们被看守在律法之下，直圈到那将来的真道显明出来。
But before faith came； we were kept under the law； shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed。
3：24这样律法是我们训蒙的师傅，引我们到基督那里，使我们因信称义。
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ； that we might be justified by faith。
3：25但这因信得救的理，既然来到，我们从此就不在师傅的手下了。
But after that faith is e； we are no longer under a schoolmaster。
3：26所以你们因信基督耶稣，都是神的儿子。
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus。
3：27你们受洗归入基督的，都是披戴基督了。
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ。
3：28并不分犹太人，希腊人，自主的，为奴的，或男或女。因为你们在基督耶稣里都成为一了。
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。
3：29你们既属乎基督，就是亚伯拉罕的后裔，是照着应许承受产业的了。
And if ye be Christ's； then are ye Abraham's seed； and heirs according to the promise。
新约 加拉太书（Galatians） 第 4 章 （ 本篇共有 6 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
4：1我说那承受产业的，虽然是全业的主人，但为孩童的时候，却与奴仆毫无分别。
Now I say； That the heir； as long as he is a child； differeth nothing from a servant； though he be lord of all；
4：2乃在师傅和管家的手下，直等他父亲豫定的时候来到。
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father。
4：3我们为孩童的时候，受管于世俗小学之下，也是如此。
Even so we； when we were children； were in bondage under the elements of the world：
4：4及至时候满足，神就差遣他的儿子，为女人所生，且生在律法以下，
But when the fulness of the time was e； God sent forth his Son； made of a woman； made under the law；
4：5要把律法以下的人赎出来，叫我们得着儿子的名分。
To redeem them that were under the law； that we might receive the adoption of sons。
4：6你们既为儿子，神就差他儿子的灵，进入你们（原文作我们）的心，呼叫阿爸，父。
And because ye are sons； God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts； crying； Abba； Father。
4：7可见，从此以后，你不是奴仆，乃是儿子了。既是儿子，就靠着神为后嗣。
Wherefore thou art no more a servant； but a son； and if a son； then an heir of God through Christ。
4：8但从前你们不认识神的时候，是给那些本来不是神的作奴仆。
Howbeit then； when ye knew not God； ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods。
4：9现在你们既然认识神，更可说是被神所认识的，怎吗还要归回那懦弱无用的小学，情愿再给他作奴仆呢。
But now； after that ye have known God； or rather are known of God； how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements； whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage？
4：10你们谨守日子，月分，节期，年分。
Ye observe days； and months； and times； and years。
4：11我为你们害怕。惟恐我在你们身上是枉费了工夫。
I am afraid of you； lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain。
4：12弟兄们，我劝你们要向我一样，因为我也像你们一样。你们一点没有亏负我。
Brethren； I beseech you； be as I am； for I am as ye are： ye have not injured me at all。
4：13你们知道我头一次传福音给你们，是因为身体有疾病。
Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first。
4：14你们为我身体的缘故受试炼，没有轻看我，也没有厌弃我。反倒接待我，如同神的使者，如同基督耶稣。
And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not； nor rejected； but received me as an angel of God； even as Christ Jesus。
4：15你们当日所夸的福气在那里呢。那时你们若能行，就是把自己的眼睛剜出来给我，也都情愿。这是我可以给你们作见证的。
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of？ for I bear you record； that； if it had been possible； ye would have plucked out your own eyes； and have given them to me。
4：16如今我将真理告诉你们，就成了你们的仇敌吗。
Am I therefore bee your enemy； because I tell you the truth？
4：17那些人热心待你们，却不是好意，是要离间（原文作把你们关在外面）你们，叫你们热心待他们。
They zealously affect you； but not well； yea； they would exclude you； that ye might affect them。
4：18在善事上，常用热心待人，原是好的，却不单我与你们同在的时候才这样。
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing； and not only when I am present with you。
4：19我小子阿，我为你们再受生产之苦，直等到基督成形在你们心里。
My little children； of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you；
4：20我巴不得现今在你们那里，改换口气，因我为你们，心里作难。
I desire to be present with you now； and to change my voice； for I stand in doubt of you。
4：21你们这愿意在律法以下的人，请告诉我，你们岂没有听见律法吗。
Tell me； ye that desire to be under the law； do ye not hear the law？
4：22因为律法上记着，亚伯拉罕有两个儿子，一个是使女生的，一个是自主之妇人生的。
For it is written； that Abraham had two sons； the one by a bondmaid； the other by a freewoman。
4：23然而那使女所生的，是按着血气生的。那自主之妇人生的，是凭着应许生的。
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the fles
