然則律與上帝之許相反乎、非也、若賜以能致生之律、則義誠由律矣、

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的律法，义就诚然本乎律法了。

这样，律法是与上帝的应许对立吗？绝对不是！如果律法的颁布能使人得生命，义就诚然出于律法了。

这样，律法是与神的应许对立吗？绝对不是！如果律法的颁布能使人得生命，义就诚然出于律法了。

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。

这样，律法和神的应许是对立的吗？绝对不是。如果所赐下的律法能使人得生命，义就真的是出于律法了。

那么，律法和神的各样应许是对立的吗？绝对不是！如果一个能使人得生命的律法被赐下，义就真是本于律法了。

這樣，律法是與神的應許反對嗎？斷乎不是！若曾傳一個能叫人得生的律法，義就誠然本乎律法了。

這樣，律法是與上帝的應許對立嗎？絕對不是！如果律法的頒佈能使人得生命，義就誠然出於律法了。

這樣，律法與應許相反麼？斷乎不是。假使有一個能使人活的律法曾經頒賜下來，稱義就真是由於律法了。

那麼，律法和神的各樣應許是對立的嗎？絕對不是！如果一個能使人得生命的律法被賜下，義就真是本於律法了。

曰、律法與上帝之許相反乎、非也、若所賜之法、能使人生、則恃法可稱義矣、

然則律法與天主之許相反乎、非也、若賜以能致生之律法、則人必由律法可得稱義、

然則律法豈與恩諾相牴牾乎？無是理也。蓋所賜之律法、苟能予人以生命、則吾人所恃以成義者、誠在律法之中矣。

Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

So is the law opposed to God’s promises? Certainly not! What if a law had been given that could give life? Then people could become right with God by obeying the law.

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.

Is the law therefore contrary to God’s promises? Absolutely not! For if the law had been granted with the ability to give life, then righteousness would certainly be on the basis of the law.

Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Far from it! For if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.

Is the law therefore contrary to God’s promises? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly be by the law.

[ 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.

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.

我不虛上帝之恩、蓋義若由律、則基督之死為徒然矣、

惟以色列人趨義之律而不及、

蓋於上帝前、無人因行律見義、第由律知罪耳、○今上帝之義、於律外昭著、乃律與先知所證者、即上帝之義因信耶穌基督及於諸信者、無所區別、

蓋不識上帝之義、而求立己之義、故不服上帝之義也、夫律盡於基督、致義夫諸信者、摩西書云、行律之義者、則因之而生、但由信之義則曰、爾勿意謂誰升於天、即言攜基督而下也、

然則將何言耶、律豈罪乎、非也、非由律則我未嘗知罪、如律不言毋欲、則我不知欲、然罪乘機、由誡而動諸欲於我中、蓋無律罪乃死、昔我無律而生、誡至、罪復生而我死、是致生之誡、適以致死、蓋罪乘機因誡誘我、且因之殺我、如是、律聖、誡亦聖、且義且善也、然則善其死我乎、非也、但罪因善而死我、以顯其為罪、俾罪因誡而致其極耳、

蓋我由律已死於律、致得生於上帝、

然則我儕以信廢律乎、曰、非也、乃堅律耳、

曰、非也、惟上帝誠、而人皆偽、如經云、俾爾於言見義、於鞫獲勝、

我儕於基督而求見義、仍不免為罪人、則基督豈為罪之役乎、非也、

勿意我來廢律、或先知也、我來非以廢之、乃以成之、我誠語汝、天地未廢、律之一點一畫必不廢、迨皆成焉、故廢此誡至微之一、又以是訓人者、在天國必謂之至微、惟遵行之、且以訓人者、在天國必謂之大也、我語汝、儻爾之義、無以尚乎士子法利賽人之義、斷不進於天國也、○

曰、非也、若然、則上帝焉能鞫世耶、

依熱衷則窘逐教會、依律中之義、則無間然、但昔於我為益者、我緣基督以之為損、我誠以萬事為損、因識我主基督耶穌為更美、且為彼已損萬事、視為糞土、致可得乎基督、而恆在其中、非以自乎律者為己之義、乃由信基督之義、即以信而自乎上帝者、

挪亞以信而得示以未見之事、寅畏而備方舟、以救其家、由此而罪世、且得依信之義也、
