今如一面求成義於基督聖道之中、同時仍以律法下之罪人自居、是不啻以基督為罪階也。有是理乎？

我们若求在基督里称义，却仍旧是罪人，难道基督是叫人犯罪的吗？断乎不是！

我们若求在基督里称义，自己却还被视为罪人，那么，基督是罪的用人吗？绝对不是！

我们若求在基督里称义，自己却还被视为罪人，那么，基督是罪的用人吗？绝对不是！

如果我们指望在基督里被称为义人，结果却仍是罪人，难道基督助长罪恶吗？当然不是！

如果我们寻求在基督里称义，却仍然是罪人，难道基督是使人犯罪的吗？绝对不是。

但如果我们自己寻求在基督里被称为义，却被发现还是罪人，那么，难道基督就成了罪的仆人吗？绝对不是！

我們若求在基督裏稱義，卻仍舊是罪人，難道基督是叫人犯罪的嗎？斷乎不是！

我們若求在基督裏稱義，自己卻還被視為罪人，那麼，基督是罪的用人嗎？絕對不是！

我們若求在基督裏稱義，自己卻還被視為罪人，那麼，基督是罪的用人嗎？絕對不是！

如果我們指望在基督裡被稱為義人，結果卻仍是罪人，難道基督助長罪惡嗎？當然不是！

如果我們尋求在基督裡稱義，卻仍然是罪人，難道基督是使人犯罪的嗎？絕對不是。

但倘若我們這尋求在基督裏得稱為義的人也見得自己是觸犯律法的罪人，那麼、基督是助人犯罪的僕役麼？斷乎不是。

但如果我們自己尋求在基督裡被稱為義，卻被發現還是罪人，那麼，難道基督就成了罪的僕人嗎？絕對不是！

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、

或曰、我恃基督而稱義、又陷乎罪、基督得毋助人為罪乎、曰、非也、

我儕賴基督求得稱義、若仍因犯律法視為罪人、則基督豈非助人犯罪乎、非也、

“ But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!

We are seeking to be made right with God through Christ. As we do, what if we find that we who are Jews are also sinners? Does that mean that Christ causes us to sin? Certainly not!

But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not!

But if we ourselves are also found to be“ sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Far from it!

“ But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!

But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.

But if we ourselves are also found to be“ sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners,[ is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

But if while seeking to be justified in Christ we ourselves have also been found to be sinners, is Christ then one who encourages sin? Absolutely not!

But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

然則吾人果持何說？將謂流連罪中、以希恩寵之發揚乎？無是理也！夫吾人於罪既已心死、其尚能依罪而生乎？

吾人為猶太人、而非外邦之罪人、固矣；

無是理也！即使眾人皆偽、亦不能改天主之真。經云：『主言惟正、睿斷實公、』斯之謂也。

然則如何？曰：義塞之所求、未之得也、其中蒙恩者得之、而其餘則已成麻木不仁之徒矣。

供職於至聖閟帷之內、而此閟帷、乃主所立、非人所建也。

惟耶穌則有生而無死、故其司祭職位、亦永世而弗替。因是凡賴彼而歸天主者、彼常能為其轉求、而拯救之也。嗟夫、有若斯聖善純正、無玷無染、遠絕乎罪人、而超軼乎諸天之上者、作吾人之大司祭、不亦美乎！一般大司祭必須逐日為己為人、獻贖罪之祭；至耶穌則己既無罪可贖即眾人之罪、彼亦已獻身以為之贖、一勞而永逸矣。蓋律法所立之大司祭、皆屬荏弱之人；而後來誓言所立者、則為永生至善之聖子也。

曰：惡、是何言！天主而不義、將何以審判世界？

惟伯鐸祿至安提阿時、有過、予曾面斥之。

作惡者、則出於自始作惡之魔鬼。而天主聖子之降世、正為掃蕩魔鬼之惡業也。故凡天主所生者、不犯罪、良以天主之道根、常存其心中故也。蓋既為天主之所生、尚能沉溺於罪中乎。且天主之子女、與魔鬼之子女、皆不難分辨也。凡行為不正者、不屬天主、不愛其兄弟者亦然。

行舉一子、宜名之曰耶穌；彼將濟其子民於眾罪也。』

吾謂基督之成為受割禮者之僕役、所以實踐天主所許於列祖之恩諾、而彰天主之至誠也。

於此吾人尚有何說？異邦之人、未曾求義、竟因信而得義矣。義塞人求義於律法之中、而終未之得也。何以故？以其求之不以信、而以法耳。經云：『慎之哉、余以躓人之石、礙人之磐、置於西温；惟能置信者、決不失望。』顧義塞人則見躓於斯石矣。

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。

夫以肅殺之文字、勒之於石、供其役者、且有盛極一時之殊榮、甚至摩西面上光采煥發、非義塞子孫所得而直視焉；則供聖神之役者、其榮更當何如！彼掌定罪之職者、尚且有榮、則參贊成道之事者、其榮將有不可思議者矣！

天主以無罪之身、顯現於世者、欲滌除吾人之罪也。
