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!

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、

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？

“ 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 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!

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

“ We are Jews by nature and not sinners from the Gentiles;

Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found a liar, as it is written:“ So that You are justified in Your words, And prevail when You are judged.”

What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, not man.

Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;who has no daily need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because He did this once for all time when He offered up Himself.For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, who has been made perfect forever.

Far from it! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God.By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister.

She will give birth to a Son; and you shall name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, to confirm the promises given to the fathers,

What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is by faith;however, Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though they could by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,just as it is written:“ Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, And the one who believes in Him will not be put to shame.”

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.

But if the ministry of death, engraved in letters on stones, came with glory so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness excel in glory.

You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
