The great gift that God has for us does not depend on the law. If it did, it would no longer depend on the promise. But God gave it to Abraham as a free gift through a promise.

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。

如果繼業是本於律法，就不再是本於應許了；但是神把繼業賜給亞伯拉罕是藉著應許。

若嗣業由律、則不復由許、但上帝曾以許賜之亞伯拉罕矣、

若嗣業由恃法、則非由應許矣、然上帝實恩賜亞伯拉罕、以應許焉、

若嗣業由律法、則非由應許、然天主乃以應許恩賜亞伯拉罕、

若云嗣業係據律法、則不復淵源於恩諾矣。然而嗣業、固天主所許於亞伯漢之恩賜也。

For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

We don’t want you to slow down. Instead, be like those who have faith and are patient. They will receive what God promised.When God made his promise to Abraham, God gave his word. There was no one greater than himself to promise by. So he promised by making an appeal to himself.He said,“ I will certainly bless you. I will give you many children.”( Genesis 22:17)Abraham was patient while he waited. Then he received what God promised him.

Abraham and his family received a promise. God promised that Abraham would receive the world. It would not come to him because he obeyed the law. It would come because of his faith, which made him right with God.Do those who depend on the law receive the promise? If they do, faith would mean nothing. God’s promise would be worthless.The law brings God’s anger. Where there is no law, the law can’t be broken.The promise is based on God’s grace. The promise comes by faith. All of Abraham’s children will certainly receive the promise. And it is not only for those who are ruled by the law. Those who have the same faith that Abraham had are also included. He is the father of us all.

He has been kind to our people of long ago. He has remembered his holy covenant.He made a promise to our father Abraham.

Lord, who is a God like you? You forgive sin. You forgive your people when they do what is wrong. You don’t stay angry forever. Instead, you take delight in showing your faithful love to them.Once again you will show loving concern for us. You will completely wipe out the evil things we’ve done. You will throw all our sins into the bottom of the sea.You will be faithful to Jacob’s people. You will show your love to Abraham’s children. You will do what you promised to do for our people. You made that promise long ago.

As his children, we will receive all that he has for us. We will share what Christ receives. But we must share in his sufferings if we want to share in his glory.

I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God by believing in Christ.

Remember what he has done, you children of his servant Abraham. Remember it, you people of Jacob, God’s chosen ones.He is the Lord our God. He judges the whole earth.He will keep his covenant forever. He will keep his promise for all time to come.He will keep the covenant he made with Abraham. He will keep the promise he made to Isaac.He made it stand as a law for Jacob. He made it stand as a covenant for Israel that will last forever.He said,“ I will give you the land of Canaan. It will belong to you.”At first there weren’t very many of God’s people. There were only a few, and they were strangers in the land.

The promises were given to Abraham. They were also given to his seed. Scripture does not say,“ and to seeds.” That means many people. It says,“ and to your seed.”( Genesis 12:7; 13:15; 24:7) That means one person. And that one person is Christ.

He remembered the holy promise he had made to his servant Abraham.

All who depend on obeying the law are under a curse. It is written,“ May everyone who doesn’t continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law be under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 27:26)

You who belong to Christ are Abraham’s seed. So you will receive what God has promised.

The law is not based on faith. In fact, it is just the opposite. It teaches that“ the person who does these things will live by them.”( Leviticus 18:5)

He has helped the people of Israel, who serve him. He has always remembered to be kindto Abraham and his children down through the years. He has done it just as he promised to our people of long ago.”
