我儕童蒙時、亦役於斯世之小學、

我儕當未成人、亦為此世小學束縛、

So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.

It is the same with us. When we were children, we were slaves to the basic spiritual powers of the world.

In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.

And that’s the way it was with us before Christ came. We were like children; we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.

In the same way we also, when we were children, were in slavery under the elements of the world.

So we too, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elementary principles of the world.

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world:

爾其小心謹慎、毋令他人以其鑿空蹈虛之詭辯、支離妄本之曲學、劫奪爾之心魂。此種詭辯曲學、囿於習俗、扭於形迹、而不能上達於基督也。

爾等既與基督同死、而已灑然脫於世俗之蒙學矣、乃何又鰓鰓遵循人為之禁令、一若尚生於世俗之中耶？

惟時頗有偽兄弟者、私自混入同道、蓄意偵伺吾人托庇耶穌基督所享之自由、欲引吾人復墮奴隸之域。

今爾何為拂逆天主、而欲以吾列祖及吾儕所不堪負荷之軛、加諸信徒之項乎？

兄弟其識之、吾人非婢女之子、乃主婦之子也。夫基督之予吾人以解放也、其非欲吾人享受自由乎？故吾儕當確立不移、不宜妄自菲薄、復入奴隸之軛也。

惟在信德未興之前、吾人則受律法之監護約束、以俟行見啟示之信德。是故律法實為吾人之蒙師、所以引導吾人、達於基督、俾因信德而成義也。然信德既至、則吾人不復受蒙師之監督；

凡爾服勞負重之人、其咸來就我、我當與爾休息。

此夏甲即亞刺伯之西乃山、亦可象徵現在之耶路撒冷；蓋耶路撒冷及其子女、猶未解放也。

蓋爾所受者、非畏首畏尾之奴隸情緒；爾所受者、乃為呼爺喚父之兒女精神也。

耶穌因謂之曰：『爾能恪守吾道、是真吾徒、
