他領受了割禮為象徵，做沒受割禮時因信而稱的義的印記，好使他做一切沒受割禮而信的人的父，（叫義可以算為他們的），

并且他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，叫他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义；

并且，他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，为使他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义，

并且，他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，为使他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义，

他后来受割礼只不过是一个记号，表明他在受割礼前已经因信而被称为义人了。他因此成为一切未受割礼的信徒之父，使这些人也可以被算为义人。

他领受了割礼为记号，作他受割礼之前因信称义的印证，使他作所有没有受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也被算为义；

并且他领受了割礼的标记，做为他没有受割礼时因信称义的印证，使他成为所有不凭着割礼而信之人的父，也使他们被算为义；

並且他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，叫他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義；

並且，他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，為使他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義，

並且，他受了割禮的記號，作他未受割禮的時候因信稱義的印證，為使他作一切未受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也算為義，

他後來受割禮只不過是一個記號，表明他在受割禮前已經因信而被稱為義人了。他因此成為一切未受割禮的信徒之父，使這些人也可以被算為義人。

他領受了割禮為記號，作他受割禮之前因信稱義的印證，使他作所有沒有受割禮而信之人的父，使他們也被算為義；

並且他領受了割禮的標記，做為他沒有受割禮時因信稱義的印證，使他成為所有不憑著割禮而信之人的父，也使他們被算為義；

且亞伯拉罕受割之號、即其未受割、因信為義之印證、使為凡未割而信者之父、致彼稱義、

亞伯拉罕受割禮之號、即未受割、信而稱義之印證、如是、則亞伯拉罕可為未受割、信而稱義者之父、

彼受割禮之號、即未受割禮時、因信而稱義之印證、使其為凡未受割禮而信者之父、使彼亦得稱義、

其受割之儀式、不過為因信成義之印證、而其信德則於未割之時、固已全具矣。因是亞伯漢乃為未受割而因信成義者之父、

And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

He was circumcised as a sign of the covenant God had made with him. It showed that his faith had made him right with God before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all believers who have not been circumcised. God accepts their faith. So their faith makes them right with him.

He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,

Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous— even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,

and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which[ he had yet] being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

然而上帝救人的義、卻是憑着那信耶穌基督的心、加給一切信的人的；並沒有區別：

耶穌對他說：『今天拯救臨到這一家了；他也是亞伯拉罕的子孫哪；

因着信、挪亞得了神諭關於還未看到的事，就動了虔敬的心而建備樓船、來救他的家，便藉着信而定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了依信而稱的義。

是他蓋印了我們，並先賜聖靈做質定在我們心裏。

耶穌對他們說：『我、就是生命的餅；來找我的、必定不餓；信我的、必定永遠不渴。

別叫上帝的聖靈擔憂了；你們是受他的印記作質定、以待得贖放之日子的。

在基督裏、你們也成了業分；既已聽見真理之道、你們得救的福音、來信他，你們也就由所應許的聖靈蓋印；

也做受割禮的人的父，做那些不但受割禮、並且照我們祖宗亞伯拉罕沒受割禮時的信心之腳蹤而按規矩行的人的父。向亞伯拉罕或他後裔發的那應許、使他承受得世界為產業的、並不是憑着律法，乃是憑着信心而稱的義。

又有話吩咐牠們別傷害地上的草、或各樣青物、各樣樹木，惟獨要傷害人、那沒有上帝印記在額上的人。

我的安息日你們要守為聖別，作為我與你們之間的憑證，好使你們知道我永恆主乃是你們的上帝。

你們如果是屬基督的，那你們就是亞伯拉罕的後裔，照應許做後嗣了。

而常在他裏面；不是有我自己的義、那以律法為本的義，乃是有那憑着信基督的義、那由上帝而來、以信為條件的義；

耶穌對馬大說：『我、就是復活，就是生命。信我的人就使死了，也必活過來；凡活着而信我的人、必定永遠不死：你信這個麼？』

信子的有永恆的生命；不信從子的必不得見生命，上帝的義怒卻停留在他身上。』

我實實在在地告訴你們，信的人有永生。

他們回答耶穌說：『我們是亞伯拉罕的後裔，從來沒有做過誰的奴隸，你怎麼說，「你們必得自主」呢？』

其實基督乃是律法的終極，叫一切信的人都歸於義的。

好在現今的時期做他救人之義的明證，來顯明他自己為義，也是叫信耶穌的人得以稱義的。

我們是靠着靈、本着信、切候着所盼望之稱義的。

我父的意思就是：要使凡見子而信的人都有永生；我還要使他在末日復起呢。』

其實不然，經書乃是斷言萬人都被圈住在犯罪之中，這就使所應許的須由相信耶穌基督、而賜給信的人了。

我告訴你們，從東從西、必有許多人要來，跟亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各一同坐席在天國裏；

但這並不是說、上帝的話似乎廢墮了。原來從以色列而出的、並不都是「以色列人」。

耶穌基督的僕人和使徒、西門彼得、寫信給那因我們的上帝和救主、耶穌基督、的義、與我們分得同樣寶貴信仰的人。

永恆主你的上帝必給你的心和你後裔的心行割禮，使你全心全意愛永恆主你的上帝，使你得以活着，

因為外表上做猶太人的、並不是真的猶太人；外表上肉身上的割禮、也不是真的割禮。惟獨那在心裏面做猶太人的、才是真的猶太人。那屬於心的割禮、才是真的割禮——本着靈、不本着典籍的。這種人之受稱讚、不是由於人，乃是由於上帝。

使一切信他的人都得永生。上帝這樣地愛世人，甚至賜下獨生子，使一切信他的人都不滅亡、而得永生。

這是我和以色列人之間永遠的憑證，因為六日之內永恆主造了天地，第七日便休息而舒暢舒暢。」』

在你所住的房屋上、這血要給你們做記號；我一見這血。就把你們越過去；我擊打埃及地的時候，就不至於有疫病臨到你們身上來滅你們。

西門彼得回答說：『你是基督上帝所膏立者、永活上帝的兒子。』

就是因為這個緣故、所以才本着信、要使應許確定，按照恩典、給予一切後裔，不但給予那本着律法的人，也給予那本着亞伯拉罕之信的人。在亞伯拉罕所信的上帝面前，就是在那能叫死人活、能呼叫不存在的成為存在者、面前，亞伯拉罕是我眾人的父；正如經上所記：『我立了你做許多邦國的父』。他在無可指望時、仍然存着指望而信，就按所說『你的後裔將要如此』的話做了許多邦國的父。

信我的人就如經上所說：「必有活水之江河，從他腹中流出。」』但這句話耶穌是指着聖靈說的，就是信他的人將要領受的；那時聖靈還沒有來，因為耶穌還沒有得榮耀。

凡依這準繩按規矩行的，願平安憐憫加給他們，也加給上帝的以色列民。

你們中間所有的男子都要受割禮：這就是我的約，在我與你們以及你以後的苗裔之間所立的，就是你們所應當守的。你們包皮的肉都要受割禮：這就要做我與你們之間所立的約的憑證。

所以你們要知道，以信為本的人才是亞伯拉罕的子孫。

並且我也將我的安息日賜給他們，做個我與他們之間的憑證，好使他們知道是我永恆主使他們成聖別的。

因為經上說：『凡信靠他的總不至於失望。』

『你要告訴以色列人說：「你們務要守我的安息日，因為這是我與你們之間世世代代的憑證，使人知道我永恆主是把你們分別為聖的。

這樣，我們可怎麼說呢？那不追求義的外國人倒追着了義、那本着信的義；

但那本着信的義卻是這樣說的：『你不要心裏說：「誰要升上天去，（這就是說，誰要把基督領下來）呢？」

正如經上所記：『你看，我把一塊碰腳的石頭、令人絆跌的磐石放在錫安，信靠他的必不至於失望。』
