而且他也成为受割礼之人的父，不仅为那些受了割礼的人，还为那些顺着我们的先祖亚伯拉罕信心之脚踪行走的人；亚伯拉罕的信心在他没有受割礼的时候就已经有了。

亦為受割者之父、即不第自乎割、亦踐我父亞伯拉罕未割時而信之迹者也、

亦為受割者之父、彼不徒遵割禮、乃行其父亞伯拉罕未受割時而信之跡也、

And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

And Abraham is also the father of those who are circumcised and believe. So just being circumcised is not enough. Those who are circumcised must also follow the steps of our father Abraham. He had faith before he was circumcised.

and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.

And he became the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised.

and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.

and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

And he became the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised.

And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which[ he had] being[ yet] uncircumcised.

And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.

He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

因为经上记着：亚伯拉罕有两个儿子，一个出于女仆，一个出于自由女人。那出于女仆的是由肉体生的，那出于自由女人的是藉着应许生的。这些都是有寓意的。就是说，这两个女人是两个约。一个出于西奈山，生子为奴，她就是夏甲。这夏甲是指着阿拉伯的西奈山，相当于现在的耶路撒冷，因为耶路撒冷和她的儿女都是为奴的。但那在上面的耶路撒冷是自由女人；她是我们的母亲。因为经上记着：“不能生育、没有生产的女子啊，你要欢喜！没有经历临产阵痛的女子啊，你要放声呼喊！因为没有丈夫的女子，比有丈夫的女子有更多的儿女。”不过弟兄们，你们就像以撒一样，是应许的儿女。但正如那由肉体生的当时逼迫了那由圣灵生的，现在也是这样。然而经上是怎么说的呢？“把女仆和她的儿子赶出去！因为女仆的儿子，绝不可以与自由女人的儿子一同做继承人。”因此，弟兄们，我们不是女仆的儿女，而是自由女人的儿女。

原来你们是为此蒙召的，因为基督也为你们受了苦害，给你们留下了榜样，好让你们追随他的脚踪。

你们不要心里想‘我们有亚伯拉罕为先祖。’我告诉你们：神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起儿女来。

财主在阴间的痛苦中，举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕，又望见拉撒路在他怀里，就呼唤说：‘我父亚伯拉罕，可怜我吧！请打发拉撒路用指头蘸点水，凉一下我的舌头吧，因为我在这火焰里，极其痛苦！’“可是亚伯拉罕说：‘孩子啊，你当想起，你一生怎样享了你的福，而拉撒路怎样受了苦；但如今他在这里受到安慰，你却在痛苦中。这一切之外，在我们和你们之间，隔着巨大的深渊，所以人想要从这边过到你们那边是不可能的，从那边过到我们这边也是不可能的。’“财主就说：‘我父啊，那么求你打发拉撒路到我父亲家去，因为我有五个兄弟，让他去郑重地劝诫他们，免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’“但是亚伯拉罕说：‘你的兄弟们有摩西和先知们，让你的兄弟们听从他们吧。’“财主却说：‘不，我父亚伯拉罕哪！其实如果有人从死人中复活，到他们那里去，他们就会悔改。’“可是亚伯拉罕对他说：‘如果他们不听从摩西和先知们，就算有人从死人中复活，他们也不会被说服的。’

我鼓励提多去，又打发那位弟兄与他一起去。难道提多对不起你们吗？我们行事，难道不是同一个心灵吗？难道不是同一个步调吗？

他们回答说：“亚伯拉罕是我们的父！”耶稣说：“如果你们是亚伯拉罕的儿女，就会做亚伯拉罕所做的事。但如今，我把从神那里所听到的真理告诉了你们，你们就想杀我。亚伯拉罕没有做过这种事。

但这并不是说神的话语落了空，因为由以色列所生的，并不都是以色列人；也不因为是亚伯拉罕的后裔，就都是他的儿女；只有“从以撒生的，才会被称为你的后裔。”

你领悟了，就必行良善人的道，谨守义人的路。
