若屬律法者為嗣子、則信歸於虛、所許亦廢矣、

若是属乎律法的人才得为后嗣，信就归于虚空，应许也就废弃了。

若是属于律法的人才是后嗣，信就落空了，应许也就失效了。

若是属于律法的人才是后嗣，信就落空了，应许也就失效了。

如果只有遵行律法的人才可以承受应许，信心就没有价值，上帝的应许也就落了空。

如果属于律法的人才能成为后嗣，信就没有作用，应许也就落空了。

这是因为，如果本于律法的才是继承人，信就落了空，应许也就无效了。

若是屬乎律法的人才得為後嗣，信就歸於虛空，應許也就廢棄了。

若是屬於律法的人才是後嗣，信就落空了，應許也就失效了。

如果只有遵行律法的人才可以承受應許，信心就沒有價值，上帝的應許也就落了空。

如果屬於律法的人才能成為後嗣，信就沒有作用，應許也就落空了。

假使本着律法的人才是承受產業的，那麼信就落了空，應許也就失效了。

這是因為，如果本於律法的才是繼承人，信就落了空，應許也就無效了。

若由律者為嗣、信則虛、許亦廢矣、

若恃法為嗣子、則信歸烏有、許亦無益、

若惟屬於律法者得為嗣子、是不啻廢棄信德、而致恩諾於無效也。

For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,

Do those who depend on the law receive the promise? If they do, faith would mean nothing. God’s promise would be worthless.

For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.

If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless.

If those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made empty and the promise nullified,

For if those who are of the Law are heirs, then faith is made void and the promise is nullified;

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

If those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made empty and the promise is canceled.

For if they which are of the law[ be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified.

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

若嗣業由律法、則非由應許、然天主乃以應許恩賜亞伯拉罕、然則律法何益、曰、為罪愆而設、待受應許之裔至焉、且律法傳授、藉天使、託中保之手、中保非為一、而天主乃一也、○然則律法與天主之許相反乎、非也、若賜以能致生之律法、則人必由律法可得稱義、但按經、萬人皆在罪中、使所許之福、由信耶穌基督、可賜於諸信者、信之道尚未顯著、我眾為律法所守、而被拘以俟信之道顯著、如是、律法為我啟蒙之師、引我就基督、使由信稱義、

夫聞時而廢之、則所許之願、所立之戒、不償不守、因為夫所廢、主必赦之、

今適主降罰降罰原文作行作之時、因人廢棄主之律法、

我在斯地、必使猶大人及耶路撒冷人之謀、皆虛而無成、使彼之敵與索其命者、以刃殺戮、使其屍骸、為空中鳥、地上獸所食、

然則我儕因信廢律法乎、非也、乃堅定律法、

我不棄天主恩、若由律法可得稱義、則基督之死徒然矣、

爾欲恃律法稱義者、棄基督絕於恩矣、

是以為嗣子乃因乎信、使所許者、因恩而定、且歸眾苗裔、不獨歸於屬律法者、亦歸於有亞伯拉罕之信之人、亞伯拉罕於天主前、為我眾之父、如經載云、我立爾為萬民之父、天主能使死復生、命無為有、亞伯拉罕信之、

律法立懦弱之人為大祭司、律法後之誓言、則立永遠全備之子焉、

使我得義、非由律法、乃由信基督、即天主因信所賜之義、

蓋律法無所成全、惟新賜更美之望、我儕賴以近於天主前、

我言一出我口、亦必若是、決非徒然、亦不返回、必成我旨、我命之行者、無不亨通、

夫聞後而廢之、其罪必歸於夫、或作夫必負其罪
