【加2:16】既知道人称义不是因行律法，乃是因信耶稣基督，连我们也信了基督耶稣，使我们因信基督称义，不因行律法称义，因为凡有血气的，没有一人因行律法称义。【Gal2: 16】know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.

保罗再次告诉加拉太的信徒，人称义不是因行律法，乃是因信耶稣基督。因为凡有血气的，按着本性、天然人的样子，全人类所有人，没有一个因行律法称义。Paul reminded the Galatians once again that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. By nature, in the image of the natural man, no one—no human being—is justified by the works of the law. “称义”的原文是法庭用语，含有：被法庭撤消罪案；宣告无罪；赐予合法地位，称为义人等意思。人称义是因信耶稣基督。The original word for "justified" is a legal term, meaning: to have a conviction dismissed by the court; to be declared not guilty; to be granted legal standing; to be called righteous, and so on. A person is justified by faith in Jesus Christ.

我们原是站在被告席上等候被审判的罪人，外面的善行不能掩盖里面的罪恶。We were originally sinners, standing in the dock, waiting to be judged. Outward good deeds cannot cover up the sin within.因着耶稣担当了我们的罪，替我们受刑罚，流血舍命，为我们而死，偿还了一切罪债，因着神的恩典，借着我们的信，我们得称为义，得着赦免和释放。But because Jesus took our sins upon Himself, suffered the punishment we deserved, shed His blood and died for us—paying for all our sins—we are justified, forgiven, and set free by God’s grace through faith.一切都是神的恩典，主啊，感谢赞美你的救恩。t is all God’s grace.Lord, thank you. I praise you for your salvation.

保罗原是法利赛人，因信耶稣基督得着了真自由。Paul was originally a Pharisee, but he found true freedom through faith in Jesus Christ.主啊，因着信自己是一个罪人，接受你的救恩，我成为你的孩子。这些年，看到你的命令，我就照着自己判断善恶的思想去行，行完了就自高、自义；行不出来就被定罪、控告、沮丧…Lord, because I believed I was a sinner and accepted your salvation, I became your child. But over the years, when I saw your commandments, I often acted according to my own judgement of good and evil. When I succeeded, I became proud and self-righteous; when I failed, I felt condemned, accused, and downcast...律法显出我的罪，却不能使我成为义，谁能救我呢？The law reveals my sin, but it cannot make me righteous.Who can save me?

原来律法为叫我知罪，引我到基督面前。“我”是卖给罪的，没有良善，行不出律法的圣洁公义，只配得被钉死。The law was given to make me aware of sin and to lead me to Christ. I am sold as a slave to sin—there is no goodness in me, and I am unable to live out the holiness and righteousness required by the law. I am only worthy of being crucified.主啊，你为我死，我要为你而活，不是“我”能为你做什么，是你赐下圣灵，使我可以转向你，与你联合，求圣灵从里面更新我，以你的心为心，爱你所爱，活出信心的义。But Lord, you died for me, and I want to live for you. It’s not that I can do anything for you in my own strength, but you have given me the Holy Spirit so that I can turn to you and be united with you. Holy Spirit, I ask you to renew me from within—give me your heart, help me to love what you love, and to live out the righteousness that comes by faith
