What a blessing it is to receive grace not by our own works. Paul uses Abraham as an example of someone who lived in a right relationship with God by trusting God's promises. Paul highlights that Abraham was considered righteous because of his faith, not because of his actions or adherence to the law. Romans 4 emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, obtained through faith in Jesus Christ.
不是藉由我們自己的行為而能接受恩典是多麼有福啊！保羅以亞伯拉罕為例，他透過相信上帝的承諾而與上帝建立了正確的關係。保羅強調，亞伯拉罕被認為是義的，乃因為他的信仰，而不是因為他的行為或對法律的遵守。羅馬書 4 章強調救贖是上帝的禮物，透過對耶穌基督的信仰而獲得。
Romans 4:4-8
Now to the one who works,
wages are not credited as a gift
but as an obligation.
However, to the one who does not work
but trusts God who justifies the ungodly,
their faith is credited as righteousness.
David says the same thing
when he speaks of the blessedness of the one
to whom God credits righteousness
apart from works:
“Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one whose sin
the Lord will never count against them.”
羅馬書 4:4-8
做工的得工價，
不算恩典，
乃是該得的；
惟有不做工的，
只信稱罪人為義的神，
他的信就算為義。
正如大衛稱那在行為以外
蒙神算為義的人
是有福的。
他說：
得赦免其過、
遮蓋其罪的，
這人是有福的。
主不算為有罪的，
這人是有福的。
