重点句子的学习:加拉太后书4:1-5
1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 然而,产业继承人还年幼时,虽然身为产业的主人,实际上和奴仆没有分别。
2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 他一样要受监护人和管家的约束,一直到他父亲指定他继承产业的日子为止。
3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. 我们也一样,当我们还是孩童的时候,我们受世界基本规条的辖制。
4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 然而,时候一到,上帝就差遣自己的儿子借着一位女子降生,并受律法的约束,
5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.为要救赎一切受律法约束的人,使我们成为祂的儿女。
