3:1
Ταῦτα, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐμαυτῷ ἐπιτρέψας γράφω ὑμῖν περὶ τῆς δικαιοσύνης, ἀλλ̓ ἐπεὶ ὑμεῖς προεπεκαλέσασθέ με
These things, brothers, I write to you concerning righteousness, not because I take it upon myself, but because you yourselves invited me beforehand.
弟兄們,我寫這些關於義的事給你們,並不是出於我自作主張,乃是因為你們先前邀請了我。
3:2
οὔτε γὰρ ἐγὼ οὔτε ἄλλος ὅμοιος ἐμοὶ δύναται κατακολουθῆσαι τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ μακαρίου καὶ ἐνδόξου Παύλου, ὃς γενόμενος ἐν ὑμῖν κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν τότε ἀνθρώπων ἐδίδαξεν ἀκριβῶς καὶ βεβαίως τὸν περὶ ἀληθείας λόγον, ὃς καὶ ἀπὼν ὑμῖν ἔγραψεν ἐπιστολάς, εἰς ἃς ἐὰν ἐγκύπτητε, δυνηθήσεσθε οἰκοδομεῖσθαι εἰς τὴν δοθεῖσαν ὑμῖν πίστιν:
For neither I nor any other like me can keep pace with the wisdom of the blessed and glorious Paul, who, when he was among you, taught accurately and reliably the word concerning truth in the presence of the people of that time, and who, when absent, wrote letters to you—into which, if you look closely, you will be able to be built up in the faith given to you;
因為無論是我,或是別的像我這樣的人,都不能趕得上那有福而榮耀的保羅的智慧。他從前在你們中間的時候,曾當著那時代之人的面,準確而確實地教導關乎真理的道;他不在的時候,也寫信給你們。你們若是細心查考這些信,就能在所領受的信心上得著建造;
3:3
ἥτις ἐστὶν μήτηρ πάντων ἡμῶν, ἐπακολουθούσης τῆς ἐλπίδος, προαγούσης τῆς ἀγάπης τῆς εἰς θεὸν καὶ Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὸν πλησίον. ἐὰν γάρ τις τούτων ἐντὸς , πεπλήρωκεν ἐντολὴν δικαιοσύνης: γὰρ ἔχων ἀγάπην μακράν ἐστιν πάσης ἁμαρτίας
which faith is the mother of us all, with hope following after and love going before—love toward God and Christ and toward our neighbour. For if anyone is within the bounds of these, he has fulfilled the commandment of righteousness; for he who has love is far from all sin.
這信心就是我們眾人的母親,隨後有盼望跟隨,又有愛在前引導——就是向著神、向著基督並向著鄰舍的愛。人若持守這些,就成全了義的誡命;因為有愛心的人,就遠離了一切的罪。
