ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
139:1
Sicut enim Judæorum tex, itagentinm gloria, gratia est. Et ideo apostolus Paulas ad unam partem dicit, Non bona gloriatio vestra ( II Cor. v, 6), ad aliam vero, Mihi autem absit gloriari, nisi in cruce Do■ mini nostri Jesu Christi (Gal. iv, 14).
For as the law is to the Jews, so is the glory of the Gentiles; grace [answers both]. And therefore the Apostle Paul says on the one side, Your glorying is not good (1 Cor. 5:6), but on the other, But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Gal. 6:14).
因為律法之於猶太人如何,屬地的榮耀之於外邦人也是如何;而恩典〔則勝過兩者〕。因此使徒保羅一面說:你們這自誇是不好的(哥林多前書五6),一面又說:但我斷不以別的誇口,只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架(加拉太書六14)。
