經文

Scripture

但我絕不以別的誇口，只誇我們主耶穌基督的十字架；因這十字架，就我而論，世界已經釘在十字架上；就世界而論，我已經釘在十字架上。受割禮或不受割禮都無關緊要，要緊的就是作新造的人。凡照這準則行的人，願平安憐憫加給他們，和神的以色列民。從今以後，不要有人再攪擾我，因為我身上帶著耶穌的印記。弟兄們，願我們主耶穌基督的恩與你們的靈同在。阿們！
“But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.”
— 加拉太書六章14–18節
— Galatians 6:14–18

一、保羅最後的宣告：只誇十字架

1. Paul’s Final Declaration: Boast Only in the Cross

保羅在書信結尾，把整卷加拉太書的核心再次集中在基督的十字架上。
At the close of the letter, Paul centers the whole message of Galatians once again on the cross of Christ.

經文

Scripture

你們看我親手寫給你們的字是何等的大！那些想要炫耀外表的人才勉強你們受割禮，無非是怕自己為基督的十字架受迫害。他們那些受割禮的，連自己也不守律法；他們要你們受割禮，不過是要拿你們的肉體誇口。
“See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.”
— 加拉太書六章11–13節
— Galatians 6:11–13

一、保羅為何親手寫大字？

1. Why Did Paul Write With Large Letters?

保羅通常由文書代筆寫信，但在書信結尾，他親手寫下這段話。
Paul usually dictated his letters to a scribe, but at the end of this letter he wrote this section with his own hand.

經文

Scripture

不要自欺；神是輕慢不得的，因為人種的是甚麼，收的也是甚麼。順著肉體撒種的，必從肉體收敗壞；順著聖靈撒種的，必從聖靈收永生。我們行善不可喪志，因為若不灰心，到了適當的時候就有收成。所以，一有機會就要向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更要這樣。
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
— 加拉太書六章7–10節
— Galatians 6:7–10

一、這段經文與前文的關係

1. How This Passage Connects to the Previous Verses

加拉太書6:1–6講到挽回跌倒的人、互相擔當重擔、省察自己，以及支持教導真道的人。
Galatians 6:1–6 speaks of restoring the fallen, carrying one another’s burdens, examining oneself, and supporting those who teach the word.

(more…)

經文

Scripture

你們各人的重擔要互相擔當，這樣就會成全基督的律法。人若沒有甚麼了不起，還自以為了不起的，就是自欺。各人要省察自己的行為；這樣，他所誇口的只在自己，而不在別人。因為人人必須擔當自己的擔子。在真道上受教的，要把一切美好的東西與施教的人分享。
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load. One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.”
— 加拉太書六章2–6節
— Galatians 6:2–6

一、這段經文與前文的關係

1. How This Passage Connects to the Previous Verses

加拉太書6:1說，屬靈的人要用溫柔把被過犯所勝的人挽回過來。

Verse 6:2 further says believers must carry one another’s burdens.

(more…)

經文

Scripture

弟兄們，若有人偶然被過犯所勝，你們屬靈的人就要用溫柔的心把他挽回過來；自己也要留意，免得也被引誘。
“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.”
— 加拉太書六章1節
— Galatians 6:1

一、這節經文與前文的關係

1. How This Verse Connects to the Previous Passage

加拉太書5章講到順著聖靈而行、結出聖靈的果子；第6章則把這種生命落實到教會群體中。
Galatians 5 teaches believers to walk by the Spirit and bear the fruit of the Spirit; chapter 6 applies this life to the church community.

第6:1節不是叫我們看見別人犯罪就批評、羞辱或遠離他，而是叫我們「把他挽回過來」。

Verse 6:1 does not tell us to criticize, shame, or distance ourselves when we see someone sin; it tells us to “restore him.”

這是聖靈引導的生活在群體中的具體表現：不是冷漠，也不是放縱，而是以愛和溫柔幫助跌倒的人重新站起來。

This is a concrete expression of Spirit-led living in community: neither indifference nor indulgence, but helping a fallen person rise again through love and gentleness.

二、「偶然被過犯所勝」是甚麼意思？

2. What Does “Caught in Any Transgression” Mean?

「偶然被過犯所勝」不是指蓄意、頑固、長期不悔改地犯罪。
“Caught in any transgression” does not refer to deliberate, stubborn, long-term unrepentant sin.

它更像一個人在沒有警醒時被罪絆倒、陷入困境，甚至自己也不知道怎樣走出來。

It is more like a person being tripped by sin and trapped in a place he never expected, perhaps not knowing how to get out.

這節經文提醒我們：

This verse reminds us:

• 人會跌倒，教會群體也會有人跌倒。
• People fall, and people in the church community also fall.
• 跌倒的人需要的是挽回，而不是羞辱。
• A fallen person needs restoration, not humiliation.
• 我們不能假設自己永遠不會跌倒。
• We must not assume we will never fall.

三、「屬靈的人」是誰？

3. Who Are the “Spiritual” People?

「屬靈的人」不是指自以為比別人聖潔、更有資格批評人的人。
“Spiritual people” does not mean those who think they are holier or more qualified to judge others.

它指被聖靈引導、結出聖靈果子、願意順服神的人。

It refers to those led by the Spirit, bearing the Spirit’s fruit, and willing to submit to God.

屬靈的人不是站在高處審判跌倒者，而是走近他、扶持他、幫助他回到基督面前。

Spiritual people do not stand above the fallen to judge them; they draw near, support them, and help them return to Christ.

四、「挽回」是甚麼意思？

4. What Does “Restore” Mean?

「挽回」的原文有修補、復原、使歸位的意思，像修補破損的漁網，或把脫臼的骨頭重新接好。

The word “restore” carries the sense of mending, repairing, and setting right, like repairing a torn fishing net or resetting a dislocated bone.

這提醒我們：

This reminds us:

• 挽回的目標不是證明自己對，而是幫助對方恢復。
• The goal of restoration is not to prove oneself right but to help the other person recover.
• 挽回不是公開羞辱，而是私下、耐心、有智慧的幫助。
• Restoration is not public shaming but private, patient, wise help.
• 挽回包括勸戒、教導、禱告、陪伴，有時也包括尋求教會領袖或專業協助。
• Restoration includes admonition, teaching, prayer, companionship, and sometimes seeking church leaders or professional help.

五、為何要用「溫柔的心」？

5. Why Restore With a Spirit of Gentleness?

「溫柔」是聖靈的果子之一（加拉太書5:23）。
“Gentleness” is one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23).

溫柔不是軟弱，也不是迴避真理；而是力量受控制，願意以尊重和愛心對待人。

Gentleness is not weakness or avoiding truth; it is strength under control, treating people with respect and love.

用溫柔挽回，因為：

We restore with gentleness because:

• 跌倒的人已經受傷，需要醫治而不是更多傷害。
• A fallen person is already wounded and needs healing, not more harm.
• 我們自己也曾軟弱，將來也可能需要別人挽回。
• We ourselves have been weak and may one day need others to restore us.
• 溫柔能使人願意悔改；苛刻往往使人防衛、隱藏或離開。
• Gentleness makes a person willing to repent; harshness often makes a person defensive, hidden, or withdrawn.

六、為何要「留意自己」？

6. Why Must We Watch Ourselves?

保羅說：「自己也要留意，免得也被引誘。」
Paul says, “Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.”

這不是叫我們害怕幫助人，而是提醒我們：在面對別人的罪時，我們自己也會面對兩種危險。

This does not tell us to fear helping others; it reminds us that when facing another person’s sin, we also face two dangers.

1. 驕傲的危險

1. The Danger of Pride

我們可能因為別人跌倒而自覺優越，忘記自己也是蒙恩的罪人。

We may feel superior because someone else has fallen, forgetting that we too are sinners saved by grace.

2. 被同樣試探引誘的危險

2. The Danger of Being Tempted by the Same Sin

我們可能以為自己夠剛強，結果在類似的試探中跌倒。

We may think we are strong enough, only to fall in a similar temptation.

因此，挽回別人之前，要先省察：

Therefore, before restoring others, examine yourself:

• 我是否帶著憤怒、報復或優越感？
• Am I carrying anger, revenge, or a sense of superiority?
• 我是否也有類似的軟弱或未處理的罪？
• Do I have similar weaknesses or unaddressed sin?
• 我是否願意讓別人以同樣溫柔的方式挽回我？
• Am I willing to let others restore me with the same gentleness?

七、心理學角度：如何健康地挽回人

7. A Psychological Perspective: How to Restore Someone Healthily

健康的挽回不是控制、羞辱或代替神審判人。
Healthy restoration is not control, shame, or taking God’s place as judge.

它包括：

It includes:

• 選擇合適的時間和私密的環境。
• Choose an appropriate time and private setting.
• 先聆聽，了解事情的經過和對方的感受。
• Listen first to understand what happened and how the person feels.
• 用「我」的語言表達關心，而不是用攻擊性語言。
• Use “I” language to express concern rather than attacking language.
• 分開「行為」和「人格」：指出行為需要改變，但不否定對方作為人的價值。
• Separate behavior from personhood: address the behavior that needs to change without denying the person’s worth.
• 提出具體、可行的下一步。
• Offer concrete, practical next steps.
• 尊重對方的節奏，同時不迴避必要的問責。
• Respect the person’s pace while not avoiding necessary accountability.

八、今天可以怎樣實踐？

8. How Can We Practice This Today?

1. 為跌倒的人禱告

1. Pray for the Fallen Person

不要先傳言或批評，先為他禱告。
Do not first gossip or criticize; pray for him first.

2. 用溫柔接觸

2. Approach With Gentleness

問候、聆聽、陪伴，而不是審問。
Greet, listen, and accompany rather than interrogate.

3. 說真話，但用愛心

3. Speak Truth, But With Love

不隱瞞問題，也不用羞辱的方式表達。
Do not hide the issue, but do not express it in a shaming way.

4. 留意自己的心

4. Watch Your Own Heart

求神保守你，使你不因別人的跌倒而驕傲，也不被同樣的試探引誘。
Ask God to keep you from becoming proud because of another’s fall, and from being tempted by the same sin.

5. 接受別人的挽回

5. Receive Restoration From Others

當別人用愛心指出你的問題時，不要立刻防衛，而要謙卑聆聽。
When others lovingly point out your problems, do not immediately become defensive; listen humbly.

九、禱告

9. Prayer

親愛的天父：
Dear Heavenly Father,

感謝祢藉著加拉太書提醒我，教會不是審判人的地方，而是彼此挽回、彼此扶持的群體。
Thank You for reminding me through Galatians that the church is not a place for judging people but a community of mutual restoration and support.

主啊，當我看見弟兄姊妹跌倒時，求祢除去我的驕傲、批評和優越感。
Lord, when I see a brother or sister fall, remove my pride, criticism, and sense of superiority.

求祢賜我溫柔的心，使我能用愛心、耐心和智慧，把人挽回到祢面前。
Give me a gentle heart to restore people to You with love, patience, and wisdom.

求祢也保守我，使我不因別人的跌倒而自誇，也不被同樣的試探引誘。
Keep me from boasting because of another’s fall, and from being tempted by the same sin.

求祢使我在家庭、教會、職場和社會中，成為一個願意挽回人、也願意被挽回的人。
Help me become someone willing to restore others and willing to be restored in family, church, work, and society.

奉主耶穌基督的名祈求，阿們。
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

結語

Conclusion

加拉太書6:1提醒我們，面對跌倒的弟兄姊妹，我們的責任不是審判，而是挽回。
Galatians 6:1 reminds us that when facing a fallen brother or sister, our responsibility is not to judge but to restore.

因此，不要用驕傲和批評對待軟弱的人；要用溫柔、警醒和愛心，把人帶回基督面前。
Therefore, do not treat the weak with pride and criticism. Bring people back to Christ with gentleness, watchfulness, and love.

經文

Scripture

情慾的事都是顯而易見的；就如淫亂、污穢、放蕩、拜偶像、行邪術、仇恨、紛爭、忌恨、憤怒、自私、分派、結黨、嫉妒、醉酒、荒宴等類。我從前告訴過你們，現在又告訴你們，做這樣事的人必不能承受神的國。
“Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
— 加拉太書五章19–21節
— Galatians 5:19–21
