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.
他不是誇自己的使徒職分、受苦經歷、神學知識或事奉成果，而是單單誇主耶穌基督的十字架。
He does not boast in his apostleship, sufferings, theological knowledge, or ministry achievements, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
在羅馬世界，十字架是羞辱和刑罰的記號；但對保羅來說，它卻是救恩、得勝和榮耀的記號。
In the Roman world, the cross was a symbol of shame and punishment; but for Paul, it became the symbol of salvation, victory, and glory.
二、「世界已釘在十字架上」是甚麼意思？
2. What Does “The World Has Been Crucified to Me” Mean?
保羅說，因這十字架，就他而論，世界已經釘在十字架上；就世界而論，他已經釘在十字架上。
Paul says that through the cross, the world has been crucified to him, and he to the world.
這不是說基督徒要恨惡世界或完全退出社會。
This does not mean Christians should hate the world or withdraw completely from society.
「世界」在這裡指與神為敵的價值體系：以成就、地位、宗教表現、人的稱讚和自我救贖為中心的生活方式。
“The world” here refers to the value system opposed to God: a way of life centered on achievement, status, religious performance, human praise, and self-salvation.
十字架使保羅不再被這些價值支配；他也不再向世界尋求身份、接納和榮耀。
The cross no longer lets these values govern Paul; he no longer seeks identity, acceptance, or glory from the world.
[
\text{十字架之前：我靠成就、表現和別人的認可來定義自己。}
]
[
\text{Before the cross: I define myself by achievement, performance, and others’ approval.}
]
[
\text{十字架之後：我在基督裡已被接納，所以不再需要靠世界證明自己。}
]
[
\text{After the cross: I am accepted in Christ, so I no longer need the world to prove my worth.}
]
三、割禮無關緊要，新造才是關鍵
3. Circumcision Is Nothing; New Creation Is Everything
第15節說，受割禮或不受割禮都無關緊要，要緊的是作新造的人。
Verse 15 says that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but a new creation.
這不是說身體記號或文化身份完全沒有意義，而是說它們不能成為得救、被神接納或屬神子民身份的根據。
This does not mean physical signs or cultural identity have no meaning; rather, they cannot become the basis for salvation, acceptance, or belonging to God’s people.
真正要緊的是：人在基督裡成為新造的人。
What truly matters is that a person becomes a new creation in Christ.
新造的人有新的心、新的渴望、新的關係和新的生活方向。
A new creation has a new heart, new desires, new relationships, and a new direction of life.
這新生命不是靠律法製造出來，而是靠聖靈在基督裡成就的。
This new life is not manufactured by the Law but accomplished by the Spirit in Christ.
四、「神的以色列民」是誰？
4. Who Are “The Israel of God”?
第16節說，凡照這準則行的人，願平安憐憫加給他們，和神的以色列民。
Verse 16 says, “Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, and upon the Israel of God.”
「這準則」是指第14至15節的原則：只誇十字架，並在基督裡作新造的人。
“This rule” refers to the principle of verses 14–15: boasting only in the cross and becoming a new creation in Christ.
神的子民不是按血統、割禮或宗教表現來界定，而是按在基督裡的信心和新生命來界定。
God’s people are defined not by ancestry, circumcision, or religious performance, but by faith in Christ and new life in Him.
因此，無論是猶太人還是外邦人，凡信靠基督、靠聖靈生活的人，都領受神的平安和憐憫。
Therefore, whether Jew or Gentile, all who trust Christ and live by the Spirit receive God’s peace and mercy.
五、「耶穌的印記」是甚麼？
5. What Are “The Marks of Jesus”?
第17節說，保羅身上帶著耶穌的印記。
Verse 17 says Paul bears on his body the marks of Jesus.
這很可能指保羅因傳福音而受逼迫所留下的傷痕。
This most likely refers to the scars Paul received from persecution while preaching the gospel.
假教師以割禮作為宗教身份的記號；保羅卻以為基督受苦的傷痕作為忠心的記號。
The false teachers used circumcision as a mark of religious identity; Paul bore scars from suffering for Christ as marks of faithfulness.
這提醒我們：基督徒真正的記號，不是外在的宗教標籤，而是願意為基督和福音付代價的生命。
This reminds us that the true mark of a Christian is not an outward religious label but a life willing to pay the cost for Christ and the gospel.
六、結尾的祝福：恩典與靈同在
6. The Closing Blessing: Grace With Your Spirit
第18節說：「願我們主耶穌基督的恩與你們的靈同在。」
Verse 18 says, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.”
保羅以恩典結束，因為整卷加拉太書的信息就是：人不是靠律法、割禮或行為得救，而是靠基督的恩典藉著信心得救。
Paul ends with grace because the message of Galatians is that people are saved not by the Law, circumcision, or works, but by God’s grace through faith in Christ.
這恩典不只使人得救，也繼續扶持信徒每天靠聖靈生活。
This grace not only saves but also sustains believers as they live by the Spirit each day.
七、加拉太書的總結信息
7. The Summary Message of Galatians
加拉太書可以濃縮為以下信息：
Galatians can be summarized in this message:
[
\text{因信稱義} \rightarrow \text{得兒子名分} \rightarrow \text{靠聖靈生活} \rightarrow \text{彼此相愛} \rightarrow \text{只誇十字架}
]
[
\text{Justification by faith} \rightarrow \text{Adoption as sons} \rightarrow \text{Living by the Spirit} \rightarrow \text{Loving one another} \rightarrow \text{Boasting only in the cross}
]
1. 福音的核心
1. The Core of the Gospel
人得救不是靠行為、律法或宗教表現，而是靠恩典藉著信心，在基督耶穌裡領受。
People are saved not by works, the Law, or religious performance, but by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.
2. 自由的目的
2. The Purpose of Freedom
基督徒的自由不是放縱，而是靠聖靈活出愛、彼此服侍和善行。
Christian freedom is not license but love, mutual service, and good works lived through the Spirit.
3. 新造的生命
3. New Creation Life
真正要緊的不是宗教標籤，而是在基督裡成為新造的人。
What truly matters is not a religious label but becoming a new creation in Christ.
4. 十字架的中心
4. The Centrality of the Cross
基督徒不誇自己，也不誇別人的表現，只誇基督的十字架。
Christians do not boast in themselves or in others’ performance, but only in the cross of Christ.
八、今天可以怎樣回應？

1. 檢視我的誇口
1. Examine My Boasting
我是否誇自己的成就、恩賜、事奉、道德表現或別人的認可？
Do I boast in my achievements, gifts, ministry, moral performance, or others’ approval?
2. 重新以十字架看自己
2. See Yourself Through the Cross
我的價值不在於表現，而在於基督為我死、為我復活。
My worth is not based on performance but on Christ’s death and resurrection for me.
3. 拒絕世界的價值體系
3. Reject the World’s Value System
不以金錢、地位、名聲、比較或人的稱讚作為最終目標。
Do not make money, status, reputation, comparison, or human praise your ultimate goal.
4. 活出新造的生命
4. Live as a New Creation
靠聖靈結出果子，愛人、服侍、行善、饒恕，並在群體中彼此擔當重擔。
Bear the Spirit’s fruit, love, serve, do good, forgive, and carry one another’s burdens in community.
5. 願意為基督付代價
5. Be Willing to Pay the Cost for Christ
當持守福音帶來反對或誤解時，仍然忠心、溫柔和勇敢。
When upholding the gospel brings opposition or misunderstanding, remain faithful, gentle, and courageous.
九、禱告
9. Prayer

求祢使我不再被世界的價值體系支配，不再靠成就、地位或別人的認可來定義自己。
Keep me from being governed by the world’s value system, and from defining myself by achievement, status, or others’ approval.

結語
Conclusion
加拉太書以十字架開始，也以十字架結束。
Galatians begins and ends with the cross.
