This book is comprised of a series of sermons on Galatians 2:20 — “And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
这本书由一系列关于加拉太书 2:20 的讲道组成——“我如今在肉身活着，是因信神的儿子而活，他是爱我，为我舍己。”

This life is a life of faith, for God will try the truth of our faith, so that the world may see that God has such servants as will depend upon His bare word; it were nothing to be a Christian if we should see all here; but God will have His children to live by faith, and take the promise upon His word.
这个生命是一个信仰的生命，因为上帝会试验我们的信仰的真实性，以便世人看到上帝有这样的仆人，他们只依赖上帝的话语；如果我们在这里看到一切，成为基督徒就没有什么意义了；但是上帝要求他的子民凭着信心活着，并依靠他的应许。

Galatians 2:20 are the words of a man pursued by the law unto Christ, proceeding from the Spirit of Christ; the nature whereof is, to apply generals to particulars. So St Paul here, ‘The life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.’ He sees he is dead by the law; therefore he seeks for a better husband. The law finds him dead, and leaves him dead. Thus pursued by the tenor of the law, he flies to Christ, and says, ‘I am crucified with Christ,’ nevertheless I live. How? ‘Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.’
加拉太书 2:20 是一个被法律追逐至基督的人的话，来自基督的灵；其本质是将普遍的应用于特殊情况。所以保罗在这里说，“我现在在肉身活着的生命，是因信神的儿子而活。”他看到自己在律法面前已经死了，因此他寻求一个更好的丈夫。律法发现他已经死了，并且让他继续死去。因此，在律法的追逐下，他转向基督，并说，“我已经与基督同钉十字架，然而我活着。”怎么活着呢？“但不是我活着，乃是基督在我里面活着。”

We live the life of faith in justification.  This is a life of sentence that the soul lives by, peace being spoken unto it by the pardon of sin; for God by his Spirit communicates so much to the soul, giving us assurance that Christ our surety and peace-maker is raised up again.
我们以信仰的生活在称义中。这是灵魂凭借宽恕罪孽而过的一种生活，因为上帝通过他的圣灵向灵魂传达了这么多，给予我们确信，我们的担保人和和平创造者基督已经复活。

So Ephesians 2:5 says “Even when we were dead in sins, he has given us life together with Christ, and raised us together, and made us sit in heavenly places with him.”  And why?  Because our Surety has paid our debt.  We say of a man condemned, he is a dead man until he have a pardon, which he has obtained, we turn our speech, and say, he lives.  So in justification: being united to Christ, and believing our pardon, we are said to live.  Our sins lie on him as our surety; for then, as our husband in charge, he pays all our debts.
以弗所书 2:5 说：“就是我们死在过犯中的时候，便叫我们与基督一同活过来。你们得救是本乎恩。”为什么呢？因为我们的担保人已经偿还了我们的债务。我们常说一个被判处死刑的人，在他获得赦免之前是个死人，但我们转变说法，说他活着。因此，在称义中，我们与基督联合，并相信我们的赦免，我们被称为活着。我们的罪孽归于他，作为我们的担保人；因为作为我们的丈夫，他支付了我们所有的债务。

Thus by virtue of our marriage to Christ, he discharges all our debts, and goes away with them; even as the scapegoat in the wilderness went quite away will all the sins and iniquities of the people, never to return again.  Look to our sins, the curse and wrath due them, and all is laid on him.  Look at all the good in him, that is for us; all the evil in us, look also to him for it, to have it taken away, pardoned, and not imputed.
因此，凭借我们与基督的婚姻，他偿还了我们所有的债务，并带走了它们；就像旷野中的替罪羊带走了人们所有的罪孽和不义，再也不会回来。看看我们的罪孽，对它们所应得的咒诅和愤怒，都归在他身上。看看他身上所有的美好，那是为了我们；看看我们内心的一切邪恶，也要求他帮助，使其消失、得到赦免，不再被归咎。

There be three ranks of men in the world, under which all men may be comprehended.
世界上有三个等级的人，所有人都可以被包括在内。

1. The estate of nature.
自然状态的财产。

2. The estate of men under the spirit of bondage.

3. The estate of grace under the gospel.
福音时代的恩典状态。
