I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. – Gal. 2:21

我不废掉神的恩；义若是藉着律法得的，基督就是徒然死了。——加拉太书2章21节

Six Sermons on Galatians 2:21″ by Robert Traill provides a rich and detailed exposition of a critical passage in the New Testament.

罗伯特·特雷尔的”关于加拉太书2章21节的六篇讲道”提供了对新约圣经一段关键经文丰富而详细的阐释。

This work by Traill, a Presbyterian minister from the 17th century, explores the Apostle Paul’s declaration in Galatians 2:21, “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”

这部由17世纪长老会牧师特雷尔所写的作品，探讨了使徒保罗在加拉太书2章21节的宣告：”我不废掉神的恩；义若是藉着律法得的，基督就是徒然死了。”

Traill’s sermons offer a profound consideration of the doctrines of grace, justification by faith alone, and the centrality of Christ’s work on the cross.

特雷尔的讲道提供了对恩典教义、唯独因信称义，以及基督在十字架上工作的中心地位的深刻思考。

Some key aspects of the book:

本书的一些关键方面：

Traill emphasizes that justification before God is based solely on the righteousness of Christ imputed to believers by faith.

特雷尔强调，在神面前的称义完全建基于基督的义藉着信归算给信徒。

He argues against any reliance on personal righteousness or works of the law for justification, pointing out that such reliance would nullify the grace of God.

他反对任何依靠个人的义或律法的行为来称义，指出这样的依靠会废掉神的恩。

This lesson underscores the heart of Reformed theology, which holds that salvation is entirely a work of God’s free grace, not earned by human effort or obedience.

这个教训强调了改革宗神学的核心，即救恩完全是神白白恩典的工作，不是藉着人的努力或顺服赚取的。

Traill’s exposition reaffirms the Protestant Reformation’s principle of sola fide, or faith alone, as the means by which believers are declared righteous before God.

特雷尔的阐释重申了新教改革的唯独信心原则，作为信徒在神面前被宣告为义的方式。

While firmly rejecting the notion that the law could contribute to one’s justification, Traill explains the proper role of the law in the life of a believer.

虽然坚决拒绝律法能对人的称义有所贡献的观念，特雷尔解释了律法在信徒生命中的正当角色。

He teaches that the law serves as a guide for holy living, reflecting the character of God and His will for His people.

他教导说，律法作为圣洁生活的指引，反映神的性情和祂对祂百姓的旨意。

However, Traill carefully distinguishes this sanctifying use of the law from its function in justification.

然而，特雷尔仔细区分了律法这种成圣的用途与它在称义中的功能。

This balance highlights the Reformed understanding of the “third use of the law” (tertius usus legis), which asserts that the law, while not justifying, guides believers in grateful response to the grace they have received in Christ.

这种平衡突出了改革宗对”律法的第三用途”的理解，即律法虽然不能使人称义，却引导信徒以感恩回应他们在基督里所领受的恩典。

Traill also offers pastoral encouragement to believers struggling with doubts about their salvation.

特雷尔也向为救恩疑惑挣扎的信徒提供牧者的鼓励。

He points to the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning work and the promise of the Gospel as the basis for assurance.

他指出基督赎罪工作的充足性和福音的应许作为确据的根基。

Trusting in Christ alone, believers can have confidence in their salvation, not because of their own faithfulness, but because of Christ’s finished work on the cross.

单单信靠基督，信徒可以对他们的救恩有确信，不是因为他们自己的信实，而是因为基督在十字架上完成的工作。

Traill’s sermons comfort believers with the assurance that, since their righteousness comes from Christ, their salvation is secure.

特雷尔的讲道以这样的确据安慰信徒：既然他们的义来自基督，他们的救恩就是稳固的。

This assurance fosters a life of joy, gratitude, and obedience to God out of love, rather than fear.

这确据培养出喜乐、感恩和出于爱而非惧怕对神顺服的生命。

“Six Sermons on Galatians 2:21” by Robert Traill is a treasure trove of Reformed theological insights, rich in biblical exposition and practical application.

罗伯特·特雷尔的”关于加拉太书2章21节的六篇讲道”是改革宗神学洞见的宝库，富含圣经释经和实际应用。

Traill’s commitment to the doctrines of grace, the proper understanding of the law, and the assurance of salvation through faith in Christ alone offers timeless guidance for Christians seeking to deepen their faith and live out the implications of the Gospel.

特雷尔对恩典教义的委身、对律法的正确理解，以及藉着唯独信靠基督的救恩确据，为寻求加深信仰和活出福音意涵的基督徒提供了永恒的指引。
