被人毁谤,我们就善劝。直到如今,人还把我们看作世界上的污秽,万物中的渣滓。
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
所以我求你们效法我。
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
及至时候满足,神就差遣他的儿子,为女人所生,且生在律法以下,
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
可见,从此以后,你不是奴仆,乃是儿子了。既是儿子,就靠着神为后嗣。
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.

因为律法上记着,亚伯拉罕有两个儿子,一个是使女生的,一个是自主之妇人生的。
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
这都是比方。那两个妇人,就是两约。一约是出于西奈山,生子为奴,乃是夏甲。
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
