那许多信的人，都是一心一意的，没有一人说，他的东西有一样是自己的，都是大家公用。
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
如此说来，我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕，凭着肉体得了什么呢。
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
倘若亚伯拉罕是因行为称义，就有可夸的。只是在神面前并无可夸的。
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
如此看来，这福音是单加给那受割礼的人吗。不也是加给那未受割礼的人吗。因我们所说，亚伯拉罕的信，就算为他的义。
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
并且他受了割礼的记号，作他未受割礼的时候因信称义的印证，叫他作一切未受割礼而信之人的父，使他们也算为义。
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
又作受割礼之人的父，就是那些不但受割礼，并且按我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕，未受割礼而信之踪迹去行的人。
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
因为神应许亚伯拉罕和他后裔，必得承受世界，不是因律法，乃是因信而得的义。
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
若是属乎律法的人，才得为后嗣，信就归于虚空，应许也就废弃了。
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
因为律法是惹动忿怒的。（或作叫人受刑的）那里没有律法，那里就没有过犯。
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
亚伯拉罕所信的，是那叫死人复活使无变为有的神，他在主面前作我们世人的父。如经上所记，我已经立你作多国的父。
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
