Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. 20 Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
それでは、律法はなんであるか。それは違反を促すため、あとから加えられたのであって、約束されていた子孫が来るまで存続するだけのものであり、かつ、天使たちをとおし、仲介者の手によって制定されたものにすぎない。 20 仲介者なるものは、一方だけに属する者ではない。しかし、神はひとりである。
21 では、律法は神の約束と相いれないものか。断じてそうではない。もし人を生かす力のある律法が与えられていたとすれば、義はたしかに律法によって実現されたであろう。 22 しかし、約束が、信じる人々にイエス・キリストに対する信仰によって与えられるために、聖書はすべての人を罪の下に閉じ込めたのである。
23 しかし、信仰が現れる前には、わたしたちは律法の下で監視されており、やがて啓示される信仰の時まで閉じ込められていた。 24 このようにして律法は、信仰によって義とされるために、わたしたちをキリストに連れて行く養育掛となったのである。 25 しかし、いったん信仰が現れた以上、わたしたちは、もはや養育掛のもとにはいない。26 あなたがたはみな、キリスト・イエスにある信仰によって、神の子なのである。
Learning about the Ten Commandments makes us realize that we cannot keep the Ten Commandments. We see in these standards the holiness of our God, and the depth of our own sin. The Ten Commandments force us to understand that God cannot accept us just as we are. We need to hear of the promise of God concerning the Savior, Jesus Christ, who forgives people of their sins and makes them perfectly acceptable to God.
