当时，那按着肉体生的迫害了那按着圣灵生的，现在也是这样。

当时，那按着血气生的，逼迫了那按着圣灵生的，现在也是这样。

当时，那按着肉体生的迫害了那按着圣灵生的，现在也是这样。

当时，那按着人的意愿生的儿子迫害那靠着圣灵生的儿子，现在的情况也和当时一样。

不过，当时那按着肉体生的，迫害那按着圣灵生的，现在也是这样。

但正如那由肉体生的当时逼迫了那由圣灵生的，现在也是这样。

當時，那按着血氣生的逼迫了那按着聖靈生的，現在也是這樣。

當時，那按着肉體生的迫害了那按着聖靈生的，現在也是這樣。

當時，那按着肉體生的迫害了那按着聖靈生的，現在也是這樣。

當時，那按著人的意願生的兒子迫害那靠著聖靈生的兒子，現在的情況也和當時一樣。

不過，當時那按著肉體生的，迫害那按著聖靈生的，現在也是這樣。

但當時那只按普通程序生的怎樣逼迫那按靈生的，如今也這樣。

但正如那由肉體生的當時逼迫了那由聖靈生的，現在也是這樣。

昔依形軀而生者、窘逐依聖神而生者、今亦如是、

昔循人道而生者、窘逐依神道而生者、今亦如是、

昔循血氣而生者、窘逐循神而生者、今亦如是、

夫血氣之兒女、必仇視聖神之兒女、古今一體。

At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.

At that time, the son born in the usual way tried to hurt the other son. The other son was born by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the same now.

But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

But you are now being persecuted by those who want you to keep the law, just as Ishmael, the child born by human effort, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power of the Spirit.

But just as then the child born as a result of the flesh persecuted the one born as a result of the Spirit, so also now.

But as at that time the son who was born according to the flesh persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit, so it is even now.

But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, so also it is now.

But just as then the child born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so also now.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him[ that was born] after the Spirit, even so[ it is] now.

But just as at that time the one born by natural descent persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so it is now.

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

那时，撒拉看见埃及人夏甲为亚伯拉罕所生的儿子戏笑，

弟兄们，我若仍旧传割礼，为什么还受迫害呢？若是这样，十字架绊倒人的地方就没有了。

你们若顺从肉体活着，必定会死；若靠着圣灵把身体的恶行处死，就必存活。

所以，我差遣先知、智慧人和文士到你们这里来，有的你们要杀害，要钉十字架；有的你们要在会堂里鞭打，从这城追逼到那城，如此，地上所有义人流的血都归到你们身上，从义人亚伯的血起，直到你们在圣所和祭坛中间所杀的巴拉加的儿子撒迦利亚的血为止。我实在告诉你们，这一切的罪都要归到这世代了。”“耶路撒冷啊，耶路撒冷啊，你常杀害先知，又用石头打死那奉差遣到你这里来的人。我多少次想聚集你的儿女，好像母鸡把小鸡聚集在翅膀底下，但是你们不愿意。

我爱你们，正如父爱我一样；你们要常在我的爱里。

耶稣回答：“我实实在在地告诉你，人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国。

弟兄们，你们与犹太地区神的各教会，就是在基督耶稣里的各教会，有同样的遭遇，因为你们也受了同胞的迫害，像他们受了犹太人的迫害一样。这些犹太人不但杀了主耶稣和先知们，又把我们赶出去。他们令神不悦，且与众人为敌，

一面在众人面前公然被毁谤，遭患难；一面陪伴那些受这样苦难的人。你们同情那些遭监禁的人，也欣然忍受你们的家业被人抢去，因为你们知道自己有更美好更长存的家业。

那使女所生的是按着肉体生的；那自由的妇人所生的是凭着应许生的。

如今，那些在基督耶稣里的人就不被定罪了。

那些想要炫耀外表的人才勉强你们受割礼，无非是怕自己为基督的十字架受迫害。他们那些受割礼的，连自己也不守律法；他们要你们受割礼，不过是要拿你们的肉体夸口。但我绝不以别的夸口，只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架；因这十字架，就我而论，世界已经钉在十字架上；就世界而论，我已经钉在十字架上。
