羅馬書 8:1
- 4
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
如今,那些在基督耶穌裡的就不定罪了。
因為賜生命聖靈的律,在基督耶穌裡釋放了我,使我脫離罪和死的律了。
律法既因肉體軟弱,有所不能行的,神就差遣自己的兒子,成為罪身的形狀,作了贖罪祭,在肉體中定了罪案,
使律法的義成就在我們這不隨從肉體、只隨從聖靈的人身上。
加拉太書 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

羅馬書 13:8
- 10
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
凡事都不可虧欠人,惟有彼此相愛要常以為虧欠;因為愛人的,就完全了律法。
像那不可姦淫,不可殺人,不可偷盜,不可貪婪,或有別的誡命,都包在愛人如己這一句話之內了。
愛是不加害與人的,所以愛就完全了律法。

以賽亞書 58:6
- 7
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
我所揀選的禁食不是要鬆開兇惡的繩,解下軛上的索,使被欺壓的得自由,折斷一切的軛嗎?
不是要把你的餅分給飢餓的人,將飄流的窮人接到你家中,見赤身的給他衣服遮體,顧恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏嗎?
耶利米書 34:8
The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves.

For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord's freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ's slave.
因為作奴僕蒙召於主的,就是主所釋放的人;作自由之人蒙召的,就是基督的奴僕。
加拉太書 5:13
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
弟兄們,你們蒙召是要得自由,只是不可將你們的自由當作放縱情慾的機會,總要用愛心互相服事。
加拉太書 5:13
- 14
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
弟兄們,你們蒙召是要得自由,只是不可將你們的自由當作放縱情慾的機會,總要用愛心互相服事。
因為全律法都包在「愛人如己」這一句話之內了。
出埃及記 6:2
- 7
God also said to Moses, "I am the Lord.
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself fully known to them.
I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners.
Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.
"Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
神曉諭摩西說:「我是耶和華。
我從前向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各顯現為全能的神;至於我名耶和華,他們未曾知道。
我與他們堅定所立的約,要把他們寄居的迦南地賜給他們。
我也聽見以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀聲,我也記念我的約。
所以你要對以色列人說:『我是耶和華;我要用伸出來的膀臂重重的刑罰埃及人,救贖你們脫離他們的重擔,不做他們的苦工。
我要以你們為我的百姓,我也要作你們的神。你們要知道我是耶和華你們的神,是救你們脫離埃及人之重擔的。

耶利米書 34:15
- 17
Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people. You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name.
But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
"Therefore this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom to your own people. So I now proclaim 'freedom' for you, declares the Lord-'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.
如今你們回轉,行我眼中看為正的事,各人向鄰舍宣告自由,並且在稱為我名下的殿中、在我面前立約。
你們卻又反悔,褻瀆我的名,各人叫所任去隨意自由的僕人婢女回來,勉強他們仍為僕婢。
所以耶和華如此說:你們沒有聽從我,各人向弟兄鄰舍宣告自由。看哪!我向你們宣告一樣自由,就是使你們自由於刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫之下,並且使你們在天下萬國中拋來拋去。這是耶和華說的。
約翰福音 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
你們得救是本乎恩,也因著信;這並不是出於自己,乃是神所賜的;
希伯來書 2:14
- 15
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil-
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
兒女既同有血肉之體,他也照樣親自成了血肉之體,特要藉著死敗壞那掌死權的,就是魔鬼,

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
「我是真葡萄樹,我父是栽培的人。
凡屬我不結果子的枝子,他就剪去;凡結果子的,他就修理乾淨,使枝子結果子更多。
現在你們因我講給你們的道,已經乾淨了。
你們要常在我裡面,我也常在你們裡面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上,自己就不能結果子;你們若不常在我裡面,也是這樣。
我是葡萄樹,你們是枝子。常在我裡面的,我也常在他裡面,這人就多結果子;因為離了我,你們就不能做什麼。
人若不常在我裡面,就像枝子丟在外面枯乾,人拾起來,扔在火裡燒了。
你們若常在我裡面,我的話也常在你們裡面,凡你們所願意的,祈求,就給你們成就。
你們多結果子,我父就因此得榮耀,你們也就是我的門徒了。

加拉太書 4:3
- 7
So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."
So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
我們為孩童的時候,受管於世俗小學之下,也是如此。
及至時候滿足,神就差遣他的兒子,為女子所生,且生在律法以下,
要把律法以下的人贖出來,叫我們得著兒子的名分。
你們既為兒子,神就差他兒子的靈進入你們(原文作我們)的心,呼叫:「阿爸!父!」
可見,從此以後,你不是奴僕,乃是兒子了;既是兒子,就靠著神為後嗣。
