我们在耶稣基督里成为神的义 — 哥林多后书读经随笔 第5章

哥林多后书第五章第18—21节，保罗说神通过他的儿子耶稣基督使我们与他和好，不再定我们的罪，因为耶稣本无罪，神使他成为我们的罪，被钉在十字架上替我们受了惩罚，这样好叫我们在耶稣基督里成为神的义。并且，保罗接着说，神也将让人与神和好的职分赐给了我们，作为基督的使者，让我们传福音给众人，祈求大家通过耶稣基督与神和好，不辜负耶稣在十字架上所流的血。

 林后5:18 一切都是出于 神、他借着基督使我们与他和好、又将劝人与他和好的职分赐给我们．

But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

林后5:19 这就是 神在基督里、叫世人与自己和好、不将他们的过犯归到他们身上．并且将这和好的道理托付了我们。

namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

 林后5:20 所以我们作基督的使者、就好象 神藉我们劝你们一般．我们替基督求你们与 神和好。

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

 林后5:21 神使那无罪的、〔无罪原文作不知罪〕替我们成为罪．好叫我们在他里面成为 神的义。

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
