I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

    我希奇你们这么快离开那藉着基督之恩召你们的,去从别的福音。那并不是福音,不过有些人搅扰你们,要把基督的福音更改了。但无论是我们,是天上来的使者,若传福音给你们,与我们所传给你们的不同,他就应当被咒诅。我们已经说了,现在又说,若有人传福音给你们,与你们所领受的不同,他就应当被咒诅。我现在是要得人的心呢,还是要得神的心呢?我岂是讨人的喜欢吗?若仍旧讨人的喜欢,我就不是基督的仆人了。
加拉太书1:6-10
一、我们先来熟悉一下这段经文
1、I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel.
astonish英 [ə'stɒnɪʃ] v.使惊讶;使吃惊
desert 英 [de'zət] v. 遗弃;离弃;放弃  现在分词deserting
2、Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.
evidently英 ['evɪdəntli] adv. 明显地;显著地;
confusion英 [kən'fjuːʒən] n. 惶惑;混淆;
pervert英 [pə'vɜːt] v. 误用;歪曲;
3、let him be eternally condemned!
eternally英 [ɪ'tɜːnəli] adv. 不朽地;永久地
condemn英 [kən'dem] v. 谴责;判刑  过去分词/过去式 condemned
二、好,下面我们一起来看一下这段经文里的语法
1、 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel.

astonish,动词,使吃惊,使惊讶

astonish的过去分词astonished在句中常用作形容词,意思是“感到惊讶的”,表示对突然发生或遇到的事情做出异乎寻常的反应,在句中可用作定语或表语; 而astonish的现在分词astonishing在句中用作形容词时多用作定语,偶尔也可用作表语。

e.g. The magician's next trick will astonish you.
魔术师的下一个戏法将令你大为惊讶。

I am astonished that he didn't come.
他没有来,我感到惊异。
It was an astonishing performance for such a young musician.

对于这样一个年轻的音乐家来说,那是一场令人惊异的表演。
The news was astonishing.
这消息令人吃惊。
2、 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you
(1)even if一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情
even though引出的是事实。
(2)虚拟语气
even if 引导的从句是往往是假设性的,相当于汉语的“即使”“纵然”“就算”“哪怕”。还可用于虚拟语气。
举例:
Even if many difficulties remain, we can overcome them. 
便是再多的困难, 也能克服。
Even if we achieve great success in our work, we should not be proud.

即使我们在工作中取得了巨大成绩,也不应该自满。


even though 引导的从句内容往往是真实的,主要用于引出不利用于主句情况的信息,相当于汉语的“尽管”“虽然”。
举例:
Bill went on even though no one was listening. 
虽然没有人在听,比尔还是继续往下讲。
Even though he was late, he was not criticized by the teacher.

虽然他晚了, 可他并没有受到老师的批评。
Even though he knows it, he'll not let out the secret.(他知道这个秘密)

Even if he knows it, he'll not let out the secret.(不确定他是否知道这个秘密)


though 常表示一些已经确定的消息,

而if由它本身所带的“如果”的含义,表示了一种对假设信息的不确定。


三、最后让我们来一起再回顾一下这段经文:
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
保罗知道有些加拉太信徒,听从了那些虽然信了主,但仍固守律法的犹太人,他们强调外邦人信主亦要接受割礼,成为犹太人。这和他向加拉太人所传因信称义的道理背道而驰,故他对这些擅自更改福音的犹太信徒,提出严重警告。
别的福音(6~7):保罗十分希奇竟有加拉太信徒听了那些错谬的道理,快快离开原来的福音,随从别的福音。别的福音就是不纯正的福音,或更改过的福音。这些福音不是抹煞了因信称义的道理,便是贬低十字架的真理。
严重警告(8~9):保罗对那些更改福音、搅扰加拉太信徒的犹太人,提出厉害的警告,说他们要受神的咒诅。保罗在病中仍然向他们传福音,带领他们信主,有些加拉太人已从别的福音走回原路。但另一些加拉太人仍伏在律法之下,受神的咒诅,叫自己建立的工程被拆毁。保罗希望他们知罪悔改,停止罪行,以免瞎子领瞎子,一同掉在坑里。
10节,既然只有一个福音,“我是要得人的心呢,还是要得神的心呢”?他显然不是要得人的心,因为人不喜欢只有一条路通往天堂的道路。若保罗改变他的信息来迎合人,他就不是基督的仆人;保罗的传道工作,只为讨神的喜悦,绝不理会人的恶意攻击与反对。
我们一起来祷告,神啊!求你的圣灵帮助我们来进入你的真理,分辨真假,更让我们清楚自己的信仰,不受异端的迷惑。奉主耶稣的名祷告,Amen!
