一、凡被称义的人,神在祂的独生子耶稣基督里、为了祂的独生子耶稣基督,赐给他们得名分的恩典(弗1:5;加4:4-5):借此,他们被归入数目,得享神儿女的自由和特权(罗8:17;约1:12);他们身上有祂的名字(民6:24-26;耶14:9;摩9:12;徒15:17;林后6:18;启3:12);领受得儿子名分的圣灵(罗8:15);可以坦然无惧地来到施恩宝座前(弗3:12;来4:16);得以呼叫阿爸、父(罗8:15;加4:6;罗8:16);被祂像父亲一样怜恤(诗103:13)、保护(箴14:26)、供养(太6:30,32;彼前5:7)和管教(来12:6);但永不被撇弃(哀3:31-32;诗89:30-35),反受印记、等候得赎的日子来到(弗4:30),并承受应许(来6:12)、作永远救恩的后嗣(彼前1:3-4;来1:14)。(译注:称义是福音的首要福分,得名分是福音所提供的最高特权。)

All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in and for His only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption: by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God; have His name put upon them; receive the Spirit of adoption; have access to the throne of grace with boldness; are enabled to cry, Abba, Father; are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by Him as by a father; yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption, and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation.
