世代是世界这撒但系统的一部分、一方面以及现今时髦的表现，为撒但所利用，篡夺并霸占神的子民，使他们远离神和神的定旨─弗二2，约壹二15~16。

２
按加拉太书全文看，一章四节中“现今这邪恶的世代”，是指宗教世界，世界的宗教系，犹太宗教；这由六章十四至十五节得着证实，那里说到宗教世界，就这世界而论，使徒保罗已经钉了十字架。
According to the context of Galatians, the present evil age in 1:4 refers to the religious world, the religious course of the world, the Jewish religion; this is confirmed by 6:14-15, which speaks of the religious world which to the apostle Paul was crucified.

宗教是人的心思受撒但煽动和指示而形成的，为要反对神的经纶─提前一4，弗一10，三9：
Religion is something formed by the human mind under Satan's instigation and inspiration in order to oppose God's economy—1 Tim. 1:4; Eph. 1:10; 3:9:

宗教就是为着神并为着人的益处，却没有基督，离了基督的灵─加五4~5，三1、5、14、24。
Religion is something for God and for the benefit of people, yet it is without Christ and apart from the Spirit of Christ—Gal. 5:4-5; 3:1, 5, 14, 24.

宗教徒就是敬拜神、事奉神，却没有基督或那灵；我们一变成宗教徒，就被牢笼在现今这邪恶的世代里。
To be religious is to worship God and serve God without Christ or the Spirit; whenever we become religious, we become ensnared in the present evil age.

５
在我们与宗教之间的乃是十字架；就我们而论，宗教这世界已经钉了十字架，就宗教而论，我们也已经钉了十字架─六13~14。
Between us and religion is the cross; religion as a world has been crucified to us, and we have been crucified to religion—6:13-14.

三
对保罗来说，现今邪恶的世代是犹太教；对今日的我们来说，现今邪恶的世代是走样、堕落的基督教─一4，太十三31~33、44~46：
For Paul, the present evil age was Judaism; for us today, the present evil age is deformed and degraded Christianity—1:4; Matt. 13:31-33, 44-46:

２
召会是基督活的身体，但今天围绕我们的是满了传统、组织、表演和虚假的宗教─走样、堕落的基督教；主无法在这光景中完成祂的定旨。
The church is the living Body of Christ, but what surrounds us today is a religion—deformed and degraded Christianity—full of traditions, organizations, performances, and falsehoods; the Lord cannot accomplish His purpose in this situation.
The church is the living Body of Christ, but what surrounds us today is a religion—deformed and degraded Christianity—full of traditions, organizations, performances, and falsehoods; the Lord cannot accomplish His purpose in this situation.
３
我们都需要蒙拯救脱离宗教，脱离基督教这现今邪恶的世代；我们必须从巴比伦出来，巴比伦也必须从我们身上出去─拉一，启十八4，亚三1~4。
We all need to be delivered from religion, from Christianity as the present evil age; we must come out of Babylon, and Babylon must come out of us—Ezra 1; Rev. 18:4; Zech. 3:1-4.

５
主的恢复与今天的宗教─走样、堕落的基督教─不同，因此，主的恢复与基督教之间是不可能妥协的─太十三31~33、44~46，启十八4，十九1~3、7~9。
Because the Lord's recovery is different from today's religion—deformed and degraded Christianity—it is impossible for there to be reconciliation between the recovery and Christianity—Matt. 13:31-33, 44-46; Rev. 18:4; 19:1-3, 7-9.

６
我们需要维持主的恢复与基督教之间的鸿沟；这鸿沟越宽大越好，因为这是我们与现今邪恶世代之间的鸿沟─加一4。
We need to maintain the gap between the Lord's recovery and Christianity; the wider this gap is, the better, because it is a gap between us and the present evil age—Gal. 1:4.
