在原文，约与遗命同字：
In Greek the same word is used for both covenant and testament:
In Greek the same word is used for both covenant and testament:
一
约和遗命相同；只是立约者还活着时，那就是约；他若死了，那就是遗命；用今天的话来说，遗命就是遗嘱。
A covenant and a testament are the same, but when the maker of the covenant is living, it is a covenant, and when he has died, it is a testament; a testament in today's terms is a will.

二
约是合同，带着一些应许，要为受约的人成就一些事；遗命是遗书，带着一些已成就的事物，遗赠给承受的人─来九16~17，参申十一29，二八1，15，耶三一31~32。
A covenant is an agreement containing some promises to accomplish certain things for the covenanted people, while a testament is a will containing certain accomplished things that are bequeathed to the inheritor—Heb. 9:16-17; cf. Deut. 11:29; 28:1, 15; Jer. 31:31-32.

旧约，律法，乃是神的见证，神的照片，给我们看见神是谁，并且暴露人、征服人，并将神的选民引到基督─诗七八5，一一九88下，创一26，罗三19~20，加三23~25，约十9~10。
The old covenant, the law, is the testimony of God, the portrait of God, showing us who God is and exposing man, subduing man, and conducting God's chosen ones to Christ—Psa. 78:5; 119:88b; Gen. 1:26; Rom. 3:19-20; Gal. 3:23-25; John 10:9-10.

三
在新约里，神将祂自己放在祂所拣选的人里面，作他们的生命；并且这生命是一个律，就是一种自然的能力和自动的法则─来八10，罗八2。
In the new covenant God puts Himself into His chosen people as their life, and this life is a law, a spontaneous power and an automatic principle—Heb. 8:10; Rom. 8:2.

Christ Himself is the new covenant, the new testament, of life given to us by God—Isa. 42:6; 49:8; Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 8:8-12:
一
基督借着死，满足了神按着祂律法公义的要求，立了新约（罗六23，三21，十3~4，路二二20，来九16~17），并且在复活里祂成了新约连同其一切遗赠（林前十五45下，赛四二6，腓一19）。
Through His death Christ fulfilled the demands of God's righteousness according to His law and enacted the new covenant (Rom. 6:23; 3:21; 10:3-4; Luke 22:20; Heb. 9:16-17), and in His resurrection He became the new covenant with all its bequests (1 Cor. 15:45b; Isa. 42:6; Phil. 1:19).

基督是新遗命的实际，也就是神一切所是的实际，并神一切所赐的实际；所以，基督就是新遗命。
Christ is the reality of the new testament, the reality of all that God is and of all that God has given to us; therefore, Christ is the new testament.
Christ is the reality of the new testament, the reality of all that God is and of all that God has given to us; therefore, Christ is the new testament.
３
遗赠有许多，但这许多的遗赠实际上是一个人位，就是那是灵的基督；神已经立遗命，将祂自己在基督里作为那灵赐给我们─约二十22，弗三8。
The bequests are many, but all these many bequests are actually one person—the pneumatic Christ; God has willed Himself in Christ as the Spirit to us—John 20:22; Eph. 3:8.

Isaiah 55 reveals the resurrected Christ as God's sure mercies shown to David—v. 3:
Isaiah 55 reveals the resurrected Christ as God's sure mercies shown to David—v. 3:
一
在行传十三章三十四节，保罗将神确定的怜悯解释为“大卫那圣的，那可靠的”；然后在三十三和三十五节，他指明这圣的、可靠的事物，就是复活的基督自己，作为神的长子并作为那圣者。
In Acts 13:34 Paul interprets the sure mercies as "the holy things of David, the faithful things," and in verses 33 and 35 he indicates that these things are the resurrected Christ Himself as the firstborn Son of God and as the Holy One.

This is also confirmed by Isaiah 55:4, which reveals that the sure mercies are Christ Himself as the Witness, Leader, and Commander to the peoples.

The resurrected Christ as the seed of David (Rom. 1:3-4) is God's sure mercies shown to David through his descendant Mary, the mother of Christ (Matt. 1:16), for the dispens-ing of Christ into all His believers (1 Cor. 15:45b).

“喂！你们一切干渴的都当就近水来，没有银钱的也可以来；你们都来，买了吃；不用银钱，不用价值，也来买酒和奶。你们为何花钱买那不是食物的，用劳碌得来的买那不能使人饱足的呢？你们要留意听我的话，就能吃那美物，使你们的魂享肥甘得喜乐。你们要到我这里来，侧耳而听，你们的魂就必得活；我必与你们立永远的约，就是向大卫所显确定的怜悯”─1~3节：
"Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, / And you who have no money; / Come, buy and eat; / Yes, come, buy wine and milk / Without money and without price. / Why do you spend money for what is not bread, / And the result of your labor for what does not satisfy? / Hear Me attentively, and eat what is good, / And let your soul delight itself in fatness. / Incline your ear and come to Me; / Hear, so that your soul may live; / And I will make an eternal covenant with you, / Even the sure mercies shown to David"—vv. 1-3:

２
恶人的邪恶光景，乃是他们没有就近主来吃主并享受主；他们作许多事，却不来接触主，取用祂，接受祂，尝祂并享受祂；在神眼中，没有比这更邪恶的事─耶二13，赛五五7，五七20。
The evil condition of the wicked is that they do not come to the Lord to eat and enjoy the Lord; they do many things, but they do not come to contact the Lord, to take Him, to receive Him, to taste Him, and to enjoy Him; in the sight of God nothing is more evil than this—Jer. 2:13; Isa. 55:7; 57:20.

We need to exalt Him in our inward being as God's faithful Witness and the Head of the Body so that He may head up the fallen universe, the universal "heap of col-lapse"—Rev. 1:5; Acts 1:8; Eph. 1:10, 22-23.

“耶和华说，我的意念并非你们的意念，你们的道路并非我的道路。天怎样高过地，照样我的道路高过你们的道路，我的意念高过你们的意念。就如雨雪从天而降，并不返回，却滋润地土，使地发芽结实，使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮；我口所出的话也必如此，绝不徒然返回，却要成就我所喜悦的，在我所打发去成就的事上必然亨通”─赛五五8~11：
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, / And your ways are not My ways, declares Jehovah. / For as the heavens are higher than the earth, / So My ways are higher than your ways, / And My thoughts higher than your thoughts. / For just as the rain comes down / And the snow from heaven, / And does not return there, / Until it waters the earth / And makes it bear and sprout forth, / That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater; / So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; / It will not return to Me vainly, / But it will accomplish what I delight in, / And it will prosper in the matter to which I have sent it"—Isa. 55:8-11:

"For you will go out with rejoicing, / And you will be led forth in peace; / The mountains and the hills / Will break forth before you with a ringing shout, / And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. / In place of the thornbush, the fir tree will come up; / In place of the brier, the myrtle will come up; / And it will be to Jehovah as a name, / As an eternal sign that will not be cut off"—Isa. 55:12-13:
