29是創世前的預知和預定
30是對應創世前預知和預定的時空中的事
所以30的預定,就是指29句的人效法耶穌。
一一對應,合理省略。:))
看29句:
1. 神預知(潛在的)信徒:因為他預先所知道的人,
2. 神預定人(信徒)的得救道路“就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣,使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子
明明白白,清清楚楚。:)
看30句:借着29句的預知和預定,在時空中呼召,稱義,得榮耀。30句不是改變29句的內容,而恰恰是接着29句的合理省略。:)))
29因為他預先所知道的人,就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣,使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30預先所定下的人又召他們來。所召來的人,又稱他們為義。所稱為義的人,又叫他們得榮耀。And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
即
29因為他預先所知道的人,就預先定下(他預先所知道的人)效法他兒子的模樣,使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30預先所定下((他預先所知道的)效法他兒子的模樣)的人又召他們來。所召來的人,又稱他們為義。所稱為義的人,又叫他們得榮耀。And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
