Westminster Larger Catechism: On the Three Uses of the Law
第93问．道德律是什么？
Question 93: What is the moral law?
答﹕道德律是上帝宣告祂对人类旨意的内容。这道德律指挥并约束每个人各别、完全、持续地将全人身心献上，使他顺服这道德律，行出一切他向上帝和世人当尽的本分，就是圣洁与公义。人若遵守它，上帝应许他必得生；人若违背它，上帝警告他必要死。
Answer: The moral law is the declaration of the will of God to mankind, directing and binding everyone to personal, perfect, and perpetual conformity and obedience thereunto, in the frame and disposition of the whole man, soul and body, and in performance of all those duties of holiness and righteousness which he owes to God and man: promising life upon the fulfilling, and threatening death upon the breach of it.

第94问．堕落之后，道德律对人还有用吗？
Question 94: Is there any use of the moral law to man since the fall?
答﹕堕落之后，没有人能靠道德律得到公义和生命；但道德律仍然大有用处，而且对所有的人都有用；不管是未重生的人，还是已重生的人，都是如此。
Answer: Although no man, since the fall, can attain to righteousness and life by the moral law; yet there is great use thereof, as well common to all men, as peculiar either to the unregenerate, or the regenerate.

提前I Tim. 1:8
第95问．道德律对所有的人有什么用处？
Question 95: Of what use is the moral law to all men?
答﹕（一）让人知道上帝圣洁帝属性和旨意，也知道自己有责任要遵行；
（二）让人确信自己没有能力遵行，也确信自己帝性情、心灵和生命都被罪玷污；
（三）让人因为体会自己有罪而痛苦，以致愿意谦卑下来，由此帮助他们更清
楚体认自己需要基督，也需要完全顺服基督。
Answer: The moral law is of use to all men, to inform them of the holy nature and will of God, and of their duty, binding them to walk accordingly; to convince them of their disability to keep it, and of the sinful pollution of their nature, hearts, and lives; to humble them in the sense of their sin and misery, and thereby help them to a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ, and of the perfection of his obedience.

第96问．对未重生的人，道德律有什么特别的用处？
Question 96: What particular use is there of the moral law to unregenerate men?
答﹕（一）唤醒他们的良知，使他们逃离将来的忿怒，
（二）使他们归向基督，
（三）如果他们继续处于罪境之中，继续行罪路，就使他们无可推诿，处于罪
的咒诅之下。
Answer: The moral law is of use to unregenerate men, to awaken their consciences to flee from wrath to come, and to drive them to Christ; or, upon their continuance in the estate and way of sin, to leave them inexcusable, and under the curse thereof.

第97问．对已重生的人，道德律有什么特别的用处？
Question 97: What special use is there of the moral law to the regenerate?
答﹕对已经重生、归信基督的人，虽然道德律对他们已经不再是行为之约，他们既不因之称义，也不因之定罪，但是道德律除了对每个人都有用之外，对已经重生、归信基督的人还有特别的用处，就是﹕
- 向他们显明基督既然为他们的益处成全道德律，替他们受咒诅，他们应该与基督何等紧密相连；
- 藉此使他们更加感恩；
- 使他们更加谨慎，使自己的行为更符合道德律的标准。
Answer: Although they that are regenerate, and believe in Christ, be delivered from the moral law as a covenant of works, so as thereby they are neither justified nor condemned; yet, besides the general uses thereof common to them with all men, it is of special use, to show them: How much they are bound to Christ for his fulfilling it, and enduring the curse thereof in their stead, and for their good; and thereby to provoke them to more thankfulness, and to express the same in their greater care to conform themselves thereunto as the rule of their obedience.
