摘要

本文簡要地論述了阿奎那關於神法及其與自然法的關係的學說。其主要點可歸納為：神法是自然法和人法的補充，它是天主直接頒佈給人類的法律，可分為舊法和新法；舊法是一種教化方法，其作用是促使猶太人不要忘記自然法；舊法的道德條規特別是十誡本身屬於自然法；新法是福音的法律，自由的法律，愛的法律，其最終目的是讓人直接看見天主，從而得享永恆的圓滿的幸福。

The article deals briefly with the doctrine of Thomas Aquinas on the Divine Law and its relationship with Natural Law. Its main points can be summed up as follows: the Divine Law, which is given directly to human beings by God, and which is a supplement of Natural and Human Law, may be divided into Old Law and New Law; as Pedagogue, the Old Law's function is to order Jews not forget natural law; the moral precepts of the Old Law, especially the Decalogue, belongs to the Natural Law; the New Law is the law of the Gospel, the law of liberty and the law of love, whose ultimate end is such that human beings can see God directly and therefore enjoy the eternal and perfect happiness.
