罗马书 8

圣灵使人脱离罪的律得自由

1 所以现在，那些在耶稣基督里的人就不被定罪了；2 因为生命之灵的律在基督耶稣里使我自由，脱离了罪和死的律。3 律法是因肉体而软弱无力，所作不到的， 神作到了：他差遣自己的儿子成为罪身的样式，为了除掉罪，就在肉体中把罪判决了，4 使律法所要求的义，可以在我们这些不随从肉体而随从圣灵去行的人身上实现出来。5 随从肉体的人，以肉体的事为念；随从圣灵的人，以圣灵的事为念。6 以肉体为念就是死，以圣灵为念就是生命、平安；7 因为以肉体为念就是与 神为仇，既不服从 神的律法，也的确不能够服从；8 属肉体的人不能得 神的喜悦。9 神的灵既然住在你们里面，你们就不是属于肉体，而是属于圣灵的了。如果人没有基督的灵，就不是属于基督的。10 基督若在你们里面，你们的身体因着罪的缘故是死的，而圣灵却因着义的缘故赐给你们生命。11 如果那使耶稣从死人中复活者的灵住在你们里面，那使基督从死人中复活的，也必藉着住在你们里面的圣灵，使你们必死的身体活过来。
与基督同作 神的后嗣12 弟兄们，可见我们并不是欠肉体的债，随着肉体而活。13 如果随着肉体而活，你们必定死；如果靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行，你们就必活着。14 因为蒙 神的灵引导的，都是 神的儿子。15 你们接受的，不是奴仆的灵，使你们仍旧惧怕；你们接受的，是使人成为嗣子的灵，使我们呼叫“阿爸、父”。16 圣灵亲自和我们的灵一同证明我们是 神的儿女。17 既然是儿女，就是后嗣；是 神的后嗣，也和基督一同作后嗣。我们既然和他一同受苦，就必和他一同得荣耀。
耐心期待将来的荣耀18 我看现在的苦难，与将要向我们显出的荣耀，是无法相比的。19 被造的万物都热切渴望 神的众子显现出来。20 因为被造的万物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意这样，而是由于使它屈服的那一位；21 被造的万物盼望自己得着释放，脱离败坏的奴役，得着 神儿女荣耀的自由。22 我们知道被造的万物直到现在都一同在痛苦呻吟。23 不但这样，连我们这些有圣灵作为初熟果子的人，自己也在内心歎息，热切期待成为嗣子，就是我们的身体得赎。24 我们得救时就存着这盼望；但是看得见的盼望不是盼望，因为谁会盼望自己看见了的呢？25 但如果我们盼望没有看见的，就会耐心地热切期待。26 照样，圣灵也在我们的软弱上帮助我们。原来我们不晓得应当怎样祷告，但圣灵亲自用不可言喻的歎息，替我们祈求。27 那鉴察人心的，晓得圣灵的心意，因为圣灵照着 神的旨意替圣徒祈求。28 我们知道，为了爱 神的人，就是按他旨意蒙召的人的益处，万事都一同效力。29 因为 神预先知道的人，他就预先命定他们和他儿子的形象一模一样，使他的儿子在许多弟兄中作长子，30 他预先命定的人，又呼召他们；所召来的人，又称他们为义；所称为义的人，又使他们得荣耀。
靠主就得胜有余31 既是这样，我们对这一切还有甚么话说呢？ 神若这样为我们，谁能敌对我们呢？32 他连自己的儿子都舍得，为我们众人把他交出来，难道不也把万有和他一同白白地赐给我们吗？33 谁能控告 神拣选的人呢？有 神称我们为义了。34 谁能定我们的罪呢？有基督耶稣死了，而且复活了，现今在 神的右边，也替我们祈求。35 谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢？是患难吗？是困苦吗？是迫害吗？是饥饿吗？是赤身露体吗？是危险吗？是刀剑吗？36 正如经上所记：
“为你的缘故，我们终日面对死亡，
人看我们像待宰的羊。”37 但靠着爱我们的那一位，我们在这一切事上就得胜有余了。38 因为我深信：无论是死、是生，是天使、是掌权的，是现在的事，是将来的事，是有能力的，39 是高天的、是深渊的，或是任何别的被造之物，都不能叫我们与 神的爱隔绝，这爱是在我们的主耶稣基督里的。

Romans 8

The Believer’s Relationship to the Holy Spirit

1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.s2 For the law of the life-giving Spiritt in Christ Jesus has set yous free from the law of sin and death.3 For God achieved what the law could not do becauset it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped byt the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.6 For the outlookt of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.9 You, however, are not int the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, butt the Spirit is your lifet because of righteousness.

11 Moreover if the Spirit of the ones who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christs from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.s
12 So then,t brothers and sisters,t we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh13 (for if you live according to the flesh, you willt die),s but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God aret the sons of God.15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear,t but you received the Spirit of adoption,t by whomt we cry, “Abba, Father.”16 The Spirit himself bears witness tot our spirit that we are God’s children.

17 And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)t – if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.
18 For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be comparedt to the glory that will be revealed to us.19 For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God.20 For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of Godt who subjected it – in hope21 that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,t groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption,t the redemption of our bodies.t24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.t
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray,t but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.27 And hes who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spiritt intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will.28 And we know that all things work togethers for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Sont would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.t

30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?32 Indeed, he whot did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect?s It is God who justifies.34 Who is the one who will condemn? Christst is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?t36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”s37 No, in all these things we have complete victoryt through himt who loved us!38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers,t nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
