羅馬書 8

在聖靈裏的生活

1 如今，那些在基督耶穌裏的就不定罪了。 2 因為賜生命聖靈的律，在基督耶穌裏釋放了我，使我脫離罪和死的律了。 3 律法既因肉體軟弱，有所不能行的，上帝就差遣自己的兒子，成為罪身的形狀，作了贖罪祭，在肉體中定了罪案， 4 使律法的義成就在我們這不隨從肉體、只隨從聖靈的人身上。 5 因為，隨從肉體的人體貼肉體的事；隨從聖靈的人體貼聖靈的事。 6 體貼肉體的，就是死；體貼聖靈的，乃是生命、平安。 7 原來體貼肉體的，就是與上帝為仇；因為不服上帝的律法，也是不能服， 8 而且屬肉體的人不能得上帝的喜歡。 9 如果上帝的靈住在你們心裏，你們就不屬肉體，乃屬聖靈了。人若沒有基督的靈，就不是屬基督的。 10 基督若在你們心裏，身體就因罪而死，心靈卻因義而活。 11 然而，叫耶穌從死裏復活者的靈若住在你們心裏，那叫基督耶穌從死裏復活的，也必藉著住在你們心裏的聖靈，使你們必死的身體又活過來。

12 弟兄們，這樣看來，我們並不是欠肉體的債去順從肉體活著。 13 你們若順從肉體活著，必要死；若靠著聖靈治死身體的惡行，必要活著。 14 因為凡被上帝的靈引導的，都是上帝的兒子。 15 你們所受的，不是奴僕的心，仍舊害怕；所受的，乃是兒子的心，因此我們呼叫：「阿爸！父！」 16 聖靈與我們的心同證我們是上帝的兒女； 17 既是兒女，便是後嗣，就是上帝的後嗣，和基督同作後嗣。如果我們和他一同受苦，也必和他一同得榮耀。

將來的榮耀

18 我想，現在的苦楚若比起將來要顯於我們的榮耀就不足介意了。 19 受造之物切望等候上帝的眾子顯出來。 20 因為受造之物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，乃是因那叫他如此的。 21 但受造之物仍然指望脫離敗壞的轄制，得享t上帝兒女自由的榮耀。 22 我們知道，一切受造之物一同歎息，勞苦，直到如今。 23 不但如此，就是我們這有聖靈初結果子的，也是自己心裏歎息，等候得著兒子的名分，乃是我們的身體得贖。 24 我們得救是在乎盼望；只是所見的盼望不是盼望，誰還盼望他所見的呢t？ 25 但我們若盼望那所不見的，就必忍耐等候。

26 況且，我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助；我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的歎息替我們禱告。 27 鑒察人心的，曉得聖靈的意思，因為聖靈照著上帝的旨意替聖徒祈求。 28 我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛上帝的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。 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。 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。

上帝的愛

31 既是這樣，還有甚麼說的呢？上帝若幫助我們，誰能敵擋我們呢？ 32 上帝既不愛惜自己的兒子，為我們眾人捨了，豈不也把萬物和他一同白白地賜給我們嗎？ 33 誰能控告上帝所揀選的人呢？有上帝稱他們為義了t。 34 誰能定他們的罪呢？有基督耶穌已經死了，而且從死裏復活，現今在上帝的右邊，也替我們祈求t。 35 誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？難道是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是逼迫嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？ 36 如經上所記： 我們為你的緣故終日被殺； 人看我們如將宰的羊。

37 然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。 38 因為我深信無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是有能的，是現在的事，是將來的事， 39 是高處的，是低處的，是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與上帝的愛隔絕；這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裏的。

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.
