在圣灵里的生活

1如今，那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。

2因为赐生命圣灵的律，在基督耶稣里释放了我，使我脱离罪和死的律了。

3律法既因肉体软弱，有所不能行的， 神就差遣自己的儿子，成为罪身的形状，作了赎罪祭，在肉体中定了罪案，

4使律法的义成就在我们这不随从肉体、只随从圣灵的人身上。

5因为，随从肉体的人体贴肉体的事；随从圣灵的人体贴圣灵的事。

6体贴肉体的，就是死；体贴圣灵的，乃是生命、平安。

7原来体贴肉体的，就是与 神为仇；因为不服 神的律法，也是不能服，

8而且属肉体的人不能得 神的喜欢。

9如果 神的灵住在你们心里，你们就不属肉体，乃属圣灵了。人若没有基督的灵，就不是属基督的。

10基督若在你们心里，身体就因罪而死，心灵却因义而活。

11然而，叫耶稣从死里复活者的灵若住在你们心里，那叫基督耶稣从死里复活的，也必借着住在你们心里的圣灵，使你们必死的身体又活过来。

12弟兄们，这样看来，我们并不是欠肉体的债去顺从肉体活着。

13你们若顺从肉体活着，必要死；若靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行，必要活着。

14因为凡被 神的灵引导的，都是 神的儿子。

15你们所受的，不是奴仆的心，仍旧害怕；所受的，乃是儿子的心，因此我们呼叫：「阿爸！父！」

16圣灵与我们的心同证我们是 神的儿女；

17既是儿女，便是后嗣，就是 神的后嗣，和基督同作后嗣。如果我们和他一同受苦，也必和他一同得荣耀。

将来的荣耀

18我想，现在的苦楚若比起将来要显于我们的荣耀就不足介意了。

19受造之物切望等候 神的众子显出来。

20因为受造之物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

21但受造之物仍然指望脱离败坏的辖制，得享神儿女自由的荣耀。

22我们知道，一切受造之物一同叹息，劳苦，直到如今。

23不但如此，就是我们这有圣灵初结果子的，也是自己心里叹息，等候得着儿子的名分，乃是我们的身体得赎。

24我们得救是在乎盼望；只是所见的盼望不是盼望，谁还盼望他所见的呢？

25但我们若盼望那所不见的，就必忍耐等候。

26况且，我们的软弱有圣灵帮助；我们本不晓得当怎样祷告，只是圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祷告。

27鉴察人心的，晓得圣灵的意思，因为圣灵照着 神的旨意替圣徒祈求。

28我们晓得万事都互相效力，叫爱 神的人得益处，就是按他旨意被召的人。

29因为他预先所知道的人，就预先定下效法他儿子的模样，使他儿子在许多弟兄中作长子。

30预先所定下的人又召他们来；所召来的人又称他们为义；所称为义的人又叫他们得荣耀。

神的爱

31既是这样，还有什么说的呢？ 神若帮助我们，谁能敌挡我们呢？

32神既不爱惜自己的儿子，为我们众人舍了，岂不也把万物和他一同白白地赐给我们吗？

33谁能控告 神所拣选的人呢？有 神称他们为义了。

34谁能定他们的罪呢？有基督耶稣已经死了，而且从死里复活，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？难道是患难吗？是困苦吗？是逼迫吗？是饥饿吗？是赤身露体吗？是危险吗？是刀剑吗？

36如经上所记：我们为你的缘故终日被杀； 人看我们如将宰的羊。

37然而，靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。

38因为我深信无论是死，是生，是天使，是掌权的，是有能的，是现在的事，是将来的事，

39是高处的，是低处的，是别的受造之物，都不能叫我们与 神的爱隔绝；这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的。

1There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

2for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

3for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

4that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

5For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

6for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace;

7because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

8for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

9And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ — this one is not His;

10and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,

11and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.

12So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

13for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

14for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

15for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba — Father.'

16The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

17and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

18For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;

19for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

20for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] — in hope,

21that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;

22for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

23And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting — the redemption of our body;

24for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?

25and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].

26And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

27and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.

28And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

29because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

30and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

31What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?

32He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

33Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,

34who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God — who also doth intercede for us.

35Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36(according as it hath been written — 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

37but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

38for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

39nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
