Romans 8

1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

1 如今，那些在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了。

2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

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 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

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 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

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 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

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 The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

6 体贴肉体的，就是死；体贴圣灵的，乃是生命、平安。

7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

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 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

8 而且属肉体的人不能得 神的喜欢。

9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

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 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

10 基督若在你们心里，身体就因罪而死，心灵却因义而活。

11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

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 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

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 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

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 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

14 因为凡被 神的灵引导的，都是 神的儿子。

15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

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 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

16 圣灵与我们的心同证我们是 神的儿女；

17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

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。

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.

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 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.

19 受造之物切望等候 神的众子显出来。

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

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 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

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 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.

22 我们知道，一切受造之物一同叹息，劳苦，直到如今。

23 Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

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 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

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 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

25 但我们若盼望那所不见的，就必忍耐等候。

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

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 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

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 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

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 For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

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 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.

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。

31 What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

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 He who 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?

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 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

33 谁能控告 神所拣选的人呢？有 神称他们为义了 。

34 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

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 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

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 As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

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 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

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 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

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 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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。
