神的靈住在我們心裏我們就屬聖靈 — 羅馬書讀經隨筆 第8章

羅馬書第八章，保羅在第九節說如果神的靈住在我們心裏，我們就不屬肉體，乃屬聖靈了；相反，一個人若沒有基督的靈，他就不是屬基督的。這樣，我們在基督耶穌裏的人因為有聖靈住在心裏而不被定罪，聖靈給予了生命，並且釋放了我們，使我們脫離了罪和死。肉體由於軟弱不能遵守全部律法，神就差遣了自己的兒子道成肉身，成為罪身的樣子，死在十字架上，作了我們的贖罪祭，這樣神把我們不能遵守律法的罪懲罰在他兒子耶穌的肉身上，使我們的罪得以赦免。因為基督的靈在我們心裏，我們有聖靈可以隨從，所以身體就因罪而死，也就是說我們靠著聖靈治死了身體的惡行，而心靈卻因義而活。

羅8:1 如今那些在基督耶穌裏的、就不定罪了。
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
羅8:2 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。
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
羅8:3 律法既因肉體軟弱、有所不能行的、 神就差遣自己的兒子、成為罪身的形狀、作了贖罪祭、在肉體中定了罪案．
For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
羅8:4 使律法的義、成就在我們這不隨從肉體、隻隨從聖靈的人身上。
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
羅8:5 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。
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
羅8:6 體貼肉體的就是死．體貼聖靈的乃是生命平安．
For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
羅8:7 原來體貼肉體的、就是與 神為仇．因為不服 神的律法、也是不能服。
because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
羅8:8 而且屬肉體的人、不能得 神的喜歡。
Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
羅8:9 如果 神的靈住在你們心裏、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。
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
羅8:10 基督若在你們心裏、身體就因罪而死、心靈卻因義而活．
If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
羅8:11 然而叫耶穌從死裏複活者的靈、若住在你們心裏、那叫基督耶穌從死裏複活的、也必借著住在你們心裏的聖靈、使你們必死的身體又活過來。
But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
羅8:12 弟兄們、這樣看來、我們並不是欠肉體的債、去順從肉體活著。
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
羅8:13 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。
For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
羅8:14 因為凡被 神的靈引導的、都是 神的兒子。
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
羅8:15 你們所受的不是奴仆的心、仍舊害怕．所受的乃是兒子的心、因此我們呼叫阿爸、父。
For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"
