神的灵住在我们心里我们就属圣灵 — 罗马书读经随笔 第8章

罗马书第八章，保罗在第九节说如果神的灵住在我们心里，我们就不属肉体，乃属圣灵了；相反，一个人若没有基督的灵，他就不是属基督的。这样，我们在基督耶稣里的人因为有圣灵住在心里而不被定罪，圣灵给予了生命，并且释放了我们，使我们脱离了罪和死。肉体由于软弱不能遵守全部律法，神就差遣了自己的儿子道成肉身，成为罪身的样子，死在十字架上，作了我们的赎罪祭，这样神把我们不能遵守律法的罪惩罚在他儿子耶稣的肉身上，使我们的罪得以赦免。因为基督的灵在我们心里，我们有圣灵可以随从，所以身体就因罪而死，也就是说我们靠着圣灵治死了身体的恶行，而心灵却因义而活。

罗8:1 如今那些在基督耶稣里的、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.
罗8:2 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。
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
罗8:3 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．
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;
罗8:4 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。
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
罗8:5 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。
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.
罗8:6 体贴肉体的就是死．体贴圣灵的乃是生命平安．
For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
罗8:7 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。
because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
罗8:8 而且属肉体的人、不能得 神的喜欢。
Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
罗8:9 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。
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.
罗8:10 基督若在你们心里、身体就因罪而死、心灵却因义而活．
If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
罗8:11 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。
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.
罗8:12 弟兄们、这样看来、我们并不是欠肉体的债、去顺从肉体活着。
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
罗8:13 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。
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.
罗8:14 因为凡被 神的灵引导的、都是 神的儿子。
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
罗8:15 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。
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!"
