羅馬書 7

弟兄們，我現在對明白律法的人說，你們豈不曉得律法管人是在活着的時候嗎？

dì xiong men ， wǒ xiàn zài duì míng bái lǜ fǎ de rén shuō ， nǐ men qǐ bù xiǎo de lǜ fǎ guǎn rén shì zài huó zhe de shí hòu ma ？

Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?

就如女人有了丈夫，丈夫還活着，就被律法約束；丈夫若死了，就脫離了丈夫的律法。

jiù rú nǚ rén yǒu le zhàng fu ， zhàng fu hái huó zhe ， jiù bèi lǜ fǎ yuē shù ； zhàng fu ruò sǐ le ， jiù tuō lí le zhàng fu de lǜ fǎ 。

For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

所以丈夫活着，她若歸於別人，便叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了丈夫的律法，雖然歸於別人，也不是淫婦。

suǒ yǐ zhàng fu huó zhe ， tā ruò guī yú bié rén ， biàn jiào yín fù ； zhàng fu ruò sǐ le ， tā jiù tuō lí le zhàng fu de lǜ fǎ ， suī rán guī yú bié rén ， yě bú shì yín fù 。

So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

我的弟兄們，這樣說來，你們藉着基督的身體，在律法上也是死了，叫你們歸於別人，就是歸於那從死裏復活的，叫我們結果子給上帝。

wǒ de dì xiong men ， zhè yàng shuō lái ， nǐ men jiè zhe jī dū de shēn tǐ ， zài lǜ fǎ shàng yě shì sǐ le ， jiào nǐ men guī yú bié rén ， jiù shì guī yú nà cóng sǐ lǐ fù huó de ， jiào wǒ men jié guǒ zǐ gěi shén 。

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生的惡慾就在我們肢體中發動，以致結成死亡的果子。

yīn wèi wǒ men shǔ ròu tǐ de shí hòu ， nà yīn lǜ fǎ ér shēng de è yù jiù zài wǒ men zhī tǐ zhōng fā dòng ， yǐ zhì jié chéng sǐ wáng de guǒ zǐ 。

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

但我們既然在捆我們的律法上死了，現今就脫離了律法，叫我們服事主，要按着心靈 的新樣，不按着儀文的舊樣。

dàn wǒ men jì rán zài kǔn wǒ men de lǜ fǎ shàng sǐ le ， xiàn jīn jiù tuō lí le lǜ fǎ ， jiào wǒ men fú shì zhǔ ， yào àn zhe xīn líng de xīn yàng ， bú àn zhe yí wén de jiù yàng 。

But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

這樣，我們可說甚麼呢？律法是罪嗎？斷乎不是！只是非因律法，我就不知何為罪。非律法說「不可起貪心」，我就不知何為貪心。

zhè yàng ， wǒ men kě shuō shén me ne ？ lǜ fǎ shì zuì ma ？ duàn hū bú shì ！ zhǐ shì fēi yīn lǜ fǎ ， wǒ jiù bù zhī hé wèi zuì 。 fēi lǜ fǎ shuō 「 bù kě qǐ tān xīn 」， wǒ jiù bù zhī hé wèi tān xīn 。

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

然而，罪趁着機會， 就藉着誡命叫諸般的貪心在我裏頭發動；因為沒有律法，罪是死的。

rán ér ， zuì chèn zhe jī huì ， jiù jiè zhe jiè mìng jiào zhū bān de tān xīn zài wǒ lǐ tóu fa dòng ； yīn wèi méi yǒu lǜ fǎ ， zuì shì sǐ de 。

But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

我以前沒有律法是活着的；但是誡命來到，罪又活了，我就死了。

wǒ yǐ qián méi yǒu lǜ fǎ shì huó zhe de ； dàn shì jiè mìng lái dào ， zuì yòu huó le ， wǒ jiù sǐ le 。

I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

那本來叫人活的誡命，反倒叫我死；

nà běn lái jiào rén huó de jiè mìng ， fǎn dǎo jiào wǒ sǐ ；

The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;

因為罪趁着機會， 就藉着誡命引誘我，並且殺了我。

yīn wèi zuì chèn zhe jī huì ， jiù jiè zhe jiè mìng yǐn yòu wǒ ， bìng qiě shā le wǒ 。

for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

這樣看來，律法是聖潔的，誡命也是聖潔、公義、良善的。

zhè yàng kàn lái ， lǜ fǎ shì shèng jié de ， jiè mìng yě shì shèng jié 、 gōng yì 、 liáng shàn de 。

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

既然如此，那良善的是叫我死嗎？斷乎不是！叫我死的乃是罪。但罪藉着那良善的叫我死，就顯出真是罪，叫罪因着誡命更顯出是惡極了。

jì rán rú cǐ ， nà liáng shàn de shì jiào wǒ sǐ ma ？ duàn hū bú shì ！ jiào wǒ sǐ de nǎi shì zuì 。 dàn zuì jiè zhe nà liáng shàn de jiào wǒ sǐ ， jiù xiǎn chū zhēn shì zuì ， jiào zuì yīn zhe jiè mìng gèng xiǎn chū shì è jí le 。

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

我們原曉得律法是屬乎靈的，但我是屬乎肉體的，是已經賣給罪了。

wǒ men yuán xiǎo de lǜ fǎ shì shǔ hū líng de ， dàn wǒ shì shǔ hū ròu tǐ de ， shì yǐ jīng mài gěi zuì le 。

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

因為我所做的，我自己不明白；我所願意的，我並不做；我所恨惡的，我倒去做。

yīn wèi wǒ suǒ zuò de ， wǒ zì jǐ bù míng bái ； wǒ suǒ yuàn yì de ， wǒ bìng bú zuò ； wǒ suǒ hèn è de ， wǒ dǎo qù zuò 。

For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

若我所做的，是我所不願意的，我就應承律法是善的。

ruò wǒ suǒ zuò de ， shì wǒ suǒ bú yuàn yì de ， wǒ jiù yìng chéng lǜ fǎ shì shàn de 。

But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

既是這樣，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裏頭的罪做的。

jì shì zhè yàng ， jiù bú shì wǒ zuò de ， nǎi shì zhù zài wǒ lǐ tou de zuì zuò de 。

So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

我也知道，在我裏頭，就是我肉體之中，沒有良善。因為，立志為善由得我，只是行出來由不得我。

wǒ yě zhī dào ， zài wǒ lǐ tou ， jiù shì wǒ ròu tǐ zhī zhōng ， méi yǒu liáng shàn 。 yīn wèi ， lì zhì wèi shàn yóu dé wǒ ， zhǐ shì xíng chū lái yóu bù dé wǒ 。

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

故此，我所願意的善，我反不做；我所不願意的惡，我倒去做。

gù cǐ ， wǒ suǒ yuàn yì de shàn ， wǒ fǎn bú zuò ； wǒ suǒ bú yuàn yì de è ， wǒ dǎo qù zuò 。

For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

若我去做所不願意做的，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裏頭的罪做的。

ruò wǒ qù zuò suǒ bú yuàn yì zuò de ， jiù bú shì wǒ zuò de ， nǎi shì zhù zài wǒ lǐ tou de zuì zuò de 。

But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

我覺得有個律，就是我願意為善的時候，便有惡與我同在。

wǒ jué dé yǒu gè lǜ ， jiù shì wǒ yuàn yì wèi shàn de shí hòu ， biàn yǒu è yǔ wǒ tóng zài 。

I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

因為按着我裏面的意思 ，我是喜歡上帝的律；

yīn wèi àn zhe wǒ lǐ miàn de yì sī ， wǒ shì xǐ huan shén de lǜ ；

For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,

但我覺得肢體中另有個律和我心中的律交戰，把我擄去，叫我附從那肢體中犯罪的律。

dàn wǒ jué de zhī tǐ zhōng lìng yǒu gè lǜ hé wǒ xīn zhōng de lǜ jiāo zhàn ， bǎ wǒ lǔ qù ， jiào wǒ fù cóng nà zhī tǐ zhōng fàn zuì de lǜ 。

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

我真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這取死的身體呢？

wǒ zhēn shì kǔ a ！ shuí néng jiù wǒ tuō lí zhè qǔ sǐ de shēn tǐ ne ？

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

感謝上帝，靠着我們的主耶穌基督就能脫離了。這樣看來，我以內心順服上帝的律，我肉體卻順服罪的律了。

gǎn xiè shén ， kào zhe wǒ men de zhǔ yē sū jī dū jiù néng tuō lí le 。 zhè yàng kàn lái ， wǒ yǐ nèi xīn shùn fú shén de lǜ ， wǒ ròu tǐ què shùn fú zuì de lǜ le 。

I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.
