Numbers 11-13
New International Version
Fire From the Lord
11 Now the people complained(A) about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord,(B) and when he heard them his anger was aroused.(C) Then fire from the Lord burned among them(D) and consumed(E) some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed(F) to the Lord(G) and the fire died down. 3 So that place was called Taberah,[a](H) because fire from the Lord had burned among them.(I)
Quail From the Lord
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,(J) and again the Israelites started wailing(K) and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(L) 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(M)”
7 The manna was like coriander seed(N) and looked like resin.(O) 8 The people went around gathering it,(P) and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dew(Q) settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.
10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing(R) at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this trouble(S) on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?(T) 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant,(U) to the land you promised on oath(V) to their ancestors?(W) 13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(X) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(Y) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(Z)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
16 The Lord said to Moses: “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders(AA) who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.(AB) Have them come to the tent of meeting,(AC) that they may stand there with you. 17 I will come down and speak with you(AD) there, and I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them.(AE) They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone.(AF)
18 “Tell the people: ‘Consecrate yourselves(AG) in preparation for tomorrow, when you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you wailed,(AH) “If only we had meat to eat! We were better off in Egypt!”(AI) Now the Lord will give you meat,(AJ) and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it(AK)—because you have rejected the Lord,(AL) who is among you, and have wailed before him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”(AM)
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men(AN) on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”(AO)
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?(AP) Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.(AQ)”
24 So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. He brought together seventy of their elders and had them stand around the tent. 25 Then the Lord came down in the cloud(AR) and spoke with him,(AS) and he took some of the power of the Spirit(AT) that was on him and put it on the seventy elders.(AU) When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied(AV)—but did not do so again.
26 However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them,(AW) and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
28 Joshua son of Nun,(AX) who had been Moses’ aide(AY) since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!”(AZ)
29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets(BA) and that the Lord would put his Spirit(BB) on them!”(BC) 30 Then Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(BD) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[b] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[c] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(BE) and before it could be consumed, the anger(BF) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(BG) 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[d](BH) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth(BI) and stayed there.
Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses
12 Miriam(BJ) and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife,(BK) for he had married a Cushite. 2 “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?”(BL) And the Lord heard this.(BM)
3 (Now Moses was a very humble man,(BN) more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
4 At once the Lord said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.” So the three of them went out. 5 Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud;(BO) he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward, 6 he said, “Listen to my words:
“When there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, reveal(BP) myself to them in visions,(BQ)
I speak to them in dreams.(BR)
7 But this is not true of my servant Moses;(BS)
he is faithful in all my house.(BT)
8 With him I speak face to face,
clearly and not in riddles;(BU)
he sees the form of the Lord.(BV)
Why then were you not afraid
to speak against my servant Moses?”(BW)
9 The anger of the Lord burned against them,(BX) and he left them.(BY)
10 When the cloud lifted from above the tent,(BZ) Miriam’s skin was leprous[e]—it became as white as snow.(CA) Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,(CB) 11 and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.(CC) 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, “Please, God, heal her!(CD)”
14 The Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face,(CE) would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp(CF) for seven days; after that she can be brought back.” 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp(CG) for seven days,(CH) and the people did not move on till she was brought back.
16 After that, the people left Hazeroth(CI) and encamped in the Desert of Paran.(CJ)
Exploring Canaan
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Send some men to explore(CK) the land of Canaan,(CL) which I am giving to the Israelites.(CM) From each ancestral tribe(CN) send one of its leaders.”
3 So at the Lord’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites.(CO) 4 These are their names:
from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zakkur;
5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;(CP)
7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;(CQ)
9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
16 These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore(CR) the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun(CS) the name Joshua.)(CT)
17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan,(CU) he said, “Go up through the Negev(CV) and on into the hill country.(CW) 18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified? 20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.(CX)” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)(CY)
21 So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin(CZ) as far as Rehob,(DA) toward Lebo Hamath.(DB) 22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron,(DC) where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai,(DD) the descendants of Anak,(DE) lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)(DF) 23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol,[f](DG) they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates(DH) and figs.(DI) 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days(DJ) they returned from exploring the land.(DK)
Report on the Exploration
26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh(DL) in the Desert of Paran.(DM) There they reported to them(DN) and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.(DO) 27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!(DP) Here is its fruit.(DQ) 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large.(DR) We even saw descendants of Anak(DS) there.(DT) 29 The Amalekites(DU) live in the Negev; the Hittites,(DV) Jebusites(DW) and Amorites(DX) live in the hill country;(DY) and the Canaanites(DZ) live near the sea and along the Jordan.(EA)”
30 Then Caleb(EB) silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”(EC) 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report(ED) about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours(EE) those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.(EF) 33 We saw the Nephilim(EG) there (the descendants of Anak(EH) come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers(EI) in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

民 數 記 11-13
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
11 眾 百 姓 發 怨 言 ， 他 們 的 惡 語 達 到 耶 和 華 的 耳 中 。 耶 和 華 聽 見 了 就 怒 氣 發 作 ， 使 火 在 他 們 中 間 焚 燒 ， 直 燒 到 營 的 邊 界 。
2 百 姓 向 摩 西 哀 求 ， 摩 西 祈 求 耶 和 華 ， 火 就 熄 了 。
3 那 地 方 便 叫 做 他 備 拉 ， 因 為 耶 和 華 的 火 燒 在 他 們 中 間 。
4 他 們 中 間 的 閒 雜 人 大 起 貪 慾 的 心 ； 以 色 列 人 又 哭 號 說 ： 誰 給 我 們 肉 吃 呢 ？
5 我 們 記 得 ， 在 埃 及 的 時 候 不 花 錢 就 吃 魚 ， 也 記 得 有 黃 瓜 、 西 瓜 、 韭 菜 、 蔥 、 蒜 。
6 現 在 我 們 的 心 血 枯 竭 了 ， 除 這 嗎 哪 以 外 ， 在 我 們 眼 前 並 沒 有 別 的 東 西 。
7 這 嗎 哪 彷 彿 芫 荽 子 ， 又 好 像 珍 珠 。
8 百 姓 周 圍 行 走 ， 把 嗎 哪 收 起 來 ， 或 用 磨 推 ， 或 用 臼 搗 ， 煮 在 鍋 中 ， 又 做 成 餅 ， 滋 味 好 像 新 油 。
9 夜 間 露 水 降 在 營 中 ， 嗎 哪 也 隨 著 降 下 。
10 摩 西 聽 見 百 姓 ， 各 在 各 家 的 帳 棚 門 口 哭 號 。 耶 和 華 的 怒 氣 便 大 發 作 ， 摩 西 就 不 喜 悅 。
11 摩 西 對 耶 和 華 說 ： 你 為 何 苦 待 僕 人 ？ 我 為 何 不 在 你 眼 前 蒙 恩 ， 竟 把 這 管 理 百 姓 的 重 任 加 在 我 身 上 呢 ？
12 這 百 姓 豈 是 我 懷 的 胎 ， 豈 是 我 生 下 來 的 呢 ？ 你 竟 對 我 說 ： 把 他 們 抱 在 懷 裡 ， 如 養 育 之 父 抱 吃 奶 的 孩 子 ， 直 抱 到 你 起 誓 應 許 給 他 們 祖 宗 的 地 去 。
13 我 從 那 裡 得 肉 給 這 百 姓 吃 呢 ？ 他 們 都 向 我 哭 號 說 ： 你 給 我 們 肉 吃 罷 ！
14 管 理 這 百 姓 的 責 任 太 重 了 ， 我 獨 自 擔 當 不 起 。
15 你 這 樣 待 我 ， 我 若 在 你 眼 前 蒙 恩 ， 求 你 立 時 將 我 殺 了 ， 不 叫 我 見 自 己 的 苦 情 。
16 耶 和 華 對 摩 西 說 ： 你 從 以 色 列 的 長 老 中 招 聚 七 十 個 人 ， 就 是 你 所 知 道 作 百 姓 的 長 老 和 官 長 的 ， 到 我 這 裡 來 ， 領 他 們 到 會 幕 前 ， 使 他 們 和 你 一 同 站 立 。
17 我 要 在 那 裡 降 臨 ， 與 你 說 話 ， 也 要 把 降 於 你 身 上 的 靈 分 賜 他 們 ， 他 們 就 和 你 同 當 這 管 百 姓 的 重 任 ， 免 得 你 獨 自 擔 當 。
18 又 要 對 百 姓 說 ： 你 們 應 當 自 潔 ， 預 備 明 天 吃 肉 ， 因 為 你 們 哭 號 說 ： 誰 給 我 們 肉 吃 ！ 我 們 在 埃 及 很 好 。 這 聲 音 達 到 了 耶 和 華 的 耳 中 ， 所 以 他 必 給 你 們 肉 吃 。
19 你 們 不 止 吃 一 天 、 兩 天 、 五 天 、 十 天 、 二 十 天 ，
20 要 吃 一 個 整 月 ， 甚 至 肉 從 你 們 鼻 孔 裡 噴 出 來 ， 使 你 們 厭 惡 了 ， 因 為 你 們 厭 棄 住 在 你 們 中 間 的 耶 和 華 ， 在 他 面 前 哭 號 說 ： 我 們 為 何 出 了 埃 及 呢 ？
21 摩 西 對 耶 和 華 說 ： 這 與 我 同 住 的 百 姓 、 步 行 的 男 人 有 六 十 萬 ， 你 還 說 ： 我 要 把 肉 給 他 們 ， 使 他 們 可 以 吃 一 個 整 月 。
22 難 道 給 他 們 宰 了 羊 群 牛 群 ， 或 是 把 海 中 所 有 的 魚 都 聚 了 來 ， 就 夠 他 們 吃 麼 ？
23 耶 和 華 對 摩 西 說 ： 耶 和 華 的 膀 臂 豈 是 縮 短 了 麼 ？ 現 在 要 看 我 的 話 向 你 應 驗 不 應 驗 。
24 摩 西 出 去 ， 將 耶 和 華 的 話 告 訴 百 姓 ， 又 招 聚 百 姓 的 長 老 中 七 十 個 人 來 ， 使 他 們 站 在 會 幕 的 四 圍 。
25 耶 和 華 在 雲 中 降 臨 ， 對 摩 西 說 話 ， 把 降 與 他 身 上 的 靈 分 賜 那 七 十 個 長 老 。 靈 停 在 他 們 身 上 的 時 候 ， 他 們 就 受 感 說 話 ， 以 後 卻 沒 有 再 說 。
26 但 有 兩 個 人 仍 在 營 裡 ， 一 個 名 叫 伊 利 達 ， 一 個 名 叫 米 達 。 他 們 本 是 在 那 些 被 錄 的 人 中 ， 卻 沒 有 到 會 幕 那 裡 去 。 靈 停 在 他 們 身 上 ， 他 們 就 在 營 裡 說 預 言 。
27 有 個 少 年 人 跑 來 告 訴 摩 西 說 ： 伊 利 達 、 米 達 在 營 裡 說 預 言 。
28 摩 西 的 幫 手 ， 嫩 的 兒 子 約 書 亞 ， 就 是 摩 西 所 揀 選 的 一 個 人 ， 說 ： 請 我 主 摩 西 禁 止 他 們 。
29 摩 西 對 他 說 ： 你 為 我 的 緣 故 嫉 妒 人 麼 ？ 惟 願 耶 和 華 的 百 姓 都 受 感 說 話 ！ 願 耶 和 華 把 他 的 靈 降 在 他 們 身 上 ！
30 於 是 ， 摩 西 和 以 色 列 的 長 老 都 回 到 營 裡 去 了 。
31 有 風 從 耶 和 華 那 裡 颳 起 ， 把 鵪 鶉 由 海 面 颳 來 ， 飛 散 在 營 邊 和 營 的 四 圍 ； 這 邊 約 有 一 天 的 路 程 ， 那 邊 約 有 一 天 的 路 程 ， 離 地 面 約 有 二 肘 。
32 百 姓 起 來 ， 終 日 終 夜 ， 並 次 日 一 整 天 ， 捕 取 鵪 鶉 ； 至 少 的 也 取 了 十 賀 梅 珥 ， 為 自 己 擺 列 在 營 的 四 圍 。
33 肉 在 他 們 牙 齒 之 間 尚 未 嚼 爛 ， 耶 和 華 的 怒 氣 就 向 他 們 發 作 ， 用 最 重 的 災 殃 擊 殺 了 他 們 。
34 那 地 方 便 叫 做 基 博 羅 哈 他 瓦 （ 就 是 貪 慾 之 人 的 墳 墓 ） ， 因 為 他 們 在 那 裡 葬 埋 那 起 貪 慾 之 心 的 人 。
35 百 姓 從 基 博 羅 哈 他 瓦 走 到 哈 洗 錄 ， 就 住 在 哈 洗 錄 。
12 摩 西 娶 了 古 實 女 子 為 妻 。 米 利 暗 和 亞 倫 因 他 所 娶 的 古 實 女 子 ， 就 毀 謗 他 ， 說 ：
2 難 道 耶 和 華 單 與 摩 西 說 話 ， 不 也 與 我 們 說 話 麼 ？ 這 話 耶 和 華 聽 見 了 。
3 摩 西 為 人 極 其 謙 和 ， 勝 過 世 上 的 眾 人 。
4 耶 和 華 忽 然 對 摩 西 、 亞 倫 、 米 利 暗 說 ： 你 們 三 個 人 都 出 來 ， 到 會 幕 這 裡 。 他 們 三 個 人 就 出 來 了 。
5 耶 和 華 在 雲 柱 中 降 臨 ， 站 在 會 幕 門 口 ， 召 亞 倫 和 米 利 暗 ， 二 人 就 出 來 了 。
6 耶 和 華 說 ： 你 們 且 聽 我 的 話 ： 你 們 中 間 若 有 先 知 ， 我 ─ 耶 和 華 必 在 異 象 中 向 他 顯 現 ， 在 夢 中 與 他 說 話 。
7 我 的 僕 人 摩 西 不 是 這 樣 ； 他 是 在 我 全 家 盡 忠 的 。
8 我 要 與 他 面 對 面 說 話 ， 乃 是 明 說 ， 不 用 謎 語 ， 並 且 他 必 見 我 的 形 像 。 你 們 毀 謗 我 的 僕 人 摩 西 ， 為 何 不 懼 怕 呢 ？
9 耶 和 華 就 向 他 們 二 人 發 怒 而 去 。
10 雲 彩 從 會 幕 上 挪 開 了 ， 不 料 ， 米 利 暗 長 了 大 痲 瘋 ， 有 雪 那 樣 白 ， 亞 倫 一 看 米 利 暗 長 了 大 痲 瘋 ，
11 就 對 摩 西 說 ： 我 主 阿 ， 求 你 不 要 因 我 們 愚 昧 犯 罪 ， 便 將 這 罪 加 在 我 們 身 上 。
12 求 你 不 要 使 他 像 那 出 母 腹 、 肉 已 半 爛 的 死 胎 。
13 於 是 摩 西 哀 求 耶 和 華 說 ： 神 阿 ， 求 你 醫 治 他 ！
14 耶 和 華 對 摩 西 說 ： 他 父 親 若 吐 唾 沫 在 他 臉 上 ， 他 豈 不 蒙 羞 七 天 麼 ？ 現 在 要 把 他 在 營 外 關 鎖 七 天 ， 然 後 才 可 以 領 他 進 來 。
15 於 是 米 利 暗 關 鎖 在 營 外 七 天 。 百 姓 沒 有 行 路 ， 直 等 到 把 米 利 暗 領 進 來 。
16 以 後 百 姓 從 哈 洗 錄 起 行 ， 在 巴 蘭 的 曠 野 安 營 。
13 耶 和 華 曉 諭 摩 西 說 ：
2 你 打 發 人 去 窺 探 我 所 賜 給 以 色 列 人 的 迦 南 地 ， 他 們 每 支 派 中 要 打 發 一 個 人 ， 都 要 作 首 領 的 。
3 摩 西 就 照 耶 和 華 的 吩 咐 ， 從 巴 蘭 的 曠 野 打 發 他 們 去 ； 他 們 都 是 以 色 列 人 的 族 長 。
4 他 們 的 名 字 ： 屬 流 便 支 派 的 有 撒 刻 的 兒 子 沙 母 亞 。
5 屬 西 緬 支 派 的 有 何 利 的 兒 子 的 沙 法 。
6 屬 猶 大 支 派 的 有 耶 孚 尼 的 兒 子 迦 勒 。
7 屬 以 薩 迦 支 派 的 有 約 色 的 兒 子 以 迦 。
8 屬 以 法 蓮 支 派 的 有 嫩 的 兒 子 何 西 阿 。
9 屬 便 雅 憫 支 派 的 有 拉 孚 的 兒 子 帕 提 。
10 屬 西 布 倫 支 派 的 有 梭 底 的 兒 子 迦 疊 。
11 約 瑟 的 子 孫 屬 瑪 拿 西 支 派 的 有 穌 西 的 兒 子 迦 底 。
12 屬 但 支 派 的 有 基 瑪 利 的 兒 子 亞 米 利 。
13 屬 亞 設 支 派 的 有 米 迦 勒 的 兒 子 西 帖 。
14 屬 拿 弗 他 利 支 派 的 有 縛 西 的 兒 子 拿 比 。
15 屬 迦 得 支 派 的 有 瑪 基 的 兒 子 臼 利 。
16 這 就 是 摩 西 所 打 發 窺 探 那 地 之 人 的 名 字 。 摩 西 就 稱 嫩 的 兒 子 何 西 阿 為 約 書 亞 。
17 摩 西 打 發 他 們 去 窺 探 迦 南 地 ， 說 ： 你 們 從 南 地 上 山 地 去 ，
18 看 那 地 如 何 ， 其 中 所 住 的 民 是 強 是 弱 ， 是 多 是 少 ，
19 所 住 之 地 是 好 是 歹 ， 所 住 之 處 是 營 盤 是 堅 城 。
20 又 看 那 地 土 是 肥 美 是 瘠 薄 ， 其 中 有 樹 木 沒 有 。 你 們 要 放 開 膽 量 ， 把 那 地 的 果 子 帶 些 來 。 那 時 正 是 葡 萄 初 熟 的 時 候 。
21 他 們 上 去 窺 探 那 地 ， 從 尋 的 曠 野 到 利 合 ， 直 到 哈 馬 口 。
22 他 們 從 南 地 上 去 ， 到 了 希 伯 崙 ； 在 那 裡 有 亞 衲 族 人 亞 希 幔 、 示 篩 、 撻 買 。 原 來 希 伯 崙 城 被 建 造 比 埃 及 的 鎖 安 城 早 七 年 。
23 他 們 到 了 以 實 各 谷 ， 從 那 裡 砍 了 葡 萄 樹 的 一 枝 ， 上 頭 有 一 掛 葡 萄 ， 兩 個 人 用 杠 抬 著 ， 又 帶 了 些 石 榴 和 無 花 果 來 。
24 因 為 以 色 列 人 從 那 裡 砍 來 的 那 掛 葡 萄 ， 所 以 那 地 方 叫 做 以 實 各 谷 。
25 過 了 四 十 天 ， 他 們 窺 探 那 地 才 回 來 ，
26 到 了 巴 蘭 曠 野 的 加 低 斯 ， 見 摩 西 、 亞 倫 ， 並 以 色 列 的 全 會 眾 ， 回 報 摩 西 、 亞 倫 ， 並 全 會 眾 ， 又 把 那 地 的 果 子 給 他 們 看 ；
27 又 告 訴 摩 西 說 ： 我 們 到 了 你 所 打 發 我 們 去 的 那 地 ， 果 然 是 流 奶 與 蜜 之 地 ； 這 就 是 那 地 的 果 子 。
28 然 而 住 那 地 的 民 強 壯 ， 城 邑 也 堅 固 寬 大 ， 並 且 我 們 在 那 裡 看 見 了 亞 衲 族 的 人 。
29 亞 瑪 力 人 住 在 南 地 ； 赫 人 、 耶 布 斯 人 、 亞 摩 利 人 、 住 在 山 地 ； 迦 南 人 住 在 海 邊 並 約 但 河 旁 。
30 迦 勒 在 摩 西 面 前 安 撫 百 姓 ， 說 ： 我 們 立 刻 上 去 得 那 地 罷 ！ 我 們 足 能 得 勝 。
31 但 那 些 和 他 同 去 的 人 說 ： 我 們 不 能 上 去 攻 擊 那 民 ， 因 為 他 們 比 我 們 強 壯 。
32 探 子 中 有 人 論 到 所 窺 探 之 地 ， 向 以 色 列 人 報 惡 信 ， 說 ： 我 們 所 窺 探 、 經 過 之 地 是 吞 吃 居 民 之 地 ， 我 們 在 那 裡 所 看 見 的 人 民 都 身 量 高 大 。
33 我 們 在 那 裡 看 見 亞 衲 族 人 ， 就 是 偉 人 ； 他 們 是 偉 人 的 後 裔 。 據 我 們 看 ， 自 己 就 如 蚱 蜢 一 樣 ； 據 他 們 看 ， 我 們 也 是 如 此 。

Numbers 11-13
King James Version
11 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord'S people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!
30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
12 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Life Through the Spirit
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation(A) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(B) 2 because through Christ Jesus(C) the law of the Spirit who gives life(D) has set you[a] free(E) from the law of sin(F) and death. 3 For what the law was powerless(G) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b](H) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(I) to be a sin offering.[c](J) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(K) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(L)
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(M) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(N) 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death,(O) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life(P) and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;(Q) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh(R) cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(S) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(T) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(U) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(V) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(W) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(X) because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(Y) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(Z) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(AA) you will live.(AB)
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(AC) are the children of God.(AD) 15 The Spirit(AE) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(AF) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.”(AG) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(AH) that we are God’s children.(AI) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(AJ)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(AK) in order that we may also share in his glory.(AL)
Present Suffering and Future Glory
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(AM) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(AN) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(AO) in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(AP) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(AQ)
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(AR) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(AS) groan(AT) inwardly as we wait eagerly(AU) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(AV) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(AW) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(AX) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(AY)
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(AZ) himself intercedes for us(BA) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(BB) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(BC) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good(BD) of those who love him, who[i] have been called(BE) according to his purpose.(BF) 29 For those God foreknew(BG) he also predestined(BH) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(BI) that he might be the firstborn(BJ) among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined,(BK) he also called;(BL) those he called, he also justified;(BM) those he justified, he also glorified.(BN)
More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(BO) If God is for us,(BP) who can be against us?(BQ) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(BR) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(BS) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(BT) No one. Christ Jesus who died(BU)—more than that, who was raised to life(BV)—is at the right hand of God(BW) and is also interceding for us.(BX) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(BY) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(BZ) 36 As it is written:
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(CB) through him who loved us.(CC) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future,(CD) nor any powers,(CE) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(CF) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(CG)

羅 馬 書 8
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
8 如 今 ， 那 些 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 的 就 不 定 罪 了 。
2 因 為 賜 生 命 聖 靈 的 律 ， 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 釋 放 了 我 ， 使 我 脫 離 罪 和 死 的 律 了 。
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 ，
4 使 律 法 的 義 成 就 在 我 們 這 不 隨 從 肉 體 、 只 隨 從 聖 靈 的 人 身 上 。
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 。
6 體 貼 肉 體 的 ， 就 是 死 ； 體 貼 聖 靈 的 ， 乃 是 生 命 、 平 安 。
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 ，
8 而 且 屬 肉 體 的 人 不 能 得 神 的 喜 歡 。
9 如 果 神 的 靈 住 在 你 們 心 裡 ， 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 。
10 基 督 若 在 你 們 心 裡 ， 身 體 就 因 罪 而 死 ， 心 靈 卻 因 義 而 活 。
11 然 而 ， 叫 耶 穌 從 死 裡 復 活 者 的 靈 若 住 在 你 們 心 裡 ， 那 叫 基 督 耶 穌 從 死 裡 復 活 的 ， 也 必 藉 著 住 在 你 們 心 裡 的 聖 靈 ， 使 你 們 必 死 的 身 體 又 活 過 來 。
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 。
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 。
14 因 為 凡 被 神 的 靈 引 導 的 ， 都 是 神 的 兒 子 。
15 你 們 所 受 的 ， 不 是 奴 僕 的 心 ， 仍 舊 害 怕 ； 所 受 的 ， 乃 是 兒 子 的 心 ， 因 此 我 們 呼 叫 ： 阿 爸 ！ 父 ！
16 聖 靈 與 我 們 的 心 同 證 我 們 是 神 的 兒 女 ；
17 既 是 兒 女 ， 便 是 後 嗣 ， 就 是 神 的 後 嗣 ， 和 基 督 同 作 後 嗣 。 如 果 我 們 和 他 一 同 受 苦 ， 也 必 和 他 一 同 得 榮 耀 。
18 我 想 ， 現 在 的 苦 楚 若 比 起 將 來 要 顯 於 我 們 的 榮 耀 就 不 足 介 意 了 。
19 受 造 之 物 切 望 等 候 神 的 眾 子 顯 出 來 。
20 因 為 受 造 之 物 服 在 虛 空 之 下 ， 不 是 自 己 願 意 ， 乃 是 因 那 叫 他 如 此 的 。
21 但 受 造 之 物 仍 然 指 望 脫 離 敗 壞 的 轄 制 ， 得 享 （ 享 ： 原 文 是 入 ） 神 兒 女 自 由 的 榮 耀 。
22 我 們 知 道 一 切 受 造 之 物 一 同 歎 息 、 勞 苦 ， 直 到 如 今 。
23 不 但 如 此 ， 就 是 我 們 這 有 聖 靈 初 結 果 子 的 ， 也 是 自 己 心 裡 歎 息 ， 等 候 得 著 兒 子 的 名 分 ， 乃 是 我 們 的 身 體 得 贖 。
24 我 們 得 救 是 在 乎 盼 望 ； 只 是 所 見 的 盼 望 不 是 盼 望 ， 誰 還 盼 望 他 所 見 的 呢 （ 有 古 卷 作 ： 人 所 看 見 的 何 必 再 盼 望 呢 ） ？
25 但 我 們 若 盼 望 那 所 不 見 的 ， 就 必 忍 耐 等 候 。
26 況 且 我 們 的 軟 弱 有 聖 靈 幫 助 ， 我 們 本 不 曉 得 當 怎 樣 禱 告 ， 只 是 聖 靈 親 自 用 說 不 出 來 的 歎 息 替 我 們 禱 告 。
27 鑒 察 人 心 的 ， 曉 得 聖 靈 的 意 思 ， 因 為 聖 靈 照 著 神 的 旨 意 替 聖 徒 祈 求 。
28 我 們 曉 得 萬 事 都 互 相 效 力 ， 叫 愛 神 的 人 得 益 處 ， 就 是 按 他 旨 意 被 召 的 人 。
29 因 為 他 預 先 所 知 道 的 人 ， 就 預 先 定 下 效 法 他 兒 子 的 模 樣 ， 使 他 兒 子 在 許 多 弟 兄 中 作 長 子 。
30 預 先 所 定 下 的 人 又 召 他 們 來 ； 所 召 來 的 人 又 稱 他 們 為 義 ； 所 稱 為 義 的 人 又 叫 他 們 得 榮 耀 。
31 既 是 這 樣 ， 還 有 甚 麼 說 的 呢 ？ 神 若 幫 助 我 們 ， 誰 能 敵 擋 我 們 呢 ？
32 神 既 不 愛 惜 自 己 的 兒 子 ， 為 我 們 眾 人 捨 了 ， 豈 不 也 把 萬 物 和 他 一 同 白 白 的 賜 給 我 們 麼 ？
33 誰 能 控 告 神 所 揀 選 的 人 呢 ？ 有 神 稱 他 們 為 義 了 （ 或 作 ： 是 稱 他 們 為 義 的 神 麼 ）
34 誰 能 定 他 們 的 罪 呢 ？ 有 基 督 耶 穌 已 經 死 了 ， 而 且 從 死 裡 復 活 ， 現 今 在 神 的 右 邊 ， 也 替 我 們 祈 求 （ 有 基 督 . . . . 或 作 是 已 經 死 了 ， 而 且 從 死 裡 復 活 ， 現 今 在 神 的 右 邊 ， 也 替 我 們 祈 求 的 基 督 耶 穌 麼 ）
35 誰 能 使 我 們 與 基 督 的 愛 隔 絕 呢 ？ 難 道 是 患 難 麼 ？ 是 困 苦 麼 ？ 是 逼 迫 麼 ？ 是 飢 餓 麼 ？ 是 赤 身 露 體 麼 ？ 是 危 險 麼 ？ 是 刀 劍 麼 ？
36 如 經 上 所 記 ： 我 們 為 你 的 緣 故 終 日 被 殺 ； 人 看 我 們 如 將 宰 的 羊 。
37 然 而 ， 靠 著 愛 我 們 的 主 ， 在 這 一 切 的 事 上 已 經 得 勝 有 餘 了 。
38 因 為 我 深 信 無 論 是 死 ， 是 生 ， 是 天 使 ， 是 掌 權 的 ， 是 有 能 的 ， 是 現 在 的 事 ， 是 將 來 的 事 ，
39 是 高 處 的 ， 是 低 處 的 ， 是 別 的 受 造 之 物 ， 都 不 能 叫 我 們 與 神 的 愛 隔 絕 ； 這 愛 是 在 我 們 的 主 基 督 耶 穌 裡 的 。
Romans 8
King James Version
Romans 8
King James Version
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
