罗马书 7
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
以婚姻为例
7 弟兄们,我现在对明白律法的人说:难道你们不明白,律法只是在一个人活着的时候辖制这个人吗? 2 要知道,已婚的女人,在丈夫活着的时候,是被律法约束的;但如果丈夫死了,她就脱离了那关于丈夫的律法。 3 由此可见,丈夫还活着的时候,她如果归向别的男人,就被称为淫妇;但如果丈夫死了,她就脱离那律法得了自由,即使归向别的男人,也不是淫妇。
4 因此,我的弟兄们,你们藉着基督的身体,在律法上也被处死了,使你们归向另一位,就是从死人中复活的那一位,好让我们能为神结出果子来。 5 原来,当我们还在肉体中的时候,罪的欲望藉着律法在我们身体的各部分[a]做工,以致为死亡结了果子。 6 但如今,我们既然在那捆绑我们的律法上死了,就脱离了律法,结果我们得以按照圣灵的新样式来服事,而不按照律法条文的旧样式。
罪藉着诫命
7 那么,我们要怎么说呢?难道律法是罪吗?绝对不是!然而,要不是藉着律法,我就不知道什么是罪。如果律法没有说“不可贪心”[b],我就不知道什么是贪心; 8 但是,罪藉着诫命,趁机在我里面生出种种贪念。原来在律法之外,罪是死的。 9 我从前活在律法之外,但是诫命一来,罪就活起来了, 10 我却死了。于是我发现,那本该带来生命的诫命,它却导致了死亡。 11 事实上,罪藉着诫命趁机欺骗了我,并藉着诫命杀了我。 12 因此,律法是神圣的,诫命也是神圣、公义、美善的。
内在的罪
13 那么,是那美善的导致了我的死吗?[c]绝对不是!而是罪。罪为要显出是罪,就藉着那美善的带来了我的死,使罪藉着诫命变得极其邪恶。 14 我们知道律法是属灵的;而我是属肉体的,已经卖给罪了。 15 实际上,我所做的,我不明白,因为我所愿意的,我没有去做;我所恨恶的,我反而去做。 16 那么,如果我做我不愿意做的事,我就赞同了律法是好的。 17 所以现在这事就不再是我所做的,而是住在我里面的罪所做的。 18 事实上,我知道在我里面,就是在我肉体中,没有良善;因为行善的意愿在我里面,却行不出来。 19 这样,我愿意行的善,我没有去行;我不愿意做的恶,我反而去做。 20 那么,如果我做我不愿意做的事,这事就不再是我所做的,而是住在我里面的罪所做的。 21 因此我发现一个法则:当我愿意行善的时候,恶就在我里面。 22 就是说,按着内在的人,我喜爱神的法则, 23 然而我发现在我身体[d]中另有一个法则,与我理性的法则交战,把我掳到我身体中罪的法则里。 24 我这个人真是可悲呀!谁能救我脱离这属于死亡的身体呢? 25 藉着我们的主耶稣基督,感谢归于神![e]由此可见,我自己一方面在理性上服从神的法则,另一方面在肉体中却服从罪的法则。

Segond 21
Le péché et la loi
7 Ignorez-vous, frères et sœurs – je parle ici à des gens qui connaissent la loi – que la loi n'exerce son pouvoir sur l'homme qu'aussi longtemps qu'il vit? 2 Ainsi, une femme mariée est liée par la loi à son mari tant qu'il est vivant, mais si son mari meurt, elle est dégagée de la loi qui la liait à lui. 3 Si donc elle devient la femme d'un autre homme du vivant de son mari, elle sera considérée comme adultère. Mais si son mari meurt, elle est libérée de cette loi, de sorte qu'elle n'est pas adultère en devenant la femme d'un autre.
4 De même, mes frères et sœurs, vous aussi vous avez été mis à mort par rapport à la loi à travers le corps de Christ pour appartenir à un autre, à celui qui est ressuscité afin que nous portions des fruits pour Dieu. 5 En effet, lorsque nous étions livrés à notre nature propre, les passions pécheresses éveillées par la loi agissaient dans nos membres, de sorte que nous portions des fruits pour la mort. 6 Mais maintenant nous avons été libérés de la loi, car nous sommes morts à ce qui nous retenait prisonniers, de sorte que nous servons sous le régime nouveau de l'Esprit et non sous le régime périmé de la loi écrite.
7 Que dirons-nous donc? La loi est-elle péché? Certainement pas! Mais je n'ai connu le péché que par l’intermédiaire de la loi. En effet, je n'aurais pas su ce qu'est la convoitise si la loi n'avait pas dit: Tu ne convoiteras pas.[a] 8 Saisissant l'occasion offerte par ce commandement, le péché a produit en moi toutes sortes de désirs. En effet, sans loi le péché est mort. 9 Pour ma part, sans la loi, je vivais autrefois; mais quand le commandement est venu, le péché a repris vie et moi, je suis mort. 10 Il s'est trouvé que le commandement qui devait conduire à la vie m'a conduit à la mort. 11 En effet, le péché, saisissant l'occasion offerte par le commandement, m'a trompé et par lui m'a donné la mort. 12 Ainsi donc, la loi est sainte, et le commandement est saint, juste et bon.
13 Ce qui est bon est-il donc devenu synonyme de mort pour moi? Certainement pas! Au contraire, c’est la faute du péché. Il s'est manifesté comme péché en me donnant la mort par ce qui est bon[b], et ainsi, par l’intermédiaire du commandement, il montre son caractère extrêmement mauvais. 14 Nous savons, en effet, que la loi est spirituelle; mais moi, je suis marqué par ma nature, vendu au péché. 15 Je ne comprends pas ce que je fais: je ne fais pas ce que je veux et je fais ce que je déteste. 16 Or, si je fais ce que je ne veux pas, je reconnais par là que la loi est bonne. 17 En réalité, ce n'est plus moi qui agis ainsi, mais le péché qui habite en moi. 18 En effet, je sais que le bien n'habite pas en moi, c'est-à-dire dans ma nature propre: j’ai la volonté de faire le bien, mais je ne parviens pas à l’accomplir. 19 En effet, je ne fais pas le bien que je veux mais je fais au contraire le mal que je ne veux pas. 20 Or, si je fais ce que je ne veux pas, ce n'est plus moi qui le fais, mais le péché qui habite en moi.
21 Je découvre donc cette loi: alors que je veux faire le bien, c’est le mal qui est à ma portée. 22 En effet, je prends plaisir à la loi de Dieu, dans mon être intérieur, 23 mais je constate qu’il y a dans mes membres une autre loi; elle lutte contre la loi de mon intelligence et me rend prisonnier de la loi du péché qui est dans mes membres. 24 Malheureux être humain que je suis! Qui me délivrera de ce corps de mort? 25 J’en remercie Dieu, c’est possible par Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur. Ainsi donc, par mon intelligence, je suis esclave de la loi de Dieu, mais par ma nature propre je suis esclave de la loi du péché.

Romans 7
New International Version
Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters(A)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(B) 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(C) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(D) through the body of Christ,(E) that you might belong to another,(F) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](G) the sinful passions aroused by the law(H) were at work in us,(I) so that we bore fruit for death.(J) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(K) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(L)
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(M) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(N) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(O) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](P) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(R) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(S) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(T) deceived me,(U) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(V)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(W) to bring about my death,(X) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(Y) sold(Z) as a slave to sin.(AA) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(AB) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(AC) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(AD) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c](AE) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(AF) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(AG)
21 So I find this law at work:(AH) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(AI) I delight in God’s law;(AJ) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(AK) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(AL) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AM) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AN)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(AO) but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.(AP)

King James Version
7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
