罗马书 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
随从圣灵而活
8 因此,如今那些在基督耶稣里的人不被定罪, 2 因为赐人生命之圣灵的律已经在基督耶稣里使我获得自由,脱离了罪与死的律。 3 律法因为人性软弱而无法成就的事,上帝亲自成就了。祂差遣自己的儿子成为和罪人一样有血有肉的人,作了赎罪祭,废掉了罪的权势, 4 使律法公义的要求实现在我们这些不随从罪恶本性,只随从圣灵而活的人身上。
5 随从罪恶本性的人顾念罪恶本性的事,但随从圣灵的人顾念圣灵的事。 6 顾念罪恶本性的人结局是死亡,但顾念圣灵的人却有生命和平安。 7 因为顾念罪恶本性的人与上帝为敌,不服从上帝的律法,也无力服从。 8 所以受罪恶本性控制的人无法令上帝喜悦。
9 但如果上帝的灵住在你们里面,你们就不再受制于罪恶的本性,而是受圣灵管理。人若没有基督的灵,就不属于基督。 10 如果基督在你们里面,你们的身体虽然因罪恶而死亡,灵魂却因上帝所赐的义而活着。 11 如果使耶稣复活之上帝的灵住在你们里面,叫基督耶稣从死里复活的上帝,必借着住在你们里面的圣灵,使你们终有一死的身体活过来。
12 弟兄姊妹,这样看来,我们不必随从罪恶本性活着。 13 你们若随从罪恶本性活着,必定死亡;但若靠着圣灵除去身体的恶行,就必活着。
14 因为凡有上帝的圣灵引导的人都是上帝的儿女。 15 你们接受的圣灵不是使你们做奴隶,仍旧害怕,而是使你们做儿子,可以称上帝为“阿爸,父亲”。 16 圣灵亲自与我们的心一同见证我们是上帝的儿女。 17 既然我们是儿女,就是继承人,是上帝的后嗣,并且与基督同做后嗣。所以,如果现在我们和基督一同受苦,将来也必和祂一同得荣耀。
将来的荣耀
18 我认为现在所受的痛苦与将来要显给我们的荣耀相比,简直微不足道。 19 受造之物正热切等候上帝众子的显现, 20 因为受造之物处在虚空之下并非出于情愿,而是出于上帝的旨意。 21 不过,受造之物仍然盼望脱离衰亡之律的奴役,享受上帝儿女荣耀的自由。 22 我们知道一切受造之物至今都在呻吟,如同经历分娩之痛。 23 不但如此,就是我们这些首先得到圣灵的人也在心里叹息,热切等候得到儿子的名分[a],就是我们的身体得到救赎。 24 我们得救的人有这个盼望。不过,看得见的盼望根本不算盼望,因为谁会盼望已经看见的呢? 25 但我们若盼望那尚未看见的,就会忍耐等候。
26 况且,我们软弱的时候,有圣灵帮助我们。我们本来不知道怎样祷告,但圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祈祷。 27 洞悉人心的上帝知道圣灵的意思,因为圣灵是照着上帝的旨意替圣徒祈祷。
28 我们知道,上帝使万事互相效力[b],使那些爱上帝,就是上帝按自己的旨意呼召的人得益处。 29 因为上帝预先知道谁是属祂的人,并预定这些人要被塑造成祂儿子的形象,使祂的儿子在许多弟兄中成为长子。 30 祂所预定的人,祂也呼召他们;祂所呼召的人,祂也称他们为义人;祂称为义人的,祂也使他们得荣耀。
上帝的爱
31 对于这些事,我们还可以说什么呢?上帝若帮助我们,谁能与我们对抗? 32 上帝既然连自己的儿子也不顾惜,让祂为我们牺牲,岂不也把万物和祂一同白白地赐给我们吗? 33 谁能指控上帝拣选的人呢?上帝已经称他们为义人了。 34 谁能定他们有罪呢?基督耶稣已经替他们死了,而且祂还从死里复活了,如今在上帝的右边替我们祈祷。 35 谁能使我们与基督的爱分离呢?难道是患难吗?困苦吗?迫害吗?饥饿吗?赤身露体吗?危险吗?刀剑吗? 36 正如圣经上说:“为了你,我们终日出生入死,被视为待宰的羊。”
37 然而,靠着爱我们的主,我们在这一切事上已经得胜有余了。 38 因为我深信无论是死、是生,是天使、是鬼魔,是现在的事、是将来的事, 39 是高天之上的、是大地深处的或是其他受造之物,都不能使我们与上帝在主基督耶稣里赐下的爱分离。
Romans 8
Names of God Bible
God’s Spirit Makes Us His Children
8 So those who are believers in Christ Yeshua can no longer be condemned. 2 The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Yeshua, have set you free from the standards of sin and death. 3 It is impossible to do what God’s standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature. 4 Therefore, we, who do not live by our corrupt nature but by our spiritual nature, are able to meet God’s standards in Moses’ Teachings.
5 Those who live by the corrupt nature have the corrupt nature’s attitude. But those who live by the spiritual nature have the spiritual nature’s attitude. 6 The corrupt nature’s attitude leads to death. But the spiritual nature’s attitude leads to life and peace. 7 This is so because the corrupt nature has a hostile attitude toward God. It refuses to place itself under the authority of God’s standards because it can’t. 8 Those who are under the control of the corrupt nature can’t please God. 9 But if God’s Spirit lives in you, you are under the control of your spiritual nature, not your corrupt nature.
Whoever doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ doesn’t belong to him. 10 However, if Christ lives in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, but your spirits are alive because you have God’s approval. 11 Does the Spirit of the one who brought Yeshua back to life live in you? Then the one who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
12 So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live. 13 If you live by your corrupt nature, you are going to die. But if you use your spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of the body, you will live. 14 Certainly, all who are guided by God’s Spirit are God’s children. 15 You haven’t received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the spirit of God’s adopted children by which we call out, “Abba![a] Father!” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 If we are his children, we are also God’s heirs. If we share in Christ’s suffering in order to share his glory, we are heirs together with him.
God’s Spirit Helps Us
18 I consider our present sufferings insignificant compared to the glory that will soon be revealed to us. 19 All creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal who his children are. 20 Creation was subjected to frustration but not by its own choice. The one who subjected it to frustration did so in the hope 21 that it would also be set free from slavery to decay in order to share the glorious freedom that the children of God will have. 22 We know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.
23 However, not only creation groans. We, who have the Spirit as the first of God’s gifts, also groan inwardly. We groan as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the freeing of our bodies from sin. 24 We were saved with this hope in mind. If we hope for something we already see, it’s not really hope. Who hopes for what can be seen? 25 But if we hope for what we don’t see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don’t know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words. 27 The one who searches our hearts knows what the Spirit has in mind. The Spirit intercedes for God’s people the way God wants him to.
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God—those whom he has called according to his plan. 29 This is true because he already knew his people and had already appointed them to have the same form as the image of his Son. Therefore, his Son is the firstborn among many children. 30 He also called those whom he had already appointed. He approved of those whom he had called, and he gave glory to those whom he had approved of.
31 What can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 God didn’t spare his own Son but handed him over to death for all of us. So he will also give us everything along with him. 33 Who will accuse those whom God has chosen? God has approved of them. 34 Who will condemn them? Christ has died, and more importantly, he was brought back to life. Christ has the highest position in heaven. Christ also intercedes for us. 35 What will separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or violent death separate us from his love? 36 As Scripture says:
“We are being killed all day long because of you.
We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties. 38 I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love which Christ Yeshua our Lord shows us.[b] We can’t be separated by death or life, by angels or rulers, by anything in the present or anything in the future, by forces 39 or powers in the world above or in the world below, or by anything else in creation.

Marathi Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
पवित्र आत्म्यात जीवन
8 म्हणून आता जे ख्रिस्त येशूमध्ये आहेत त्यांना शिक्षा नाही. 2 कारण आत्म्याचा जो नियम ख्रिस्त येशूमध्ये जीवन देतो त्याने पापाचा नियम जो तुम्हांला मरणाकडे नेतो त्यापासून मुक्त केले आहे. 3 नियमशास्त्र समर्थ आहे पण आपण दूर्बळ आहोत त्यामुळे वाचु शकत नाही, देवाने आपल्या पुत्राला पापी देहाच्या प्रतिरुपाने व पापाकरिता पाठवून ख्रिस्ताच्या देहामध्ये पापाला न्यायदंड ठरविला. 4 यासाठी की, नीतिच्या व आवश्यक गोष्टी आपण जे देहाच्या पापमय स्वभावाप्रमाणे नव्हे तर आत्म्याप्रमाणे चालतो, त्या आमच्याद्वारे पूर्ण व्हाव्यात.
5 कारण जे त्यांच्या मानवी पापी देहाप्रमाणे जगतात ते देहाच्या गोष्टींचा विचार करतात, परंतु जे आत्म्याने चालतात व ज्यांचे मन आत्म्याच्या गोष्टींकडे लागलेले असते ते त्याप्रमाणे जीवन जगतात. 6 देहाचे चिंतन हे मरण आहे. पण आत्म्याचे मनन हे जीवन आणि शांति आहे. 7 मानवी स्वभावाचे अधिकार असलेले पापी मन म्हणजे देवाबरोबर वैर आहे. कारण ते देवाच्या नियमाच्या आधीन होत नाही, व त्याला आधीन होताही येत नाही. 8 कारण जे देहस्वभावाच्या आधीन आहेत त्यांना देवाला प्रसन्र करता येत नाही.
9 देवाचा आत्मा तुम्हांमध्ये राहतो, तर तुम्ही देहाचे नसून आत्म्याचे आहात. परंतु जर कोणाला ख्रिस्ताचा आत्मा नसेल तर तो ख्रिस्ताचा नाही. 10 उलट जर ख्रिस्त तुम्हांमध्ये आहे व तुमचा देह पापामुळे मेला आहे तरी नीतिमत्वामुळे तुमच्या आत्म्याच जीवन आहे. 11 आणि ज्या आत्म्याने येशूला मरणातून उठविले तो त्याचा आत्मा तुम्हांमध्ये राहतो त्या तुमच्या मर्त्य शरीराला जीवन देईल.
12 तर मग बंधूनो, आम्ही कर्जदार आहोत, देहाप्रमाणे जगण्यास देहाचे नव्हे. 13 कारण जर तुम्ही तुमच्या पापी देहस्वभावाप्रमाणे जीवन जगाल तर तुम्ही मरणार आहात, परंतु आत्म्याच्या करवी जर तुम्ही देहाची कर्मे ठार माराल तर तुम्ही जगाल.
14 कारण जितक्यांना देवाचा आत्मा चालवितो, तितके देवाची मुले आहेत. 15 पुन्हा भीति वाटू नये म्हणून तुम्हांला गुलामगिरीचा आत्मा मिळाला नाही, तर तुम्हांला दतकपणाचा आत्मा मिळाला आहे. त्याच्यायोगे आम्ही “अब्बा, बापा” अशी हाक मारतो. 16 तो आत्मा स्वतः आपल्याबरोबर दुजोरा देतो की, आपण देवाची मुले आहोत. 17 आपण जर देवाची मुले आहोत तर आम्ही वारसही आहोत आणि ख्रिस्ताबरोबर वारस आहोत. खरोखर आपण त्याच्याबरोबर दु:ख भोगतो यासाठी की, त्याच्याबरोबर आपणांस गौरवही मिळावे.
भविष्यात आम्हांला गौरव मिळेल
18 कारण भविष्यकाळात आपल्याला प्रगट करण्यात येणाऱ्या गौरवाच्या तुलनेने सध्याच्या काळातील दु:खे काहीच नाहीत असे मी मानतो. 19 कारण निर्माण केलेले जग पुत्राच्या प्रगट होण्याच्या काळाची वाट पाहत आहे. 20 निर्माण केलेले जग सर्व स्वाधीन होते ते इच्छेने नव्हे तर देवाने ते अधीन ठेवले होते म्हणून, 21 या आशेने की, निर्माण केलेले जग त्याच्या अशुद्धतेच्या गुलामगिरीतून मुक्त व्हावे, व देवाच्या मुलांचे वैभवी गौरव त्याने उपभोगावे.
22 कारण आपल्याला माहीत आहे की, आजपर्यंत, निर्माण केलेले संपूर्ण जग कण्हत, वेदना भोगीत आहे. 23 परंतु निर्माण केलेले जगच नव्हे तर आपणांस ज्यांना आत्म्याचे प्रथम फळही मिळाले आहे ते, आपणही संपूर्ण दत्तकपणासाठी आपल्या शरीराच्या नाशवंत, मर्त्य स्वभावापासून मुक्ती व्हावी म्हणून आतल्याआत कण्हत आहोत. 24 आपण आपल्या मनातील या आशेने तारले गेलो आहोत. परंतु आपण ज्याची आशा धरली ते पाहू शकलो तर ही आशा नसेल. कारण जे पाहतो त्याची आशा कोण धरील? 25 परंतु जर आपण जे पाहत नाही त्याची आशा धरतो तर आपण धीराने त्याची वाट पाहतो.
26 जेव्हा आपण कण्हतो तेव्हा आत्माही आपल्या अशक्तपणात आपणांस मदत करतो. कारण कशासाठी आपण प्रार्थना करावी, हे आपणांस माहीतसुद्धा नसते. परंतु आत्मा स्वतः आपणांसाठी शब्दांनी जे व्यक्त करता येत नाही, अशा कण्हण्याने मध्यस्थी करतो. 27 परंतु जो देव आपली अंतःकरणे शोधतो त्याला आत्म्याचा हेतू काय आहे हे माहीत आहे. कारण देवाच्या इच्छेने आत्मा संताच्या वतीने मध्यस्थी करतो.
28 आणि आपणास माहीत आहे की, प्रत्येक गोष्टीत हेतूप्रमाणे आत्मा जे देवावर प्रेम करतात व त्याच्या संकल्पाप्रमाणे बोलाविलेले असतात त्यांच्यासह जे चांगले आहे ते करण्याचे काम करतो. 29 ज्यांना देवाने अगोदरच निवडले होते त्यांना त्याच्या पुत्राच्या सारखे व्हावे म्हणून नेमले होते. यासाठी की देवाचा पुत्र पुष्कळ बंधूंमध्ये ज्येष्ठ व्हावा. 30 देवाने ज्यांना अगोदरच नेमले होते, ज्यांना बोलाविले होते त्यांना नीतिमान केले आणि ज्यांना नीतिमान केले त्यांना गौरवसुद्धा दिले.
देवाची ख्रिस्त येशूमधील प्रीति
31 यावरुन आपण काय म्हणावे? देव जर आपल्या बाजूचा आहे तर आपल्या विरुद्ध कोण? 32 ज्याने आपल्या पुत्राला राखून ठेवले नाही, परंतु आपणा सर्वांसाठी मरण्यासाठी दिले तो आपणांला पुत्रासह सर्व काही देणार नाही काय? 33 देवाच्या निवडलेल्या लोकांवर आरोप कोण ठेवील? देव हाच एक त्यांना निरपराध ठरवितो. 34 दोषी ठरवितो तो कोण? जो मेला आणि याहीपेक्षा अधिक महत्तवाचे म्हणजे जो उठविला गेला व देवाच्या उजवीकडे बसला आहे, जो आपल्या वतीने मध्यस्थी करतो तो ख्रिस्त येशू आहे. 35 ख्रिस्ताच्या प्रेमापासून आपणांस कोण वेगळे करील? त्रास, कष्ट, छळ, भूक, नग्नता, संकटे किंवा तलवारीने वध हे वेगळे करतील काय? 36 असे लिहिले आहे की,
“दिवसभर आम्ही तुझ्यामुळे वधले जात आहोत.
आम्हांला कापायला नेत असलेल्या मेंढराप्रमाणे समजतात.” (A)
37 तरी या सर्व गोष्टींमध्ये आम्ही ज्याने आम्हांवर प्रीति केली त्याच्याद्वारे अत्यंत वैभवी जय मिळवीत आहोत. 38 कारण माझी खात्री आहे की, मरण किंवा जीवन, देवदूत, अधिकारी आत्मे हल्लीच्या किंवा भविष्यकाळात, 39 येशूचे सामर्थ्य, उंच किंवा खाली, जगात निर्माण केलेली कुठलीही गोष्ट आपणांस देवाचे प्रेम जे ख्रिस्तामध्ये आढळते त्यापासून वेगळे करु शकणार नाही.
Romans 8
New International Version
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)
