與基督同死同活

那麼,我們該怎麼說呢?我們可以繼續犯罪,使恩典顯得更豐富嗎? 絕不可以!我們既然向罪死了,豈可繼續活在罪中? 難道你們不知道,我們受洗歸屬基督耶穌是和祂一同死嗎? 我們藉著洗禮和祂一同死了,埋葬了,這樣我們的一舉一動可以有新生命的樣式,正如基督藉著父的榮耀從死裡復活一樣。

如果我們和基督一同死了,也必和祂一同復活。 我們知道,我們的舊人已經和祂一同釘在十字架上,使辖制我們身體的罪失去力量,使我們不再做罪的奴隸。 因為人一旦死了,便脫離了罪。

如果我們與基督同死,相信也必與祂同活。 因為我們知道,基督既然從死裡復活了,就不會再死,死亡也不能再控制祂。 10 祂死,是向罪死,只死一次;祂活,卻是向上帝永遠活著。 11 這樣,你們應當看自己是向罪死了,但向上帝則看自己是活在基督耶穌裡。

12 所以,不要讓罪辖制你們必死的身體,使你們順從身體的私慾; 13 也不要將你們的身體獻給罪作不義的工具,而是要像一個從死裡復活的人將自己奉獻給上帝,把身體獻給上帝作義的工具。 14 罪不能再主宰你們,因為你們已經不在律法之下,而是在恩典之中。

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

What shall we say, then?(A) Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?(B) By no means! We are those who have died to sin;(C) how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized(D) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death(E) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead(F) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.(G)

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.(H) For we know that our old self(I) was crucified with him(J) so that the body ruled by sin(K) might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin(L) because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.(M)

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.(N) For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,(O) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.(P) 10 The death he died, he died to sin(Q) once for all;(R) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin(S) but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign(T) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,(U) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.(V) 14 For sin shall no longer be your master,(W) because you are not under the law,(X) but under grace.(Y)

  1. Romans 6:6 Or be rendered powerless

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
