在基督裡的新生命

那麼,我們要怎麼說呢?難道我們可以留在罪中,好讓恩典增多嗎? 絕對不可!我們這些向罪已經死了的人,怎麼還能活在罪中呢? 難道你們不明白,所有受洗歸入基督耶穌的人,就是受洗歸入了他的死嗎? 所以,我們藉著洗禮歸入死,和他一同埋葬,好使我們也能以生命的新樣式行事為人,就像基督藉著父的榮耀從死人中復活那樣。 就是說,如果我們在基督死的樣式上與他聯合,也將要在他復活的形式上與他聯合。 我們知道,我們的舊我[a]已經和基督一起被釘十字架,好讓罪的身體被廢除,使我們不再做罪的奴僕, 因為一個死了的人,已經脫離了罪。 那麼,如果我們與基督一同死了,就相信也要與他一同活著。 我們知道,基督既從死人中復活,就不會再死,死亡再也轄制不了他。 10 原來他死,是一次性地向罪而死;他活,是向神而活。 11 照樣,你們就當看自己向罪是死的,但在[b]基督耶穌裡向神卻是活的。

12 所以,不要讓罪在你們會死的身體上掌權,使你們順從身體的私欲; 13 也不要把你們身體的任何部分[c]獻給罪,做不義的器具;相反,要像從死人中復活的人,把自己獻給神,並把身體的各部分做義的器具獻給神。 14 這樣,罪就不能轄制你們了,因為你們不在律法之下,而在恩典之下。

從罪的奴僕到義的奴僕

15 那又怎麼樣呢?難道因為我們不在律法之下而在恩典之下,就可以犯罪嗎?絕對不可! 16 你們難道不知道嗎?你們把自己獻上做奴僕去順從誰,那麼,順從誰就是誰的奴僕:或做罪的奴僕,以至於死;或做順從的奴僕,以致稱義。 17 感謝神!雖然你們過去是罪的奴僕,但現在卻從心裡順從了所傳給你們的[d]教導內容, 18 從罪中得了釋放,成為義的奴僕。 19 因著你們肉體的軟弱,我就按照人的說法來講,那就是,你們從前怎樣把身體的各部分[e]獻給汙穢和罪惡[f]做奴僕,以致罪惡[g];現在也要照樣把你們身體的各部分獻給義做奴僕,以致分別為聖。 20 原來,你們做罪的奴僕時,不受義的管束; 21 那麼,在你們現在看為羞恥的那些事上,你們當時到底得了什麼果子呢?那些事的結局就是死。 22 但如今,你們既從罪中得了釋放,成為神的奴僕,就得了果子,以致分別為聖,那結局就是永恆的生命。 23 因為罪的工價就是死;但神的恩賜,在我們的主基督耶穌裡,卻是永恆的生命。

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。

做義的奴僕

15 那麼,我們在恩典之中,不在律法之下,就可以任意犯罪嗎?絕不可以! 16 你們難道不明白嗎?你們獻身給誰、服從誰,就是誰的奴隸。做罪的奴隸,結局是死亡;作上帝的奴僕,就被稱為義人。 17 感謝上帝!你們從前雖然做過罪的奴隸,現在卻衷心服從了所傳給你們的教導, 18 從罪中得到釋放,成為義的奴僕。

19 因為你們有人性的軟弱,我就從人的立場向你們解釋。以前你們將身體獻給骯髒不法的事,任其奴役,助長不法。現在你們要將身體奉獻給義,為義效勞,成為聖潔的人。 20 你們做罪的奴隸時,不受義的約束, 21 做了現在想起來也覺得羞恥的事,得到了什麼益處呢?那些事只能導致死亡! 22 但現在你們已從罪中得到釋放,作了上帝的奴僕,這樣會使你們聖潔,最終得到永生。 23 因為罪的代價就是死亡,而上帝藉著主基督耶穌賜下的禮物則是永生。

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)

Slaves to Righteousness

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?(Z) By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey(AA)—whether you are slaves to sin,(AB) which leads to death,(AC) or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God(AD) that, though you used to be slaves to sin,(AE) you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching(AF) that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin(AG) and have become slaves to righteousness.(AH)

19 I am using an example from everyday life(AI) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(AJ) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(AK) you were free from the control of righteousness.(AL) 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!(AM) 22 But now that you have been set free from sin(AN) and have become slaves of God,(AO) the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(AP) 23 For the wages of sin is death,(AQ) but the gift of God is eternal life(AR) in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord.

Was wollen wir hierzu sagen? Sollen wir denn in der Sünde beharren, auf daß die Gnade desto mächtiger werde?

Das sei ferne! Wie sollten wir in der Sünde wollen leben, der wir abgestorben sind?

Wisset ihr nicht, daß alle, die wir in Jesus Christus getauft sind, die sind in seinen Tod getauft?

So sind wir ja mit ihm begraben durch die Taufe in den Tod, auf daß, gleichwie Christus ist auferweckt von den Toten durch die Herrlichkeit des Vaters, also sollen auch wir in einem neuen Leben wandeln.

So wir aber samt ihm gepflanzt werden zu gleichem Tode, so werden wir auch seiner Auferstehung gleich sein,

dieweil wir wissen, daß unser alter Mensch samt ihm gekreuzigt ist, auf daß der sündliche Leib aufhöre, daß wir hinfort der Sünde nicht mehr dienen.

Denn wer gestorben ist, der ist gerechtfertigt von der Sünde.

Sind wir aber mit Christo gestorben, so glauben wir, daß wir auch mit ihm leben werden,

und wissen, daß Christus, von den Toten auferweckt, hinfort nicht stirbt; der Tod wird hinfort nicht mehr über ihn herrschen.

10 Denn was er gestorben ist, das ist er der Sünde gestorben zu einem Mal; was er aber lebt, das lebt er Gott.

11 Also auch ihr, haltet euch dafür, daß ihr der Sünde gestorben seid und lebt Gott in Christo Jesus, unserm HERRN.

12 So lasset nun die Sünde nicht herrschen in eurem sterblichen Leibe, ihr Gehorsam zu leisten in seinen Lüsten.

13 Auch begebet nicht der Sünde eure Glieder zu Waffen der Ungerechtigkeit, sondern begebet euch selbst Gott, als die da aus den Toten lebendig sind, und eure Glieder Gott zu Waffen der Gerechtigkeit.

14 Denn die Sünde wird nicht herrschen können über euch, sintemal ihr nicht unter dem Gesetz seid, sondern unter der Gnade.

15 Wie nun? Sollen wir sündigen, dieweil wir nicht unter dem Gesetz, sondern unter der Gnade sind? Das sei ferne!

16 Wisset ihr nicht: welchem ihr euch begebet zu Knechten in Gehorsam, des Knechte seid ihr, dem ihr gehorsam seid, es sei der Sünde zum Tode oder dem Gehorsam zur Gerechtigkeit?

17 Gott sei aber gedankt, daß ihr Knechte der Sünde gewesen seid, aber nun gehorsam geworden von Herzen dem Vorbilde der Lehre, welchem ihr ergeben seid.

18 Denn nun ihr frei geworden seid von der Sünde, seid ihr Knechte der Gerechtigkeit geworden.

19 Ich muß menschlich davon reden um der Schwachheit willen eures Fleisches. Gleichwie ihr eure Glieder begeben habet zum Dienst der Unreinigkeit und von einer Ungerechtigkeit zur andern, also begebet auch nun eure Glieder zum Dienst der Gerechtigkeit, daß sie heilig werden.

20 Denn da ihr der Sünde Knechte wart, da wart ihr frei von der Gerechtigkeit.

21 Was hattet ihr nun zu der Zeit für Frucht? Welcher ihr euch jetzt schämet; denn ihr Ende ist der Tod.

22 Nun ihr aber seid von der Sünde frei und Gottes Knechte geworden, habt ihr eure Frucht, daß ihr heilig werdet, das Ende aber ist das ewige Leben.

23 Denn der Tod ist der Sünde Sold; aber die Gabe Gottes ist das ewige Leben in Christo Jesu, unserm HERRN.

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.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
