你為敬畏你的人所積存的恩惠

神的兒女、神的後嗣

¹⁴因為凡被　神的靈引導的，都是　神的兒子。For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

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！」For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

¹⁶聖靈與我們的心同證我們是　神的兒女；The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

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。And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

現在的苦楚與將來的榮耀

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。I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.

¹⁹受造之物切望等候　神的眾子顯出來。The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.

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。For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

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。that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

一同歎息、等候

²²我們知道，一切受造之物一同歎息，勞苦，直到如今。We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.

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。Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

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：人所看見的何必再盼望呢）？For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

²⁵但我們若盼望那所不見的，就必忍耐等候。But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

聖靈替我們禱告

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。In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

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。And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

萬事互相效力

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。And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

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。For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

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。And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.

神若幫助我們，誰能敵擋

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？What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

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地賜給我們嗎？He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?

³³誰能控告　神所揀選的人呢？有　神稱他們為義了（或譯：是稱他們為義的　神嗎）。Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

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....或譯：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嗎）。Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕

³⁵誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？難道是患難嗎？是困苦嗎？是逼迫嗎？是飢餓嗎？是赤身露體嗎？是危險嗎？是刀劍嗎？Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

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。As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

³⁷然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

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，For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

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。neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
