耶和华我的力量，我爱你

¹（耶和华的仆人大卫的诗，交与伶长。当耶和华救他脱离一切仇敌和扫罗之手的日子，他向耶和华念这诗的话。说：）耶和华，我的力量啊，我爱你！For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.

²耶和华是我的岩石，我的山寨，我的救主，我的　神，我的磐石，我所投靠的。他是我的盾牌，是拯救我的角，是我的高台。The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

²断乎不可！我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢？Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

受洗归入基督的死

³岂不知我们这受洗归入基督耶稣的人是受洗归入他的死吗？Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

⁴所以，我们借着洗礼归入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式，像基督借着父的荣耀从死里复活一样。We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

⁵我们若在他死的形状上与他联合，也要在他复活的形状上与他联合；For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.

⁶因为知道我们的旧人和他同钉十字架，使罪身灭绝，叫我们不再作罪的奴仆；We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

⁷因为已死的人是脱离了罪。For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

向罪死，向神活

⁸我们若是与基督同死，就信必与他同活。Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.

⁹因为知道基督既从死里复活，就不再死，死也不再作他的主了。For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.

¹⁰他死是向罪死了，只有一次；他活是向　神活着。The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.

¹¹这样，你们向罪也当看自己是死的；向　神在基督耶稣里，却当看自己是活的。So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

不要容罪作王

¹²所以，不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王，使你们顺从身子的私欲。Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.

¹³也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具；倒要像从死里复活的人，将自己献给　神，并将肢体作义的器具献给　神。Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

¹⁴罪必不能作你们的主；因你们不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

作义的奴仆

¹⁵这却怎么样呢？我们在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪吗？断乎不可！What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!

¹⁶岂不晓得你们献上自己作奴仆，顺从谁，就作谁的奴仆吗？或作罪的奴仆，以至于死；或作顺命的奴仆，以致成义。Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?

¹⁷感谢　神！因为你们从前虽然作罪的奴仆，现今却从心里顺服了所传给你们道理的模范。But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

¹⁸你们既从罪里得了释放，就作了义的奴仆。You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

¹⁹我因你们肉体的软弱，就照人的常话对你们说。你们从前怎样将肢体献给不洁不法作奴仆，以至于不法；现今也要照样将肢体献给义作奴仆，以至于成圣。I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

罪的工价与神的恩赐

²⁰因为你们作罪之奴仆的时候，就不被义约束了。For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.

²¹你们现今所看为羞耻的事，当日有什么果子呢？那些事的结局就是死。What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

²²但现今，你们既从罪里得了释放，作了　神的奴仆，就有成圣的果子，那结局就是永生。But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

²³因为罪的工价乃是死；惟有　神的恩赐，在我们的主基督耶稣里，乃是永生。For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
