Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
1弟兄們，我現在對明白律法的人說，你們豈不曉得律法管人是在活着的時候嗎？
2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
2就如女人有了丈夫，丈夫還活着，就被律法約束；丈夫若死了，就脫離了丈夫的律法。
3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
3所以丈夫活着，她若歸於別人，便叫淫婦；丈夫若死了，她就脫離了丈夫的律法，雖然歸於別人，也不是淫婦。
4Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
4我的弟兄們，這樣說來，你們藉着基督的身體，在律法上也是死了，叫你們歸於別人，就是歸於那從死裏復活的，叫我們結果子給上帝。
5For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
5因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生的惡慾就在我們肢體中發動，以致結成死亡的果子。
6But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
6但我們既然在捆我們的律法上死了，現今就脫離了律法，叫我們服事 主 ，要按着心靈的新樣，不按着儀文的舊樣。
7What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
7這樣，我們可說甚麼呢？律法是罪嗎？斷乎不是！只是非因律法，我就不知何為罪。非律法說「不可起貪心」，我就不知何為貪心。
8But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
8然而，罪趁着機會， 就藉着誡命叫諸般的貪心在我裏頭發動；因為沒有律法，罪是死的。
9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
9我以前沒有律法是活着的；但是誡命來到，罪又活了，我就死了。
10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
10那本來叫人活的誡命，反倒叫我死；
11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
11因為罪趁着機會， 就藉着誡命引誘我，並且殺了我。
12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
12這樣看來，律法是聖潔的，誡命也是聖潔、公義、良善的。
13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
13既然如此，那良善的是叫我死嗎？斷乎不是！ 叫我死的乃是罪 。但罪藉着那良善的叫我死，就顯出真是罪，叫罪因着誡命更顯出是惡極了。
14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
14我們原曉得律法是屬乎靈的，但我是屬乎肉體的，是已經賣給罪了。
15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
15因為我所做的，我自己不明白；我所願意的，我並不做；我所恨惡的，我倒去做。
16And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
16若我所做的，是我所不願意的，我就應承律法是善的。
17In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
17既是這樣，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裏頭的罪做的。
18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
18我也知道，在我裏頭，就是我肉體之中，沒有良善。因為，立志為善由得我，只是行出來由不得我。
19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
19故此，我所願意的善，我反不做；我所不願意的惡，我倒去做。
20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
20若我去做所不願意做的，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裏頭的罪做的。
21So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
21我覺得有個律，就是我願意為善的時候，便有惡與我同在。
22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
22因為按着我裏面的意思，我是喜歡上帝的律；
23But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
23但我覺得肢體中另有個律和我心中的律交戰，把我擄去，叫我附從那肢體中犯罪的律。
24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
24我真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這取死的身體呢？
25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
25感謝上帝，靠着我們的主耶穌基督 就能脫離了 。這樣看來，我以內心順服上帝的律，我肉體卻順服罪的律了。
