6:12 所以不要让罪在你们必死的身体里作王,使你们顺从身体的私欲,
Do not let sin therefore reign in your mortal body so that you obey the body's lusts;
6:13 也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的兵器;倒要像从死人中活过来的人,将自己献给神,并将你们的肢体献给神作义的兵器。
Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness to God.
6:14 罪必不能作主管辖你们,因你们不在律法之下,乃在恩典之下。
For sin will not lord it over you, for you are not under the law but under grace.
6:15 这却怎么样?因我们不在律法之下,乃在恩典之下,就可以犯罪么?绝对不可!
What then? Should we sin, because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not!
6:16 岂不晓得你们将自己献给谁作奴仆,以至于顺从,就作了你们所顺从者的奴仆么?或作罪的奴仆,以至于死,或作顺从的奴仆,以至于义。
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, his slaves you are whom you obey, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?
6:17 感谢神,你们从前虽然作罪的奴仆,现今却从心里顺从了你们被交于其中之教训的规模。
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which you were delivered.
6:18 你们既从罪里得了释放,就作了义的奴仆。
And having been freed from sin, you were enslaved to righteousness.
6:19 我因你们肉体的软弱,就照着人的常情说,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,以至于圣别。
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.
6:20 因为你们作罪之奴仆的时候,就不受义的约束。
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
6:21 那时你们有什么果子?不过是你们现今所看为羞耻的事,那些事的结局就是死。
What fruit then did you have at that time? Things of which you are now ashamed, for the end of those things is death.
6:22 但现今你们既从罪里得了释放,作了神的奴仆,就有圣别的果子,结局就是永远的生命。
But now, having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.
6:23 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,乃是永远的生命。
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
