8:12 弟兄们，这样，我们并不是欠肉体的债，去照肉体活着。
So then, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh to live according to the flesh;
8:13 因为你们若照肉体活着，必要死；但你们若靠着那灵治死身体的行为，必要活着。
For if you live according to the flesh, you must die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.
8:14 因为凡被神的灵引导的，都是神的儿子。
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
8:15 你们所受的不是奴役的灵，仍旧害怕；所受的乃是儿子名分的灵，在这灵里，我们呼叫：阿爸，父。
For you have not received a spirit of slavery bringing you into fear again, but you have received a spirit of sonship in which we cry, Abba, Father!
8:16 那灵自己同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女。
The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.
8:17 既是儿女，便是后嗣，就是神的后嗣，和基督同作后嗣，只要我们与祂一同受苦，好叫我们也与祂一同得荣耀。
And if children, heirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified with Him.
8:18 因为我算定今时的苦楚，不配与将来要显于我们的荣耀相比。
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed upon us.
8:19 受造之物正在专切期望着，热切等待神的众子显示出来。
For the anxious watching of the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God.
8:20 因为受造之物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意的，乃是因那叫它服的，
For the creation was made subject to vanity, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it,
8:21 指望着受造之物自己，也要从败坏的奴役得着释放，得享神儿女之荣耀的自由。
In hope that the creation itself will also be freed from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
8:22 我们知道一切受造之物一同叹息，一同受生产之苦，直到如今。
For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.
8:23 不但如此，就是我们这有那灵作初熟果子的，也是自己里面叹息，热切等待儿子的名分，就是我们的身体得赎。
And not only so, but we ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, eagerly awaiting sonship, the redemption of our body.
8:24 因为我们是在盼望中得救的；只是所见的盼望不是盼望，谁还盼望他所见的？
For we were saved in hope. But a hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?
8:25 但我们若盼望所不见的，就必忍耐着热切等待。
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it through endurance.
