For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us and bore fruit for death.

因为我们属肉体的时候，那因律法而生的恶欲就在我们肢体中发动，以致结成死亡的果子。

因为我们属肉体的时候，那因律法而生犯罪的欲望在我们肢体中发动，以致结出死亡的果子。

因为我们属肉体的时候，那因律法而生犯罪的欲望在我们肢体中发动，以致结出死亡的果子。

从前我们受自己罪恶本性的控制，因律法而激发的罪恶欲望在我们身上发作，以致结出死亡的果子。

我们从前属肉体的时候，罪恶的情欲藉着律法在我们的肢体里发动，就结出死亡的果子。

原来，当我们还在肉体中的时候，罪的欲望藉着律法在我们身体的各部分做工，以致为死亡结了果子。

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。

因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生犯罪的慾望在我們肢體中發動，以致結出死亡的果子。

因為我們屬肉體的時候，那因律法而生犯罪的慾望在我們肢體中發動，以致結出死亡的果子。

從前我們受自己罪惡本性的控制，因律法而激發的罪惡慾望在我們身上發作，以致結出死亡的果子。

我們從前屬肉體的時候，罪惡的情慾藉著律法在我們的肢體裡發動，就結出死亡的果子。

因為我們從前在肉體裏的時候，那因律法而生的罪之惡情、運用着動力於我們的肢體中，以致給死結果子。

原來，當我們還在肉體中的時候，罪的欲望藉著律法在我們身體的各部分做工，以致為死亡結了果子。

蓋我儕徇形軀時、其由律之惡慾動於肢體、厥果維死、

當我從欲時、情轉因律法而為惡、動乎四體、厥果惟死、

蓋我儕屬肉體之時、罪慾由律法而生者、動於我肢體、使我儕結果以致死、

當吾人尚在肉身之權下、吾人之四肢百體、在在受罪惡之牽引。此罪惡者、生於情慾、滋於律法、終則致死亡之果者也。

For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death.

The power of sin used to control us. The law stirred up sinful desires in us. So the things we did resulted in death.

For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us to bear fruit for death.

For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were brought to light by the Law, were at work in the parts of our body to bear fruit for death.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.

And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.

So what fruit was produced then from the things you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.

For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written: Everyone who does not continue doing everything written in the book of the law is cursed.

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

Therefore, put to death what belongs to your worldly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from the cravings that are at war within you?

The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more

Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law.

For the law produces wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death.

Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.

For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.

He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face— a fading glory—how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness overflows with even more glory.

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh— called“ the uncircumcised” by those called“ the circumcised,” which is done in the flesh by human hands.

Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.

What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet.And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to lifeand I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me.For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.Therefore, did what is good cause my death? Absolutely not! On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.

This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.

I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to moral impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance— as I told you before— that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.For whoever keeps the entire law, yet fails in one point, is guilty of breaking it all.
