彼得前書 2:11
Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
親愛的弟兄啊，你們是客旅，是寄居的。我勸你們要禁戒肉體的私慾；這私慾是與靈魂爭戰的。
羅馬書 8:12
- 13
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation-but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
弟兄們，這樣看來，我們並不是欠肉體的債去順從肉體活著。
你們若順從肉體活著，必要死；若靠著聖靈治死身體的惡行，必要活著。
羅馬書 8:2
- 4
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
因為賜生命聖靈的律，在基督耶穌裡釋放了我，使我脫離罪和死的律了。
律法既因肉體軟弱，有所不能行的，神就差遣自己的兒子，成為罪身的形狀，作了贖罪祭，在肉體中定了罪案，
使律法的義成就在我們這不隨從肉體、只隨從聖靈的人身上。
路加福音 5:13
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him.
耶穌伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」大痲瘋立刻就離了他的身。
羅馬書 7:14
- 25
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing.
Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
For in my inner being I delight in God's law;
but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?
Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
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。
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。
若我所做的，是我所不願意的，我就應承律法是善的。
既是這樣，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裡頭的罪做的。
我也知道在我裡頭，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。
故此，我所願意的善，我反不做；我所不願意的惡，我倒去做。
若我去做所不願意做的，就不是我做的，乃是住在我裡頭的罪做的。
我覺得有個律，就是我願意為善的時候，便有惡與我同在。
因為按著我裡面的意思（原文作人），我是喜歡神的律；
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。
我真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這取死的身體呢？
感謝神，靠著我們的主耶穌基督就能脫離了。這樣看來，我以內心順服神的律，我肉體卻順服罪的律了。
