10在这一点上，我们需要来看罗马八章的一些经节。罗马八章三节说，『律法因肉体而软弱，有所不能的，神，既在罪之肉体的样式里，并为著罪，差来了自己的儿子，就在肉体中定罪了罪。』由于我们肉体的软弱，我们不可能成就律法。我们甚么都不能行。就律法而言，我们是毫无可能。因此，神，既在罪之肉体的样式里，并为著罪，差来了自己的儿子，就在肉体中定罪了罪，使『律法义的要求，成就在我们这不照著肉体，只照著灵而行的人身上。』（罗八4。）由于我们肉体的软弱，律法不可能成就，所以神差来了自己的儿子，在积极一面遵行了律法，在消极一面为我们的软弱而死。祂这样作，目的是使律法义的要求成就在我们身上。四节的『我们，』是指那些不照著肉体，只照著灵而行的人。神差自己的儿子来遵行律法，并为我们而死，使我们在灵里行事为人，成就律法义的要求。
10At this point we need to consider some verses in Romans 8. Romans 8:3 says, “For what is impossible to the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh.” Due to the weakness of our flesh, it is impossible for us to fulfill the law. We can do nothing. As far as the law is concerned, our case is impossible. Therefore, God, sending His own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, so that “the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh, but according to spirit” (v. 4). Because it was impossible, due to the weakness of our flesh, for the law to be fulfilled, God sent His Son to keep the law on the positive side, and to die for our weakness on the negative side. His purpose in doing so was that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us. The “us” in verse 4 refers to those who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. God sent His Son to keep the law and to die for us that we may walk in the spirit to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law.
