15在亚当里，我们承受了撒但的性情，就是罪，将我们在素质和元素上构成了罪人。我们也承受了死；这个死，一面使我们在神的事上被动、软弱、无能，另一面作王辖管我们，首先在我们的灵里，然后经过我们的魂，至终辖管我们的身体。不仅如此，在罪与死里，我们受到神公义律法的定罪。作为信徒，我们已经浸入基督，也浸入祂的死，这死把我们从亚当里带出来。此外，我们也在基督复活时蒙了重生；在那再一次的出生里，我们借着祂的复活，被迁到基督里。
15In Adam we inherited the nature of Satan as sin, constituting us sinners in essence and element. We also inherited death, which on the one hand, made us passive, weak, and impotent with respect to the things of God and, on the other hand, reigned first in our spirit, then through our soul, and eventually over our body. Furthermore, in sin and death we became subject to the condemnation of the righteous law of God. As believers, we have been baptized into Christ and also into His death, a death that took us out of Adam. In addition, we were regenerated at the time of Christ’s resurrection, and in that rebirth, through His resurrection, we were transferred into Christ.
