14一个人相信并浸入三一神里,他就与另一个人位有了关联,也就是说他归与另一个人—基督。在他相信并受浸之前,他只与一个人位有关,因他只有他自己(他的旧人)为他的人位;然而,一旦他相信并浸入三一神里,他就与另一个人位产生关联,这乃是神圣的人位,就是我们的救赎主、使人与神和好者并生命救主。这奇妙的人位—神—借着基督的死与复活,与我们产生关联。在基督的死里,我们这旧人死了;在祂的复活里,我们得重生的新人与祂一同复活。我们的旧人既已与基督同钉,我们就从赐给旧人的律法得着释放,并且向神活着。这是极大的改变。
14When a person believes and is baptized into the Triune God, he becomes involved with another person, that is, he marries another person, Christ. Before he believes and is baptized, he is involved with only one person, for he has only himself as his person, that is, his old man. However, once he believes and is baptized into the Triune God, he becomes involved with another person—the divine person who is our Redeemer, Reconciler, and Life-Savior. This wonderful person, God, became involved with us through the death and resurrection of Christ. In His death, we as the old man died, and in His resurrection, we as the regenerated new man were raised with Him. Since our old man has been crucified with Christ, we are freed from the law, which was given to the old man, and we are living to God. This is a great change.
