   罗12:1-2;诗 119:9

   “The Law indeed says it is God’s will and command that we should walk in a new life [Romans 6:4]. But it does not give the power and ability to begin and to do it. The Holy Spirit renews the heart. He is given and received, not through the Law, but through the preaching of the Gospel (Galatians 3:14). 12 Thereafter, the Holy Spirit uses the Law in order to teach the regenerate from it and to point out and show them in the Ten Commandments what is the “will of God, what is ‹good and› acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2) in what “good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk (Ephesians 2:10)”.

   “律法确实说，神的旨意和命令是要我们活出新的生命[罗马书6:4]。但它并没有给人力量和能力来开始并实施。圣灵更新人心。他不是藉着律法，乃是藉着传福音，被给与并接受的(加拉太书3:14)。12因此，圣灵使用法律来教导再生，并在《十诫》中指出并显明“神的旨意是什么，什么是<美善的>、可接受的和完美的(罗马书12:2)。我们当行什么善事，就是神事先准备叫我们行的(以弗所书2:10)。”

   d. The cooperating cause of sanctification is the ________. Phil 2:13

   成圣的合力原因是____________。腓2:13

   65 From this evidence the following is certain: as soon as the Holy Spirit has begun His work of regeneration and renewal in us through the Word and holy Sacraments, we can and should cooperate through His power, although still in great weakness. This cooperation does not come from our fleshly natural powers, but from the new powers and gifts that the Holy Spirit has begun in us in conversion. 66 St. Paul clearly and eagerly encourages that “working together with Him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain” [2 Corinthians 6:1]. But this is to be understood in no other way than the following: the converted person does good to such an extent and as long as God by His Holy Spirit rules, guides, and leads him. As soon as God would withdraw His gracious hand from that person, he could not for a moment keep obeying God. But ‹if anyone would take St. Paul’s words in this sense—› the converted person cooperates with the Holy Spirit the way two horses draw a wagon together—this could not be allowed in any way without damaging the divine truth.

   65从这个证据中，可以肯定以下内容是确定无疑的:只要圣灵通过圣道和圣礼，开始在我们里面产生重生与更新的工作。虽然我们仍有极大的软弱，但我们可以，也应该通过他的能力来合作。这种合作不是来自我们肉身的自然能力，而是来自圣灵在我们里面开始转变的新能力和恩赐。66圣保罗明确并热切地鼓励“我们与神同工的，也劝你们不可徒受他的恩典[哥林多后书6:1]。但这只能理解为:只要神藉着他的圣灵来管理、引导并带领他，回转信主的人就会在一定程度上行善。一旦神要从那人收回他的恩典之手，他一刻也不能顺服神。但是如果有人从这个意义上接受圣保罗的话，回转相信的人就像两匹马拉着一辆马车一样与圣灵合作，无论如何都不可能不损害神圣的真理。5
