罗马书 5:19 因一人的悖逆，众人成为罪人；照样，因一人的顺从，众人也成为义了。(现代标点和合本)
Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. (NKJV)
在希腊⽂⾥，“旧事”指的是“起始者” 。我们的起源是从亚当⽽来。藉着亚当，罪、死和咒诅进⼊了这世界。我们曾在亚当的权下⽣活，但圣经说旧事已经过去了。那个起始者、那个在亚当⾥的⾝份已经终结了。亚当堕落所带下来的⼀切旧事 (⽣⽼死病) 都已成过去。如今，因为基督，我们不再活在那旧时代，我们拥有新的⽣命。亚当带来了死亡以及所衍⽣出来的⽣⽼死病 - 疾病、羞耻、惧怕和定罪。但神的⼉⼦耶 稣来了，不是来修复旧的或是缝缝补补，⽽ 是赐给我们全新的⽣命。当你重⽣的时候，你不是旧我的修复或升级版，⽽是全新再创造出来的。阿们！
In the Greek, the phrase “old things” refers to the origin—where something comes from. Our original lineage, our origin, is from Adam. Through Adam came sin, death, and the curse. We were once under the reign of Adam, but the Word says that the old has passed away. That origin, that identity under Adam, has ended. All the curses, all the failures, all the pain associated with Adam’s fall—they have passed away. Today, because of Christ, we no longer live under those times. We do not have the old—we have the new. Amen. Adam brought death and everything that came with it: sickness, shame, fear, and condemnation. But Jesus, the Son of God, came—not to restore but to give us an entirely new life. When you are born again, you are not a repaired or upgraded version of your old self—you are a brand-new creation. Amen!
