"因为在肉身受苦的，就已经与罪断绝了。"（彼前 4:1下）for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. (1 Peter 4:1 b)关于得救意味着罪已经死了，罪已经被切断了，我不再在罪的辖制之下了，有了新的认识，其实就是罪已经不在我身上作王了，罪不能再辖制我了，并且我在基督里已经不被定罪，因为基督已经释放了我，使我不再作罪的奴隶，罪在我身上没有任何权势。虽然可能还会有罪的诱惑与试探，但其实这些在我身上已经没有权势了。已经得救的人是从罪中被拯救出来，已经脱离罪了。这是伟大的真理，让人得着真正自由和释放的真理。Regarding salvation and deliverance from sin: I have come to a new understanding that salvation means sin has already died and been cut off. I am no longer under the dominion of sin. In reality,...
