But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Nun aber sind wir vom Gesetz los und ihm abgestorben, das uns gefangenhielt, also daß wir dienen sollen im neuen Wesen des Geistes und nicht im alten Wesen des Buchstabens.
Mas ahora estamos libres de la ley, habiendo muerto a aquella en la cual estábamos detenidos, para que sirvamos en novedad de espíritu, y no en vejez de letra.
Mais maintenant, nous avons été dégagés de la loi, étant morts à cette loi sous laquelle nous étions retenus, de sorte que nous servons dans un esprit nouveau, et non selon la lettre qui a vieilli.
Ma ora siamo sciolti della legge, essendo morti a quello, nel quale eravam ritenuti; talchè serviamo in novità di spirito, e non in vecchiezza di lettera
Mas agora temos sido libertados da lei, tendo morrido para aquilo em que estávamos retidos; para que sirvamos em novidade de espírito, e não na velhice da letra.
但如今,我們既然在捆綁我們的律法上死了,就從律法中解脫,使我們服侍主,要按著聖靈 的新樣,不按著儀文的舊樣。
