<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>1</span>Only a few of the gospel principles in Romans 7–16 can be included in this outline, so don’t limit yourself to what is addressed here.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>2</span>Pay attention to the inspiration you receive as you study.</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span>As he opened his epistle to the Romans, Paul greeted Church members in Rome by calling them “beloved of God” who were “called to be saints.”</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span>He remarked that their “faith [was] spoken of throughout the whole world” (Romans 1:7–8).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>5</span>Even though Paul spent much of his epistle correcting false ideas and flawed behaviors, it seems he also wanted to assure these new Christian converts that they truly were Saints who were beloved of God.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>6</span>In a humble show of empathy, Paul acknowledged that he had felt like a “wretched man” at times (Romans 7:24), but the gospel of Jesus Christ had given him power to overcome sin (see Joseph Smith Translation, Romans 7:22–27 [in the Bible appendix]).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>7</span>He went on to share tender counsel for all of us who struggle to feel beloved and for whom saintliness may seem out of reach.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>8</span>“Be not overcome of evil,” he said—both evil in the world and evil in ourselves—“but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21).</p>

<div class='section'>Romans 7–8</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書第7～8章</div>
<div class='section'>If I follow the Spirit, I can overcome sin and prepare for an inheritance with God.</div>
<div class='section'>只要我跟從聖靈，就能戰勝罪惡，準備好與神一同繼承產業。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span>Even after entering into “newness of life” through the ordinance of baptism (Romans 6:4), perhaps you have felt some of the inner conflict Paul described in Romans 7—the “warring” between the natural man and our righteous desires (Romans 7:23).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span>But Paul also spoke of hope in Romans 8:23–25.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>11</span>What reasons for this hope do you find in chapter 8?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>12</span>You might also look for blessings that come from having “the Spirit of God dwell in you” (Romans 8:9).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>13</span>How can you seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost more fully in your life?</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 8:17–39</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書8：17-39</div>
<div class='section'>The eternal glory that awaits the faithful far outweighs the trials of mortality.</div>
<div class='section'>為忠信之人所預備的永恆榮耀，遠大於塵世生命的考驗。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>14</span>Just a few years after Paul wrote this epistle, the Saints in Rome suffered horrific persecutions.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span>What do you find in Romans 8:17–39 that might have helped these Saints when persecution came?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span>How might these words apply to you and the trials you currently face?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>17</span>Look for connections between these verses and this counsel from Sister Linda S. Reeves: “I do not know why we have the many trials that we have, but it is my personal feeling that the reward is so great, so eternal and everlasting, so joyful and beyond our understanding that in that day of reward, we may feel to say to our merciful, loving Father, ‘Was that all that was required?’</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>18</span>I believe that if we could daily remember and recognize the depth of that love our Heavenly Father and our Savior have for us, we would be willing to do anything to be back in Their presence again, surrounded by Their love eternally.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>19</span>What will it matter … what we suffered here if, in the end, those trials are the very things which qualify us for eternal life and exaltation in the kingdom of God with our Father and Savior?”</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>20</span>(“Worthy of Our Promised Blessings,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2015, 11).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>21</span>Decide what you will do to “daily remember and recognize” God’s love for you.</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 8:29–30; 9–11</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書8：29-30；第9～11章</div>
<div class='section'>What did Paul mean by “predestinate,” “election,” and “foreknow”?</div>
<div class='section'>保羅說的「預先所定下」、「揀選」、「預先所知道」，是什麼意思？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>22</span>Paul used these terms to teach that some of God’s children were predestined, or appointed beforehand, to receive special blessings and duties so that they could bless all the nations of the world (see Guide to the Scriptures, “Election”).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>23</span>This was based on God’s foreknowledge of His children’s willingness to follow Jesus Christ and become like Him (see also Ephesians 1:3–4; 1 Peter 1:2).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>24</span>However, Paul emphasized in Romans 9–11 that no matter how we come into the house of Israel—or become a member of the Church—all people must receive salvation individually through faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His commandments.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>25</span>For more information, see Alma 13:1–5; “Foreordination,” Gospel Topics (topics.lds.org).</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 12–16</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書第12～16章</div>
<div class='section'>Paul invites me to become a true Saint and follower of Jesus Christ.</div>
<div class='section'>保羅邀請我成為耶穌基督真正的聖徒和跟隨者。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>26</span>The last five chapters of Romans contain dozens of specific instructions regarding how Saints should live.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>27</span>You may not be able to apply all of this counsel at once, but listen to the Spirit, and He can help you find one or two that you could start working on today.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>28</span>Share your desires with your Heavenly Father in prayer, and ask for His help.</p>

<div class='section'>家庭經文研讀和家人家庭晚會的建議</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>29</span>As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>30</span>Here are some suggestions:</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 7:23</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書7：23</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>31</span>To help your family understand more about the “warring” described by Paul in this verse, consider sharing the story about the wolves in Elder Shayne M. Bowen’s article “Agency and Accountability” (New Era, Sept. 2012, 8–9).</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 9:31–32</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書9：31-32</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>32</span>Elder Wilford W. Andersen’s message “The Music of the Gospel” (Ensign or Liahona, May 2015, 54–56) can help illustrate what Paul teaches about the law, works, and faith.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>33</span>Your family might enjoy discussing his talk and trying to dance with and without music.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>34</span>How is dancing without music like obeying the gospel without faith?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>35</span>Elder Wilford W. Andersen taught, “The music of the gospel is [a] joyful spiritual feeling.”</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 10:17; 15:4</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書10：17；15：4</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>36</span>How has studying the word of God brought us the blessings described in these verses?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>37</span>Perhaps family members could share some of their favorite scriptures (see also 2 Nephi 25:26).</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 12</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書第12章</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>38</span>What does it mean to make ourselves “a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God”? (Romans 12:1).</p>
<div class='section'>Romans 14:13–21</div>
<div class='section'>羅馬書14：13-21</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>39</span>Your family might benefit from studying Paul’s counsel about judging and arguing about the personal preferences of others.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>40</span>Perhaps you could discuss appropriate ways to respond when others’ choices differ from yours.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>41</span>How can we be more mindful of how our own choices affect others?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>42</span>The videos “Judging Others? Stop It!” and “Looking through Windows” (LDS.org) could provide additional insights on this topic.</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>45</span>“When you invite children to create something related to a gospel principle, you help them better understand the principle. …</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>46</span>Allow them to build, draw, color, write, and create” (see Teaching in the Savior’s Way, 25).</p>
