爾當猶憶昔為外教人時、如何溺於習俗、惑於無靈之偶像。

你们作外邦人的时候，随事被牵引，受迷惑，去服侍那哑巴偶像，这是你们知道的。

你们知道，你们作外邦人的时候，随事被引诱，受了迷惑去拜不会出声的偶像。

你们知道，你们作外邦人的时候，随事被引诱，受了迷惑去拜不会出声的偶像。

你们知道，自己在信主前曾受到迷惑和引诱去拜不会说话的偶像。

你们知道，你们还是教外人的时候，总是受迷惑被引诱，去拜那不能说话的偶像。

你们知道，当你们还是外邦人的时候，是怎样被引诱、被带到那些不能说话的偶像那里的。

你們作外邦人的時候，隨事被牽引，受迷惑，去服事那啞巴偶像，這是你們知道的。

你們知道，你們作外邦人的時候，隨事被引誘，受了迷惑去拜不會出聲的偶像。

你們知道，你們作外邦人的時候，隨事被引誘，受了迷惑去拜不會出聲的偶像。

你們知道，自己在信主前曾受到迷惑和引誘去拜不會說話的偶像。

你們知道，你們還是教外人的時候，總是受迷惑被引誘，去拜那不能說話的偶像。

你們知道、你們還未信教的時候、怎樣被帶走，隨事受牽引、去拜不能出聲的偶像。

你們知道，當你們還是外邦人的時候，是怎樣被引誘、被帶到那些不能說話的偶像那裡的。

爾為異邦人時、惑於瘖偶、隨所牽引、爾所知也、

爾乃異邦人、素惑於不言之偶像、隨人所誘、

爾原為異邦人、昔崇事不能言之偶像、隨人所誘、此爾所知也、

You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

You know that at one time you were unbelievers. You were somehow drawn away to worship statues of gods that couldn’t even speak.

You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led.

You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.

You know that when you were pagans, you used to be enticed and led astray by mute idols.

You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led.

You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.

You know that when you were pagans, you used to be led off to the idols that could not speak.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

夫過去之日、與世俗同流合污、放縱恣肆、沈湎酒色、崇拜偶像、不已足乎？

外間頗有人嘖嘖稱道吾儕如何獲爾之心、爾等如何拋棄偶像、歸依聖教、兢兢業業、奉事永生真實之天主、

口不能言。耳不能聽。

爾在血統上為外邦人、且一般曾身受人為之割禮者、咸呼爾為未割之民。爾應恆念昔時爾本與基督相隔、處於義塞社會之外、於盟約恩諾為局外人、在世無所仰望、不識天主。

爾中以前亦有屬此類者、今則已賴吾主耶穌基督之名及天主聖神之恩、而洗滌夙穢且受聖而復義矣。

然曩日爾未識天主、猶為偽神所奴；

手不能握。足不能行。雖具喉舌。寂寂無聲。

蓋吾人從前亦昏昧悖逆、徬徨岐途、縱情恣慾、險狠媢嫉；己實可惡、而轉以惡人。

若輩盲者之盲導也；夫以盲導盲、有不相將入坑者乎？』

吾為主故、剴切勸爾、毋復行異邦人之所行、意志虛妄、理智昏昧、冥頑不靈、而自絕於天主之生命。

有口不能言。有目不能視。

應知爾等之得脫於習俗之羈絆其贖價非屬可朽之金銀、
