as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:

你们既作顺命的儿女，就不要效法从前蒙昧无知的时候那放纵私欲的样子。

作为顺服的儿女，就不要效法从前蒙昧无知的时候那放纵私欲的样子。

作为顺服的儿女，就不要效法从前蒙昧无知的时候那放纵私欲的样子。

你们既是顺服的儿女，就不要再像从前无知的时候那样放纵私欲。

你们既是顺服的儿女，就不要再效法从前无知的时候放纵私欲的生活。

做为顺从的儿女，不可效法你们原先愚昧无知时的那些欲望；

你們既作順命的兒女，就不要效法從前蒙昧無知的時候那放縱私慾的樣子。

作為順服的兒女，就不要效法從前蒙昧無知的時候那放縱私慾的樣子。

作為順服的兒女，就不要效法從前蒙昧無知的時候那放縱私慾的樣子。

你們既是順服的兒女，就不要再像從前無知的時候那樣放縱私慾。

你們既是順服的兒女，就不要再效法從前無知的時候放縱私慾的生活。

作為聽從的兒女，你們可不要和先前無知時的私慾同形狀啊。

做為順從的兒女，不可效法你們原先愚昧無知時的那些欲望；

如順命之子、不狥昔時無知之慾、

爾既為子、而悅從天父、則勿仍暗昧以狥欲、

爾既為順命之子、則毋如昔蒙昩之時、放縱嗜慾、

務為天主之孝子、毋復縱情恣慾、一如昔日未聞道時之所為也。

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

You should obey your Father. You shouldn’t give in to evil desires. They controlled your life when you didn’t know any better.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

Like obedient children, do not comply with the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance,

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;

being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.But ye did not so learn Christ;if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:

Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
