如順命之子、不狥昔時無知之慾、

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；

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

勿同世態、惟以心之更新而變化、致驗上帝旨、乃善而可悅、且純全者也、○

俾不再循人慾、惟循上帝之旨、以度餘年、爾往時從異邦人之欲、而行邪侈、縱恣、沉湎、荒宴、盤樂、及違理拜像之事亦足矣、

毋縱慾、猶不識上帝之異邦人、

從斯世之俗而行、服在空乘權之君、即今運行於悖逆者之靈、

蓋我儕素亦無知、悖逆、迷惑、役於情慾佚樂、以狠毒媢嫉度生、見惡於人、亦彼此相惡、然我救者上帝慈惠仁愛顯著時、則救我儕、非因我行義之功、乃依其矜恤、以重生之盥濯、與聖神之復新、

故當滅爾在地之肢體、即淫亂、污穢、邪情、惡慾、及貪婪、貪婪與拜像一也、是以上帝之怒、臨諸悖逆之人、爾昔生於斯、亦嘗出入其間也、

彼心思蒙昧、外乎上帝之生、因其無知而心頑也、既失其良、狥於邪侈、貪行諸污、爾學基督則不然、爾果聞之、且由之受教、依耶穌之真、爾於夙習之行、宜脫舊人、即以欺罔之慾、而自敗者、

是以往時無知、上帝容之、今乃隨在命眾改悔、

勿為人之虛言所欺、緣此、上帝之怒、臨於悖逆之人、

故我儕既由洗與之同葬而入於死、致如基督由父之榮自死見起、我儕為人、亦如是維新矣、
