that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

He wants all of you to learn to control your own bodies. You must live in a way that is holy. You must live with honor.

that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor—

that each of you knows how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

so that each of you knows how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor,

that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

然彼等如不耐獨身、則亦不妨婚嫁；與其慾火焚身、何如琴瑟和諧之為愈乎。

豈不知爾等之身、乃基督之肢體乎？寧能將基督之肢體、一變而為娼妓之肢體乎？無此理也！

為夫者亦應體恤厥婦、憐其孱弱、平居待之以禮尊重女性。當念彼乃與爾伉儷敵體、共承永生之恩澤者也。且惟如此、則爾等祈禱方能專心、而無阻礙耳。

兄弟乎、我憑天主之仁慈、剴切求爾獻身天主、而為有生之犧牲、聖潔無疵、以邀天主之悅納；此即內心事主之道也。

婚姻為聖潔之事、床笫不容沾辱。淫人妻女、必遭天誅。

惟為避免邪淫起見、則男娶女嫁、亦屬無妨。

故兄弟務須自愛、於邪淫之事、避之惟恐不遠。一切罪惡、施於身外、惟邪淫為褻瀆自身。豈不知天主已賜爾以聖神、而爾身即為聖神之宮殿乎？爾身非復爾之所有；蓋主曾出重價以贖之矣。故爾亟宜在爾身上光榮天主也。

抑陶人於泥無自由處置之權、而不能於同一撮土中、製成貴賤不同之器耶？若天主欲宣其威而彰其德、對於可惡可毀之器、已予百般容忍、而對於吾人預定為榮貴之器、沛加恩澤、以揚其無窮之榮、

然此真光之在吾人、猶珍寶之藏於瓦器也。應知可貴者在天主之德、而不在吾人之身。

主曰：『第往、斯人乃吾特選之器、將以吾名播諸異族與列王、以及義塞子孫。

今爾等靈修未深、請以庸言明之。正如爾等曩日曾以爾之四肢百體、為邪淫不法之僕、以滋罪惡；今望爾等以四肢百體、為正義之僕、以登聖域也。

因是天主亦聽其縱情恣慾、淪於污穢、互辱其身。

最後尚有一言、以奉兄弟：凡屬真實無妄、溫雅有度、公正高尚、可愛可喜、可歌可泣之事、苟有一德之美、片善之著、皆爾所當盡心也。

雖然、同一大宅之中、固有金銀之器、亦有木器瓦器；或為貴器、或為賤器。人苟能滌垢蕩瑕、澡身浴德、則必得成為高尚之器、既聖且潔、必蒙其主大用、以成善工。
