昔我為謗讟窘逐狎侮者、但我所行、乃由不知不信、故蒙矜恤、

我从前是亵渎神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的；然而我还蒙了怜悯，因我是不信不明白的时候而做的。

我从前是亵渎、迫害、侮慢上帝的人；然而我还蒙了怜悯，因为我是在不信、不明白的时候做的。

我从前是亵渎、迫害、侮慢神的人；然而我还蒙了怜悯，因为我是在不信、不明白的时候做的。

尽管我从前是个亵渎上帝、迫害和侮辱信徒的人，但我仍然蒙了怜悯，因为那时我无知，还没有信耶稣。

我从前是亵渎神的、迫害人的、凌辱人的，然而我还蒙了怜悯，因为我是在不信的时候，由于无知而作的。

虽然我原先是亵渎神的、逼迫人的、侮慢人的，但是我却蒙了怜悯，因为我是在不信、不明白的时候做的；

我從前是褻瀆神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的；然而我還蒙了憐憫，因我是不信不明白的時候而做的。

雖則我先前是謗讟、逼迫、損害者。然而我蒙了憐憫，因為我是在不信中愚蒙而作的，

雖然我原先是褻瀆神的、逼迫人的、侮慢人的，但是我卻蒙了憐憫，因為我是在不信、不明白的時候做的；

昔我嘗謗讟、窘逐、狎侮之、第此妄作、乃由不知不信而然、故猶蒙矜恤、

我昔為毀謗者、窘逐者、侮慢者、但此因在不信之時、無知而作、故猶蒙矜恤、

我本為褻瀆天主、摧殘教會、倨傲無禮之人、而竟蒙天主之矜憐者、蓋以我當時未有信德、盲目而行耳。

Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.

I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn’t a believer.

though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,

even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief.

even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief,

even though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

掃羅殘害教會、入諸家、執男女、下之獄、○

亞拿尼亞曰、主、我聞於眾、此人於耶路撒冷多端虐遇爾之聖徒、

夫人既蒙光照、得承天賚、共與聖神、且承上帝嘉言、及來世之權能、後若離棄、則不能使之更新而改悔、因其復釘上帝子於十架而顯辱之、蓋地既霑屢降之雨、而生百蔬、適耕者之用、則受祝於上帝、若生棘茨則見棄、而近於詛、終見爇矣、○

耶穌曰、我為鞫入世、使不見者得見、而見者反瞽也、同在之法利賽人聞之曰、我儕亦瞽乎、耶穌曰、爾若瞽、則無罪、今云我見、爾罪尚在焉、

兄弟乎、今我知爾所行、由於不知、爾之有司亦然、

爾聞我昔在猶太教所行者、窘逐上帝會實甚、而殘賊之、

我儕既識真理、而故干罪、則無復有贖罪之祭、惟戰慄待鞫、及滅諸敵之烈火耳、拒摩西之律者、有二三人為證、其死無恤、況踐踏上帝子、以所由成聖之約血為俗、且狎侮施恩之神、爾意若人受刑、其重為何如乎、

我曾窘逐斯道之人、以至於死、無論男女、繫付於獄、

如其故犯、乃褻瀆耶和華、不論宗族賓旅、必絕於民中、

然我蒙矜恤、俾耶穌基督於我為首者、彰厥恆忍、為後信而得永生者之模範、

昔爾不順上帝、今因彼之不順而蒙矜恤、如是、彼今不順、緣施爾之矜恤、亦蒙矜恤焉、

耶穌曰、父歟、赦之、蓋彼不知所為也、兵卒鬮分其衣、

且律既至、俾愆益增、罪既增、而恩愈洪矣、致如罪於死中乘權、恩亦若是由義而乘權至於永生、惟因我主耶穌基督焉、

曰、主、爾為誰、曰、我乃爾所窘迫之耶穌也、

故當毅然近於恩座、以得矜恤、並承隨時之恩佑焉、

昔我意謂拿撒勒耶穌之名、當多方攻之、又嘗行之於耶路撒冷、且由祭司諸長受權、多囚聖徒、迨其見殺、我亦許之、又屢刑之於會堂、強使褻瀆、攻之益狂、窘逐之至於外邑、

我必播斯民於斯土、矜憫乎未受矜憫者、語未為我民者曰、爾為我民、彼必曰、爾為我上帝、

掃羅向主之門徒、仍出威嚇殺戮之言、詣大祭司、

依熱衷則窘逐教會、依律中之義、則無間然、

僕知主意而不備、不順其意者、見扑必多、

蓋未識義路、較識之而背所受之聖誡猶愈也、斯人也、如諺所云、犬既吐而轉食之、豕既浴而復淖之、

論及處女、我未奉主命、惟蒙主矜恤以為忠、則以己意示之、

我乃使徒之微者、曾窘逐上帝會、不堪稱為使徒也、

素非為民、今為上帝民、素未蒙恤、今蒙恤矣、○
