爾素遠離、因爾行惡、心中與之為敵、

你们从前与神隔绝，因着恶行，心里与他为敌。

从前你们与上帝隔绝，心思上与他为敌，行为邪恶；

从前你们与神隔绝，心思上与他为敌，行为邪恶；

你们从前与上帝隔绝，行事邪恶，心思意念与祂为敌；

虽然你们从前也是和神隔绝，心思上与他为敌，行为邪恶，

从前，你们在邪恶的行为中与神隔绝，在意念中与他为敌；

你們從前與神隔絕，因着惡行，心裏與他為敵。

從前你們與上帝隔絕，心思上與他為敵，行為邪惡；

從前你們與神隔絕，心思上與他為敵，行為邪惡；

你們從前與上帝隔絕，行事邪惡，心思意念與祂為敵；

雖然你們從前也是和神隔絕，心思上與他為敵，行為邪惡，

你們呢、你們素來在心神上因邪惡的行為被隔絕而做仇敵的、

從前，你們在邪惡的行為中與神隔絕，在意念中與他為敵；

夫爾素以惡行、為異為敵於心、

爾素行惡、厥心悖逆、不附上帝、

爾等前因惡業向與天主睽隔；

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.

At one time you were separated from God. You were enemies in your minds because of your evil ways.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,

This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.

Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds as expressed in your evil actions.

And although you were previously alienated and hostile in attitude, engaged in evil deeds,

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,

Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds because of your evil actions.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in[ your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds,

You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,

當時爾與基督相離、在以色列民中無分、與所應許之諸約無與、無有所望、處世而無天主、

昔我儕亦無知、背逆、迷惑、役於嗜慾及諸淫佚、常行暴很媢嫉之事、且為人所惡、而彼此相惡、惟我救主天主矜憐仁愛顯著之時、拯救我、非由我行義之功、乃由其矜恤、使我受洗重生、賜我聖神以復新、原文作拯救我非由我行義之功乃由重生之洗與聖神之復新而救我儕聖神乃天主因我救主耶穌基督、厚賜我儕、使我賴其恩寵而得稱義、希望為嗣子得永生、

其心蒙昩、愚頑無知、而棄天主生命之道、

昔爾若死、皆陷於罪愆、所行乃循今世之俗、從在空中掌權之君、即今誘惑悖逆不順者之神、昔我眾亦在其內、逞肉體之慾、隨身心所欲而行、本為天主所怒、與他人無異、

今我儕因基督之血、既得稱義、不更可賴之而免怒乎、我儕為敵之時、賴其子之死、得與天主復和、今已復和、不更因其生而得救乎、

凡物於潔者無有不潔、於見污及不信者、一無所潔、因其心其志亦已污矣、彼自言識天主、而行則拒之、皆為可憎者、違逆者、絕於諸善者、

豈不知不義之人、必不得天主之國、勿自欺、凡行淫者、拜偶像者、姦人妻者、為孌童者、親男色者、盜竊者、沈湎者、詬詈者、勒索者、皆不得天主國、爾中有人、素亦如是、今賴主耶穌基督之名、及我天主之神、得洗滌成聖稱義、○

為殘害者、毀謗者、怨天主者、傲慢者、驕縱者、矜誇者、機心作惡者、違逆父母者、

體肉體、乃與天主為仇、因不服天主之法、且不能服也、故凡從肉體者、不能見悅於天主、

如此、爾曹不復為外人、不復為客旅、乃與聖徒為一邦、為天主一家之人、

淫亂之男女乎、豈不知愛世即惡天主、凡欲與世為友者、即與天主為敵也、
