夫爾等本已死於罪中、縱情恣慾、漫無克制、而天主竟賜爾等與基督同生、惠然赦免吾人宿罪、

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,

At one time you were dead in your sins. Your desires controlled by sin were not circumcised. But God gave you new life together with Christ. He forgave us all our sins.

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.

And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive with him and forgave us all our trespasses.

And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings,

And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;

And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive with Him and forgave us all our trespasses.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

And even though you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.

You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

曩者爾等本已死於罪孽之中、

緣基督之偉功、拔吾人於罪中、起吾人於已死、俾吾人得與基督同享生命；且天主實已賜吾人托基督而復活、托基督而位於諸天之上矣。

按經所載、始祖亞當賦有血氣之生命；而後來之亞當、則為賦予生命之神靈也。

苟得復活耶穌者之神寓於爾心、則彼既能起耶穌於死亦必憑其寓爾心中之神、復活爾有死之肉身矣。

申言之天主實寓基督內、慨然賜世人與之言歸於好、而不復計其舊惡、更簡吾儕專司重歡之道；

矧以基督無玷之身、憑聖神而自獻於天主之寶血、不更應滌吾人之良心於一切致死之行、俾得昭事永生之天主乎？

不寧惟是、使吾儕足以任新約之役者、亦惟天主而已。此約也、非本乎文字、乃本乎聖神。蓋文字乃肅殺之具、而聖神則生命之源也。

爾在血統上為外邦人、且一般曾身受人為之割禮者、咸呼爾為未割之民。

蓋基督之仁愛、有使吾人欲罷不能者焉。竊思一人既代眾死、則眾人實已與之偕死。今基督之死、為眾人也；則眾人之生、亦宜不復為己、而為替其受死而復活之主矣。

亦毋將爾四肢百體、獻之於罪、以作不義之器。務須獻身於天主、一若新自死中復活也者；如是則爾之四肢百體、乃成為昭事天主之義器、

吾生歷憂患。皆為主所賜。所以玉我成。所以示微意。行見主霽怒。引我出死地。

吾人能實踐光明之道、有如天主之光明者、則吾人實已彼此神交心契、而天主聖子耶穌之寶血、實已滌除吾人之罪矣。若吾人自謂無罪、是為自欺、而無真諦存乎吾心。吾人苟能自訟其罪、立志自新、則全信全義之天主、必寬赦吾罪、且為蕩滌眾穢矣。

信而無行、猶身之無魂、亦惟死而已矣。

蓋正如父之起死活人、子亦從心所欲、而賦人以生命。

雖在顚沛。寬慰愁腸。常飲活泉。令我自強。

故曰：睡者其興、死者其起！惟彼基督、光明照爾。

是亦愚人也已！夫爾所播之種、必先死而後萌發。

蓋吾兒死而復生、失而復得矣。」

小子乎、吾致書於爾蓋爾罪已賴主之聖名而獲赦矣。

兄弟須知赦罪之道、端賴耶穌而傳。凡摩西律法之所不能使爾稱義者、苟能信賴耶穌、則無在而不稱義矣。

若見人子昇歸本宅、又將如何？

是故吾人亟應以基督聖道之淺近原理為起點、而向前猛進、精益求精、以達純全之域也。

耶穌曰：『任彼死者葬死者、爾但宣揚天主國。』

我在涵育萬物之天主前、復在作證於般雀‧比拉多治下之基督耶穌前、剴切諭汝、

蓋亞伯漢實為萬民之父。經曰：『吾使爾為萬邦之父』此之謂也。顧其所以能在天主之前為眾人之父者、亦曰篤信天主而已。蓋惟天主能予死者以生命、而出萬有於無有耳。

嗚呼、爾亦淺人也已！爾亦知無行之信、乃為空虛無實乎？

主曰：「時既至、當與義塞約如次欲將吾誡命、置彼腔子裏；真諦與妙道、深深銘腑肺；我為彼主宰、彼為我子民其時人人心中皆識主、無庸國人昆弟相提醒；人無大與小、悉與我相親；吾願寬宥其諸惡、不欲再念其罪行。」』

若夫淫蕩之寡婦、則雖生猶死矣

是知徒信而無行、則其信、必索然而無生氣也。

其罪獲赦。其過見宥。樂哉斯人。主恩寬厚。
