Behold, I have only found this: that God made man upright; but they search for many schemes.”

我所找到的只有一件，就是神造人原是正直，但他们寻出许多巧计。

你看，我所找到的只有一件，就是上帝造的人是正直的，但他们却寻出许多诡计。”

你看，我所找到的只有一件，就是神造的人是正直的，但他们却寻出许多诡计。”

我只发现一件事，上帝造的人本来正直，人却找出各种诡计。”

我所明白的，只有这件事：神造人原是正直的，他们却找出许多巧计。”

看哪，我只发现了一件事，就是神造人原是正直的，但人却寻找许多诡计。”

我所明白的，只有這件事：神造人原是正直的，他們卻找出許多巧計。”

看哪，只有這一件我查出了：上帝造人原是正直的，但人卻想法子製作許多巧設的事物來。

我察而知、上帝造人、本為正直、而人所謀、機巧百出、

上帝造人、正直是務、惟人所為、機巧百出、我深察其故矣。

此外、我又察得天主造人、本為正直、惟人則多計謀、逞機巧、

This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”

Here’s the only other thing I found. God created human beings as honest. But they’ve made many evil plans.”

See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path.”

Only see this: I have discovered that God made people upright, but they pursued many schemes.”

Behold, I have found only this, that God made people upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”

Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes.”

This alone have I discovered: God made humankind upright, but they have sought many evil schemes.

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too.Their eyes were opened, and they both knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.

God said,“ Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

“ For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

“ Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate,” says Yahweh.“ For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four- footed animals, and creeping things.Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

“‘“ Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you.In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter- in- law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord Yahweh.“‘“ Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been within you.

saying to Aaron,‘ Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.But God turned, and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets,‘ Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship. I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

They said,“ Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.Yahweh said,“ Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God’s likeness.

“ For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men— the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”He said to them,“ Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.As it is written,“ There is no one righteous; no, not one.There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”“ Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.”“ The poison of vipers is under their lips.”“ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”“ Their feet are swift to shed blood.Destruction and misery are in their ways.The way of peace, they haven’t known.”“ There is no fear of God before their eyes.”Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
