彼既不願存天主於念、天主聽其存邪僻之心、行所不當行者、

他们既然故意不认识神，神就任凭他们存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；

他们既然故意不认识上帝，上帝就任凭他们存扭曲的心，做那些不该做的事，

他们既然故意不认识神，神就任凭他们存扭曲的心，做那些不该做的事，

既然他们故意不认识上帝，上帝就任凭他们心思败坏，做不当做的事。

他们既然故意不认识神，神就任凭他们存着败坏的心，去作那些不正当的事。

既然人不愿意真正认识神，神就任凭他们存败坏的理性，去做那些不该做的事。

他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存邪僻的心，行那些不合理的事；

他們既然故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們存扭曲的心，做那些不該做的事，

他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存扭曲的心，做那些不該做的事，

既然他們故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們心思敗壞，做不當做的事。

他們既然故意不認識神，神就任憑他們存著敗壞的心，去作那些不正當的事。

他們怎樣在認識上帝選擇了「無上帝」，上帝就怎樣把他們放給不上選的心思，去行不該行的事；

既然人不願意真正認識神，神就任憑他們存敗壞的理性，去做那些不該做的事。

彼知識中既不願有上帝、上帝遂任其喪心、行非宜之行、

彼既不以上帝存於中、上帝聽其喪心、行所不當行、

若輩既冥頑不靈、心棄天主、則天主亦愛莫能助、於是聽其昧心恣行、

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

They didn’t think it was important to know God. So God let them continue to have evil thoughts. They did things they shouldn’t do.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper,

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.

And even as they did not like to retain God in[ their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

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;

及種種惑眾之邪惡、在將沈淪者之中、蓋彼眾不悅真理、且不受之而得救、故天主使其大謬、信從虛偽、使凡不信真理反悅不義者、悉被定罪、○

彼雖知天主、不以天主尊之、亦不謝之、乃思念虛妄、心以頑而愈昧、

彼自言識天主、而行則拒之、皆為可憎者、違逆者、絕於諸善者、

主諭先知曰、爾居詭詐人中、因詭詐不願識我、

故天主聽其心之嗜慾、淪於污穢、互辱其身、

曰、哀哉、我厭棄訓誨、心中藐視督責、不聽師言、不向教我者傾耳、

以烈火烈火原文作火焰施刑、而報不識天主不服我耶穌基督福音者、

昔雅尼佯比利敵摩西、此等人、亦如是敵真理、其人壞心術、見絕於聖道、見絕於聖道或作於主道被擯者

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、

人必稱之為被棄之銀、因主已棄之矣、

因厭惡知識、不以畏主為悅、

此世之主此世之主即魔迷惑此等不信者之心、基督榮耀福音之光不照之、基督乃天主之像、我所宣者非己、乃主基督耶穌也、我因耶穌為爾僕、昔天主命光由暗而照、今照於我心、以光照人、使其知天主之榮、即在基督面所顯者也、

當醒悟以行義、勿犯罪、蓋有人不識天主、我言此以愧爾、○

曰、爾拙者悅於拙、侮慢者樂於侮慢、愚者厭惡知識、將至何時、

其平日對天主曰、爾離我、我不願知爾之道、孰為全能之主、事之何為、祈之何益、

爾當自省信主否、亦當自試、抑爾不自知、爾若非見棄者、則耶穌基督必在爾中乎、我望爾知我非見棄者、我求天主、使爾不行惡、非欲顯我見納、惟欲爾行善、雖有人視我如見棄者、亦可、

且天主之怒、由天而顯、罰諸不虔不義、即行不義阻真理之人、

我民因無知滅亡、惟爾為祭司者、厭棄知識、故我厭棄爾、不容爾於我前為祭司、爾既忘爾天主之律法、我亦必忘爾之子女、

敬畏天主、是為智慧之本、愚昧人藐視智慧與訓誨、

愚者既無頴悟、執金於手以市智慧、亦屬徒然、

主曰、我民愚拙、俱不知我、蒙昧之子、毫無明哲、惟巧於行惡、不知行善、

凡諸計謀、諸傲慢、自高而逆天主道者、悉敗之、且以人之心志奪回、或作且擄人之心志使服基督、

我賴基督、雖能以所宜者毅然命爾、

淫詞、妄言、戲謔、亦非所宜、莫若稱謝主恩、

是以天主聽其縱可恥之慾、婦女以順性之用、易以逆性之用、

眾聞死者復活之言、有笑之者、有曰、我儕願再聞爾說此、

彼不欲知太初以主命而有天、亦有地出於水、賴水而立、賴水而立或作立於水中

我適遊行、欲觀爾所崇拜者、遇一祭壇、上刻曰、未識之主、爾所未識而崇拜者、今我告爾、
