昔爾不順上帝、今因彼之不順而蒙矜恤、

你们从前不顺服神，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜恤。

你们从前不顺服上帝，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜悯。

你们从前不顺服神，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜悯。

你们从前不顺服上帝，然而因为他们的不顺服，你们现在反蒙了怜悯。

正如你们从前不顺服神，现在却因着他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜悯；

正如你们以前不肯信从神而现在却因他们的不信从反而蒙了怜悯；

你們從前不順服神，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐恤。

你們從前不順服上帝，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐憫。

你們從前不順服神，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐憫。

你們從前不順服上帝，然而因為他們的不順服，你們現在反蒙了憐憫。

正如你們從前不順服神，現在卻因著他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐憫；

你們從前不順服上帝，如今因他們的不順服、你們倒蒙了憐恤；

正如你們以前不肯信從神而現在卻因他們的不信從反而蒙了憐憫；

昔爾曹不信上帝、今轉緣以色列人之不信、而蒙矜恤、

昔爾曹不信天主、今反因以色列人之不信、而蒙矜恤、

適如曩日爾曹未順天主、今乃緣義塞人之不順、而蒙矜恤；

Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,

At one time you did not obey God. But now you have received mercy because Israel did not obey.

For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.

As you once disobeyed God but now have received mercy through their disobedience,

For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

As you once disobeyed God, but now have received mercy through their disobedience,

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

豈不知不義者不得承上帝國乎、毋受惑、凡淫亂、拜像、行姦、為孌童、比頑童、竊盜、貪婪、沉湎、詬詈、苛索者、皆不得承上帝國也、爾中素有如是者、惟以主耶穌基督名、及我上帝之神、已洗滌成聖而見義焉、○

且爾素以罪愆而死、從斯世之俗而行、服在空乘權之君、即今運行於悖逆者之靈、

爾昔生於斯、亦嘗出入其間也、

論及處女、我未奉主命、惟蒙主矜恤以為忠、則以己意示之、

故我儕既蒙矜恤、而受此役、則不餒、

如是、彼今不順、緣施爾之矜恤、亦蒙矜恤焉、

蓋我儕素亦無知、悖逆、迷惑、役於情慾佚樂、以狠毒媢嫉度生、見惡於人、亦彼此相惡、然我救者上帝慈惠仁愛顯著時、則救我儕、非因我行義之功、乃依其矜恤、以重生之盥濯、與聖神之復新、即上帝由我救者耶穌基督厚注我儕者、俾得以其恩而見義、且依永生之望、成為嗣子、

如是爾不復為外人、為客旅、乃與聖徒同籍、為上帝之眷屬、建於使徒先知之基、基督耶穌為屋隅之首石、諸宇於彼中結構、漸成主之聖殿、

素非為民、今為上帝民、素未蒙恤、今蒙恤矣、○

我子提摩太乎、依昔指爾之預言、以此警戒託爾、致爾以之而戰善戰、

當時爾與基督相隔、與以色列民相異、外乎應許諸約、無有所望、在世無上帝、今則於基督耶穌、爾素為遠者、以基督血得近、
