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

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；

昔爾不順上帝、今因彼之不順而蒙矜恤、

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,

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,

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

And you[ hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,[ and] hating one another.But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner[ stone];In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

Which in time past[ were] not a people, but[ are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
