蓋天主使耶穌為贖罪而犧牲、俾信賴其聖血者得蒙赦宥、亦所以彰其正義耳。吾人賴天主之寬容、宿罪全銷、重負頓釋。

神设立耶稣作挽回祭，是凭着耶稣的血，藉着人的信，要显明神的义；因为他用忍耐的心宽容人先时所犯的罪，

上帝设立耶稣作赎罪祭，是凭耶稣的血，藉着信，要显明上帝的义；因为他用忍耐的心宽容人先前所犯的罪，好使今时显明他的义，让人知道他自己为义，也称信耶稣的人为义。

上帝使基督耶稣成为赎罪祭，以便人借着相信耶稣的宝血可以得到赦免。这是为了显明上帝的义，因为祂用忍耐的心宽容人过去的罪，

神设立了耶稣为赎罪祭（“赎罪祭”直译作“赎罪或使神息怒之法”），是凭着他的血，藉着人的信，为的是要显明神的义；因为神用忍耐的心宽容了人从前所犯的罪，

神预先定下耶稣为平息祭，是用耶稣的血、藉着人的信，为要显明神自己的义；因为他用忍耐的心，宽容人过去所犯的罪，

這耶穌、上帝顯然立為除罪法，憑着人的信、本着耶穌的血、來做上帝救人之義的明證。因為上帝用他的寬容、對人先時所犯的罪過都不追究，

God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood— to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

God gave Christ as a sacrifice to pay for sins through the spilling of his blood. So God forgives the sins of those who have faith. God did all this to prove that he does what is right. He is a God of mercy. So he did not punish for their sins the people who lived before Jesus lived.

whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,

God presented him as the mercy seat by his blood, through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in God’s merciful restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished;

whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

God presented Him as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

Whom God hath set forth[ to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.

whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;

應知爾等之得脫於習俗之羈絆其贖價非屬可朽之金銀、乃為基督之寶血。基督乃無玷無染之羔羊！其受命誠在無始之始、其顯現則在茲末世。

舉世莫非罪人、固未有能懷天主之明德者也。故人之稱義、惟憑耶穌基督之救贖；此實天主之慈恩、不勞而獲者也。

吾人未愛天主、而天主先愛吾人、且遣其聖子、為吾人之罪惡、作息怒之犧牲；愛德即在斯中。

基督者、贖罪之犧牲、不僅贖吾人之罪、亦贖全世人類之罪也。

昔在蒙昧之世、天主尚予優容、今已檄曉人群、咸當幡然悔改、

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？且其所以為新約之仲介者、亦欲以一己之死、贖人於舊約下所犯之眾罪、而令蒙召者得承受所許之永遠基業耳。新約乃最後之遺囑也、既云遺囑、則立遺囑者必有一死、死而後其遺囑始生效、未有其人尚存、而其遺囑已生效者。因此之故、即舊約之成立、亦未始無血。摩西既將律法之諸誡、當眾宣讀乃取水與牛犢山羊之血、束朱絨於蘆葦、以血與水灑於其書、及眾民之身、而告之曰：『此乃天主所命與爾眾結約之盟血也。』凡帳幕及一切聖器、亦莫不灑以血焉；吾人即曰一切器皿什物依法必藉血以淨、亦非過言。是故欲求罪孽之赦、除流血外、其道末由。

來胤後嗣。事主惟勤。世代緜緜。恭聆福音。

且吾人賴基督之聖血、既得赦罪而成義、不更能賴之以望免刑乎？

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。

諾厄既承示未形之事、心懷惕若、乃豫備方舟、以濟其家。彼之為此、實憑信德；且彼之信德、即所以證世之罪、而自躋於因信成義之域耳。

諸老合奏新歌一曲、其詞曰：誰堪受其書而啟其緘兮、惟爾具斯大德、爾曾自獻為犧牲兮、流爾寶血；贖元元於各種各族兮、萬邦重譯；俾翕然歸返乎天主兮、以成神國；

凡厥名自創世以來未錄於被宰羔羊之生命冊者、咸將翕然、景仰此獸。

凡此何一非因信德而見稱者乎？顧其未獲所許者何也？蓋天主夙為吾人備有更微妙之事、而古人之成全、實有待乎吾人者焉。

凡不見錄於生命冊者、皆投入火池。

猶太人互相爭論曰：『斯人亦焉能以其軀體食吾人乎？』耶穌又謂之曰：『予切實告爾、爾苟不食人子之體而飲其血、則爾不具生命。凡食吾體而飲吾血者、乃得永生、而予必復活之於末日。蓋吾體乃真食、吾血乃真飲。食吾體而飲吾血者、存乎我而我亦存乎其中也。正如永生之父遣予、而予因父而活、食予者亦將因予而活。

兄弟乎、吾人茲得藉耶穌之寶血、遵其為吾人開闢之路、而自由進入閟幄矣。此新路也、亦生路也。其所通過之帷幕、則基督之肉身也。

抑爾藐視天主之大仁大慈、寬容忍耐、而不知其涵宏寬大之所以啟人悔悟乎？

吾人既因信德而成義、則當托庇吾主耶穌基督、融融洩洩以親天主矣。

匱之上、設恩座、有光華燦爛之𠼻𡀔［口氷］覆冀之。其他陳置、此處無庸詳述。

而天地萬物、皆藉基督咸得與天主重相契合、而歸於太和；而其所以致此太和者、則十字架上所流之寶血耳。爾等前因惡業向與天主睽隔；今則藉基督之死、托基督之身、而得與之融融洩洩、重相契合矣。基督且欲使爾等純潔無疵、無可指摘、而獻之於天主之前；是在爾等篤守信德、確乎不拔、以保因聞福音而得之希望而已。此福音已布於普天生靈、而我葆樂竟得供役於斯。

吾人常言、基督之降生斯世、為救罪人也。旨哉言乎、不我欺也。而罪人之中、吾其尤著者也。

作是語者、明示若輩之家園、實另有所在也。

無他、牛羊之血、固不能洗滌罪孽也。

且當亞伯漢之見試也、毅然以依灑格為獻夫彼乃承受恩諾之人也；

予切實告爾、信者得永生、

即就吾祖亞伯漢而論、若祇憑其本身之智力、亦何所得乎？彼若欲以事功見稱、誠有所誇；然在天主之前、實不足多也。經不云乎：『亞伯漢篤信天主、因是而稱義焉。』若徒憑事功、則其所得者乃為酬報、不復為恩賜矣。正惟不以事功為言、而篤信赦罪之主、乃能因其信德而稱義耳。昔大維亦曾詠嘆不恃事功惟賴恩主而成義者之真福云：『罪而獲赦、過而見宥、福哉斯人、主恩實厚！主不歸罪、真心痛悔、福哉斯人、主恩實大！』

天主早藉先知之口、預言基督必將蒙難、事已見應；

若曰吾向未犯罪、是不啻使天主成為誑者、尚得謂有真諦存乎其心乎。

不寧惟是、吾人既托吾主耶穌基督之恩、重得與天主相親、則胥宜怡然自樂、而優游於天主聖懷之中。

於是天主之正義、昌明於斯世。是天主使吾人信耶穌而成義、亦所以自彰其義也。

彼亦無須迭次自獻、如通常大司祭之必須歲攜不屬自身之血、以進閟帷也。不然、創世以來基督之受苦難、將不勝其頻繁矣。實則在茲季世，基督方始降世、自作一勞永逸之祭獻、以除免世罪耳。

爾義不匱。爾法惟眞。

彼按天主之定謨及預知、被付於人而爾曹復假不義者之手、釘死之於十字架上；

以奉行爾所手訂之聖謨者也。

集之與我前。宣布我玄隲。臬司主親任。睿斷惟正直。

亦欲向大會。宣布爾佳音。諄諄何曾倦。惟主知我心。

誰作斯語經綸主、真宰夙知今所為。

諸天宣義理。萬民仰光烈。
