因為你們有人性的軟弱，我就從人的立場向你們解釋。以前你們將身體獻給骯髒不法的事，任其奴役，助長不法。現在你們要將身體奉獻給義，為義效勞，成為聖潔的人。

我因你们肉体的软弱，就照人的常话对你们说。你们从前怎样将肢体献给不洁不法作奴仆，以至于不法；现今也要照样将肢体献给义作奴仆，以至于成圣。

我因你们肉体的软弱，就以人的观点来说。你们从前怎样把肢体献给不洁不法作奴隶，以至于不法；现在也要照样将肢体献给义作奴仆，以至于成圣。

因为你们有人性的软弱，我就从人的立场向你们解释。以前你们将身体献给肮脏不法的事，任其奴役，助长不法。现在你们要将身体奉献给义，为义效劳，成为圣洁的人。

因为你们肉体的弱点，我就按一般人的话来说，你们从前怎样把你们的肢体献给不洁和不法作奴仆，以致于不法，现在也要照样把你们的肢体献给义作奴仆，以致于成圣。

因着你们肉体的软弱，我就按照人的说法来讲，那就是，你们从前怎样把身体的各部分献给污秽和罪恶做奴仆，以致罪恶；现在也要照样把你们身体的各部分献给义做奴仆，以致分别为圣。

我因你們肉體的軟弱，就照人的常話對你們說。你們從前怎樣將肢體獻給不潔不法作奴僕，以至於不法；現今也要照樣將肢體獻給義作奴僕，以至於成聖。

我因你們肉體的軟弱，就以人的觀點來說。你們從前怎樣把肢體獻給不潔不法作奴隸，以至於不法；現在也要照樣將肢體獻給義作奴僕，以至於成聖。

我因你們肉體的軟弱，就以人的觀點來說。你們從前怎樣把肢體獻給不潔不法作奴隸，以至於不法；現在也要照樣將肢體獻給義作奴僕，以至於成聖。

因為你們肉體的弱點，我就按一般人的話來說，你們從前怎樣把你們的肢體獻給不潔和不法作奴僕，以致於不法，現在也要照樣把你們的肢體獻給義作奴僕，以致於成聖。

我因了你們肉體之軟弱、且照人類的說法來講：你們從前怎樣將你們的肢體獻給污穢和不法做奴僕、以至於不法，如今也當怎樣將你們的肢體獻給義做奴僕、以至於聖化。

因著你們肉體的軟弱，我就按照人的說法來講，那就是，你們從前怎樣把身體的各部分獻給汙穢和罪惡做奴僕，以致罪惡；現在也要照樣把你們身體的各部分獻給義做奴僕，以致分別為聖。

因爾形軀之弱、我則以常人所言言之、爾曹曾獻肢體為不潔不法之僕、以至無度、今宜獻肢體為義之僕、以至成聖、

爾固昏庸、我試因人所言言之、爾曾獻四體為惡之僕、致作狂、今當獻四體為義之僕、以作聖、

我今因爾肉體懦弱、試以人言言之、爾曾以肢體獻於不潔及不義為僕以行惡、今當以肢體獻於義為僕以成聖、

今爾等靈修未深、請以庸言明之。正如爾等曩日曾以爾之四肢百體、為邪淫不法之僕、以滋罪惡；今望爾等以四肢百體、為正義之僕、以登聖域也。

I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever- increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

Because you are human, you find this hard to understand. So I am using an everyday example to help you understand. You used to give yourselves to be slaves to unclean living. You were becoming more and more evil. Now give yourselves to be slaves to right living. Then you will become holy.

I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.

I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification.

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to moral impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

( I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

我姑且用人的觀點說：「如果我們的不義可以反襯出上帝的公義，我們該做何論？上帝向我們發怒是祂不公正嗎？」

也不要將你們的身體獻給罪作不義的工具，而是要像一個從死裡復活的人將自己奉獻給上帝，把身體獻給上帝作義的工具。

弟兄姊妹，我舉個日常生活中的例子。世人的合約一經雙方簽訂之後，就不能作廢，也不能加添。

你們當中有些以前就是這樣的人，但靠著主耶穌基督的名和我們上帝的靈，你們已經被洗淨，成為聖潔的義人了。

所以，你們要治死身上屬世的罪惡，如淫亂、污穢、邪情、惡慾和貪心，貪心就是拜偶像，因為上帝的烈怒必臨到做這些事的悖逆之人。你們過去也和他們一樣過著罪惡的生活，

可以在今後的生活中不再隨從人的私慾，只服從上帝的旨意。你們從前長期沉溺於異教徒的嗜好——淫亂、縱慾、醉酒、狂歡、宴樂和可憎的偶像崇拜。如今你們不再和他們同流合污，他們覺得奇怪，就用惡言毀謗你們。

那時，你們隨從今世的風俗，順服在空中掌權的魔鬼，就是如今在一切叛逆上帝之人心中運行的邪靈。我們以前也在他們當中隨從罪惡的本性，放縱肉體和心中的私慾，與其他人一樣本是惹上帝發怒的人。

你們難道不明白嗎？你們獻身給誰、服從誰，就是誰的奴隸。做罪的奴隸，結局是死亡；作上帝的奴僕，就被稱為義人。感謝上帝！你們從前雖然做過罪的奴隸，現在卻衷心服從了所傳給你們的教導，

況且，我們軟弱的時候，有聖靈幫助我們。我們本來不知道怎樣禱告，但聖靈親自用說不出來的歎息替我們祈禱。

你們要謹慎，以免有人失去上帝的恩典，長出苦毒的根擾亂你們，玷污眾人。

要遠避一切世俗的空談，因為好空談的人只會越來越不敬虔。他們講的話像毒瘡，只會越爛越大，許米乃和腓理徒就是例子。

你們自誇不是好事，豈不知小小的一點麵酵，足以使整團麵發起來嗎？

因為我們這位大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱，祂與我們一樣曾經面對各樣的試探，卻從來沒有犯罪。

我們堅強的人要扶助軟弱的人，分擔他們的重擔，不該只顧自己的喜好。

我這樣說難道只是人的觀點嗎？律法不也是這樣說的嗎？

從人的角度看，我在以弗所與那些「惡獸」格鬥對我有什麼益處呢？如果死人不會復活，「讓我們吃喝吧！因為明天我們就死了。」你們不要上當受騙，「交壞朋友會敗壞好品德」。
