因為受造之物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

因为受造之物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

因为受造之物屈服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望从败坏的辖制下得释放，得享上帝儿女荣耀的自由。

因为受造之物屈服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望从败坏的辖制下得释放，得享神儿女荣耀的自由。

因为受造之物处在虚空之下并非出于情愿，而是出于上帝的旨意。

因为被造的万物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意这样，而是由于使它屈服的那一位；

因为被造之物屈从在虚妄之下，并不是出于自愿，而是出于使它屈从的那一位；

被創造之物服在徒勞挫折之下、不是自願的，乃是因那叫它服在指望中者的旨意；

因為被造之物屈從在虛妄之下，並不是出於自願，而是出於使它屈從的那一位；

萬物歸於虛、非其心、蓋有使之者、

萬物歸於虛、非其所願、乃有使之者、然仍有望、

夫芸芸眾生、迄今屈伏於無常之下、非出自願、有制之者耳。

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

The created world was held back from fulfilling its purpose. But this was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the one who held it back. God planned

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,

For the creation was subjected to futility— not willingly, but because of him who subjected it— in the hope

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

For the creation was subjected to futility— not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it— in the hope

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected[ the same] in hope,

For the creation was subjected to futility– not willingly but because of God who subjected it– in hope

又對亞當說：你既聽從妻子的話，吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子，地必為你的緣故受咒詛；你必終身勞苦才能從地裏得吃的。地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來；你也要吃田間的菜蔬。你必汗流滿面才得糊口，直到你歸了土，因為你是從土而出的。你本是塵土，仍要歸於塵土。

給他起名叫挪亞，說：「這個兒子必為我們的操作和手中的勞苦安慰我們；這操作勞苦是因為耶和華咒詛地。」

傳道者說：虛空的虛空，虛空的虛空，凡事都是虛空。

我們知道，一切受造之物一同歎息，勞苦，直到如今。

田野的母鹿生下小鹿，就撇棄，因為無草。野驢站在淨光的高處，喘氣好像野狗；因為無草，眼目失明。

這地悲哀，通國的青草枯乾，要到幾時呢？因其上居民的惡行，牲畜和飛鳥都滅絕了。他們曾說：他看不見我們的結局。

神就對挪亞說：「凡有血氣的人，他的盡頭已經來到我面前；因為地上滿了他們的強暴，我要把他們和地一併毀滅。

他們使地荒涼；地既荒涼，便向我悲哀。全地荒涼，因無人介意。

牲畜哀鳴；牛羣混亂，因為無草；羊羣也受了困苦。

地被其上的居民污穢；因為他們犯了律法，廢了律例，背了永約。所以，地被咒詛吞滅；住在其上的顯為有罪。地上的居民被火焚燒，剩下的人稀少。

因此，這地悲哀，其上的民、田野的獸、空中的鳥必都衰微，海中的魚也必消滅。

強盜的帳棚興旺，惹神的人穩固，神多將財物送到他們手中。你且問走獸，走獸必指教你；又問空中的飛鳥，飛鳥必告訴你；或與地說話，地必指教你；海中的魚也必向你說明。看這一切，誰不知道是耶和華的手做成的呢？凡活物的生命和人類的氣息都在他手中。
