子未生善惡未形、而上帝選人之旨不移、其選之也、非由所行、乃由所召、

双子还没有生下来，善恶还没有做出来，只因要显明神拣选人的旨意，不在乎人的行为，乃在乎召人的主。）

双胞胎还没有生下来，善恶还没有行出来，为要贯彻上帝拣选人的旨意，

双胞胎还没有生下来，善恶还没有行出来，为要贯彻神拣选人的旨意，

在这对孩子还未出生，还没有显出谁善谁恶之前，上帝为了显明自己拣选人并不是按人的行为，而是按祂自己的旨意，

双生子还没有生下来，善恶也没有行出来（为要坚定神拣选人的旨意，不是由于行为，而是由于那呼召者），

实际上，双子还没有出生，也没有行善或作恶以前——为了要显明神的拣选心意不是本于人的行为，而是出于召唤人的那一位——

雙子還沒有生下來，善惡還沒有做出來，只因要顯明神揀選人的旨意，不在乎人的行為，乃在乎召人的主。）

雙胞胎還沒有生下來，善惡還沒有行出來，為要貫徹上帝揀選人的旨意，

雙胞胎還沒有生下來，善惡還沒有行出來，為要貫徹神揀選人的旨意，

在這對孩子還未出生，還沒有顯出誰善誰惡之前，上帝為了顯明自己揀選人並不是按人的行為，而是按祂自己的旨意，

雙生子還沒有生下來，善惡也沒有行出來（為要堅定神揀選人的旨意，不是由於行為，而是由於那呼召者），

在雙子還沒生下來、好壞還沒作出來時（為要使上帝按揀選的定旨得以堅立，不是由於人的行為，乃是由於上帝的呼召），

實際上，雙子還沒有出生，也沒有行善或作惡以前——為了要顯明神的揀選心意不是本於人的行為，而是出於召喚人的那一位——

二子未生、善惡未形、俾上帝選人之旨不移、非由乎行、乃由乎召之者、

子尚未生、未行善惡、而語利伯加云、長子必事幼子、以示天主選人之旨、非由行事、乃由召者、

當時二子尚未出生、善惡未形、而天主欲明示簡選之不憑人力、惟憑恩旨也、

Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad— in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:

Here is what happened. Rebekah’s twins had not even been born. They hadn’t done anything good or bad yet. So they show that God’s purpose is based firmly on his free choice.

though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad— in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls—

But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God.( This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes;

For though her sons had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to election might stand—

for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,

( for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

for the children being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,

For though her sons had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to election might stand—

( For[ the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

even before they were born or had done anything good or bad( so that God’s purpose in election would stand, not by works but by his calling)–

For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

自創世之先、緣耶穌、擇我儕、使我儕在主前、潔淨無玷、施其仁愛、依厥善意、念耶穌基督、預定我儕為子、

復示我奧旨、行其所立之善意、屆期、將以天地間萬物悉歸基督、惟隨意行萬事者、預定我、因基督、得嗣業、

經云、我命爾為萬民父焉、且上帝使死者生、變無為有亞伯拉罕篤信上帝、故在其前、得為吾眾之父、

上帝博施恩澤、因基督耶穌、而召我儕享永福、既暫受苦、願上帝賜爾曹德備、俾得鞏固、厚厥址基、

遂與羔戰、羔必勝之、以羔為諸主之主、列王之王、從之者、乃見召蒙選忠信之人、

其所以救我者、非由我有義行、乃由主矜恤、以更生盥濯我、以聖神復新我、

兄弟當黽勉、以明上帝選爾召爾、由是而行、無不得救、

我猶太人、素逞嗜欲、任血氣、縱私意、本當服刑、如異邦人、

非恃功、無可誇、

我儕知萬事沓來、無非益諸愛上帝者、即依其旨而見召也、其所知者、則預定效其子、使彼為眾子中冢子、其所預定者、則召之、所召者、則稱義之、所稱義者、則加榮之、

兄弟乃主之所愛、我儕當為爾恆謝上帝、自昔上帝簡爾、蒙神成聖、信諸真理、是以得救、亦以我福音召爾、得與吾主耶穌基督之榮、

今猶有幾人、乃上帝垂恩遴選者、以恩則不以功、否、則恩不為恩、以功則不以恩、否、則功不為功、曰、然則以色列人所求者、有不得乎、曰、選民得之、其餘則頑也、

上帝救我儕、召我儕為聖、不因我行、祇自成其志、蓋上世之先、念基督耶穌、賜我恩寵、

上帝早定意、必因吾主基督耶穌成其事、

萬有之主耶和華矢之曰、我意已定、我命必成、

此我所命於天下、所行於列國中。我萬有之主耶和華命之、誰得廢之、行之、孰能禦之。

萬有之主耶和華已定命焉、變榮為辱、降尊為卑、

使民戰慄、蓋我耶和華已定厥志、攻巴比倫、使之荒蕪、無人居處斯言必應。

教爾所行、合乎上帝、蓋上帝召爾、入國有榮、

我母懷妊、生我於世、當此之時、我有罪戾、

凡諸兄弟、乃上帝所愛、吾知為上帝所選、

自始迄終、未來之事、我一一預言、我旨必成、意必就。召彼鷙鳥、至自東土、我所簡者、來自遠方、我言已出、必踐之、我意已定、必成之、
