But he answered his father,‘ Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

But he answered his father,‘ Look! All these years I’ve worked like a slave for you. I have always obeyed your orders. You never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

but he answered his father,‘ Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

but he replied,‘ All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends.

But he replied to his father,‘ Look, I have been slaving many years for you, and I have never disobeyed your orders, yet you never gave me a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends.

But he answered and said to his father,‘ Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you never gave me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

So he answered and said to his father,‘ Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.

But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

法利塞昂立默念、曰：「謝主俾我異若眾！眾或貪污、或犯義、或奸淫、謝主俾我異斯稅吏！我每週守齋二次、所得什一以獻。」

我生之初尚無法、誡命一至、罪於是乎生、而我於是乎死矣。

若形體之事為足恃、予亦不敢多讓。人如以此為誇、則予應更可誇矣。予生八日、即受割禮；以血統論、固義塞人也、屬於便雅明支派、而出於希伯萊人之希伯萊人也。以律法論、固法利塞人也以熱情論、固迫辱聖教會、不遺餘力者也。以守法論、固無懈可擊也。

蓋既昧於天主之義、故惟求自立其義、而不服膺天主之義矣。

是故爾等既盡厥職、亦宜曰：「吾儕無益之僕也、惟奉行所命而已矣。」』

誡律云：毋殺人、毋邪淫、毋盜竊、毋妄證、敬事父母、想爾知之。』其人對曰：『凡此皆自幼遵行。』

願凡有耳者、諦聽聖神對諸教會之訓示：凡百折不撓、終克致勝者、吾必賜以潛藏之瑪納、頒以白圭、上鐫新名、惟受者識之、非外人所得而知也。

然則吾人復何所誇？實無所誇也。尚憑何法？其憑事功之法乎？非也！乃憑立信之法耳。

「我儕辛勞終日、備嘗炎蒸；斯輩後進、工僅半晷、何與我儕一律待遇耶？」

若吾人自謂無罪、是為自欺、而無真諦存乎吾心。吾人苟能自訟其罪、立志自新、則全信全義之天主、必寬赦吾罪、且為蕩滌眾穢矣。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。

爾自謂富有、綽有餘裕、而無所欠缺；殊不知爾實為百無聊賴、貧窮不堪、盲而裸者。

故予語爾、一罪人回頭、其慰悅天心、有逾於九十九善人之無庸悔改者焉。

有人自矜其義、目無他人、耶穌設喻以警之曰：

緣汝為人苛刻寡恩、不放而收、不播而獲、予甚懼主。」

蓋徒恃遵行律法、無人能稱義於天主之前；惟因法而知罪耳。
