昔爾曹不信天主、今反因以色列人之不信、而蒙矜恤、

你们从前不顺服神，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜恤。

你们从前不顺服上帝，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜悯。

你们从前不顺服神，如今因他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜悯。

你们从前不顺服上帝，然而因为他们的不顺服，你们现在反蒙了怜悯。

正如你们从前不顺服神，现在却因着他们的不顺服，你们倒蒙了怜悯；

正如你们以前不肯信从神而现在却因他们的不信从反而蒙了怜悯；

你們從前不順服神，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐恤。

你們從前不順服上帝，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐憫。

你們從前不順服神，如今因他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐憫。

你們從前不順服上帝，然而因為他們的不順服，你們現在反蒙了憐憫。

正如你們從前不順服神，現在卻因著他們的不順服，你們倒蒙了憐憫；

你們從前不順服上帝，如今因他們的不順服、你們倒蒙了憐恤；

正如你們以前不肯信從神而現在卻因他們的不信從反而蒙了憐憫；

昔爾不順上帝、今因彼之不順而蒙矜恤、

昔爾曹不信上帝、今轉緣以色列人之不信、而蒙矜恤、

適如曩日爾曹未順天主、今乃緣義塞人之不順、而蒙矜恤；

Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,

At one time you did not obey God. But now you have received mercy because Israel did not obey.

For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.

As you once disobeyed God but now have received mercy through their disobedience,

For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

As you once disobeyed God, but now have received mercy through their disobedience,

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

豈不知不義之人、必不得天主之國、勿自欺、凡行淫者、拜偶像者、姦人妻者、為孌童者、親男色者、盜竊者、沈湎者、詬詈者、勒索者、皆不得天主國、爾中有人、素亦如是、今賴主耶穌基督之名、及我天主之神、得洗滌成聖稱義、○

昔爾若死、皆陷於罪愆、所行乃循今世之俗、從在空中掌權之君、即今誘惑悖逆不順者之神、

昔爾生於罪惡中、亦曾行之、

論及童身、我未奉主命、但我既蒙主恩以為忠、即以己意告爾、

我儕既蒙主恩、而受此職、故心不怯、

如是、以色列人今不信、使其因爾之蒙矜恤、亦蒙矜恤、

昔我儕亦無知、背逆、迷惑、役於嗜慾及諸淫佚、常行暴很媢嫉之事、且為人所惡、而彼此相惡、惟我救主天主矜憐仁愛顯著之時、拯救我、非由我行義之功、乃由其矜恤、使我受洗重生、賜我聖神以復新、原文作拯救我非由我行義之功乃由重生之洗與聖神之復新而救我儕聖神乃天主因我救主耶穌基督、厚賜我儕、使我賴其恩寵而得稱義、希望為嗣子得永生、

如此、爾曹不復為外人、不復為客旅、乃與聖徒為一邦、為天主一家之人、建造於使徒及先知之基、耶穌基督為屋隅之石、全屋賴彼而得聯絡、漸成主之聖殿、

爾素非為民、今為天主之民、昔未蒙憐恤、今已蒙憐恤、○

我子提摩太乎、昔有預言指爾者、今我循此預言命爾、當念之而作善戰、

當時爾與基督相離、在以色列民中無分、與所應許之諸約無與、無有所望、處世而無天主、今因基督耶穌、爾素為遠者、賴基督之血得近矣、
