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。

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。

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。

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、

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.

曰：若人之不義、適足彰天主之義、則就人情言之、吾將何說、豈主之譴怒為不義乎？

亦毋將爾四肢百體、獻之於罪、以作不義之器。務須獻身於天主、一若新自死中復活也者；如是則爾之四肢百體、乃成為昭事天主之義器、

茲姑據人情、為兄弟言之。人之遺囑一經確立、則無人能使其無效、或有所增益。

爾中以前亦有屬此類者、今則已賴吾主耶穌基督之名及天主聖神之恩、而洗滌夙穢且受聖而復義矣。

故應將一切卑污之心事、置諸死地，凡淫亂、卑污、邪情、惡慾、貪孌、莫非崇拜偶像之變相、而天主所以譴怒其悖逆之子者、正為此等事耳。爾等舊日生活、亦嘗沉溺於此；

不復徇人欲、惟循天主聖意、以度餘生。夫過去之日、與世俗同流合污、放縱恣肆、沈湎酒色、崇拜偶像、不已足乎？今日爾等則不復醉生夢死、同乎流俗、而世人乃以為咄咄怪事、大施謗毀。

與世俗同流合污、聽命於塵氛中之魔王。魔王者、即至今猶在悖逆心中活動之邪神也。吾輩過去亦在悖逆之列、縱情恣慾、為所欲為、原屬觸怒之子、與外邦人為一丘之貉。

豈不知爾向誰氏心悅誠服、而自獻為僕、即為誰氏之僕、應惟其命是從。將從罪以致死乎？抑從善以成義乎？然而賴天主洪恩爾等嚮雖為罪之僕、今已心悅誠服、以就脫爾於罪之教範、

即聖神因鑒於吾人之闇弱、而昧於祈禱之道、亦多方相助、以不可思議之歎息、而為吾人代求焉。

又宜互相檢點、莫使有一人退化、而自絕於天主之聖寵；莫使辛螫之根苗、萌櫱滋蔓、為厲之階、而令眾人受其沾染；

一切不經之論、無謂之辯、當避之若浼。其言不經者。其行亦必日趨腐化謬種流傳、壞風敗俗、喜買乃及非肋多即屬此類。

爾等實無誇耀之理由。豈不知些須之酵、能醱全飥乎？

且吾人之所有、非一不能體恤吾人荏弱之大司祭也。彼實身受百般磨練一如吾人第無罪耳。

是故吾人之強於信德者、當為弱者包荒、勿以悅己為事。

夫吾作斯言、豈徒循乎人情而已哉；即律法亦何嘗不有此明定乎。

曩在伊弗所、予曾與猛獸格鬥矣；若依人之常情而論、我亦何樂而為此？若死者無復活、則『人生有酒須當醉、明日死來萬事休；』兄弟幸毋自欺、結交匪人、必致敗德。
