Denn es ist genug, daß wir die vergangene Zeit des Lebens zugebracht haben nach heidnischem Willen, da wir wandelten in Unzucht, Lüsten, Trunkenheit, Fresserei, Sauferei und greulichen Abgöttereien.
Porque nos debe bastar que el tiempo pasado de nuestra vida hayamos hecho la voluntad de los Gentiles, cuando conversábamos en lascivias, en concupiscencias, en embriagueces, abominables idolatrías.
C'est assez, en effet, d'avoir dans le temps passé accompli la volonté des païens, en marchant dans la dissolution, les convoitises, l'ivrognerie, les excès du manger et du boire, et les idolâtries criminelles.
Perciocchè il tempo passato della vita ci dev’esser bastato per avere operata la volontà de’ Gentili, essendo camminati in lascivie, cupidità, ebbrezze, conviti, bevimenti, e nefande idolatrie
Porque é bastante que no tempo passado da vida fizéssemos a vontade dos gentios, andando em dissoluções, concupiscências, borrachices, glutonarias, bebedices e abomináveis idolatrias;
因為你們從前隨從外邦人的心意,生活在淫蕩、情慾、醉酒、荒宴、狂飲和可憎的偶像崇拜中,時候已經夠了。
