弟兄们，我不是以为自己已经得着了。我只有一件事，就是忘记背后努力面前的，
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
因为有许多人行事，是基督十字架的仇敌。我屡次告诉你们，现在又流泪的告诉你们。
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
你们要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。

因这些事，神的忿怒必临到那悖逆之子。
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
但现在你们要弃绝这一切的事，以及恼恨，忿怒，恶毒，（或作阴毒）毁谤，并口中污秽的言语。
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
不要彼此说谎，因你们已经脱去旧人和旧人的行为，
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
穿上了新人。这新人在知识上渐渐更新，正如造他主的形像。
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
所以你们既是神的选民，圣洁蒙爱的人，就要存（原文作穿下同）怜悯，恩慈，谦虚，温柔，忍耐的心。
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
