Ἵνα δὲ μὴ πρόφασιν ἔχητε λέγειν ὅτι ἔδει τὸν Χριστὸν σταυρωθῆναι , ἢ καὶ ἐν τῷ γένει ὑμῶν εἶναι τοὺς παραβαίνοντας , καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἄλλως ἐδύνατο γενέσθαι , φθάσας διὰ βραχέων εἶπον , ὅτι βουλόμενος τοὺς ἀγγέλους καὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἕπεσθαι τῇ βουλῇ αὐτοῦ ὁ θεὸς ἐβουλήθη ποιῆσαι τούτους αὐτεξουσίους πρὸς δικαιοπραξίαν . μετὰ λόγου τοῦ ἐπίστασθαι αὐτοὺς ὐφ οὗ γεγόνασι , καὶ δι ὅν εἰσι πρότερον οὐκ ὄντες , καὶ μετὰ νόμου τοῦ ὑπ αὐτου κρίνεσθαι , ἐὰν παρὰ τὸν ὀρθὸν λόγον πράττωσι· καὶ δι ἑαυτοὺς ἡμεῖς , οἱ ἄνθρωποι καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι , ἐλεγχθησόμεθα πονηρευσάμενοι , ἐὰν μὴ φθάσαντες μεταθώμεθα
But that you may not have a pretext to say that Christ had to be crucified, or that there had to be among your race those who transgress, and that it could not have been otherwise, I have said briefly already that God, willing both angels and men to follow His counsel, willed to make them free agents toward righteous action, with reason to know Him by whom they were made, and for whose sake they exist, not having existed before, and with a law by which they are judged by Him, if they act contrary to right reason; and by our own doing we, both men and angels, shall be convicted of having done wickedly, unless we make haste to repent.
但為叫你們沒有藉口說基督必須被釘十字架，或說你們族中必須有那些違犯的人，並說事情不能不是這樣，我已簡略地說過：神既願天使和人都跟從祂的旨意，便定意使他們成為向著公義行動的自由主體，賦予他們理性去認識那造他們、並為其緣故而存在（他們從前並不存在）的那一位，又賦予律法使他們若違背正理便受祂審判；而我們，無論人或天使，若不趕緊悔改，便要因自己的作為被指證為行了惡。
3-141:2
Εἰ δὲ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ προμηνύει πάντως τινὰς καὶ ἀγγέλους καὶ ἀνθρώπους κολασθήσεσθαι μέλλοντας , διότι προεγίνωσκεν αὐτοὺς ἀμεταβλήτως γενησομένους πονηρούς , προεῖπε ταῦτα , ἀλλ οὐχ , ὅτι αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς τοιούτους ἐποίησεν . Ὥστε , ἐὰν μετανοήσωσι , πάντες βουλόμενοι τυχεῖν τοῦ παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐλέους δύνανται , καὶ μακαρίους αὐτοὺς ὁ λόγος προλέγει εἰπών· Μακάριος , ᾧ οὐ μὴ λογίσηται κύροις ἁμαρτίαν· τοῦτο δέ ἐστιν , ὅς μετανοήσας ἐπὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασι τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ λάβῃ ἄφεσιν , ἀλλ οὐχ , ὡς ὑμεῖς ἀπατᾶτε ἑαυτοὺς καὶ ἄλλοι τινὲς ὑμῖν ὅμοιοι κατὰ τοῦτο , οἳ λέγουσιν ὅτι , κἂν ἁμαρτωλοὶ ὦσι , θεὸν δὲ γινώσκουσιν , οὐ μὴ λογίσηται αὐτοῖς κύριος ἁμαρτίαν
And if the word of God foretells that certain angels and men shall by all means be punished, it foretold these things because He foreknew that they would become unchangeably wicked, but not because God made them such. So that, if they repent, all who wish to obtain the mercy from God are able, and the Word foretells them blessed, saying: 'Blessed is he to whom the Lord shall in no wise reckon sin'—that is, he who, having repented of his sins, receives from God remission of his sins; but not, as you deceive yourselves, and certain others like you in this respect, who say that even if they are sinners but know God, the Lord will not reckon to them sin.
若神的話預言某些天使和人必定要受刑罰，祂預言這些事是因祂預知他們將要不可改變地變惡，而非因神使他們如此。這樣，他們若悔改，凡願從神得憐憫的都能得著，那道也預言他們有福，說：「凡主不算為有罪的，這人是有福的」——就是那悔改己罪、從神得了赦罪的人；而不是像你們、並某些在這方面像你們的人所欺哄自己的，他們說即使他們是罪人，只要認識神，主就不算他們的罪。
3-141:3
Μαρτύριον δὲ τούτου τὴν μίαν τοῦ Δαυῒδ διὰ τὴν καύχησιν αὐτοῦ γενομένην παράπτωσιν ἔχομεν , ἥτις τότε ἀφείθη , ὅτε οὕτως ἔκλαυσε καὶ ἐθρήνησεν ὡς γέγραπται . Εἰ δὲ τῷ τοιούτῳ ἄφεσις πρὶν μετανοῆσαι οὐκ ἐδόθη , ἀλλ ὅτε τοιαῦτα ἔκλαυσε καὶ ἔπραξεν ὁ μέγας οὗτος βασιλεὺς καὶ χριστὸς καὶ προφήτης , πῶς οἱ ἀκάθαρτοι καὶ πάντα ἀπονενοημένοι , ἐὰν μὴ θρηνήσωσι καὶ κόψωνται καὶ μετανοήσωσιν , ἐλπίδα ἔχειν δύνανται ὅτι οὐ μὴ λογίσηται αὐτοῖς κύριος ἁμαρτίαν
And we have a testimony of this in the one transgression of David that came about through his boasting, which was then forgiven, when he so wept and lamented as it is written. But if forgiveness was not given to such a man before he repented, but only when this great king and christ and prophet so wept and acted, how can the impure and utterly reckless, unless they lament and mourn and repent, have hope that the Lord will not reckon to them sin?
我們有此事的明證，就是大衛那一次因自誇而起的過犯，這過犯後來得了赦免，就是當他如所記載那樣痛哭哀悼之時。但若這樣一位人在悔改以前尚且得不到赦免，乃是當這位偉大的王、受膏者、先知如此痛哭、如此行了之後才得赦免，那麼那些污穢、全然放肆的人，若不哀悼、捶胸、悔改，怎能有指望說主不算他們的罪呢？
3-141:4
Καὶ ἡ μία δὲ αὕτη τῆς παραπτώσεως τοῦ Δαυῒδ πρὸς τὴν τοῦ Οὐρίου γυναῖκα πρᾶξις , ὦ ἄνδρες , ἔφην , δείκνυσιν ὅτι οὐχ ὡς πορνεύοντες πολλὰς ἔσχον γυναῖκας οἱ πατριάρχαι , ἀλλ οἰκονομία τις καὶ μυστήρια πάντα δι αὐτῶν ἀπετελεῖτο· ἐπεὶ εἰ συνεχωρεῖτο , ἣν βούλεταί τις καὶ ὡς βούλεται καὶ ὅσας βούλεται , λαμβάνειν γυναῖκας , ὁποῖον πράττουσιν οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ γένους ὑμῶν ἄνθρωποι , κατὰ πᾶσαν γῆν , ἔνθα ἂν ἐπιδημήσωσιν ἢ προσπεμφθῶσιν , ἀγόμενοι ὀνόματι γάμου γυναῖκας , πολὺ μᾶλλον ἂν τῷ Δαυῒδ τοῦτο συνεχωρεῖτο πράξειν
And this one act of David's transgression with the wife of Uriah, O men, I said, shows that the patriarchs had many wives not as fornicators, but that a certain dispensation and all mysteries were accomplished through them; since, if it were permitted to take whatever wife one wishes, and as one wishes, and as many as one wishes—as the men of your race do, in every land where they sojourn or are sent, leading away women under the name of marriage—much more would this have been permitted David to do.
諸位，我說，大衛與烏利亞之妻這一次的過犯，顯明列祖娶許多妻子並非作淫亂的人，乃是藉他們成就了某種安排和一切奧祕；因為若是容許人隨意娶任何想娶的妻子、按所願的方式、娶所願的數目——如你們族中的人所行的，在他們所寄居或被差往的各地，以婚姻之名擄掠婦女——那麼這事就更該容許大衛去行了。
3-141:5
Ταῦτα εἰπών , ὦ φίλτατε Μάρκε Πομπήϊε , ἐπαυσάμην
Having said these things, my most dear Marcus Pompeius, I ceased.
我至親愛的馬可・龐培烏斯啊，說了這些話，我就止住了。
