ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

1:2017

ἡ δὲ Ἐκκλησία οὐδὲν περὶ τούτων νενομοθέτηκεν·

but the Church has legislated nothing concerning these things:

「但教會就這些事並未立下任何規條：」

1:2018

οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπαγορεύει τὴν τούτων μετάληψιν

for it does not forbid partaking of them.

「因為她並不禁止人食用這些東西。」

1:2019

Τούτου χάριν ἀδεῶς οἱ μὲν τῶν νενομισμέ-νων ἡδέων ἀπολαύουσιν, οἱ δὲ ἀπέχονται

For this reason, some enjoy without fear the customary delicacies, while others abstain.

「因此，有人無所懼怕地享用那些慣常的美味，也有人選擇禁戒。」

1:2020

Κατακρίνει δὲ οὐδεὶς τῶν εὖ φρονούντων τὸν ἐσθίοντα·

But none of those who think rightly condemns the one who eats:

「凡持守正見的人，都不會定那吃的人的罪：」

1:2021

καὶ ἡ ἀποχὴ γὰρ, καὶ ἡ μετάληψις, ὑπὸ τὴν ἐξουσίαν τελοῦσι τῆς γνώμης, καὶ ὁ μονήρης δὲ βίος οὐκ ἀναγκαστικὸς, ἀλλ' αὐθαίρετος

for both abstinence and partaking fall under the authority of one's own judgment, and the solitary life too is not compulsory, but voluntary.

「因為禁戒與食用二者，都在乎個人心志的自主權；獨修的生活方式，也並非出於強制，而是出於自願。」

1:2022

Καὶ τοῦτο δὲ παρὰ τῶν ἀποστολικῶν ἐδιδάχθημεν νόμων·

And this too we were taught from the apostolic laws:

「這一點，我們也是從使徒所立的律法中受教而來：」

1:2023

Ὁ ἐσθίων γὰρ, φησὶ, τὸν μὴ ἐσθίοντα μὴ ἐξουθενείτω, καὶ ὁ μὴ ἐσθίων τὸν ἐσθίοντα μὴ κρινέτω. Καὶ πάλιν·

‘Let not him who eats,’ he says, ‘despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats.’ And again:

「『吃的人不可輕看不吃的人，不吃的人也不可論斷吃的人。』又說：」

1:2024

Πάντα καθαρὰ, ἀλλὰ κακὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ διὰ προσκόμματος ἐσθίοντι. Καὶ τοῦτο δὲ αὐτῶν τῶν ἀνοσίων κατηγορῶν ἐν τῇ πρὸς Τιμόθεον Ἐπιστολῇ ταῦτα γέγραφε·

‘All things are clean, but it is evil for the man who eats so as to cause offense.’ And accusing these very unholy men of this same fault in the Epistle to Timothy, he wrote as follows:

「『凡物固然潔淨，但那因食物成了絆腳石而吃的人便是有罪了。』使徒在《提摩太書》中，也正是就此指控那些不敬虔之人，寫下這樣的話：」

1:2025

Θεὸς ἔκτισεν εἰς μετάληψιν μετ' εὐχαριστίας τοῖς πιστοῖς καὶ ἐπεγνωκόσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν·

which God created, for the faithful and those who have come to know the truth to partake of with thanksgiving:

「神所創造之物，原是為叫信而明白真理的人，存感謝的心領受：」

1:2026

ὅτι πᾶν κτίσμα Θεοῦ καλὸν, καὶ οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετ' εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον·

for every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving:

「因為神所造的一切原是好的，若存感謝的心領受，就沒有一樣可棄的：」

1:2027

ἁγιάζεται γὰρ διὰ λόγου Θεοῦ καὶ ἐντεύξεως. Καὶ Κορινθίοις δὲ προσέταξε πᾶν τὸ ἐν μακέλλῳ πωλούμενον ἐσθίειν, μηδὲν ἀνακρίνοντας διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν

for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. And he also directed the Corinthians to eat everything sold in the meat-market, examining nothing on account of conscience.

「都因神的話和禱告成為聖潔了。使徒也吩咐哥林多人，凡是肉市上所賣的，都可以吃，不必為良心的緣故查問。」

1:2028

Καὶ τὸν ὑπό τινος τῶν ἀπίστων καλούμενον εἰς ἑστίασιν τῶν παρατιθεμένων ἀδεῶς μεταλαμβάνειν ἐκέλευσεν, εἰ μή τις ἄρα μηνύσῃ εἰδωλόθυτα εἶναι τῶν ὄψων τινά

And he commanded that whoever is invited by an unbeliever to a feast should partake without fear of what is set before him, unless indeed someone should point out that some of the dishes are meat offered to idols.

「至於凡受不信者邀請赴宴的人，使徒也吩咐他們可以無所懼怕地享用所擺上的食物，除非有人告知其中某些菜餚是祭偶像之物。」

1:2029

Τοσοῦτον ἀπέσχετο ὁ θεῖος ἐκεῖνος ἀνὴρ κωλύσαι τῶν κρεῶν τὴν μετάληψιν

So far was that divine man from forbidding the partaking of meats.

「那位神聖的使徒，竟是如此遠離禁止人食用肉類這回事。」

1:2030

Καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Κύριος ἔφη περὶ ἑαυτοῦ·

And the Lord himself also said concerning himself:

「主自己也曾論到自己說：」

1:2031

Ἦλθεν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων, καὶ λέγουσιν·

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say:

人子來了，也吃也喝，他們就說：

1:2032

Ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος φάγος, καὶ οἰνοπότης, τελωνῶν φίλος καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν. Καὶ τὸ Πάσχα δὲ ἐπιτελέσας, τὸν ἀμνὸν ἔφαγε, δηλονότι μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν·

"Behold, a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners." And indeed, when he had kept the Passover, he ate the lamb, evidently together with his disciples;

「看哪，這人是貪食好酒的人，是稅吏和罪人的朋友。」他守逾越節時，確實吃了羔羊，顯然是與門徒一同吃的；

1:2033

καὶ εἰς τὸν γάμον κληθεὶς, οὐ μόνον οὐκ ἀπηγόρευσε τὸ πίνειν, ἀλλὰ καὶ οἶνον τοῖς ἑστιωμένοις παραδόξως ἐδημιούργησε

and when he was invited to the wedding, he not only did not forbid the drinking of wine, but even wondrously made wine for those at the feast.

他又受邀赴婚筵，不但沒有禁止飲酒，反而奇妙地為赴宴的人造出酒來。

1:2034

Τοιγαροῦν καὶ τῶν Ἐγκρατιτῶν τὴν πλάνην τὰ θεῖα δόγματα λαμπρῶς ἀπελέγχουσιν·

Accordingly, the divine doctrines also brilliantly refute the error of the Encratites;

因此，神聖的教義也光輝地駁斥了恩克拉提派（節慾派）的謬誤；

1:2035

ἡ δὲ τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἐκκλησία τοῖς μὲν τῶν αἱρετικῶν ἀντιτάττεται μύθοις, τοῖς δὲ θείοις δόγμασιν ἐπακολουθεῖ

and the Church of God arrays herself against the myths of the heretics, but follows the divine doctrines.

神的教會既抵擋異端的荒誕神話，又遵循神聖的教義。

1:2036

Παρακαλῶ τοίνυν τοὺς ἐντευξομένους τῇδε τῇ συγγραφῇ, ἑκάστῳ τῶν πονηρῶν ἐκείνων δογμάτων παραθεῖναι τὰ θεῖα, καὶ τῇ παρ. εξετάσει καταμαθεῖν, ὅσον τοῦ ψεύδους καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας τὸ μέσον

I exhort, then, those who shall read this treatise to set the divine teachings beside each of those wicked doctrines, and by that comparative examination to learn how great is the distance between falsehood and truth.

所以我懇求將要研讀這部著作的人，把神聖的教義與那些邪惡的教義一一對照，並藉此對照的省察，明白虛假與真理之間相距何等遙遠。

1:2037

Τίς γὰρ κοινωνία φωτὶ πρὸς σκότος; τίς δὲ συμφώνησις Χριστῷ πρὸς Βελίαν; Τῷ ὄντι γὰρ ἐκεῖνα μὲν τῆς διαβολικῆς κακοτεχνίας εὑρέματα·

For what fellowship has light with darkness? And what harmony has Christ with Belial? For indeed the former are inventions of diabolical malice;

光和暗有甚麼相通呢？基督和彼列有甚麼相和呢？前者實在是魔鬼詭詐的發明；

1:2038

ταῦτα δὲ τοῦ θείου Πνεύματος δόγματα·

but these are the doctrines of the divine Spirit;

而後者乃是神聖之靈的教義；

1:2039

οἷς ἕπεσθαι προσήκει διηνεκῶς, καὶ τὸν τούτων ἀκλινῆ φυλάττειν κανόνα, καὶ τούτῳ τὴν οἰκείαν διευθύνειν ψυχήν·

which it is fitting to follow continually, and to keep their unswerving rule, and by it to direct one's own soul;

人理當持續遵循這些教義，堅守其不偏不倚的準則，並以此引導自己的靈魂；

1:2040

ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν, μεθ' οὗ τῷ Πατρὶ σὺν τῷ παναγίῳ Πνεύματι δόξα πρέπει, τιμὴ, καὶ μεγαλοπρέπεια, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων

in Christ Jesus our Lord, with whom, together with the all-holy Spirit, glory, honor, and majesty are due to the Father, now and always, and unto the ages of ages.

在我們的主耶穌基督裡——與祂同著，願榮耀、尊貴、威嚴都歸於聖父，並歸於至聖的聖靈，從今直到永遠，直到永永遠遠。
