12 我们若真的渴望得更新,就必须脱去从前的生活样式;从前的生活样式与我们的生活方式和我们的文化有关;在新人里,希利尼人和犹太人、化外人和西古提人、为奴的和自主的,都不可能存在,因为见于这些人中间从前的生活样式已经除去了。
12 If we truly desire to be renewed, we need to put off the former manner of life, which involves our way of living and our culture; in the new man there is no possibility for Greek and Jew, barbarian and Scythian, slave and free man to exist, because the former manner of life found among these peoples has been put away.
