此事實為洗禮之前影。洗禮者爾曹之所由濟渡也。非滌肉身之垢穢、乃憑耶穌基督之復活、而致良心之純潔、以事天主。

这水所表明的洗礼，现在藉着耶稣基督复活也拯救你们；这洗礼本不在乎除掉肉体的污秽，只求在神面前有无亏的良心。

这水所预表的洗礼，现在藉着耶稣基督的复活拯救你们，不是除掉肉体的污秽，而是向上帝恳求有无亏的良心。

今之洗禮、乃其影像、以救爾曹、非去形軀之污、惟求無虧之良於上帝前、乃因耶穌基督之復起也、

今我賴耶穌基督之復生而受洗、不在潔身去垢、乃誠心籲上帝、以此得救、故作巨舟一事觀、可也、

洗禮為其影像、因耶穌基督之復活、今亦救我儕、非在去肉體之垢穢、乃在求無虧之良心於天主前、

and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also— not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

The water of the flood is a picture. It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you( not as the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you— not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience— through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

There is also an antitype which now saves us— baptism( not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you( not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The like figure whereunto[ even] baptism doth also now save us( not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

And this prefigured baptism, which now saves you– not the washing off of physical dirt but the pledge of a good conscience to God– through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you— not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

凡信而受洗者得救、不信者遭譴。

伯鐸祿曰：『各宜悔悟、奉耶穌基督之名受洗、以滌罪愆、以受聖神。

爾中凡已領洗而歸依基督者、實已服膺基督、有如衣之被體焉。

可頌哉、吾主耶穌基督之天主聖父也！天主大慈大悲、藉耶穌基督之復活、予吾人以新生、

故無論猶太人也、希臘人也、主也奴也、皆洗於一神、融為一體、且共汲同一之活泉焉。

莫使遲延、起、奉其名以受洗、用滌爾罪！」

蓋基督所入者、非一人手所倣造之聖所；彼實已直達天廷、且為吾人之故、而仰謁天顏矣。

蓋爾等受洗時、實已與之同葬、且因信賴復活基督者天主之神力、而與之同復活矣。

爾其往勸萬民、服膺聖教、因父及子及聖神之名、為之行洗。

以聖道和水、洗之使潔、俾其成聖、

吾之所以不惜以自己及亞波羅為例、而為此諄諄告誡者、乃為兄弟之益也。務望爾等以吾儕為則、謹守經訓、不可驕矜自慢、而抱出奴入主之態度。

豈不知凡受洗而歸耶穌基督者、其故我乃因受洗而與之同死乎？既因受洗而與之同死、亦即與之同葬矣。既與之同葬、乃亦與之同被天父之恩光、而自死中復活。於是吾人所現有者、乃為煥然一新之生命。蓋吾人既克肖其死、亦宜克肖其復活也。應知吾人之故我、已與之同釘於十字架上；於是罪孽之身、已蕩然毀滅、而吾人不復為罪孽之奴矣。

申言之、爾第以爾之口、承認耶穌為主、且以爾之心、篤信天主曾起之於死者之中；則爾之得救必矣。蓋中心信之、所以成義；口角傳之、所以蒙恩也。

且迎之於家、具餐以待、咸以奉信天主、神樂洋溢。

然自亞當以至摩西、死亡固已乘權矣。即當時之未嘗效亞當者、亦均受其累。彼亞當者乃基督（原文作「後來者」）之前影耳。

不視人之行為、一惟彼之仁愛、藉重生之洗禮、賜吾人以救拔；因聖神之妙工、予吾人以復新。而天主之所以沛然以聖神傾注於吾人之心者、實以我救主耶穌基督之功。吾人托其恩澤、乃得免罪復義、而承嗣永生之望焉。

振作精神、為道奮鬥、把握永生、無忝汝之聖召、無負汝曩日當眾發表之弘願。

至此竟肯慨然奉獻其唯一嫡子者、亦信德之力也。蓋彼認天主為全能、即令起死回生、亦意中事；故得收回依灑格、而為後事之前影焉。

遵路而行、至有水處、宦者曰：『是地有泉、何妨受洗、』

親愛之兄弟乎、吾人既承此恩諾、亟應蕩穢滌污、務求心跡雙清、戰戰兢兢、敬事天主、以臻聖德純全之域也。

蓋吾儕所引以為榮、而問心無疚者、則吾儕立身處世、尤在爾我之間、一秉天主之正直及至誠、不徇私智、惟恃天主聖寵而已。
