First Reading: ROM 6:19-23

读经一（现在你们脱离了罪恶，获得了自由，作了天主的仆役。）

恭读圣保禄宗徒致罗马人书 6:19-23

 

Brothers and sisters: I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your nature.

弟兄们：为了你们本性的软弱，我且按常情来说：

 

For just as you presented the parts of your bodies as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.

你们从前怎样将你们的肢体当作奴隶，献于不洁和不法，行不法的事；如今也要怎样将你们的肢体当作奴隶，献于正义，行圣善的事。

 

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.

当你们作罪恶的奴隶时，不受正义的束缚；

 

But what profit did you get then from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

但那时你们得了什么效果？只是叫你们现在以那些事为可耻，因为其结局就是死亡；

 

But now that you have been freed from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit that you have leads to sanctification, and its end is eternal life.

可是现在，你们脱离了罪恶，获得了自由，作了天主的奴隶，你们所得的效果是使你们成圣，结局就是永生。

 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

因为罪恶的薪俸是死亡，但是天主的恩赐是在我们的主基督耶稣内的永生。

Gospel : Lk 12:49-53

福音（我来不是给地上送和平，而是送分裂。）

恭读圣路加福音 12:49-53

 

Jesus said to his disciples: "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!

那时候，耶稣对门徒说：“我来是为把火投在地上，我是多么切望愿它已经燃烧起来！

 

There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!

我有一种应受的洗礼，我是如何焦急，直到它得以完成！

 

Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.

你们以为我来是给地上送和平吗？不，我告诉你们：而是来送分裂。

 

From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three;

因为从今以后，一家五口的，将要分裂：三个反对两个，两个反对三个。

 

a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother,

他们将要分裂：父亲反对儿子，儿子反对父亲；母亲反对女儿，女儿反对母亲；

 

a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

婆母反对儿媳，儿媳反对婆母。”
