8253.虔诚的生活在于以敬虔的方式思考和说话，留出大量时间进行祷告，并且在祷告期间要谦卑行事，常去敬拜的地方或教会，在那里以虔诚的心态听讲道。每年数次参加主的圣餐礼，在教会所设立的其它一切礼拜仪式上也一样。但仁爱的生活在于发挥功用或说履行有用的服务。
Potts(1905-1910) 8253
8253. The life of piety is to think piously and to speak piously, to devote oneself much to prayers, to behave humbly at such times, to frequent places of worship, and while there to listen devoutly to the preachings, to engage in the sacrament of the Supper frequently every year, and in like manner in all other things of worship, according to the ordinances of the church. But the life of charity is to wish well and to do well to the neighbor, to act from what is just and fair, and from what is good and true, in every work, in like manner in everything we do; in a word, the life of charity consists in performing uses.
Elliott(1983-1999) 8253
8253. The pursuit of a religious life involves thinking and speaking in godly ways, setting aside plenty of time for prayers and acting in a humble manner during them, going to church and listening to sermons there in a devout frame of mind, and attending several times each year the Sacrament of the [Lord's] Supper and likewise all other services of worship instituted by the Church. But the pursuit of a charitable life involves feelings of goodwill towards the neighbour and doing good to him, acting in every task from a sense of what is just and fair and of what is good and true, and in a similar way in all that one is employed to do. In short, a charitable life consists in performing useful services.
Latin(1748-1756) 8253
8253. Vita pietatis est pie cogitare et pie loqui, multum vacare precibus, humiliter se tunc gerere, frequentare templa, et tunc praedicationes devote auscultare, et saepe quotannis obire sacramentum cenae, et similiter reliqua cultus secundum Ecclesiae statuta. Vita autem charitatis est bene velle et bene facere proximo, in omni opere agere ex justo et aequo, et ex bono et vero, similiter in omni functione; verbo, vita charitatis consistit in usibus praestandis.
