Some people really believe that sin is a hypostatized intelligent being of some sort in the cosmos.
有人相信罪恶是宇宙中一种实在的，智慧的生命。

If the faculties or activities are similarly hypostatized in the mind, their living unity similarly turns to the imbroglio of an action of the one on the others.
Other people say no, no, Paul's talking metaphorically when he talks about sin in these words, and we need to see sin not at this actual hypostatized being but simply a metaphor, a metaphorical being.
