Have been condemned the sinners of the flesh,

Those who surrender reason to self-will. (V; l. 37-39)

    After reading the excerpt represented above, I am pretty sure I recognized the correct answer, so the option explains how the meaning of the passage would change if the word "torment" were replaced by the word "pain" is definitely the last one : The passage would suggest that the sinners may be experiencing natural, rather than inflicted, discomfort. The word 'pain' in its first turn bring a physical meaming which is very sensible to use in context containing carnal sin.
