爾既為智、於愚者則欣然容之、

爾固智者、見人之狂、淡然聽之、

爾既為智者、則甘心容彼狂者、

You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!

You are so wise! You gladly put up with fools!

For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves!

After all, you think you are so wise, but you enjoy putting up with fools!

For you, being so wise, gladly put up with fools!

For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.

For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!

For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.

吾儕已為基督之故、而成斯世之狂徒矣；爾等則優遊基督之中、而聰明自若也。吾儕弱而爾等強、爾等享榮而吾儕蒙辱。

至論祭肉如何、吾人皆曰斯易知耳。然知能長傲、惟愛德則能立己立人也。

明人不必細說、爾等當自審之。

爾自謂富有、綽有餘裕、而無所欠缺；殊不知爾實為百無聊賴、貧窮不堪、盲而裸者。
