然適如昔日之有偽先知起自民間、將來爾中亦必有荒誕之師、潛播異端、陷溺人心、乃至忘恩負義、否認其贖身之主、於以自速其亡。

从前在百姓中有假先知起来，将来在你们中间也必有假师傅，私自引进陷害人的异端，连买他们的主他们也不承认，自取速速地灭亡。

从前在民间有假先知起来；同样，将来在你们中间也会有假教师，偷偷地引进使人灭亡的异端。他们甚至不认买他们的主人，自取迅速灭亡。

以往曾经有假先知在百姓中出现，将来在你们中间也同样会有假教师出现。他们暗地里引进使人沉沦的异端邪说，甚至否认那位买赎他们的主。这些人正迅速地自招灭亡。

从前在人民中，曾有假先知出来；照样，将来在你们中间，也必有假教师出现。他们偷偷把使人灭亡的异端引进来，甚至否认那曾经买赎他们的主，迅速地自取灭亡。

不过，在子民当中也出现过假先知；照样，在你们当中也会有假教师。他们会偷偷引进使人灭亡的异端，甚至否认那救赎他们的主，给自己招来快速的灭亡。

但從前在民間竟有了假的神言人呢；照樣子、在你們中間也必有假的教師。這種人必私下引進使人滅亡的派別來，連買他們的主、他們也否認，自己引着迅速快到的滅亡。

不過，在子民當中也出現過假先知；照樣，在你們當中也會有假教師。他們會偷偷引進使人滅亡的異端，甚至否認那救贖他們的主，給自己招來快速的滅亡。

昔有偽先知起於民間、爾中亦將有偽師、私傳左道以陷人、拒贖之之主、自取速亡、

伊昔民間有偽先知、如爾中將有偽師、私傳異端以害人、主贖之、而彼拒之、自速其辜、

昔時民間有偽先知、如爾中將有偽師、私傳敗壞之異端、敗壞之異端或作害人之異端不認贖彼之主、自取速亡、

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them— bringing swift destruction on themselves.

But there were also false prophets among the people. In the same way there will be false teachers among you. In secret they will bring in teachings that will destroy you. They will even turn against the Lord and Master who died to pay for their sins. So they will quickly destroy themselves.

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.

There were indeed false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves.

But false prophets also appeared among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves.

有現於爾前者、外披羊皮、內實貪狼、冒作先知、不可不防也。

而比來頗有不肖之徒、混入同道之中、假我天主之洪恩、以恣其私慾、明目張膽、否認吾人之唯一真宰、唯一真主耶穌基督。此輩大逆不道、實地獄中人也。

斯輩貪污成性、巧言如簧、以爾等為營利之具。若而人者、罪案夙定。天網恢恢、固無所逃於天地間也。

蓋分派立異之事、在所不免；偽者既起、則真者彌著矣。

偽先知紛紛而起、愚惑稠人。

蓋時有必至、將見正道不容於世矣。滔滔者將徇其私意、好新務異各師其師；

惟時頗有偽兄弟者、私自混入同道、蓄意偵伺吾人托庇耶穌基督所享之自由、欲引吾人復墮奴隸之域。

蓋主曾出重價以贖之矣。故爾亟宜在爾身上光榮天主也。

望我愛友、勿泛信一切靈感、應細心察驗其靈感之是否淵源天主。蓋偽先知已蠭起於世矣。

諸老合奏新歌一曲、其詞曰：誰堪受其書而啟其緘兮、惟爾具斯大德、爾曾自獻為犧牲兮、流爾寶血；贖元元於各種各族兮、萬邦重譯；俾翕然歸返乎天主兮、以成神國；

小子乎、末日至矣。夫反基督之必臨、爾所夙聞也。今反基督果已蠭起並作吾是以知末日之已至也。此輩雖自吾儕中出、然自始非吾道中人；若真屬吾道中人、則應始終與吾儕相偕；今若輩半途而廢、與我分道、則其本非吾道中人、彰彰明矣。

吾知爾所處之地域、乃沙殫王位之所在也；而爾堅奉吾名、確乎不拔；即當吾之忠實證人安第巴被害於沙殫所寓之爾處時、爾之信德亦未被搖動。

爾之憂患、爾之窮乏、吾所知也。雖然、爾實貧而富者也！彼自名為義塞人而非義塞人、實屬沙殫之黨羽者、謗爾誣爾、吾亦知之。

爾其小心謹慎、毋令他人以其鑿空蹈虛之詭辯、支離妄本之曲學、劫奪爾之心魂。此種詭辯曲學、囿於習俗、扭於形迹、而不能上達於基督也。

不認我於人前者、我亦不認之於天父之前也。

雖然、依聖神之明示、後來必有叛道棄信者焉。若輩惑於邪神、溺於魔道、輕信天良銷鑠、言行詐偽之人、禁止嫁娶、戒絕某種食物；夫食物乃天主所造也、亦在具有信德、而身體真道者、感恩受之而已矣。

吾知爾之行實。識之哉、吾已置一洞開之門於爾前、人莫得而閉焉。蓋爾力量薄弱、竟能篤守吾道、而未背棄吾名。識之哉、

然則吾人不可再為稚子、隨風飄盪、漫無定止、惑於異端、而溺於邪說。

蓋有偽基督偽先知者出、多顯怪異、駸駸乎將熒惑選民！

莫令他人以虛偽之謙卑為詞、誘爾敬拜天神、於以奪去爾等之榮冠也。若輩矜其所見、以肉情之幻覺、妄自尊大、舍本逐末、甘自與元首隔絕；

夫人之媚爾、非出善意、乃欲爾轉以媚之、而成其私黨耳。

世人以其有權暢行異蹟於海獸之前、多受其熒惑。彼乃慫慂世人、為受傷獲瘳之獸製像、

人有分門結黨、經一再勸戒而不悛者、絕之可也，

拜偶像、行巫術、仇恨爭競、好勝忿怒朋比釁隙、

吾作此語、乃欲斥責一般意圖搖奪爾心之人也。

何況蹂躪天主聖子、輕慢聖德所本之盟血、褻瀆恩寵所自之聖神、爾謂其所當受之刑罰、更堪設想乎！

吾人托庇聖子、仰賴寶血、得蒙拯贖、滌除夙穢；實憑天主之豐恩厚澤。

然吾兒當知季世必有危時、人將逞其私欲、孳孳為利、驕矜自慢輕薄褻瀆、不孝父母、忘恩負義、不虔不敬、天良泯滅、結怨不解、譖人不輟、沉湎無度、兇暴不馴、疾善如讎、叛逆無信、剛愎自用、桀傲成性、不愛天主、惟愛荒逸、外飾虔誠之貌內實麻木不仁。此類之人、務望吾兒避之若浼。蓋若輩夤緣勾結、入人之家、引誘意志薄弱之婦人、使其棄正入邪、罪累重重、逐物移意、但知下學、不知上達。若輩心術已壞、喪失信德、反抗真道、正如昔日亞乃芒伯之反抗摩西也。雖然、吾知其行不遠矣。蓋其愚妄、已昭昭在人耳目、亦如彼二人之荒謬之終見暴露耳。

此輩貪圖不義之財、教人以不經之事、流毒所及、覆人家室；當有以緘其長舌、莫令謬種流傳。

人若共其辱、亦當共其榮。人若不認主、主亦無從認。人若無信義、彼則仍有信至誠無妄者、安能違其性。』

望爾等切莫受人之愚也。彼日之來、必先有反教背主之事、又有元惡大憝、淪亡之子、先行顯露、反抗基督、妄自尊大、目中不復有所謂天主或可敬者、彼且坐於天主聖殿、而自炫其為天主焉。曩者予在爾中時、曾以此事相告、爾等豈已忘懷乎？爾等亦知彼在目前、尚有所阻；如屆其時、則面目畢露。蓋其不法之隱圖、已在醞釀、惟尚有為之阻礙者、故其一時未能遽發；一俟阻礙見除、則彼橫行不法者、行將猖獗。而主耶穌乃必以其所發之正氣、予以懲創、且藉己之昭臨、予以殲滅。惟大憝之暴興也、亦必恃沙殫之魔力、恣權行異、以種種邪法、熒惑自求淪喪之徒。所謂自求淪喪之徒者、即不知愛慕真理、以望得救者耳。既不愛慕真理、天主亦祇得聽其從妄信謊、於是凡不信真理而惟邪惡是好者、必至判罪而後已。

夫耶穌基督、爾等未之見也而已衷心慕之；雖無所睹而能毅然信之。故爾等歡樂難言、寵榮被身、

若輩之終局、淪喪也、若輩之所天、口腹也、若輩之所引以為榮者、無恥之行也、若輩之所志、不外塵世之事也。

亞伯漢意灑格雅各伯之天主、吾列祖之天主、厥子耶穌、已蒙榮寵。此即爾曹曩日執交比辣多、比辣多意欲釋之、而爾曹則擯絕之於比辣多之前者也。爾曹擯絕神聖之義者、而求釋兇暴；

其不認予於人前者、亦不被認於天主眾神之前也。

爾其戰戰兢兢、保身保群；斯群也、即主以其寶血贖得之教會、而聖神之所以立爾為主教、以資督導也。吾知吾去之後、將有貪狠之狼、來入爾中、摧殘羊群；即爾中亦必有人倡為悖謬之說誘惑信眾、使入邪途。

夫基督已代我受詛、而贖我於律法之詛矣。蓋經有云：『懸於木上者、服咒咀』也。

蓋偽基督假先知、將起而大施異跡奇事；倘可能者、並蒙選之人、亦將被惑矣。

若被人頌讚、讚中禍機伏；應念彼先人、亦媚偽先覺。』

斯輩不事吾主基督、惟事口腹、以巧言媚語、誘惑庸眾。

其言曰：『末世必有輕薄者出、目無天主、惟知縱情恣慾。』

若輩偽宗徒冒基督宗徒之名、而行其欺詐之實。然此不足為奇；即沙殫亦嘗冒充光明之天神、則其僕之冒充正義之僕、不亦宜乎！惟若輩必依其所作之孽、而受報應也。

曰『爾其慎旃！毋為所惑！必有多人冒予名而來曰：「我即是也、時已近矣。」切勿從之！

爾之見贖、代價重大；豈可甘作人世之奴？

蓋將有多人、冒我名而來曰：「吾乃基督；」以是惑眾。
