是亦不思而已矣！夫太初天地之成、實憑天主之言；地由水成、因以堅凝、

他们故意忘记，从太古，凭神的命有了天，并从水而出、藉水而成的地。

他们故意忘记这事，就是从太古凭上帝的话有了天，并由水而出和藉着水而成的地；

彼甘忘太古以上帝命而有諸天及地自水而出、以水而結、

彼不欲知、太初之世、上帝有命、天地以成、地由水出、因以堅凝、

彼不欲知太初以主命而有天、亦有地出於水、賴水而立、賴水而立或作立於水中

But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.

Long ago, God’s word brought the heavens into being. His word separated the earth from the waters. And the waters surrounded it. But these people forget things like that on purpose.

For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,

They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water.

They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.

For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;

They willfully ignore this: Long ago the heavens and the earth were brought about from water and through water by the word of God.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water.

For this they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

吾人之了悟宇宙為天主命名之所締造、而有形出於無形者、憑信德也。

滄溟之上。肇建寰宇。狂瀾是鎮。中流砥柱。

【啟】洪濤之上。展布乾坤。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。

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。

發號成諸天。噓氣生萬物。

若輩既冥頑不靈、心棄天主、則天主亦愛莫能助、於是聽其昧心恣行、

基督先萬有生、為萬有之綱領、萬有賴以維繫、而各得其所焉。

夫真光入世、而世人以行為邪惡故、獨愛黑暗、而不愛光明；故曰譴在其中矣。蓋行為不正者、必惡真光、而莫敢與之近、惟恐其行為之見燭也。
