而狂妄不肖、妖言惑眾之徒、且將變本加厲。嗚呼、若輩之欺人也、其亦自欺而已矣。

只是作恶的和迷惑人的，必越久越恶，他欺哄人，也被人欺哄。

只是作恶的和骗人的将变本加厉，迷惑人也被人迷惑。

只是作恶的和骗人的将变本加厉，迷惑人也被人迷惑。

而恶人和骗子会变本加厉地迷惑人，也被人迷惑。

但恶人和骗子必越来越坏，他们欺骗人，也必受欺骗。

而恶人和迷惑人的会越来越坏，他们迷惑人，自己也被迷惑。

只是作惡的和迷惑人的，必越久越惡，他欺哄人，也被人欺哄。

只是作惡的和騙人的將變本加厲，迷惑人也被人迷惑。

只是作惡的和騙人的將變本加厲，迷惑人也被人迷惑。

而惡人和騙子會變本加厲地迷惑人，也被人迷惑。

但惡人和騙子必越來越壞，他們欺騙人，也必受欺騙。

而惡人和騙子總會進到更壞，迷惑人也受人迷惑。

而惡人和迷惑人的會越來越壞，他們迷惑人，自己也被迷惑。

但行惡與矯誣者、其惡日滋、迷人而亦受迷、

行惡惑眾之徒、浸久叢滋、欺人而自欺、

惟彼惡人及惑眾者、日增其惡、迷人而自迷、

while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Evil people and pretenders will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, and others will fool them.

while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.

Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil people and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

But evil people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves.

But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

夫既因認識吾主耶穌基督、而脫濁世之習氣、今復重入羅網、從此休矣！且其晚節必有較前更醜者焉。

蓋吾人從前亦昏昧悖逆、徬徨岐途、縱情恣慾、險狠媢嫉；己實可惡、而轉以惡人。

雖然、依聖神之明示、後來必有叛道棄信者焉。

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、

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。

惟首應注意者、厥為末世必有輕薄之輩殉其私欲、而大施笑罵曰：

煜煜燈燭光、不復照此邑；無復新婚者、在此敘歡密；祇緣諸偉人、與爾相貿易；巫術惑元元、

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、

一切不經之論、無謂之辯、當避之若浼。其言不經者。其行亦必日趨腐化謬種流傳、壞風敗俗、喜買乃及非肋多即屬此類。

於是巨龍下墜；巨龍者、即古時、之蛇、名曰妖魔、沙殫、熒惑全世者是；彼與其天神、俱被逐至地。
