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；

不可让人因着故意谦虚和敬拜天使，就夺去你们的奖赏。这等人拘泥在所见过的，随着自己的欲心，无故地自高自大，

不要让人藉着故作谦虚和敬拜天使夺去你们的奖赏。这等人拘泥在所见过的幻象，随着自己的欲望无故地自高自大，

不要让人藉着故作谦虚和敬拜天使夺去你们的奖赏。这等人拘泥在所见过的幻象，随着自己的欲望无故地自高自大，

有些人喜欢故作谦虚，敬拜天使，沉迷于所看见的幻象，你们不要因他们而失去得奖赏的资格。他们随从堕落的思想无故自高自大，

不要让人夺去你们的奖赏，他们以故意谦卑，敬拜天使为乐；迷于自己所见过的；凭着肉体的意念，无故地自高自大；

不要让任何人藉着故意谦卑和敬拜天使来夺去你们的奖赏；他们沉迷在自己所看到的幻象中，在自己肉体的理性之下，毫无理由地自我膨胀，

不可讓人因着故意謙虛和敬拜天使，就奪去你們的獎賞。這等人拘泥在所見過的，隨着自己的慾心，無故地自高自大，

不要讓人奪去你們的獎賞，他們以故意謙卑，敬拜天使為樂；迷於自己所見過的；憑著肉體的意念，無故地自高自大；

別讓人因樂於卑抑自己和拜天使的事而斷你們為不應得獎賞的了。這種人根據所見過的幻象、隨着自己肉慾之心思、徒然自吹自大，

不要讓任何人藉著故意謙卑和敬拜天使來奪去你們的獎賞；他們沉迷在自己所看到的幻象中，在自己肉體的理性之下，毫無理由地自我膨脹，

勿容人以故作謙卑、崇拜天使、奪爾之賞、彼拘於己見、徇其情欲而自矜、

勿以爾之賞、見奪於人、彼以謙卑自稱、效天使崇拜、欲窺無形、私心自衒、

勿被人奪爾之賞、彼故作謙卑、崇拜天使、欲窺所未經見者、

Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

Some people enjoy pretending they aren’t proud. They worship angels. But don’t let people like that judge you. These people tell you every little thing about what they have seen. They are proud of their useless ideas. That’s because their minds are not guided by the Holy Spirit.

Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind,

Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self denial or the worship of angels, saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud,

Let no one condemn you by delighting in ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm. Such people are inflated by empty notions of their unspiritual mind.

Take care that no one keeps defrauding you of your prize by delighting in humility and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Let no one disqualify you, insisting on ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm and inflated without cause by his unspiritual mind.

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels pass judgment on you. That person goes on at great lengths about what he has supposedly seen, but he is puffed up with empty notions by his fleshly mind.

Let no one rob you of your prize by self- abasement and worshiping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

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。

如此之言、虛有智慧之表、徒令人多諱忌、妄自菲薄、戕賊己身、而於真正克己工夫、毫無實益也。

凡此種種、皆我若望之所親聞親睹；既聞既睹、乃俯伏導我之天神前而朝拜之、天神止之曰：「慎毋為此！爾我與先知、兄弟、及共守此書者、彼此皆入同寅；惟當朝拜天主耳。」

若輩好為律學之師、實則懵然不自知其所云、更不識其所信口論列者之為何物也。

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。

夫永遠可頌者、天主也、此輩乃捨真逐妄、信奉受造之物、而不景仰造化之主。

雖然、依聖神之明示、後來必有叛道棄信者焉。

若爾心中尚存忌刻好勝之意、則勿自誇為智、以欺真理。此之為智、非自上來、乃出自世俗、血氣與魔鬼耳。蓋一有忌刻好勝之心、則必啟爭端、而生紛亂、放僻邪侈、無不為已。

世之所謂『天神』『地祇、』亦已多矣；而在吾人、則惟有一『神、』即萬物所自、吾人所歸之聖父是已；惟有一主、即萬物所藉以生、吾人所藉以歸之耶穌基督是已。

顧吾所惴焉而懼者、惟恐爾向主之忠心失其淳樸、如夏娃之見誘於譎虺耳。

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。

吾作此語、乃欲斥責一般意圖搖奪爾心之人也。

凡厥名自創世以來未錄於被宰羔羊之生命冊者、咸將翕然、景仰此獸。

爾中有人、近頗言大而誇、一若我無再來爾處之可能也者。

夫愛之為德、寬裕含忍、愷悌慈祥、不忮不求、不矜不伐、

爾中一切鬥爭紛擾、果何由而起？非由爾之情慾交戰於內乎？爾貪而不得、乃行兇殺；妒而不獲乃起爭奪。爾之所以不得者、以爾不求也；求而不得者、以爾求之不以其道、蓋爾所求者、徒為縱情恣慾而已嗚呼、爾亦不淑也已！豈不知與世為友、即與天主為仇乎？閹然媚世者、不能取悅於天主矣。經云：『寓我心中之聖神、愛我情深、不容我別有所戀；』爾以此語為虛發乎。且天主之所以福惠吾人者、亦已厚矣。經云：『天主抑驕福謙、』此之謂也。

蓋吾深恐爾我相見之時、爾不能副我之望、我亦不能副爾之望；又恐爾中有鬥爭、嫉妒、忿怒、樹黨、誹謗、隱刺、傲慢、紛亂等事；

吾乃俯伏而拜之、彼止之曰：「慎莫為此！我與爾及信奉耶穌妙證之眾兄弟、皆屬同寅；爾當敬拜天主耳。蓋耶穌之妙證、實為一切預言之靈樞。」

蓋依然未脫本性也。爾中一日有相妒相爭之事、即一日未克進於超性之境、而脫盡世俗之習。

吾臨在即、望爾堅守所有、操之勿失；莫令爾之榮冠被劫於人。

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。

聚精會神、看定目標、奮赴前程、必欲自附於基督耶穌、以臻上達庶幾無負天主之寵召。

體欲之情者死、而體神之情者生以安。無他、蓋順於欲者、則逆於天主；如此自不甘服天主之法、且亦不能。故凡體欲之情者、必不能取悅於天主也。

予作是語、庶幾爾等不致為人之巧言妙語所惑、

兄弟獨不見夫競賽之事乎趨者固眾、而奪得錦標者一人而已。故望爾等努力趨前、以求奪得錦標也。

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、

夫情慾之事、亦顯而易見也；凡姦非污濁、淫蕩奢侈、拜偶像、行巫術、仇恨爭競、好勝忿怒朋比釁隙、

感激湧心府。詠主眾神前。穆穆朝聖殿。將爾聖名傳。篤實生光輝。慈德何淵淵。聖名固已弘。聖道更無邊。

心懷叵測、為玷為辱；眸子不正、惟見邪淫；意志薄弱者、受其誘惑；惟利是圖、實地獄中人也。

勿為浮言所惑、蓋天主義怒之臨於悖逆諸子、正為此耳。

斯輩不事吾主基督、惟事口腹、以巧言媚語、誘惑庸眾。
