Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will- worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

这些规条使人徒有智慧之名，用私意崇拜，自表谦卑，苦待己身，其实在克制肉体的情欲上是毫无功效。

看似充满智慧，其实只不过是自创的宗教、自表谦卑、苦待己身，对于克制邪情私欲毫无用处。

在随着己意敬拜，故作谦卑，和苦待己身等事上，似乎是智慧之言，其实只能叫人放纵肉体，再没有任何价值。

它们虽然藉着自造宗教、谦卑低微、苦待身体，外表有智慧，但在对付放任肉体的事上，没有任何价值。

這種規例、於牽強的崇拜和卑抑自己以及身體之刻苦、徒有智慧之名，在克制肉體之放縱上實毫無價值的。

它們雖然藉著自造宗教、謙卑低微、苦待身體，外表有智慧，但在對付放任肉體的事上，沒有任何價值。

似有智慧之名、實以私意崇拜、故作謙卑、刻苦其身、究無所益、以克形軀之饜也、

有智慧之名、佯為崇事、自卑克己、不愛其身、惟狥所欲焉、

此儀文有智慧之名、使人行分外崇拜之事、故作謙卑、不惜身、不自重、毫無所益、惟徇所欲焉、

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。

Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

It is true that these rules seem wise. Because of them, people give themselves over to their own kind of worship. They pretend they are humble. They treat their bodies very badly. But rules like these don’t help. They don’t stop people from chasing after sinful pleasures.

These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.

Although these have a reputation for wisdom by promoting self-made religion, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.

These are matters which do have the appearance of wisdom in self made religion and humility and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Although these have a reputation of wisdom by promoting ascetic practices, humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are not of any value in curbing self-indulgence.

Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Even though they have the appearance of wisdom with their self- imposed worship and false humility achieved by an unsparing treatment of the body– a wisdom with no true value– they in reality result in fleshly indulgence.

These things indeed appear like wisdom in self- imposed worship, humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.

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,

forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.

( all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:

for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
