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。

因为有偷着引进来的假弟兄，私下窥探我们在基督耶稣里的自由，要叫我们作奴仆。

因为有偷着混进来的假弟兄，暗中窥探我们在基督耶稣里拥有的自由，要使我们作奴隶，

因为有偷着混进来的假弟兄，暗中窥探我们在基督耶稣里拥有的自由，要使我们作奴隶，

事情的缘由是因为有一些假信徒偷偷混了进来，要窥探我们在基督耶稣里享有的自由，想叫我们做律法的奴隶。

这是因为有些混进来的假弟兄，暗暗地来侦查我们在基督耶稣里享有的自由，为的是要辖制我们。

其实提到这件事，是因着一些偷偷进来的假弟兄的缘故；他们混进来窥视我们在基督耶稣里所拥有的自由，为了要奴役我们。

因為有偷着引進來的假弟兄，私下窺探我們在基督耶穌裏的自由，要叫我們作奴僕。

這是因為有些混進來的假弟兄，暗暗地來偵查我們在基督耶穌裡享有的自由，為的是要轄制我們。

並且為了那些私下引進來的假弟兄的緣故、就是那些溜進來要窺探我們在基督耶穌裏所有的自由、要壓制我們做奴隸的——

其實提到這件事，是因著一些偷偷進來的假弟兄的緣故；他們混進來窺視我們在基督耶穌裡所擁有的自由，為了要奴役我們。

因有私引之偽兄弟潛入、窺我儕於基督耶穌所得之自由、欲僕我儕、

有偽兄弟數人私入、窺我宗基督耶穌、而得自由、欲僕我、

此因彼私入教會之偽兄弟、私來窺我儕信耶穌基督而得之自由、欲使我為奴、

This matter arose because some false believers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.

This matter came up because some people had slipped in among us. They had pretended to be believers. They wanted to find out about the freedom we have because we belong to Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves again.

Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in— who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—

Even that question came up only because of some so called believers there— false ones, really— who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.

This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus in order to enslave us.

Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in( who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),

and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

This issue arose because of false brothers smuggled in, who came in secretly to spy on the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, in order to enslave us.

And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Now this matter arose because of the false brothers with false pretenses who slipped in unnoticed to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, to make us slaves.

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

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。

夫基督之予吾人以解放也、其非欲吾人享受自由乎？故吾儕當確立不移、不宜妄自菲薄、復入奴隸之軛也。

僕僕風塵、不遑寧息、時遭河汊之危、盜賊之難、邦人之厄、異域之苦、城市之驚、曠野之困、海洋之險、及偽兄弟之陷害：

近聞有人由此前來、以言擾爾、搖惑爾心、此輩實未受吾儕之命、

人即奴爾、吞爾、盜爾、批爾之頰、妄自尊大、爾且能容忍之；

爾時有自猶太來者、誡諸兄弟曰：『苟不依摩西舊例、領受割禮、則不能蒙救恩。』

若輩偽宗徒冒基督宗徒之名、而行其欺詐之實。

嗟夫、彼以割禮為號召、而圖搖動爾之信心者、曷不進而自閹其身乎？今兄弟等已蒙召而獲自由矣惟勿以自由為名、而行其放縱恣肆之實；務望以仁愛之精神、而彼此互相服務也。

吾人亦然、方吾人之尚屬幼稚、亦受制於世俗之蒙學；

此夏甲即亞刺伯之西乃山、亦可象徵現在之耶路撒冷；蓋耶路撒冷及其子女、猶未解放也。

主即聖神、主之聖神之所在、亦自由之所在也。

惟在信德未興之前、吾人則受律法之監護約束、以俟行見啟示之信德。是故律法實為吾人之蒙師、所以引導吾人、達於基督、俾因信德而成義也。然信德既至、則吾人不復受蒙師之監督；蓋爾等皆因信仰耶穌基督、而成天主之子女矣。

為我再造。純白之心。正氣內蘊。煥然一新。

今爾已識天主、抑且為天主所識矣、何又返於支離瑣碎之蒙學、抱殘守缺、而甘為之奴乎？爾今又拘泥歲時日月矣。

惟須預為聲明者、吾今之所言、非依主之道、乃一發心中之狂愚、故姑妄言之耳。

耶穌因謂之曰：『爾能恪守吾道、是真吾徒、且必能了悟真理、而真理必使爾為自由之人矣。』若輩應曰：『吾輩乃亞伯漢之子孫、未嘗見奴於人、爾亦安得曰：「吾人將獲自由」乎？』耶穌對曰：『予剴切語爾、凡犯罪者、即罪之奴、夫為奴者、不能常留宅中、惟為子者、得常住焉。倘為子者肯賜爾自由、爾則真獲自由矣。

爾固宜為自由之人、胸中灑脫、無所拘礙；然萬勿以自由為名、而行其放縱恣肆、犯上作亂之實。當為天主之忠僕、

即爾中亦必有人倡為悖謬之說誘惑信眾、使入邪途。

以自由為號召、而自身則為腐敗之奴隸。蓋為邪惡所克者、即成邪惡之奴矣。

然吾托主之靈、深信爾等心本無他。惟彼攪亂爾等之心靈者、無論其為何人、吾知其罪案已定、而不可倖免矣。

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。且必有多人與之推波助瀾、同流合污、以致真諦妙道、因斯輩之故、為世詬病。

蓋爾所受者、非畏首畏尾之奴隸情緒；爾所受者、乃為呼爺喚父之兒女精神也。

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、

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。

優游聖道。恢恢綽綽。
