But now that you have come to know God( or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

现在你们既然认识神，更可说是被神所认识的，怎么还要归回那懦弱无用的小学，情愿再给他作奴仆呢？

现在你们既然认识上帝，更可说是被上帝所认识的，怎么还要转回那懦弱无用的粗浅学说，情愿再给它们作奴隶呢？

现在你们既然认识神，更可说是被神所认识的，怎么还要转回那懦弱无用的粗浅学说，情愿再给它们作奴隶呢？

现在，你们既然认识了上帝，或者更应该说是上帝认识了你们，为什么还要回到那些无意义的基本规条之下，甘愿再做它们的奴隶呢？

现在你们既然认识神，更可以说是神所认识的，怎么还回到那些软弱贫乏的言论，情愿再作它们的奴仆呢？

但如今，你们认识了神——不过更要说，被神所认识——怎么能再回到那无能、无用的原则里去呢？你们愿意再重新做它们的奴仆吗？

現在你們既然認識神，更可說是被神所認識的，怎麼還要歸回那懦弱無用的小學，情願再給他作奴僕呢？

現在你們既然認識上帝，更可說是被上帝所認識的，怎麼還要轉回那懦弱無用的粗淺學說，情願再給它們作奴隸呢？

現在你們既然認識神，更可說是被神所認識的，怎麼還要轉回那懦弱無用的粗淺學說，情願再給它們作奴隸呢？

現在，你們既然認識了上帝，或者更應該說是上帝認識了你們，為什麼還要回到那些無意義的基本規條之下，甘願再做它們的奴隸呢？

現在你們既然認識神，更可以說是神所認識的，怎麼還回到那些軟弱貧乏的言論，情願再作它們的奴僕呢？

如今你們既已認識上帝（倒不如說被上帝所認識），怎麼還要再回去歸向那些軟弱貧乏的「星質之靈」，情願重再給它們做奴僕呢？

但如今，你們認識了神——不過更要說，被神所認識——怎麼能再回到那無能、無用的原則裡去呢？你們願意再重新做它們的奴僕嗎？

今既知之、更為上帝所知、何反向劣弱空乏之小學、復欲為之役乎、

今識上帝更為上帝所識、奈何復向委靡卑狹之小學而從之乎、

今爾識天主、更為天主所識、奈何復向柔弱卑狹之賤質、欲再為其所束而為奴乎、

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？

But now that you know God— or rather are known by God— how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

But now you know God. Even better, God knows you. So why are you turning back to those weak and worthless powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again?

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

So now that you know God( or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world?

But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elements? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

But if someone loves God, he is known by God.

Are you so foolish? Although you began with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort?

For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.

For if after they have escaped the filthy things of the world through the rich knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they again get entangled in them and succumb to them, their last state has become worse for them than their first.

“ And you, Solomon my son, obey the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, for the LORD examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.

On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,

But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him.But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.

For God, who said“ Let light shine out of darkness,” is the one who shined in our hearts to give us the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.

However, God’s solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal:“ The Lord knows those who are his,” and“ Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from evil.”

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,

For recognition of the LORD’s sovereign majesty will fill the earth just as the waters fill up the sea.

“ I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me–

Now this is eternal life– that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

“ People will no longer need to teach their neighbors and relatives to know me. For all of them, from the least important to the most important, will know me,” says the LORD.“ For I will forgive their sin and will no longer call to mind the wrong they have done.”

Certainly the LORD guards the way of the godly, but the way of the wicked ends in destruction.

then you will understand how to fear the LORD, and you will discover knowledge about God.

Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep his commandments.The one who says“ I have come to know God” and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person.

The LORD said to Moses,“ I will do this thing also that you have requested, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son decides to reveal him.

Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, LORD, do not abandon those who seek your help.

If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world?“ Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are on human commands and teachings.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.

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.

Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, obey you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you.

Sober up as you should, and stop sinning! For some have no knowledge of God– I say this to your shame!
