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?

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？

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 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?

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

“ And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

And the Lord said to Moses,“ I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”
