使他永久活着，不見冥坑；因為贖他性命的價值極貴，他只好永遠罷休，勿圖自贖。

叫他长远活着，不见朽坏；因为赎他生命的价值极贵，只可永远罢休。

让他长远活着，不见地府；因为赎生命的价值极贵，只可永远罢休。

让他长远活着，不见地府；因为赎生命的价值极贵，只可永远罢休。

因为生命的赎价高昂，无人付得起，

（因为他生命的赎价非常昂贵，只好永远放弃，）

——因为灵魂的赎价昂贵，人只好永远罢休——

叫他長遠活着，不見朽壞；因為贖他生命的價值極貴，只可永遠罷休。

讓他長遠活着，不見地府；因為贖生命的價值極貴，只可永遠罷休。

讓他長遠活着，不見地府；因為贖生命的價值極貴，只可永遠罷休。

因為生命的贖價高昂，無人付得起，

（因為他生命的贖價非常昂貴，只好永遠放棄，）

——因為靈魂的贖價昂貴，人只好永遠罷休——

俾其永存不朽、蓋其生命、贖價甚重、永久無成兮、

生命之價、既貴且昂、欲贖無從兮、

贖其生命、價值昂貴、永不得成、

黃金高北斗。未足賂天帝。

the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—

The price for a life is very high. No payment is ever enough.

for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice,

Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough

since the price of redeeming him is too costly, one should forever stop trying—

For the redemption of his soul is priceless, And he should cease imagining forever—

For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever—

( For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),

since the price of redeeming him is too costly, one should forever stop trying—

( For the redemption of their soul[ is] precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

( the ransom price for a human life is too high, and people go to their final destiny),

For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

人若贏得全世界，卻賠上自己的性命，能得着甚麼益處呢？人要拿出甚麼來對換自己的性命呢？

不可讓上帝的震怒激動了你去侮慢上帝哦；也不可因贖價大而偏行。你大量的資財和你一切的勢力，哪能有效、使你不遭患難呢？
