人既因識主救者耶穌基督、得脫世污、若復為其所累所勝、則後患尤劇於前、

如有人知救主耶穌基督道、不為污世所囿、復因憧擾而受陷、則其人之後患、較先時尤劇、

彼因識吾主救主耶穌基督、而得脫於世污、後復為世污所擾所服、則其後患較前尤甚、

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.

They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before.

夫吾人既認識真道、如再明知故犯、則不復有贖罪之祭、而其所餘者、惟觳觫待刑、以候吞滅悖逆之燎火而已。

蓋人若曾蒙光照、曾味靈寵、曾受聖神、曾悟天主聖道之盡善盡美、與夫新興時代之偉大、而竟中途背棄聖道、若而人者、不啻親手重釘基督於十字架上、且當眾而辱之也。欲其再行悔過自新、尚可得乎？譬如地土、甘霖時降、飽受滋潤、而產百穀、有益於耕耘之人、則天主福焉。若其產荊棘蒺藜、則必被棄置、服咒詛結果亦惟有付諸一炬而已矣。

若輩之終局、淪喪也、若輩之所天、口腹也、若輩之所引以為榮者、無恥之行也、若輩之所志、不外塵世之事也。

邪魔既離人身、徘徊於無水之地、欲求安身之所而不可得、乃曰：「吾將返吾故宅。」既至、則見掃除整潔、粉飾煥然；乃引更惡之七鬼以至、相與入而居之。其人之後患、必有甚焉者也。』

賴斯大榮大德、吾人復受有無上無疆之恩諾、俾吾人脫世俗縱情恣慾之腐敗惡習、得躋於神化之境、而融於天主之性。

蓋斯輩大言不慚、提倡邪淫；凡初脫惡習者、鮮不受惑；

伏願恩寵平安、因認識天主及吾主耶穌基督、源源加爾、日進無疆。

邪魔離人、徘徊於無水之地、欲覓一安身之所而不可得則曰：「我將返我故宅。」比至、見其室空空、掃除整潔、粉飾煥然；乃往召較己尤惡七鬼同來居寓；其人之後患、必有甚焉者也。斯邪惡世代、亦復如是。』
