既識道矣、猶棄所受之聖命、孰若不識道義之為美、

他们晓得义路，竟背弃了传给他们的圣命，倒不如不晓得为妙。

他们知道义路，竟背弃了传授给他们那神圣的诫命，倒不如不知道为妙。

他们知道义路，竟背弃了传授给他们那神圣的诫命，倒不如不知道为妙。

他们明知道正路，却背弃了传给他们的神圣诫命，这样倒不如不知道的好。

既然认识了义路，竟又背弃传给他们的圣诫命，对他们来说，倒不如不认识好得多了。

因为认识了义的道路以后，背离那交托给他们的神圣诫命，对他们来说，倒不如不认识还好。

他們曉得義路，竟背棄了傳給他們的聖命，倒不如不曉得為妙。

他們明知道正路，卻背棄了傳給他們的神聖誡命，這樣倒不如不知道的好。

既然認識了義路，竟又背棄傳給他們的聖誡命，對他們來說，倒不如不認識好得多了。

他們認識了正義之路以後，若從所傳授給他們的聖誡上退轉下去，那倒不如沒有認識過好啊。

因為認識了義的道路以後，背離那交託給他們的神聖誡命，對他們來說，倒不如不認識還好。

蓋未識義路、較識之而背所受之聖誡猶愈也、

既識義道、竟背所受之聖命、莫若不識之為美、

蓋與其知道而背命、孰若初未聞道之為愈乎？

It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.

Suppose they had not known the way of godliness. This would have been better than to know godliness and then turn away from it. The way of godliness is the sacred command passed on to them.

For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.

如善人去善就惡、行諸不義、我所痛疾者、豈得保生乎、其所行之善、不復追憶、既犯罪作惡、必使之亡。

見善不行、即為惡、

乃有始則明道、蒙天錫賚、共享聖神、知上帝至理、季世有妙用、後竟背教、其不克悔改自新、猶復釘上帝子於十字架、而顯辱之、

僕知主意、而不設備、不順其意者、見扑必多、

如義人棄善作惡、我任其陷罪、至於死亡、彼所為之善不復繫念、死於罪戾、爾既不示之、我亦必罰爾。

夫律法聖、誡亦聖、義且善也、

耶穌曰、爾瞽則無罪、今言能見、則爾罪尚在矣、

悖逆耶和華不祈求我者、必戮之而後已、

若我未來誨之、則其人無罪、今其罪不得辭矣、

皓然白首、尚行仁義、猶顯榮之冠冕。

爾知我受主耶穌命以授爾、

蓋約翰以道義就爾、爾不信、而稅吏娼妓信之、且爾見此、又不後悔以信之、○

所言詭詐、不順道、不行善兮、彼偃息在床、猶謀不軌、立於惡地、有過不恥兮。

正道得生、邪道致死。

我見其被玷與姊無異、

惟所行邪曲者、耶和華必罰之、俾與惡黨同科、願以色列族、俱享平康兮。

迦百農乎、爾曾得升至天、又將推落暗府、蓋在爾中所施異能、若施於所多馬、則彼邑今日猶存、吾語汝、當審判日、所多馬之刑、較爾尤易受也、○
