蓋其不法之隱圖、已在醞釀、惟尚有為之阻礙者、故其一時未能遽發；一俟阻礙見除、

因为那不法的隐意已经发动，只是现在有一个拦阻的，等到那拦阻的被除去，

因为那不法的隐秘已经运作，只是现在有一个阻挡的，要等到那阻挡的被除去才会发作，

因为那不法的隐秘已经运作，只是现在有一个阻挡的，要等到那阻挡的被除去才会发作，

其实那不法之徒的阴谋已经在酝酿中，然而现在有一位在拦阻他。等到拦阻他的那位一离开，

因为那不法的潜力已经发动，只是现在有一个箝制他的在那里，直等到那箝制解除了，

其实这不法的奥秘已经在做工，只是要等到那现在拦阻他的不在其中，

因為那不法的隱意已經發動，只是現在有一個攔阻的，等到那攔阻的被除去，

因為那不法的隱祕已經運作，只是現在有一個阻擋的，要等到那阻擋的被除去才會發作，

因為那不法的隱祕已經運作，只是現在有一個阻擋的，要等到那阻擋的被除去才會發作，

其實那不法之徒的陰謀已經在醞釀中，然而現在有一位在攔阻他。等到攔阻他的那位一離開，

因為那不法的潛力已經發動，只是現在有一個箝制他的在那裡，直等到那箝制解除了，

那不法之「祕密」是已在運用動力的。不過這必須等那現在還抑制他的從中間被處置了，

其實這不法的奧祕已經在做工，只是要等到那現在攔阻他的不在其中，

蓋不法之隱慝已萌、惟今有阻之者、迨其見除時、

其隱慝始萌、今有所阻、後無扞格、

蓋不法之隱慝、今已發動、但阻之者仍阻之、待阻之者既除於中、

For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

凡否認耶穌者、悉非感於天主、而感於反基督者也。夫反基督之將臨也、爾等夙已聞之、今則已在人間矣。

額上題名曰：

吾知吾去之後、將有貪狠之狼、來入爾中、摧殘羊群；

謬種流傳、壞風敗俗、喜買乃及非肋多即屬此類。若輩淆亂真理、妄稱復活已是明日黃花；同人中因此而喪失信德者有焉。

天神語予曰：胡驚異為？吾欲告爾以此婦及其所乘七首十角之獸之秘密。

莫令他人以虛偽之謙卑為詞、誘爾敬拜天神、於以奪去爾等之榮冠也。若輩矜其所見、以肉情之幻覺、妄自尊大、舍本逐末、甘自與元首隔絕；殊不知元首為全體之綱領、全體之筋脈骨節、賴之以生、賴之以固、賴之以調暢滋長於天主懷中。爾等既與基督同死、而已灑然脫於世俗之蒙學矣、乃何又鰓鰓遵循人為之禁令、一若尚生於世俗之中耶？人之言曰：『此物不可觸也、此物不可食也、此物不可執也。』寧不知萬物終歸朽腐、正備人之一用乎。如此之言、虛有智慧之表、徒令人多諱忌、妄自菲薄、戕賊己身、而於真正克己工夫、毫無實益也。

嗚呼、聖道之玄妙、不亦浩浩其天、淵淵其淵乎哉！所謂玄妙者無他、即現於肉身、證於聖神、見於天神、傳於兆民、信於普世、而躋於光榮者也。
