爾中必有偏黨、使諳練者顯焉、

爾中必各自為黨、以別諳練者焉、

爾中不免有各異議為黨之事、使爾中練達者顯著、

No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.

Do you really think you need to take sides? You probably think God favors one side over the other!

for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!

Indeed, it is necessary that there be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.

There must, indeed, be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.

For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

此輩雖自吾儕中出、然自始非吾道中人；若真屬吾道中人、則應始終與吾儕相偕；今若輩半途而廢、與我分道、則其本非吾道中人、彰彰明矣。

人有分門結黨、經一再勸戒而不悛者、絕之可也，

即爾中亦必有人倡為悖謬之說誘惑信眾、使入邪途。

耶穌復謂門徒曰：『厲階之生、在所不免；然而甘為厲階者、禍莫大焉！

哀哉斯世、以其梗障之多也。梗障之生、在所不免、而甘為梗障之緣者、哀莫大焉。

爾曹曷細自檢點、一測爾信德之虛實。爾曹詎不自知基督實寓於爾心中乎？抑爾曹乃為有名無實之信徒乎？吾儕決不為有名無實；此不能不望爾曹知之也。吾茲祈天主使爾不致為非作惡、而非欲證吾之真實、乃欲使爾為善耳。倘能成爾之美、則吾雖蹈有名無實、色厲內荏之嫌、亦所願焉！

然適如昔日之有偽先知起自民間、將來爾中亦必有荒誕之師、潛播異端、陷溺人心、乃至忘恩負義、否認其贖身之主、於以自速其亡。且必有多人與之推波助瀾、同流合污、以致真諦妙道、因斯輩之故、為世詬病。

雖然、依聖神之明示、後來必有叛道棄信者焉。若輩惑於邪神、溺於魔道、輕信天良銷鑠、言行詐偽之人、

拜偶像、行巫術、仇恨爭競、好勝忿怒朋比釁隙、

依吾等所見、此人實為蝥賊、煽動普天下猶太人作亂、又係納匝勒異端之一首領、

將有利刃刺透爾之心魂；而眾心之向背、亦將因是而昭然若揭矣。』

彼倘肯作證、必知予自幼遵奉吾教中最嚴格之一宗、固法利塞也。

大司祭及其同黨均撒杜責教徒、忮心滿懷、

獨有法利塞派之教徒起而言曰：『若輩必須受割禮、且告以遵守摩西律法。』

但吾儕願一聆教言、以吾所聞今之新教、固無在而不受非議也。』

但有一事、予可自白：即彼等所稱為異端之道、予確以斯道昭事吾祖之天主、且篤信律法及先知書中所載之一切也。
