In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

These teachers are never satisfied. They want to get something out of you. So they make up stories to take advantage of you. They have been under a sentence of death for a long time. The God who will destroy them has not been sleeping.

And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.

They will exploit you in their greed with made-up stories. Their condemnation, pronounced long ago, is not idle, and their destruction does not sleep.

and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

因是、吾人不敢貶損天主聖道、以圖私利、若滔滔者之所為；惟知契合基督、對越天主、一秉至誠、以宣純粹之道而已矣。

吾儕未嘗用阿諛之詞、是爾等所知也。亦未嘗圖私利、是天主所知也。

喪心病狂、天理泯滅、甚且以宗教為貿利之途。

斯輩不事吾主基督、惟事口腹、以巧言媚語、誘惑庸眾。

此輩貪圖不義之財、教人以不經之事、流毒所及、覆人家室；當有以緘其長舌、莫令謬種流傳。

蓋吾儕所宣揚吾主耶穌基督之神德及其重臨、非據玄思妙構之稗乘、乃憑親炙目睹之威靈也。

然則吾豈曾假所遣之人、佔爾便宜耶？我曾慫恿提多至爾處、並遣發一兄弟與之偕、提多曾佔爾便宜乎？吾儕豈非表裏如一、心跡雙清者乎。

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。

吾必克其敵。手擊眾醜類。

心懷叵測、為玷為辱；眸子不正、惟見邪淫；意志薄弱者、受其誘惑；惟利是圖、實地獄中人也。若輩捨棄正道、流入歧途、與包掃兒之子巴拉盎實屬一路之人。彼巴拉盎者、貪戀不義之財、

赫赫稜威。浩浩宏謨。眾敵畏服。萬彙翕如。

再加索多馬蛾靡拉及其周鄰諸邑、皆以放縱恣肆、褻行無恥、爰受永火之刑、用垂炯戒。

蓋司牧乃天主之家宰、是宜無懈可擊、毋剛愎自用、毋暴氣動怒。凡嗜酒毆人、貪婪財貨、皆非所宜。

人方曰：「平安無虞、」而倏忽之間、大難已臨其身、正如臨蓐之婦、欲避分娩之苦、未由也已。

觀此可見天主固知何以脫善人於危難、而將惡人留待審判之日、以受顯罰。

言末竟、而眾已至、十二徒之一名茹答斯者、為之先導、趨耶穌而吻之、

予實語爾、天主必迅予昭雪矣。雖然、人子重臨之日、猶能見篤信之德、存於人世否乎？』

望爾等勉為天主羊群之良牧、勿用霸道、當用王道。毋惟利是圖、當以善為樂。

乃遣諜者偽為善人、伺其言有隙、執交有司。

主既救我於眾民之背叛兮。又立我為萬國之君。作新民以事我兮。且非我素識之人。

又曰：『此為躓石、觸之必蹶。』若輩不順天主之道、宜其蹶也、亦定命耳。

世之眾賈亦當哀哀而哭之；蓋誰復購其貨物乎？其貨有金銀珠寶、細紵紫絳、錦緞緋布、又有各種香木象牙、珍貴木器、銅器、鐵器、玉器、以及肉桂香料、香膏、乳香、與酒油、麵粉、小麥、牛羊車馬、乃至人之身體靈魂、亦供其營業。

哀哉此輩、既追踵該因、步其後塵；且以利忘身、而流入巴賴之歧途；又不惜與可拉並肩作亂、而自取滅亡也。

顧謂售鴿者曰：『速收拾以去！勿以吾父之室、轉為貿利之場！』

而比來頗有不肖之徒、混入同道之中、假我天主之洪恩、以恣其私慾、明目張膽、否認吾人之唯一真宰、唯一真主耶穌基督。此輩大逆不道、實地獄中人也。

不可沉湎於酒、舉止暴躁；務須溫柔寬裕、與世無爭、不戀財物、

為副祭者、亦須莊重自愛、弗可一口兩舌、飲酒無度、貪婪不義之財；

將審判普天生靈、而處諸悖逆之罪、且按其平生之惡業謗讟、而施刑焉。』
