謂其仲子亦如之、對曰、主諾、既而不往、

命其次子亦如之、對曰、主、諾、既而不果往、

他们说是认识神，行事却和他相背；本是可憎恶的，是悖逆的，在各样善事上是可废弃的。

他们来到你这里如同民来聚会，坐在你面前仿佛是我的民。他们听你的话却不去行；因为他们的口多显爱情，心却追随财利。

凡他们所吩咐你们的，你们都要谨守遵行。但不要效法他们的行为；因为他们能说，不能行。

你称为犹太人，又倚靠律法，且指着神夸口；既从律法中受了教训，就晓得神的旨意，也能分别是非；又深信自己是给瞎子领路的，是黑暗中人的光，是蠢笨人的师傅，是小孩子的先生，在律法上有知识和真理的模范。你既是教导别人，还不教导自己吗？你讲说人不可偷窃，自己还偷窃吗？你说人不可奸淫，自己还奸淫吗？你厌恶偶像，自己还偷窃庙中之物吗？你指着律法夸口，自己倒犯律法、玷辱神吗？神的名在外邦人中，因你们受了亵渎，正如经上所记的。你若是行律法的，割礼固然于你有益；若是犯律法的，你的割礼就算不得割礼。
