且以啟示莫大之故、恐我自高過甚、加刺於我身、即撒但之役擊我、免我自高過甚也、

又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大，就过于自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉体上，就是撒但的差役要攻击我，免得我过于自高。

又恐怕我因所得的启示太高深，就过于高抬自己，所以有一根刺加在我身上，就是撒但的差役来折磨我，免得我过于高抬自己。

又恐怕我因所得的启示太高深，就过于高抬自己，所以有一根刺加在我身上，就是撒但的差役来折磨我，免得我过于高抬自己。

为了使我不至于因所受的启示太大而自高，有一根“刺”在我身上，就是有撒旦的爪牙攻击我，免得我骄傲自大。

又因为我所得的启示太大，恐怕会高抬自己，所以就有一根刺加在我的身上，就是撒但的差役来攻击我，免得我高抬自己。

并且为了不让我因这些极大的启示而高抬自己，有一根刺加在我的肉体上，就是撒旦的使者来击打我，免得我高抬自己。

又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大，就過於自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉體上，就是撒但的差役要攻擊我，免得我過於自高。

又恐怕我因所得的啟示太高深，就過於高抬自己，所以有一根刺加在我身上，就是撒但的差役來折磨我，免得我過於高抬自己。

又恐怕我因所得的啟示太高深，就過於高抬自己，所以有一根刺加在我身上，就是撒但的差役來折磨我，免得我過於高抬自己。

為了使我不至於因所受的啟示太大而自高，有一根「刺」在我身上，就是有撒旦的爪牙攻擊我，免得我驕傲自大。

又因為我所得的啟示太大，恐怕會高抬自己，所以就有一根刺加在我的身上，就是撒但的差役來攻擊我，免得我高抬自己。

故此、為要使我不至於因這些啓示之高超性而過於高抬自己，便有一種刺痛給了我、在肉身上、就是撒但的使者、來折磨我，免得我過於高抬自己。

並且為了不讓我因這些極大的啟示而高抬自己，有一根刺加在我的肉體上，就是撒旦的使者來擊打我，免得我高抬自己。

蓋莫大此默示、恐我自高、故身受刺、任撒但之役擊我、使我不得自高、

既得默示甚多、恐我自高、故加刺於我身、即撒但之使擊我、免我自高、

且主亦恐我以受此特達之啟示、而驕矜自慢也；故容沙殫加我以肉身上之痛楚、有如芒刺之着體、蓋不欲吾之得意而忘形耳。

付若人於撒但、以滅其形軀、使其靈得救於主耶穌之日、

惟其心驕傲、其性剛愎、泰然而行、乃黜其王位、奪其尊榮、

斯土之民、爾不驅逐、則爾所遺者、必為爾目中之刺、脇下之棘、擾爾於所居之地、

故我又曰、必不逐斯民於爾前、彼將為爾脇下之棘、其神將為爾擭、

惟希西家不報所受之恩、中心高傲、以是震怒將及於彼、與猶大暨耶路撒冷、然希西家抑其驕心、與耶路撒冷居民自卑、故希西家存日、耶和華之怒未及之、

彼既強盛、心則高傲、致行邪僻、干犯其上帝耶和華、入耶和華殿、欲焚香於香壇、

甫入教者未可也、恐其自衒、罹魔之刑、

爾知我昔以形軀之弱、宣福音於爾、

撒但退、擊約伯、使之發癰、自踵至頂、

巴比倫牧伯遣使見希西家、詢其境內所見奇事、上帝離希西家、欲試之、以悉其心、

免其對於昆弟、中心驕矜、違此誡命、偏於左右、則可延年於國、在以色列中、爰及子孫、

心遂高傲、忘爾上帝耶和華、導爾出埃及、脫於奴隸之室、

昔以色列家、為四周列國所藐視、刺之如棘、傷之如莿、後不復有、則知我乃主耶和華、○

舉凡計謀及矜高、阻人識上帝者、我悉敗之、虜諸心志、降服基督、

人若僕爾、噬爾、虜爾、侮爾、批爾、爾則容之、

相角之時、其人自知不勝、觸雅各髀傷之、

遂唾其面、拳擊之、有手批之者、曰、

日出時、雅各過毘努伊勒、髀傷、其行蹣跚、

迄今我儕飢渴、裹體受撻、靡有定處、

況此婦為亞伯拉罕之裔、撒但繫之十有八年、不當於安息日解其結乎、
