弟兄们，我们是凭着应许作儿女，如同以撒一样。
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
他们心地昏昧，与神所赐的生命隔绝了，都因自己无知，心里刚硬。
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
