But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

welcher aber solches nicht hat, der ist blind und tappt mit der Hand und vergißt die Reinigung seiner vorigen Sünden.
Mas el que no tiene estas cosas, es ciego, y tiene la vista muy corta, habiendo olvidado la purificación de sus antiguos pecados.
Mais celui en qui ces choses ne sont point est aveugle, il ne voit pas de loin, et il a mis en oubli la purification de ses anciens péchés.
Poichè colui nel quale queste cose non sono, è cieco, di corta vista, avendo dimenticato il purgamento de’ suoi vecchi peccati.
Pois aquele em quem não há estas coisas é cego, nada vendo ao longe, havendo-se esquecido da purificação dos seus antigos pecados.
沒有這幾樣的人就是瞎眼,是短視,忘了他過去的罪已經得了潔淨。
