So wir denn göttlichen Geschlechts sind, sollen wir nicht meinen, die Gottheit sei gleich den goldenen, silbernen und steinernen Bildern, durch menschliche Kunst und Gedanken gemacht.
Siendo pues linaje de Dios, no hemos de estimar la Divinidad ser semejante a oro, o a plata, o a piedra, escultura de artificio o de imaginación de hombres.
Por tanto, siendo linaje de Dios, no debemos pensar que la divinidad sea semejante al oro, la plata o la piedra, una imagen hecha por el arte y la imaginación del ser humano.
Ainsi donc, étant la race de Dieu, nous ne devons pas croire que la divinité soit semblable à de l'or, à de l'argent, ou à de la pierre, sculptés par l'art et l'industrie de l'homme.
Essendo noi adunque progenie di Dio, non dobbiamo stimar che la Deità sia simigliante ad oro, o ad argento, od a pietra; a scoltura d’arte, e d’invenzione umana.
Sendo nós, pois, geração de Deus, não havemos de cuidar que a divindade seja semelhante ao ouro, ou à prata, ou à pedra esculpida por artifício e imaginação dos homens.
既然我們是上帝所生的,就不應該以為上帝的神性像人用手藝和心思所雕刻的金、銀、石像一般。
