499:1
V ers. 13.— Apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo; ipse habet consilium et intelligentiam. 11. Christus Dei sapientia et fortitudo.—Haec non incong(??)ue de Unigenito summi Patris accipimus, ut ipsum esse Dei sapientiam et fortitudinem sentiamus. Nam Paulus quoque nostro intellectui attestatur. dicens: Christum Dei virtutem et Dei sapientiam ( I Cor. i, 24); qui apud ipsum semper est, quia in principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum ( Joan. i, 1). Habet autem Deus consilium et intelligentiam: consilium videlicet, quia disponit sua; intelligentiam, quia cognoscit nostra. [ Vet.
Verse 13. — With Him is wisdom and strength; He has counsel and understanding. 11. Christ the wisdom and strength of God. — These things we not unfittingly receive concerning the Only-begotten of the most high Father, so that we may perceive Him to be the Wisdom and Strength of God. For Paul too attests to our understanding, saying: Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Cor. i, 24); who is always with Him, because in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John i, 1). Now God has counsel and understanding: counsel, namely, because He disposes His own things; understanding, because He knows our things.
第十三節。——在神有智慧和能力，祂有謀略和知識。十一、基督是神的智慧和能力。——這些話我們並非不合宜地領會為論到至高之父的獨生子，好使我們認識祂就是神的智慧和能力。因為保羅也向我們的悟性作證，說：基督是神的能力，神的智慧（哥林多前書一24）；祂常與神同在，因為太初有道，道與神同在，道就是神（約翰福音一1）。神有謀略和知識：所謂謀略，因祂安排祂自己的事；所謂知識，因祂知道我們的事。
499:2
V.] Potest quoque consilii nomine c ipsa oc- culti judicii mora signari, ut quod aliquando tardius delinquentes perculit, non quia iniquorum culpa non conspicitur, sed ut damnationis eorum sententia, quae pro agenda poenitentia differtur, d quasi tarda ex consilio prodire videatur. Quod ergo foris quan- doque aperta sententia indicat, hoc apud omnipo- tentem Dominum ante saecula in consilio latebat. Sequitur:
By the name of 'counsel' can also be signified the very delay of the hidden judgment, so that what sometimes strikes offenders rather tardily does so not because the guilt of the wicked is not perceived, but that the sentence of their damnation, which is deferred for the doing of penance, may seem, as it were, to issue slowly out of deliberation. What, then, an open sentence sometimes declares outwardly, this lay hidden in counsel before the ages with the almighty Lord. There follows:
「謀略」一詞也可指那隱密審判的遲延，以致有時較晚才擊打犯罪者，並非因為惡人的罪過未被看見，而是要使他們定罪的判決——那為了施行悔改而延緩的判決——彷彿出於深思熟慮而緩緩發出。因此，那有時在外顯明的公開判決，在萬有之前就早已隱藏於全能之主的謀略中。接著說：
