61:1
I bid. — Dicebat enim: Ne forte peccaverint filii mei et benedixerint Deo in cordibus suis. 13. De alterius corde non est temere judicandum. In rectores fidelium qui eorum opera nesciunt. — Per- fectos quippe esse in opere et sermone docuerat, pro quibus de sola pater cogitatione metuebat. Quia vero de alien(??)s cordibus judicare temere non debea- mus, in sancti hujus viri verbis agnoscimus, qui non ait: Quia benedixerunt in cordibus suis: sed, Ne forte benedixerint Deo in cordibus suis. Unde bene per Paulum dicitur: Nolite judicare ante tempus, quoadusque veniat Dominus, qui illuminabit abscondita tenebrarum, et manifestabit consilia cordium ( I Cor. iv, 5).[ Vet. VIII ].
The same place. — For he said: It may be that my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. 13. Concerning another's heart one must not judge rashly. Against rulers of the faithful who know not their works. — He had taught that they were perfect in deed and word, and it was concerning thought alone that the father feared for them. But that we ought not rashly to judge concerning the hearts of others, we recognise in the words of this holy man, who says not: 'Because they have blessed God in their hearts': but, 'It may be that they have blessed God in their hearts.' Whence well it is said by Paul: 'Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts' (1 Cor. iv, 5).
同處。——他說：恐怕我的兒子犯了罪，心中棄掉神。十三、論人不可輕率論斷他人的內心。斥責那些不知門徒行為的信徒的領袖。——他已教導他們在行為與言語上都是完全的，父親所懼怕的僅是關乎意念。然而我們不當輕率論斷他人的內心，這是我們在這聖人的話中所認出的，他不說：「因為他們在心中棄掉神」，乃說：「恐怕他們在心中棄掉神」。故此保羅恰當地說：「時候未到，什麼都不要論斷，只等主來，祂要照出暗中的隱情，顯明人心的意念」（哥林多前書四章5節）。
61:2
Quisquis enim in cogitatione a rec- titudine exorbitat, in tenebris peccat. Nos ergo tanto minus debemus aliena corda audacter reprehendere, quanto scimus, quia visu nostro non possumus alienae cogitationis tenebras illustrare. a Sed hac solerter intuendum est, quanta pater severitate potuit filio- rum opera corrigere, qui tanta sollicitudine studuit corda mundare. Quid ad haec rectores fidelium di- cunt, qui discipulorum suorum et aperta opera nesciunt? Quid in sua excusatione cogitant, qui in commissis sibi nec(??)vulnera actionum curant? Ut vero hujus sancti b operis etiam perseverantia de- monstretur, recte subjungitur:
For whosoever in his thought strays from uprightness sins in darkness. We therefore ought so much the less boldly to reprehend the hearts of others, in proportion as we know that by our sight we cannot illuminate the darkness of another's thought. But this is to be carefully observed, with how great severity the father could correct the deeds of the sons, who with so great solicitude strove to cleanse their hearts. What do the rulers of the faithful say to these things, who know not even the open deeds of their disciples? What do they think in their own excuse, who do not even cure the wounds of the actions committed to them? But that the perseverance also of this holy work may be shown, it is rightly subjoined:
因為凡在思念中偏離正直的人，就在黑暗中犯罪。因此，我們愈曉得憑我們的目光不能照亮他人思念的黑暗，就愈當減少大膽責備他人的內心。但這當仔細觀察：那父親能以何等大的嚴謹糾正兒子的行為，他既以如此大的掛慮竭力潔淨他們的心。那些信徒的領袖對這些事怎麼說呢？他們連門徒公開的行為都不曉得。他們在自己的辯解中作何思想呢？他們連託付給他們之人行為的傷口都不醫治。但為要也顯明這聖工的恆忍，就恰當地補充說：
