65:1
I bid. — Timens Deum, et recedens a malo. 17. Deum quomodo timuit. — Scriptum est de illo: Et replevit eum spiritus timoris Domini ( Isai. xi, 3). Incarnatus enim Dominus in semetipso omne quod nobis d inspiravit, ostendit; ut quod praecepto diceret, exemplo suaderet. Juxta humanitatis ergo naturam Redemptor noster Deum timuit; quia ut superbum hominem redimeret e mentem pro illo humilem sumpsit. Cujus bene per hoc, quod rece- dere a malo Job dicitur, et actio designatur. Ipse quippe recessit a malo, non quod faciendo contigit, sed quod inveniendo reprobavit: quia vetustam, quam natus invenit, humanae conversationis vitam deseruit; et novam, quam secum detulit sequacium moribus impressit.
The same place. — Fearing God, and departing from evil. 17. How He feared God. — It is written of Him: 'And the spirit of the fear of the Lord filled Him' (Isa. xi, 3). For the incarnate Lord showed forth in Himself all that He inspired in us; that what He might say by precept, He might persuade by example. According to the nature of His humanity, then, our Redeemer feared God; because, in order to redeem proud man, He took for him a humble mind. Of whom well, by this, that Job is said to depart from evil, His action too is designated. For He indeed departed from evil, not that which He touched by doing, but that which He reproved by finding: because He forsook the old life of human conversation, which being born He found; and impressed upon the manners of His followers the new life which He brought with Himself.
同處。——敬畏神，遠離惡事。十七、祂如何敬畏神。——經上論到祂記著說：「敬畏耶和華的靈充滿了祂」（以賽亞書十一章3節，按拉丁本）。因為道成肉身的主在自己身上顯明了祂在我們裡面所激發的一切；好使祂藉誡命所說的，藉榜樣加以勸服。因此，按祂人性的本性，我們的救贖主敬畏神；因為為要救贖驕傲的人，祂為他取了謙卑的心思。論到祂，藉著約伯被說成遠離惡事這事，祂的行動也得以表明。因為祂確實遠離惡事，不是祂藉行而觸及的惡，乃是祂藉察而斥責的惡：因為祂捨棄了祂降生時所見人性交往的舊生活；並將祂隨身帶來的新生活印在跟隨者的品行上。
