791:1
V ers. 29. — Qui enim humiliatus fuerit, erit in gloria; et qui inclinaverit oculos suos, ipse salvabitur. 29. Humilitatis commendatio. — Quae nimirum sententia a Veritatis ore non discrepat dicentis: Omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur ( Luc. xiv, 11). Unde et per Salomonem dicitur: Antequam conteratur, exaltatur cor hominis; et e antequam glorietur, humiliatur ( Prov. xviii, 12). Recte autem dicitur: Qui inclinaverit oculos suos, ipse salvabitur, quia, quantum per membrorum mi- nisterium deprehendi potest, prima superbiae osten- sio esse in oculis solet. Hinc enim scriptum est: Et oculos superborum humiliabis ( Psal. xvii, 28).
Verse 29. — For he that hath been humbled shall be in glory; and he that shall bow down his eyes, he shall be saved. The commendation of humility. — Which sentence, indeed, does not disagree with the mouth of Truth, who says: Everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted (Luke 14[:11]). Whence too it is said through Solomon: Before it is broken, the heart of man is exalted; and before it is glorified, it is humbled (Proverbs 18[:12]). And it is rightly said: He that shall bow down his eyes, he shall be saved, because, so far as can be discerned through the ministry of the members, the first display of pride is wont to be in the eyes. For hence it is written: And the eyes of the proud thou shalt humble (Psalm 17[:28]).
第二十九節。——因為凡自卑的必得榮耀；凡垂下眼目的，他必得救。對謙卑的稱許。——這句話的確與真理的口所說的並不相違，祂說：凡自高的必降為卑，自卑的必升為高（路加福音十四〔11〕）。因此也藉所羅門說：敗壞之先，人心自高；尊榮以前，先有謙卑（箴言十八〔12〕）。並且恰當地說：凡垂下眼目的，他必得救，因為，就藉肢體的功用所能辨識的而言，驕傲最初的顯露慣常在於眼目。因為由此記著說：你必使高傲的眼目降卑（詩篇十七〔28〕）。
791:2
Hinc de ipso superbientium capite dicitur: Omne sublime videt ( Job xli, 25). Hinc de illa quae ei per infide- litatem adhaesit scriptum est: Generatio cujus excelsi sunt oculi, et palpebrae: ejus f in altum subrectae ( Prov. xxx, 13). Oculos ergo inclinare est nullum respiciendo despicere, sed se minorem atque impa- rem cunctis quos aspicit aestimare. Salvabitur itaque qui oculos inclinat, quia qui falsum superbiae verticem deserit, veritatis altitudinem ascendit. Sequitur:
Hence it is said of the very head of the proud: He beholdeth everything that is high (Job 41[:25]). Hence it is written of her who cleaved to him through faithlessness: A generation whose eyes are lofty, and whose eyelids are lifted up on high (Proverbs 30[:13]). To bow down the eyes, therefore, is to despise no one by looking down upon him, but to esteem oneself lesser and inferior to all whom one beholds. And so he shall be saved who bows down his eyes, because he who forsakes the false summit of pride ascends the height of truth. There follows:
因此論到那驕傲者的元首本身說：牠看見一切高大的（約伯記四十一〔25〕）。因此論到那藉不信而依附牠的說：有一等人，眼目何其高傲，眼皮也是高舉（箴言三十〔13〕）。所以垂下眼目，就是不藉俯視去鄙視任何人，反倒看自己比所看見的眾人都更小、更卑微。所以垂下眼目的人必得救，因為凡離棄驕傲那虛假巔峰的人，就登上真理的高處。接著說：
