2885# 要理解什么是奴役，什么是自由，人必须先了解它们的起源。而这种起源只能从圣经中获知。此外，人还需要明白自己的情感（源于意志）和思维（源于理智）是如何运作的。没有这些认知，就无法真正理解奴役和自由的本质。
2885、没有人能知道何为奴役，何为自由，除非他知道它们的源头。若不从圣言，没有人能看到源头。此外，除非了解人在其属于意愿的情感和属于理解力的思维方面是怎么回事，否则也没有人能看到源头。
Potts(1905-1910) 2885
2885. No one can know what slavery is and what freedom is, unless he knows the origin of them (which no one can know except from the Word), and unless he knows how the case is with man in regard to his affections which are of his will, and his thoughts which are of his understanding.
Elliott(1983-1999) 2885
2885. Nobody is able to know what slavery is and what freedom is unless he knows the origin of each one. Nobody can know either origin except from the Word and unless he knows about man's affections belonging to the will and about his thoughts belonging to the understanding.
Latin(1748-1756) 2885
2885. Nemo quid servum et quid liberum sit, scire potest nisi sciat originem unius et alterius; quam scire nec quisquam potest nisi ex Verbo; et nisi sciat quomodo se habet cum homine quoad ejus affectiones quae sunt voluntatis, et quoad ejus cogitationes quae sunt intellectus.
