1891、主的第一理性按秩序通过流注，或内在人与属于外在人的对记忆知识的情感之生命的结合而孕育（1-3节）。但这情感因从外在人中生出，故具有这种性质：它轻视直觉真理（4节）。因此，主思想的是，把它制服（5-9节），并且一旦被制服，它会变得属灵和属天（10-11节）。接着经上描述了若未被制服，它将是何性质（12节）。主从祂的内层人的视角洞察原因（13-14节）。因此，经上描述了祂的理性的性质；还描述了当该理性开始出现时主的状态（15-16节）。
Potts(1905-1910) 1891
1891. The Lord's first rational was conceived according to order by the influx or conjunction of the internal man with the life of the affection of memory-knowledges belonging to the external (verses 1-3). But as this affection was of the external man, its nature was such that it held intellectual truth in low esteem (verse 4). On which account the Lord thought concerning the subjugation of it (verses 5-9), and that when subjugated, it would become spiritual and celestial (verses 10, 11). What it would be if not subjugated, is described (verse 12); the Lord's insight into the cause from His interior man (verses 13, 14). The rational is thus described in respect to its quality; also the Lord's state when it originated (verses 15, 16).
Elliott(1983-1999) 1891
1891. The Lord's first rational was conceived according to order through the inflowing, that is, through the joining of the Internal Man to the life of the affection for knowledge belonging to the External, verses 1-3. But because it was born from the External Man, it was by nature such as despised intellectual truth, verse 4. Therefore the Lord thought about it being brought into subjection, verses 5-9, and that once it had been brought into subjection it would become spiritual and celestial, verses 10, 11. The nature of it if it had not been brought into subjection is described, verse 1a. The Lord's insight from His Interior Man into the cause, verses 13, 14. Thus the rational as to its nature is described; also the Lord's state when this rational began, verses 15, 16.
