484、被称为“塞特”的教会与上古教会非常相似,这一点从这句话明显看出来,即:那人“以自己的样式,按自己的形像生子,给他起名叫塞特”。“样式”与信有关,“形像”与爱有关。因为就爱和源于爱的信而言,该教会与上古教会不同,这一点从前一句经文明显看出来,即:“祂创造他们,有男性有女性,并赐福给他们,给他们起名叫人”,以此表示第六日的属灵人,如前所述。这个人的样式将是第六日的属灵人,也就是说,爱不是那么至高无上,但信仍与爱结合。

[NCE]484. The fact that the church called Seth shared a close similarity with the earliest church can be seen from the fact that it says the human fathered [a child] in his likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth. The likeness has to do with faith and the image with love. This church, you see, was not like the earliest church in loving, and therefore believing in, the Lord, as can be seen from the statement just above, "Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and called their name Human" [Genesis 5:2]. These words, as noted above [476], symbolize the spiritual person of the sixth day, so that Seth's likeness was to the spiritual person of the sixth day. In other words, love was not so much the primary concern in this church, yet faith was still bound up with love.

484. That the church called "Seth" was very nearly like the Most Ancient Church, is evident from its being said that the man begat in his likeness, according to his image, and called his name Seth; the term "likeness" having relation to faith, and "image" to love; for that this church was not like the Most Ancient Church with regard to love and its derivative faith, is plain from its being said just before, "Male and female created He them, and blessed them, and called their name Man" by which is signified the spiritual man of the sixth day, as was said above, so that the likeness of this man was to the spiritual man of the sixth day, that is, love was not so much the principal, but still faith was conjoined With love.
Elliott(1983-1999) 484
484. The Church called 'Seth' was very similar to the Most Ancient Church. This is clear from the statement that 'Man beget in his own likeness, according to his own Image, and called his name Seth'. 'Likeness' has regard to faith and 'image' to love. That it was not in fact the same as the Most Ancient Church so far as love to the Lord and faith deriving from that love were concerned is clear from the statement immediately previous, 'Male and female He created them, blessed them, and called their name Man', meaning the spiritual man of the sixth day, as stated already. The likeness of this man was to the spiritual man of the sixth day, that is, love was not so much supreme, but faith was still joined to love.
Latin(1748-1756) 484
484. Quod Ecclesia quae 'Sheth' dicta, proxime similis fuerit Ecclesiae Antiquissimae, constat inde quod dicatur quod 'Homo genuerit in similitudinem suam, secundum imaginem suam, et vocavit nomen ejus Sheth'; 'similitudo' spectat fidem et 'imago' amorem, nam quod non fuerit sicut Antiquissima Ecclesia quoad amorem et inde fidem in Dominum, constat ex eo quod mox prius dicat 'Masculum et feminam creavit illos, benedixit illis, et vocavit nomen illorum Homo,' quibus significatur homo spiritualis sexti diei, ut prius dictum; quare similitudo ejus fuit, sicut spiritualis sexti diei quod est quod amor non ita principale fuit, sed usque quod fides amori conjuncta.
