505、如前所述,“以挪士”是第三个教会,仍是上古众教会之一,但不如“塞特”教会那么属天,因而不那么具有感知力;而“塞特”教会又不如被称为“人”的母教会那么属天和具有感知力。构成上古教会的这三个教会,相对于随后的教会,就像果实或种子的核,而随后的教会比较像它们的膜或外壳。

[NCE]505. Enosh, as noted, is the third church, one of the primeval ones but less heavenly and as a result less perceptive than the church Seth, which in turn was not as heavenly and perceptive as the church that gave it birth, called "the human."
These three are the churches that constitute the earliest church. They are like the pit of a fruit or the germ of a seed in relation to the churches that followed. These later churches resemble the outer layers of a fruit or seed by comparison.
Potts(1905-1910) 505
505. "Enosh" as before observed, is a third church, yet one of the most ancient churches, but less celestial, and consequently less perceptive, than the church "Seth;" and this latter was not so celestial and perceptive as the parent church, called "Man." These three are what constitute the Most Ancient Church, which, relatively to the succeeding ones, was as the kernel of fruits, or seeds, whereas the succeeding churches are relatively as the membranaceous parts of these.
Elliott(1983-1999) 505
505. As has been stated, Enosh is a third Church, one of the Most Ancient Churches. But it was less celestial and so less perceptive than the Church of Seth, which in turn was not so celestial or perceptive as the parent Church called Man had been. These three constituting the Most Ancient Church were, in relation to those that followed, like the kernel of fruit or seeds, whereas the Churches that followed were relatively like their outer coverings.
Latin(1748-1756) 505
505. Enosh est, ut dictum, tertia Ecclesia, una Antiquissimarum, sed minus caelestis, proinde minus perceptiva, quam Ecclesia 'Sheth,' et haec non ita caelestis ac perceptiva sicut Ecclesia parens 'Homo' dicta. Hae tres sunt quae constituunt Antiquissimam; quasi nucleum fructuum aut seminum respective ad sequentes, sequentes autem naturam membranaceam illorum respective referunt.
