507、被称为“该南”的教会与那三个更完美的教会不可相提并论,因为在前三个教会中如此清晰的感知现在开始变得笼统,比较像离果实或种子的核最近的第一层软膜。尽管这种状态没有实际描述出来,但仍从下文,如从名为“以诺”和“挪亚”的教会的描述明显看出来。

[NCE]507. The church called Kenan must not be counted as belonging with the three more perfect ones because in its time the more distinct perception of the earlier churches began to become more general. It was like the first, somewhat soft layers of a fruit or seed next to the pit or germ. Conditions in this church are not described, admittedly, but can be seen from later verses — from the description of the churches named Enoch and Noah, for example [519, 521-522, 530-531].
Potts(1905-1910) 507
507. The church called "Kenan" is not to be so much reckoned among those three more perfect ones, inasmuch as perception, which in the former churches had been distinct, began now to become general, comparatively as are the first and softer membranes relatively to the kernel of fruits or seeds; which state is not indeed described, but still is apparent from what follows, as from the description of the churches called "Enoch" and "Noah."
Elliott(1983-1999) 507
507. The Church called Kenan must not be listed so closely with those three that were more perfect, for this was the point when the perception which had been so definite with those former Churches started to become general. Comparatively it was like the first and softer coverings closest to the kernel of a fruit or seed. Although this state is not actually described it is nevertheless apparent from what follows, in the description of the Churches named Enoch and Noah.
Latin(1748-1756) 507
507. Ecclesia 'Kenan' dicta non recensenda ita est inter perfectiores illas tres, nam incepit tunc perceptio quae apud priores distincta fuit, communis fieri; et comparative sicut primae et molliores membranae se habent ad nucleum fructus seu seminis; qui status quidem non describitur sed usque conspicitur a sequentibus, ut a descriptione Ecclesiarum quae 'Hanoch' et quae 'Noah' appellatae.
