524、关于玛土撒拉所表示的教会的性质，经上没有提到任何具体信息；它的感知力是笼统和模糊的，这一点从对被称为“挪亚”的教会的描述明显看出来。因此，完美性降低，智慧和聪明也随之衰退。

[NCE]524. Nothing specific is mentioned about the nature of the church [meant by Methuselah] but its perception did grow general and dim, as can be seen from the description of the church called Noah. So it grew less sound, and as it did, its wisdom and understanding faded.
Potts(1905-1910) 524
524. Nothing is mentioned concerning the quality of this church; but that its perceptive faculty was general and obscure, is evident from the description of the church called "Noah;" so that perfection decreased, and with perfection wisdom and intelligence.
Elliott(1983-1999) 524
524. As to the character of this Church nothing specific is mentioned. Nevertheless it is clear from the description of the Church called 'Noah' that perceptivity became general and vague, so that integrity diminished, and with integrity, wisdom and intelligence.
Latin(1748-1756) 524
524. Qualis fuerit haec Ecclesia, nihil memoratur in specie; sed quod perceptivum factum commune et obscuram, constat a descriptione Ecclesiae quae 'Noahus' vocatur; sic ut decreverit integritas, et cum integritate sapientia et intelligentia.
