538、还有一些灵人连天堂是什么都不知道,却也在努力进入天堂。他们被告知,除非他们拥有爱之信,否则进入天堂就像在熊熊烈火中行走一样危险;但他们仍一意孤行。一抵达第一道入口处,也就是天使灵的低层气场,他们就受到猛击,以至于仰面栽倒。他们以这种方式被教导,在被主预备好接受信的情感之前,仅仅靠近天堂是多么危险。

[NCE]538. Another group with no idea what heaven is like was also making an effort to get in. They were told that unless they possessed a faith inspired by love, entering heaven was as dangerous as walking through fire; but they still insisted. On reaching the "front entryway" — the lower realm of angelic spirits — they received such a blow that they went tearing off in the opposite direction as fast as they could go. From this they learned how much danger there was in merely approaching heaven before the Lord had prepared them to feel the emotions that come with faith.
Potts(1905-1910) 538
538. There were some who sought admission into heaven without knowing what heaven is. They were told that unless they were in the faith of love, to enter heaven would be as dangerous as going into a flame; but still they sought for it. When they arrived at the first entrance court, that is to say, the lower sphere of angelic spirits, they were smitten so hard that they threw themselves headlong back, and in this way were taught how dangerous it is merely to approach heaven until prepared by the Lord to receive the affections of faith.
Elliott(1983-1999) 538
538. There were also some who were striving to get into heaven without knowing what heaven was. They were told that if they did not possess the faith that inheres in love, entering heaven was as dangerous as walking into a blazing fire. But they went on doing all they could to get there. When they reached its most outlying area however, that is, that lower sphere of angelic spirits, they found it so overpowering that they flung themselves back in the opposite direction. In this way they were shown how dangerous it was merely to approach heaven before they had been prepared by the Lord to receive the affections that accompany faith.
Latin(1748-1756) 538
538. Quidam etiam ambiebant in caelum, nescientes quid caelum, quibus dictum quod tam periculosum sit venire in caelum nisi sint in fide amoris, sicut in flammam; sed usque ambiebant: cum venerunt ad primum atrium seu in sphaeram interiorem spirituum angelicorum, ita perculsi sunt ut se praecipites retro conjicerent; inde instructi quantum periculi sit modo approximare ad caelum antequam praeparati sunt a Domino recipiendi fidei affectiones.
