894、“正月初一”表示一个起点或一个新的开始。现在这一点从前面的阐述清楚可知。这句话的含义太过深奥，以至于无法描述。只能说重要的一点是，人并没有一个确定的时间段，使得他在此期间彻底重生到能够说“现在我很完美”。事实上，每个人都有无数邪恶和虚假的状态，不仅有简单的状态，也有各种复杂的状态，这些状态必须被摆脱掉，以至于不再出现，如前所述（719节）。在有些状态下，一个人可称得上相当完美，但在其它无数状态下则不然。那些活在肉身时就已经重生，过着对主之信和对邻之仁生活的人在来世不断被完善。

[NCE]894. The symbolism of in the beginning, on the first of the month, as a starting point is now evident.
Additional implications of these words are too deep to describe. The important thing is that the time it takes to regenerate is not fixed, in such a way that we can say, "Now I have finished." The states of evil and falsity that each of us has inside are beyond counting. They exist not only as individual states but also as multilayered composites and need to be dispelled to the point where they no longer appear, as already noted [719]. In some of our states we can be described as more perfect, but in countless others we cannot. In the other life, those who were reborn during bodily life and who lived lives of faith in the Lord and charity toward their neighbor are constantly being perfected.
Potts(1905-1910) 894
894. In the beginning, on the first of the month. That this signifies a first boundary [or new beginning], is now evident from what has been shown. What is further involved in these words is too deeply hidden to be described any further than that there is no definite period of time within which man's regeneration is completed, so that he can say, "I am now perfect;" for there are illimitable states of evil and falsity with every man, not only simple states but also states in many ways compounded, which must be so far shaken off as no longer to appear, as said above. In some states the man may be said to be more perfect, but in very many others not so. Those who have been regenerated in the life of the body and have lived in faith in the Lord and in charity toward the neighbor, are continually being perfected in the other life.
Elliott(1983-1999) 894
894. 'At the beginning, on the first of the month' means a starting point. This is now clear from what has been said above. Everything that this statement embodies is an arcanum so deep that it cannot be described, except for just the point that no definite period of time ever exists when anyone is regenerate enough to be able to say, 'Now I am perfect'. In fact an unlimited number of states of evil and falsity exist with everyone, not only simple states but also varied and complex ones which, as has been stated, have to be disposed of in such a way that they do not recur. In some states a person can be called fairly perfect, but in countless others he cannot. People who have been regenerated during their lifetime, and in whose lives faith in the Lord and charity towards the neighbour have been present, are in the next life being perfected all the time.
Latin(1748-1756) 894
894. 'In principio in primo mensis': quod significent terminum primum, inde nunc constat. Quae praeterea haec involvunt, sunt arcaniora quam ut ita describi possint, solum quod non determinatum sit tempus quo homo regeneratus est sic ut dicere queat quod 'Nunc perfectus sim'; sunt enim indefiniti status mali et falsi apud unumquemvis hominem, non solum status simplices sed etiam multifariam compositi, qui discutiendi sunt ita ut non appareant, ut dictam; in aliquibus statibus potest homo perfectior dici, sed in indefinitis aliis non ita; qui in vita corporis regenerati sunt, et qui in fide in Dominum inque charitate erga proximum vixerunt, in altera vita jugiter perficiuntur.
