187、只有那些正在重生的人才会经历属灵的试探。因为属灵的试探是那些处于良善和真理的人所经历的精神上的极度痛苦，这些痛苦是由恶灵带来的。当这些灵人挑起这些人里面的邪恶时，一种属于试探的焦虑就会产生。人不知道它来自何处，因为他不知道它的起源。
187、只有正被重生的那些人才经受属灵试探。因为属灵试探是那些有良善和真理的人被邪灵试探而生的心灵之痛。当那些灵人对他们的邪恶感到兴奋时，会产生试探的焦虑。人不知道这种焦虑从何而来，因为他不知道这个“起源”。
187. Crises of the Spirit
Only people who are being regenerated experience spiritual crises, because spiritual crises are times of mental anguish for people whose lives are devoted to goodness and truth. These crises are brought about by evil spirits. When they stir up the evils in us, an anxiety wells up inside that is a symptom of our spiritual crisis. We are not aware, however, of where the anxiety is coming from because we do not realize that a spiritual crisis is its source.
187. Chapter 14. Inner Struggles
We go through spiritual struggles only if we are being reborn. Spiritual struggle is psychological distress brought on by harmful spirits when we do good things and have true ideas. We experience the anguish of inner struggle when these harmful spirits stir up the bad traits in us. Since we do not realize this is the source of these struggles, we have no idea where they come from.
187. XIV. ON TEMPTATION
It is only those who are being regenerated who undergo spiritual temptations. For spiritual temptations are periods of mental distress experienced by those in states of good and truth, which are brought on by evil spirits. When these arouse the evils in them a state of anxiety arises due to being tempted. A person is not aware where it comes from because he does not know of this origin for it.
187. TEMPTATION.
Those only who are being regenerated undergo spiritual temptations; for spiritual temptations are pains of mind induced by evil spirits with those who are in goods and truths. When these spirits excite the evils which are with such persons, there arises that feeling of distress, which belongs to temptation. Not knowing this origin, the man does not know whence that distress comes.
187. XIV. TEMPTATION.
Those only who are being regenerated, undergo spiritual temptations; for spiritual temptations are pains of mind induced by evil spirits, with those who are in goods and truths. While those spirits excite the evils which are with them, there arises the anxiety of temptation. Man does not know whence this anxiety comes, because he does not know his 1origin.

187. (XIV.) DE TENTATIONE.
Solum qui regenerantur tentationes spirituales subeunt; nam tentationes spirituales sunt dolores mentis apud illos qui in bonis et veris sunt, inductae a spiritibus malis; hi dum excitant mala quae apud illos, oritur anxietas quae tentationis: homo nescit unde venit, quia nescit hanc originem.
