在这些偶像面前，世界俯首膜拜。
All their thoughts, time, and talents are employed in their service.
他们所有的思想、时间和才能都用于服务于这些偶像。
No sacrifice is deemed too great to obtain possession of these vanities.

Alas! thousands,
who call themselves Christians,
who have been baptized in the name of Christ,
and who make a nominal profession of Christianity
—worship these idols which Satan has set up!
唉！成千上万的人，
自称为基督徒，
以基督的名义受洗，
并名义上宣称信仰基督教
——却崇拜着撒旦设立的这些偶像！
“Dear children, keep yourselves from idols!” 1 John 5:21
“亲爱的孩子们，要保守自己远离偶像！”约翰一书5:21
