Barlaam and Ioasaph

But when the only-begotten Son of God, which is in the bosom of the Father, being grieved to see his own handiwork in bondage unto sin, was moved with compassion for the same, and shewed himself amongst us without sin, and, without leaving his Father's throne, dwelt for a season in the Virgin's womb for our sakes, that we might dwell in heaven, and be re-claimed from the ancient fall, and freed from sin by receiving again the adoption of sons;

但当唯一的独生子，即在父怀中的神，看到他亲手创造的万物被罪恶束缚而感到悲痛时，他出于怜悯，便在我们中间显现，无罪地居住在童贞女的子宫中，为了我们能住在天堂，从古老的堕落中被拯救，并通过重新获得作为儿子的接纳而从罪恶中解脱；

The Lord working with him and confirming the word with signs following, the darkness of superstition was banished; and men were delivered from idolatrous sacrifices and abominations, and added to the true Faith, and being thus transformed by the hands of the Apostle, were made members of Christ's household by Baptism, and, waxing ever with fresh increase, made advancement in the blameless Faith and built churches in all their lands.

主与他同工，并用随后的迹象证实了话语，迷信的黑暗被驱散；人们从偶像崇拜的牺牲和可憎的事物中得到解救，并被加入到真正的信仰中，通过使徒的手得到转变，通过洗礼成为基督家庭的成员，并在无瑕的信仰中不断增长，他们在所有土地上建立了教堂。
