箴言8:22-24
8:22 我是耶和華造的。我是他最初的作為，是他在遠古最早的成就。
“Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the
earliest of his achievements of long ago.

8:23 千秋萬世以前，起初未有大地以先，我就被立。
From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times
earlier than the earth.

8:24 未有深淵，未有溢水的泉源，我就在陣痛中出世。
When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor
pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water.

8:25 我們用的聖經(合和本)/King James Version
在耶和華造化的起頭，在太初創造萬物之先，就有了我。
The LORD possessedH7069 me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

8:26 從亙古，從太初，未有世界以前，我已被立。
I was set upH5258 from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

8:27 沒有深淵，沒有大水的泉源，我已生出。
When there were no depths, I was brought forth;H2342 when there were
no fountains abounding with water.

這段經文的重點是在萬有被創造以先，聖子邏輯上已經在那裡了。主要是說時間上的超越。不是在說聖子是如何來的。“我就在陣痛中出世。”純屬無中生有。
原文中的動詞possessedH7069有to nest的意思，但原文並無“陣痛labor pains”
的描述，耶證的翻譯文學色彩還是比較濃的。耶證把聖父生聖子理解成人的生育
過程，不知道是誰在陣痛？是聖母嗎？另外，他們大概忘了產難之痛是夏娃犯罪
所受的咒詛(創3:16)。

結論: 父神在創世以前就(擁)有了聖子，這句話的重點是聖子在時間空間上的超
越性，不是在描述上帝的生殖過程。這段經文也推不出“聖父造聖子” 或“聖子
是受造物”。
