For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.

By doing good you will put a stop to the talk of foolish people. They don’t know what they are saying.

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you.

For it is God’s will that you silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.

爾等與異邦人雜處、尤宜慎自檢點、勉立善表、務使謗爾者見爾善行、而頌揚天主於眷顧之日。

講道時、更宜正心誠意、態度莊重、言語純潔、無可指摘、如此則反對之人、將以吾人無懈可擊、而自慚矣。

倘天主之意、欲使爾因行善而受苦、不猶愈於因作惡而受苦乎？

蓋天主之意旨無他、欲爾成聖而已。是宜戒絕一切邪淫、

任處何境、皆應感恩此乃天主所望於爾等基督信徒者。

聞而不行、則猶無知者建屋於沙礫之上、

不復徇人欲、惟循天主聖意、以度餘生。

而此輩則不然；凡彼所不知之事、未悟之理、則大加慢罵、肆無忌憚；而彼所知者、惟五官之事、沉溺其中、至死不悟、其亦何異於禽獸乎。

若輩宵小之徒、竟敢大放厥辭、肆其謗毀。若而人者、實同不具理性之畜類、專為被宰而生者；對於己所不知之事、信口訕謗、害人適以自害、

戰戰兢兢、表裡如一、毋陽奉陰違、貌合神離、專以取悅於人為務；當如基督之奴僕、一本赤誠、奉行天主之旨、中心悅服、非以為人、乃以為主。

賢者覩此。相顧怡悅。不肖覩此。相顧結舌。

夫既知有天主矣乃又不以天主事之、而頌詠稱謝焉；復因鑿空蹈虛、流連忘返、以致其冥頑之心、淪於重昏。

我本為褻瀆天主、摧殘教會、倨傲無禮之人、而竟蒙天主之矜憐者、蓋以我當時未有信德、盲目而行耳。

其中愚者五人、智者亦五人。

噫、昏昧無知之加拉太人乎！曩者曾將十字架上之耶穌基督、昭然呈爾目前；今復受誰氏之蠱惑、以至於此耶？

蓋吾人從前亦昏昧悖逆、徬徨岐途、縱情恣慾、險狠媢嫉；己實可惡、而轉以惡人。

無妄惟眞宰。懷仁以為寶。
