且爾之使命正在此中。蓋基督亦曾為爾茹苦、垂爾楷式、俾爾踵效。

你们蒙召原是为此；因基督也为你们受过苦，给你们留下榜样，叫你们跟随他的脚踪行。

你们蒙召就是为此，因为基督也为你们受过苦，给你们留下榜样，为要使你们跟随他的脚踪。

爾之見召、因基督為爾受苦、遺法於爾、使踐其迹、

爾見召者為此、昔基督緣我受苦遺法與我、使繼其武、

爾曹見召、乃為此也、蓋基督亦為爾曹受苦、遺模於爾、使爾踐其跡以行、

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

For you have been called for this purpose, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps,

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps.

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

乃諭諸徒曰：『人欲從予、必須克己、負其十字架、而追隨予後。

予以身作則、望爾效之。

吾主曾為吾人舍生致命、天主之愛德、於此可見。然則吾人亦宜為兄弟舍生致命矣。

爾等宜以基督耶穌之心為心。

勸眾堅心、信道勿移、曰：『吾人欲入天主之國、必須經歷多難。』

力行愛德、亦如基督之愛爾也。彼竟為吾人之故、慨然以身獻於天主、作為祭祀牲牷、芳氣馥馥、有如馨香。

如此之人、亦即天主依其聖意而見召者也。蓋天主所預寵者、乃預簡之、俾克肖其聖子、欲使其聖子成為眾子中之冢息耳。

爾等曷亦法予、如予之法基督乎！

爾其承我之軛、效我之謙遜克己、則爾必得心曠神怡；

蓋基督亦曾為眾人之罪而死矣。彼以義者之身、而為諸不義者舍命、欲引吾人歸順天主耳。然彼之肉身雖被處死、而其神靈則生、

基督在肉體上既備受苦難、則爾等亦應毅然抱此宏願。蓋肉體受苦、則與罪絕緣、

夫唯雅瑋之降甘霖兮。吾土乃騰茂實。

不負其十字架、而追踵於我者、非吾徒也。

予以此語爾、俾爾因予而得平安。爾在人世、固有患難、惟勿因是而餒、予已克勝人世矣。』

夫天主乃萬物之所歸、萬物之所始也；既欲藉其聖子、以登其眾子於光榮之域、則其以憂戚苦難磨練眾子之救主、以玉之於成、不亦宜乎？

肩負吾人罪累於十字聖架之上。彼之為此、惟欲吾人死於罪而生於義、「以彼創傷、療我瘡痍」云耳。

勿可以惡報惡、以暴酬暴。要之、咒罵由人、祝福在我；庶幾無忝聖召、自求多福。

凡真心奉事基督耶穌、而實踐其道者、靡有不遭受危難迫辱。

『人來從予、而不甘舍其父母妻子昆弟姊妹、乃至其生命者、不得為吾徒。凡不負其十字架、以從予者、亦不得為吾徒。

吾儕承主耶穌之命、所授於爾之規箴、爾固知之。

基督不當先受苦難、而躋於光榮乎？』

吾且示之、彼為吾名、將如何備嘗艱苦。』

諸兄弟賴羔羊之血、毅然為聖道作證、舍命不渝、從容就死；故能克服頑敵、終獲致勝。

耶穌諭眾曰：『人欲從予、務宜克己、日負其十字架、而隨予後。蓋欲自保其生者、反將失之、惟為予之故、而舍其生者、克保其生。人即富有天下、而喪亡其真我、亦有何益？

庶幾造次顛沛無所動心。蓋知受苦受難、實為吾人分內之事。

更謂眾及門徒曰：『人欲從予、必先舍己、負其十字架而隨我後。欲救其生者、將喪其生；為予及福音而舍其生者、終必獲生。

以徵基督當先蒙害、後當復活；又曰：『所傳耶穌、即基督也。』

其受命誠在無始之始、其顯現則在茲末世。
