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。

吾為爾等靈魂之故、固不惜任何之犧牲、即犧牲本身、亦所甘心。豈吾之愛爾愈厚、而爾之愛我愈薄耶？

不寧惟是、苟能有補於爾等之信德、即須傾流吾血、以作獻祭之酒、亦所甘心；且將因爾等之樂而樂焉。

吾渴欲與爾相見、增爾神恩、用堅爾心。實則爾我俱能以信德互相鼓勵、彼此均霑其益也。

爾等之導師、責任綦重、朝乾夕惕、守望爾等靈心、俾來日有以復命；爾等自應順從其教訓、拳拳服膺、庶幾彼等於勞苦之中、獲得欣慰；切莫重貽其憂、於爾等亦不利也。

嗟爾小子、吾今重為爾曹受分娩之痛苦矣。非至基督成形於爾心中、吾之劬勞、寧有已時。

爾之同鄉、基督之僕、伊伯弗拉、亦祝爾平安。此君在祈禱中、恆為爾等祈求、使爾等在天主聖意之中、確立不移、廓然無疑、俾成完人。

為基督耶穌而被縲絏者葆樂、偕弟蒂茂德、致書於我親愛之同勞費立孟、

嗚呼、格林多人乎、吾人之口、為爾等而暢開矣；心花亦為爾等而怒放矣。吾之愛爾、不為不厚；奈何爾之胸襟、不能自寬乃爾耶？吾之於爾、猶親之於子；爾曷亦拓心開懷以報我之愛爾乎！

然吾儕以參贊化育之身、亦有所懇求、深望爾等莫辜負天主之恩寵。

從伊伯弗拉之教、確已領會天主之洪恩。伊伯弗拉、我親愛之同寅、而基督之忠僕也。

因是予仰體基督耶穌之慈心、切慕爾眾、有如飢渴；耿耿此心、主實鑒之。

兄弟乎、義塞人之得救、實為吾私心之所願望而馨香禱祝者也。

與予同心懷爾者、莫如此君；

吾知屆時、必得滿載基督恩寵而來也。

吾與基督相契、所言真實無誑且吾之良心、感於聖神、亦為吾作證；蓋吾有大憂、中心恆覺惄焉如擣。倘能救我兄弟骨肉之親、則吾本人雖見絕於基督、亦所願也！

是故我之歡心、我之榮冠、我所愛慕欣羨之兄弟乎！吾望爾等於主道中立定腳跟、確乎不拔也。

吾人之所宣揚者、基督也；所以勸人教人、啟人智慧者、亦基督也。務使人人托基督而成完人、俾得獻之於天主之前、

伊巴弗提2:25「伊巴弗提」見宗徒大事錄第二十章第四節。致伊法所人書第六章第二十一節及致歌羅森人書第四章第七節。與予同勞共伍、予甚愛之、且原為爾之所遣、以慰我之勞者、故特率先派其就爾。蓋渠懷爾甚切曩者因爾等聞其嬰疾、

有百夫長寵僕病危、

第吾每經一城、聖神予我默示、謂我在耶路撒冷當受縲絏、患難重重；然吾於生命置之度外、無所顧惜。但望能完成吾之行程、及所受於主耶穌之使命、以證天主恩寵之福音而已。
