曩於諸長老行覆手禮時、汝藉豫言而承受之恩寵、尚在汝之心中；

蒂茂德乎、所授於汝之託付、汝其謹守勿失。凡支離忘本之空談、似是而非之詭辯、皆汝所應深惡而痛絕也。

予在天主及黜陟幽明者、基督耶穌明鑒之下、且以基督之重臨及乘權為質、剴切命汝、努力傳道、處順毋弛、處逆毋餒。務須一秉堅忍不拔之耐德、及真實無妄之教理、以規人之過、懲人之惡、而勗人之善也。蓋時有必至、將見正道不容於世矣。滔滔者將徇其私意、好新務異各師其師；

是故望吾兒賴耶穌基督之恩寵、再接再勵、自強不息。予在眾證人前所傳授於爾之事、爾亦當傳授於忠實之信徒、令彼亦得轉以傳人。更望與我同勞、庶不愧為基督耶穌之雄兵。夫從軍者、欲得其長官之獎許、必專心一志、不以雜務自累。競賽者欲奪得錦標、亦必嚴守紀律、弗違規章。

蒂茂德則一片丹忱無懈可擊。彼之事予如父、亦步亦趨、共贊福音之傳揚、爾等所知也。

致書於其同道之神子、蒂茂德曰：伏願天主聖父、及吾主基督耶穌、降汝聖寵、加汝慈惠、鍚汝平安、是所至頌。

蓋吾人之對敵、非區區血氣之屬、乃諸品惡神、黑暗世界之權威領袖以及充塞雲霄之眾魔也。因是之故、惟執有天主之全副武器、足以自全於危難之日、且於勝利之後、尚能屹立不搖、而遊刃有餘也。是以望爾等立定腳跟、以真理束腰、以正義護胸、以敏捷為履、載欣載奔、以傳平和之嘉音。尤須常執信德之盾、以禦元兇之火箭；亦宜戴望德之盔、佩聖神之劍、所謂聖神之劍者、即天主所發之言也。當憑聖神之靈感祈禱不輟儆醒不倦、且為諸聖籲告、

振作精神、為道奮鬥、把握永生、無忝汝之聖召、無負汝曩日當眾發表之弘願。我在涵育萬物之天主前、復在作證於般雀‧比拉多治下之基督耶穌前、剴切諭汝、遵守誡命、務求心跡雙清、無懈可擊、以待主耶穌基督之來臨。

致書於我愛子蒂茂德曰：伏願恩寵、慈愍、平安、降自天主聖父、及吾主耶穌基督、加於汝身。

以及其他違悖正道者而設也。正道者何、即全德天主光榮之福音是已；而予則受斯重寄焉。竊思基督耶穌以吾為忠實之徒、令供斯役、且予我以扶植、賜我以神力；此恩此德、昊天罔極。

予之奮鬥、不為徒勞；予之行程、已告完成；予亦何幸而得篤守信德、舍命不渝。

但欲憑此、而為吾兒阿乃西謨、向爾懇求阿乃西謨者、乃予縲絏中所生之愛兒也。

茲致書於同一信仰之愛子提多曰：願天主聖父、及吾儕救主耶穌基督、降爾聖寵、錫爾平安。

蓋天主所造皆善、固無有一物可以暴棄也。惟受之者當飲水思源耳。

蓋吾人雖生於形體之中、然非從事於形體上之戰爭；因吾人作戰之武器、非屬形而下者、顧賴主之力其效能則足以掃蕩一切險固之壁壘。
