於異邦宜正爾行、使素謗爾為惡者見之、則榮上帝於眷顧之日、

我知爾諸行、與愛、與信、役事、忍耐、且爾後之所為、較勝於前、

約帕有女徒、大比大者、譯即多加、廣行善事、及施濟、

諸物既將如是消滅、則爾之為人、當如何清潔虔敬哉、

誠哉是言、我欲爾於斯事力言之、使信上帝者慎務善工、斯為美、有益於人也、

以其操作之果效歸之、願其工作於邑門榮之、

於智益節、於節益忍、於忍益虔、於虔益友愛、於友愛益仁慈、爾有此而擴充之、則必使爾於識我主耶穌基督、不怠不荒、

爾之飾、毋在外、如辮髮、佩金、衣美衣、乃在溫柔恬靜之性、隱之於心、不可壞者、此在上帝前為至寶、古昔聖女、上帝是望、亦以是自飾、服於其夫、

彼為我儕捐己、贖我出諸不法、且潔其民以為己業、乃熱衷於善行者也、

惟縱恣者雖生猶死也、爾以此命之、使無可責、人不為戚族謀、甚而不為其家人、乃背乎道、較不信者尤惡也、嫠而登籍者、必年六十、素為一夫之婦、有為善之稱、曾育子女、館遠人、濯聖徒足、濟苦難、務善工、
