於此為死之臭以致死、於彼為生之臭以致生、誰堪任此乎、

在这等人，就作了死的香气叫他死；在那等人，就作了活的香气叫他活。这事谁能当得起呢？

对灭亡的人，这是死而又死的气味；对得救的人，这是生而又生的气味。这些事谁能当得起呢？

对灭亡的人，这是死而又死的气味；对得救的人，这是生而又生的气味。这些事谁能当得起呢？

对灭亡的人而言，这香气是叫人死亡的香气；对得救的人来说，这香气却是叫人得生命的香气。谁能担当这样的重任呢？

对于灭亡的人，这是死亡的气味叫人死；对于得救的人，这却是生命的香气使人活。这些事谁够资格作呢？

对灭亡的人，我们是死亡的香气以至于死亡；对得救的人，我们是生命的香气以至于生命。对这些事，到底谁配得上呢？

在這等人，就作了死的香氣叫他死；在那等人，就作了活的香氣叫他活。這事誰能當得起呢？

對於滅亡的人，這是死亡的氣味叫人死；對於得救的人，這卻是生命的香氣使人活。這些事誰夠資格作呢？

對後一種人呢、就做徹頭徹尾死之氣味，對前一種人呢、就做徹頭徹尾活之氣味。要作這些事、誰能夠呢？

對滅亡的人，我們是死亡的香氣以至於死亡；對得救的人，我們是生命的香氣以至於生命。對這些事，到底誰配得上呢？

於此為由死致死之臭味、於彼為由生致生之臭味、孰堪任此乎、

沉淪者臭此、則為死之臭、致死、得救者臭此、則為生之香、致生、誰堪任此乎、

惟於後者實為肅殺之陰氣、而於前者則為令人永生之淑氣耳。嗚呼、誰堪負此重任乎？

西緬祝之、謂耶穌之母瑪利亞曰、此子被立、為使以色列多人、或傾仆、或興起、亦為異跡、被人誹謗、

耶穌曰、我為審判臨世、使不見者得見、見者反瞽、

非謂我儕恃己能由己而思何事、我之能由天主也、天主使我能為新約之役、非循儀文、乃循聖神、蓋儀文致死、聖神致生、

故彼於爾信者則為寶、於不信者、則工師所棄、已成為屋隅之首石、亦為蹶人之石、礙人之磐、彼不信道者因之蹶焉、彼等亦為此預定也、

故我今日、向爾明證、爾曹有人沈淪、罪不在我、原文作爾眾之血於我無與蓋天主之旨、我悉以告爾、一無所隱、

然我今日得為何如人、乃由天主之恩也、其恩非徒然賜我、我勤勞過諸使徒、此非我所能、天主之恩助我也、

我自誇而為狂、乃爾使我不得已、蓋爾原當稱譽我、我雖如無有、凡事不亞於至大之使徒、

猶太人見眾至、滿心嫉妒、駁保羅所言、且駁且謗、保羅巴拿巴毅然曰、天主之道、當先傳於爾、而爾棄之、自以為不堪得永生、故我儕轉向異邦人、因主如是命我儕、經載天主語基督云、我立爾為異邦人之光、使爾施救至於地極、
