吾書遺爾、非因虧人與受虧者、直欲明我慕爾在上帝前、

愛人之心、藏諸衷曲、不如責人以善、直言無隱。仇讎雖與我接吻、亦知其偽、友朋雖出言傷予、益見其直。

耶利米曰、耶和華既言、宜傾耳以聽、毋驕乃志。爾之上帝耶和華、宜虔共寅畏、否則使爾幽暗、顛躓於晦冥之岡、爾所望之光、變為陰翳昏黑。如爾志傲不聽、我於暗室、為爾傷心、見耶和華群民被虜、我目潸然出涕。

緣益爾曹、余歡然費財盡已、然我愈愛爾、愈失爾愛、

始遺書使爾憂、向亦悔之、而無庸悔也、誠以此書、憂爾者暫耳、今吾喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生悔改、蓋爾憂、遵上帝道而憂、明我不虧爾、

我言之屢矣、今為涕泣而道、多有行事與基督十字架之道相敵者、

既近、見城、哭、曰、今猶為爾日、及是時、而知關爾平安之事、則幸、過此、隱於爾目矣、日至、敵必築壘環繞、四面困爾、夷爾及赤子、不遺石於石上、以爾不知眷顧之日也、○

我念上帝、熱中戀慕爾、我已聘爾、如貞女獻一夫、即基督、

我有大憂、痛心不已、倘吾能救兄弟骨肉之親、即絕基督、亦所願也、

人不守爾律例、我澘然下淚、若溪水之流兮。○

勿憎同儔、責人以善、勿使陷罪。勿報仇、勿蓄怨、愛人如己。
