非第因其至、亦因其所受於爾之慰慰我、即以爾之戀慕憂傷、及為我熱衷告我、令我益喜、

以此而事基督者、為上帝所悅、世人所稱、

宜殷勤獻己於上帝、蒙其嘉納、為無愧之傭、善佈真道、

曰、然、彼以不信見折、爾以信得存、志勿高、惟懼耳、

以寅畏奉事耶和華、喜樂而戰兢兮、

若人受罰於眾、已足矣、

我於上帝與基督耶穌、及蒙選之天使前、諭爾守此、勿執成見、勿行偏僻、勿遽按手於人、勿與人罪、惟潔是務、

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、

爾若籲不以貌視人、依行而鞫之父、則旅居斯世、自當儆惕、

蓋我知爾之願、誇於馬其頓人、言亞該亞人備已經年、且爾之熱衷、鼓舞多人、

常存敬畏者乃有福、剛愎厥心者必遘禍、

主歟、我之願欲、悉陳於爾、我之欷歔、無隱於爾、

王聞此言、憂甚、決志救但以理、苦籌至於日沒、

耶和華歟、我於爾行鞫之道企望爾、我心慕爾名與爾誌、

大衛甚怒其人、謂拿單曰、我指維生之耶和華以誓、行此者宜死、必償其羔四倍、緣彼行此事、無憐憫也、○拿單謂大衛曰、爾即其人也、以色列之上帝耶和華云、我膏爾為以色列王、援爾於掃羅手、

毋與無實之暗行、寧責之、

為爾室之熱衷灼我、斥爾者之詬詈歸我兮、

儻爾一手陷爾、則斫之、寧殘而入於生、勝有二手入地獄不滅之火、儻爾一足陷爾、則斫之、寧跛而入於生、勝有二足投於地獄不滅之火、儻爾一目陷爾、則去之、寧一目而進上帝國、勝有二目投於地獄、在彼蟲不死、火不滅、

且必注恩賜、賦懇求之心於大衛家、及耶路撒冷居民、俾仰望我、即彼所刺者、為之哀哭、若喪獨子、為之慘怛、若喪長子、是日耶路撒冷大有悲哀、如在米吉多平原哈達臨門之悲哀、斯土各家、必有悲哀、大衛家男女異室而居、拿單家男女異室而居、利未家男女異室而居、示每家男女異室而居、其餘之家、男女異室而居、

耶穌怒而環視之、憂其心頑也、語手枯者曰、伸爾手、伸之、即愈、

有當奪於火而救之者、亦有當以儆懼而恤之者、即其衣為形軀所污、爾亦惡之、○

智者恐懼而遠惡、蠢者驕矜以自恃、

女曰請爾懷我於心如印、置我於臂如章、愛情強若死亡、妒忌酷如陰府、所發若火、其焰甚烈、

凡我所愛者、我責而懲之、故宜奮然改悔、

故我自憾、在於灰塵、而自悔焉、○

其徒憶經所載云、為爾室焦灼、幾滅沒我矣、

宜如甫生之嬰、戀純而合宜之乳、使爾由之漸長、以至蒙救、

我聞以法蓮為己悲歎曰、爾責我、而我受責、我若未習負軛之犢、求爾轉我、我則轉焉、蓋爾乃我之上帝耶和華也、我既被轉、後則悛改、我受教而拊髀、緣負幼時之辱、含羞抱愧、以法蓮為我之愛子乎、為可悅之子乎、我每言及、則深念之、心為之動、我必矜恤之、耶和華言之矣、○

愛友乎、爾素承順、不惟於我同在時、即今暌違、益宜畏懼戰慄、以成爾之濟救、

追既及、如言以告、曰、吾主、何出此言、斯事僕斷不為、

我心待主、切於守夜者之待旦、誠切於守夜者之待旦兮、

寅畏之者、必成其願、聽其呼籲、而救之兮、

若我、於彼病時、衣麻禁食、刻苦己心、然我所祈、返於我衷兮、

我聞民之號呼、及其所言、則怒甚、中心籌畫、責顯者及民長曰、爾於同宗索利、我遂集大會以攻之、謂之曰、我同宗猶大人鬻於異邦、我儕盡力贖之、爾曹乃鬻同宗、且鬻於我儕耶、彼眾默然、無詞以對、我又曰、爾曹所為不善、爾之行事、不當寅畏我之上帝、免我敵諸國之謗乎、我與同宗及僕、亦以金穀貸民、求爾與我、免其利息、今請以其田疇、葡萄園、橄欖園、及第宅、並所取金穀酒油百一之利、悉反之、眾曰、我必反之、不取於彼、咸遵爾言、我遂召祭司至、使眾發誓、踐其所許、我則振衣曰、凡不踐其言者、願上帝如是振之、俾離家室、及其職業、使之匱乏、會眾曰、阿們、遂頌讚耶和華、民依所許而行、

俾身無間、而百體相關焉、

我上帝歟、我心慕爾、如麀之慕溪水兮、

慎之哉、恐有失上帝恩者、恐有苦根發萌以擾爾、致眾玷污、恐有淫亂者、或輕侮如以掃者、為一餔啜、而鬻長子之分、

設也右目陷爾於罪、則抉而棄之、寧喪百體之一、勿全身委地獄、設也右手陷爾於罪、則斷而棄之、寧喪百體之一、勿全身入地獄、

爾猶自矜、而不哀傷、使行此者見擯於爾中、

又曰、凡此、皆由我手所造而有、惟謙冲心傷、緣我言而戰慄者、我必顧之、

我則斥之、詛之、撻其數人、拔其髮、使指上帝而誓、必不以己女嫁其子、不娶其女為妻為媳、

保羅在雅典待之、見其邑偶像充斥、中心憤激、

會外者上帝擬之、爾中之惡者、爾其擯之、

愛友乎、我儕既有此諸許、當潔己、盡去身心之污、畏上帝而成聖、○

惟諸事自薦為上帝役、有若恆忍、患難、空乏、阨窮、

我之熱衷鑠我、緣我敵忘爾言兮、

我求上帝、俾爾所行無惡、非欲顯我見納、惟欲爾為善、雖視我如見棄者亦可、

既有入其安息之許、故宜戒懼、免爾或有不及之者、

怒勿干罪、勿銜怒至日落、

今我喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生改悔、蓋爾憂乃依上帝旨、致爾無所受損於我儕、
