而吾儕之尤所欣慰者、乃提多以其所得於爾處之安慰、轉以相慰也。彼且縷述爾等之如何懸懸於我、休戚相關、肝膽相照、此吾之所以愈感興奮者也。

蓋前書所云、亦不過欲借此測驗爾等之服從否耳。

昔曾承主恩。綽綽有餘裕。何曾將吾身。委為敵人俎。今日復罹難。求主申舊恩。鬱悒腸欲斷。憂苦目已昏。愁煎生意枯。悲嘆歲月新。精力日以衰。罪多氣消沈。

此點吾在前書中亦曾提及、以免吾來之時、應使我歡欣鼓舞者、反貽我以憂戚耳。且吾固深信爾等莫不以吾之樂為樂也。吾作前書時、淚眼洗面、心中不知有多少憂慮苦悶、非欲使爾等憂戚、乃欲使爾等知我之如何赤忱相愛耳。

愛友乎、予早擬致書於爾、申論吾人所共承之救恩；今則更覺不容或緩、特馳書慰勉、極望爾等能不遺餘力、擁護當初所授於諸聖之信條。蓋此信條、一成不變；

蓋正當之憂戚、令人悔改、而蒙救恩；亦何悔之有？惟世俗之憂戚、乃致死耳。曷一思之、爾等既循聖道而憂戚、其效果為何如耶？爾等因憂戚而儆惕、而反省、而發憤、而小心翼翼、而發揚蹈厲、而至誠無妄、而疾惡如讎矣。爾之處此事、實無在而不自證其為貞固也。

方憶耶穌「雞猶未鳴、行見爾不認予者三」之言。伯鐸祿乃悄然而出、不禁涕淚滂沱。

爾等於吾儕已略有所體會、然猶望能洞澈無疑、而知於吾主耶穌之日、吾儕將為爾等之榮、亦如爾等將為吾儕之榮也。

哀悼痛哭乃真福、斯人終當承溫燠。

多謝天主、使提多對爾等關懷至切、

時耶穌憂鬱至極、祈禱彌切、汗如血珠、滴滴入地、

爾等如能確乎不拔、抱主以終、則吾儕之生機煥發矣。

既至、睹天主恩寵、為之欣然、勸眾堅志、依主不回。

吾願爾等皆真心懺悔、痛哭流涕、轉笑為泣、轉喜為憂；在天主明鑒之下、小心翼翼、謙卑自牧、則天主必予爾等以升擢矣。

實則爾我俱能以信德互相鼓勵、彼此均霑其益也。

亦所以償吾心期、終不致有所愧忝。因是平生勇氣、至今未衰。必欲獻吾之身、以弘基督。生可也、死亦可也。

蒙主煦育。可不頌美。勗哉諸聖。讚主莫已。

是故吾人呻吟不輟、渴望得庇於天上之安宅、有如衣之蔽體；

戰戰如履薄。兢兢如臨深。

錫彼收穫樂。償彼耕耘淚。去時皆嗚咽。含淚播種子。來時應怡怡。帶笑刈嘉穗。

今蒂茂德自爾處歸來、盛道爾等之信德與愛德、且謂爾等恆以吾儕為懷、渴欲與吾儕相見、正如吾儕之渴望與爾等相見也。

寧受賢人責。苦口是良藥。莫受惡人諛。蜜中含辛螫。任憑彼作惡。吾禱終不輟。

昔伊理藹虔祈勿雨、而其地不見雨者、三年六月；

因此、吾人允宜以非常之毅力、恪守所聞、始終不渝。

應知吾身雖遐、吾神實邇、見爾等之循規蹈矩、實事求是、信仰基督、確乎不拔、而感無限之欣慰焉。
