昔我遺書使爾憂、雖曾悔之、今不悔矣、蓋知此書令爾憂者暫耳、

始遺書使爾憂、向亦悔之、而無庸悔也、誠以此書、憂爾者暫耳、

蓋前書雖曾使爾等憂戚、吾固無所悔也。雖然、吾亦忍痛而為之耳、豈欲見爾等有一日之憂戚乎？

Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it— I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—

Even if my letter made you sad, I’m not sorry I sent it. At first I was sorry. I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while.

For even if I made you grieve with my letter, I do not regret it— though I did regret it, for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while.

I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.

For even if I grieved you with my letter, I don’t regret it. And if I regretted it— since I saw that the letter grieved you, yet only for a while—

For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it— for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while—

For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.

For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret it( for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),

For even if I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it— even though I did regret it since I saw that the letter grieved you, yet only for a little while.

食間、耶穌曰、我誠告爾、爾中一人將賣我、門徒憂甚、一一問曰、主、是我乎、

主回顧彼得、彼得憶主所言云、鷄鳴之先、爾將三次言不識我、遂出而痛哭、○

惟天主慰卑微之人、以提多之來慰我、

生我身之父、懲我而我敬之、況賦畀我神之父、豈不更當服之以致得永生乎、生我身之父、暫時任意懲我、惟賦畀我神之父懲我、乃為我之益、使我成聖、可同於彼、凡懲責、受之時不為樂、乃為憂、後必為由懲責得練達者、結善義平康之果、

先知禱曰、主歟、主諄諄命我、我不得不從、主強於我而勝我、我終日為人所嬉笑、人皆侮慢我、我一出言、則為哀慘之詞、所宣告、俱論敵人強暴刼奪之事、我傳主言、終日被人羞辱藐視、如我言、莫若不復題主、不復藉主名而言、則我中心如焚、如火藏於我骨中、我自煩勞、欲忍不能、

我以此書達爾、免我至之時、當使我樂者、轉使我憂、蓋我深知爾眾以我之樂為己之樂、我哀痛迫切、流淚不勝、以書達爾、非欲使爾憂、乃欲使爾知我愛爾甚也、若有人使人憂、不但使我憂、亦畧使爾眾憂、我不欲深責之、斯人受責於眾已足矣、爾寧赦之、慰之、恐其因憂過甚、以至沈淪、故我勸爾向彼顯示仁愛、我因此以書達爾、欲試爾凡事順服否、爾所赦者、我亦赦之、我赦之者、乃在基督前、為爾而赦之、免撒但計勝我儕、蓋其詭謀、我儕無不知之矣、○

凡我所愛者、我必責之懲之、故當奮勉悔改、

惟因我以此言告爾、則爾心殷憂、

三次謂之曰、約拿子西門、爾愛我乎、彼得因耶穌三次問爾愛我乎、遂憂曰、主、無所不知、主知我愛爾、耶穌曰、食我羊、

摩西返於主前、禱曰、我主、何為使斯民受害、何為遣我、自我來見法老、奉主名以告之時、彼反暴虐斯民更甚、而主未嘗拯之也、

雖使人懷憂、必憑大仁慈、加以矜恤、

試觀爾遵天主之旨而憂、生何等之殷勤、自訴、忿懥、恐懼、思慕、熱心、譴責、以此一切、自表於此事為潔、
