百物如將消滅、爾曹宜如何行善虔敬、

这一切既然都要如此销化，你们为人该当怎样圣洁，怎样敬虔，

既然这一切都要如此消失，你们处世为人必须圣洁敬虔，

既然这一切都要如此消失，你们处世为人必须圣洁敬虔，

一切都要这样被焚毁，你们在热切等候上帝来临的日子期间，该怎样过圣洁、敬虔的生活啊！因为到那日，天要被火焚毁，有形有质的都要被烈火熔化烧尽。

这一切既然都要这样融化，你们应当怎样为人，过着圣洁和敬虔的生活，

既然这一切都要如此被废除，那么，你们应该做什么样的人呢？应该行为圣洁、敬畏神，

這一切既然都要如此銷化，你們為人該當怎樣聖潔，怎樣敬虔，

既然這一切都要如此消失，你們處世為人必須聖潔敬虔，

既然這一切都要如此消失，你們處世為人必須聖潔敬虔，

一切都要這樣被焚毀，你們在熱切等候上帝來臨的日子期間，該怎樣過聖潔、敬虔的生活啊！因為到那日，天要被火焚毀，有形有質的都要被烈火熔化燒盡。

這一切既然都要這樣融化，你們應當怎樣為人，過著聖潔和敬虔的生活，

這一切既都要這樣消毁，你們就該做甚麼樣的人，該怎樣以聖別的品行和虔敬

既然這一切都要如此被廢除，那麼，你們應該做什麼樣的人呢？應該行為聖潔、敬畏神，

諸物既將如是消滅、則爾之為人、當如何清潔虔敬哉、

萬物既將消滅、則爾之舉動、當如何聖潔、當如何虔敬、

既知天地萬物終歸消滅、則爾等應如何孳孳為善、

Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives

So everything will be destroyed in this way. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.

Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live,

Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness,

Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, it is clear what sort of people you should be in holy conduct and godliness

[ Seeing] then[ that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner[ of persons] ought ye to be in[ all] holy conversation and godliness,

Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness,

Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

召爾者乃聖、爾所行亦當若是、

佇望仰慕上帝顯日、其顯則天爇而崩、有形色者焚而燬、

惟爾事上帝之人、在所必戒、而從義、虔、信、仁、柔、忍、

爾在異邦、當善所為、異邦人素謗爾為惡、今察爾善行、迄上帝眷顧彼之日、彼自讚美上帝、

然爾行事、必宜於基督福音、則我或晤對、或暌違、聞爾一心堅立、合意恊力為福音之道、

凡頌美予者、彰我之榮、謹飭之士、予必救之兮。

爾非利士民、已喪厥膽、大聲號哭、蓋敵自北方、叢集而至、若烟燄四塞、皆爭先恐後、

斯土喪敗、民人離散、惟余為國之棟兮、

穹蒼若軸、舒而復卷、天象錯亂、星辰隕落、若葡萄之葉已凋、若無花果樹之葉已墮、

爾中若有睿智特識、則必以溫柔智慧、彰其善行、

敬主之道、至大至妙、無不以為然、上帝假人身而顯著、稱義於聖神、見於天使、聞於異邦、信於天下、而躋光明之域、

勿以爾之年幼、為人輕視、乃以言行仁愛、情性、忠信、廉潔、為信主者之模楷、

過此以往、其形容若何、遂忘之矣、

有人傳異教、背吾主耶穌基督正理棄敬虔之至道、

吾傳福音、不第以言、乃以聖神之能、使爾篤信、爾亦知我如何為爾勞、

上帝以榮德召我、我知之、上帝以大力錫我、敬虔永生之道、

惟我國在天、望救主耶穌基督由天而降、

斯土搖撼震裂、若醉者跬步不能自主、如搖床蹁躚不定、蓋斯民之罪甚重、故遭傾覆、不能復起。

眾奇曰、彼何人斯、風與海亦順之他、○

然敬虔知足、則利莫大焉、

有智宜有節、有節宜有忍、有忍宜有虔、

務絕貪婪、以己所有為足、上帝曰、吾不須臾遐棄爾、

惡者拔刃張弓、欲害貧乏、欲戮善良、

我非恃人智、恃上帝恩、以上帝所賦之丹心誠意、往來於世、在爾間為尤甚、此我所喜、心所證也、
