眾聞是語、悉皆默契而歸榮天主、曰：『由是觀之、天主普賜洪恩於異族、使由悔改而獲生命矣。』

众人听见这话，就不言语了，只归荣耀与神，说：“这样看来，神也赐恩给外邦人，叫他们悔改得生命了。”

众人听见这些话，就不说话了，只归荣耀给上帝，说：“这样看来，上帝也赐恩给外邦人，使他们悔改得生命了。”

众人听见这些话，就不说话了，只归荣耀给神，说：“这样看来，神也赐恩给外邦人，使他们悔改得生命了。”

大家听了便安静下来，转而归荣耀给上帝，说：“如此看来，上帝把悔改得永生的机会也赐给了外族人。”

众人听见这些话，就默然无声，把荣耀归给神，说：“这样看来，神也把悔改的心赐给外族人，使他们得生命。”

他们听了这些话就安静下来，然后就荣耀神，说：“这样，神把悔改的心也赐给外邦人，使他们得生命。”

眾人聽見這話，就不言語了，只歸榮耀與神，說：「這樣看來，神也賜恩給外邦人，叫他們悔改得生命了。」

眾人聽見這些話，就不說話了，只歸榮耀給上帝，說：「這樣看來，上帝也賜恩給外邦人，使他們悔改得生命了。」

眾人聽見這些話，就不說話了，只歸榮耀給神，說：「這樣看來，神也賜恩給外邦人，使他們悔改得生命了。」

大家聽了便安靜下來，轉而歸榮耀給上帝，說：「如此看來，上帝把悔改得永生的機會也賜給了外族人。」

眾人聽見這些話，就默然無聲，把榮耀歸給神，說：“這樣看來，神也把悔改的心賜給外族人，使他們得生命。”

眾人聽了這些話，都靜默不言，只將榮耀歸與上帝說：『這樣看來，上帝把悔改以得生命的恩也給了外國人了。』

他們聽了這些話就安靜下來，然後就榮耀神，說：「這樣，神把悔改的心也賜給外邦人，使他們得生命。」

眾聞之默然、歸榮上帝、曰、上帝亦賜異邦人改悔、而得生矣、○

眾聞此、無辭以對、歸榮上帝、曰、是上帝亦賜異邦人悔改、俾得生命矣、○

眾聞此、無辭以對、乃頌天主曰、然則天主亦賜異邦人悔改以得生命、○

When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying,“ So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

When they heard this, they didn’t object anymore. They praised God. They said,“ So then, God has allowed even Gentiles to turn away from their sins. He did this so that they could live.”

When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying,“ Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

When the others heard this, they stopped objecting and began praising God. They said,“ We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life.”

When they heard this they became silent. And they glorified God, saying,“ So then, God has given repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles.”

When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying,“ Well then, God has also granted to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.”

When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying,“ Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”

And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.

When they heard this they became silent. Then they glorified God, saying,“ So God has granted repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles!”

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

When they heard this, they ceased their objections and praised God, saying,“ So then, God has granted the repentance that leads to life even to the Gentiles.”

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying,“ Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

亦無間於猶太人與希臘人也。真主惟一、乃天下萬民之所共戴；凡有求之者、未有不被其豐恩厚澤者也。故曰：『凡籲主名者、必蒙救恩。』

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。

且以右手舉之、使為君王、使為救主、俾以悔悟之心、救拔之恩、賜於義塞之人、並以聖神錫諸信者、

自有世以來、斯玄妙之旨、未曾啟迪於人。今則已因聖神而明示其諸聖宗徒、及先知先覺之人矣。斯旨無他、即因福音之傳、而萬邦之人、已得於基督耶穌庇蔭之下、同為嗣子、融成一體、共享恩諾是已。天主運用其大能、賜我恩寵、令我得供役於福音。夫我乃諸聖中之至微者、竟亦蒙此殊恩、得在異邦人中弘宣基督不可思議之厚澤、

眾聞之、無不歸榮天主、謂葆樂曰：『爾觀猶太人之信教者盈千累萬、篤守摩西律法；

勸化猶太及希臘人士、悔過自新、歸向天主、信賴吾主耶穌基督。

爾在血統上為外邦人、且一般曾身受人為之割禮者、咸呼爾為未割之民。爾應恆念昔時爾本與基督相隔、處於義塞社會之外、於盟約恩諾為局外人、在世無所仰望、不識天主。今則不然、爾托耶穌基督之恩、藉其聖血、已得化疏為親矣。蓋基督者、吾人之協和也；身受苦難、以去壁壘之隔、除法令之障。於彼之身、本族外族融成一體、以作新人、以建和平。更以此融成一體之二族、與天主協和於十字架上。十字架者、所以消滅一切敵對之意也。夫基督之來、為傳佈和平之福音。當時爾等在遐、我等在邇、其得親聆斯音則一也。總之、吾人以基督為介、彼此融洽於同一聖神之中、而得親近聖父矣。

即欲規人之過、亦須平心靜氣、委宛言之、庶幾天主啟牖其衷、俾得領悟大道、改過遷善、自拔於妖魔之羅網、而脫其拘係。

是以爾當悔悟、棄邪歸正用消宿罪庶幾和平安樂之日、萬物同春之時、當可自主而臨；

主嘗示曰：「我立爾為萬國光、普施救恩於寰宇。」』異邦人聞此、無不竊喜、頌揚主道；凡受命能得永生者、翕然起信、

故我親愛之兄弟，幸勿自誤。一切美德嘉惠、莫不來自天上、降自光明之父。惟父恆常不變、永無晦蝕。

天主曾語亞伯漢曰：「普天生靈、咸賴爾裔而獲福。」天主立子、先以福爾、欲爾自反、而脫罪惡耳。』

既至、召集會眾、縷述天主假手所行諸事；且謂天主已為異邦人洞開信道之門矣。

莫不因予之故、而歸榮天主。

亦欲使異邦人民、感荷天主洪恩、而心歌腹詠焉。經云：『欲在萬民前、鼓琴詠爾名。』又云：『願爾萬邦民、咸同義塞樂。』又云：『萬邦共稱主、億兆齊頌美。』而意灑雅書亦曰：『葉瑟之根苗、掘興治萬邦；萬邦所依恃生靈所仰望。』天主乃希望之泉源、爾等信之、必得飽嘗神樂及平安、且憑聖神之力、而懷無窮之望焉。兄弟乎、我固深知爾等富於道德、深於智慧、必能互相夾持規勸也。今我不揣冒昧、坦率作書者、第欲供爾等以備忘錄耳。且吾既蒙天主之恩寵、得在異邦人中充任基督耶穌之役、不得不勉盡司鐸之職、以弘宣基督之福音、務使異邦人受聖神之感化、而超凡入聖、俾我獻之於天主之前、而蒙其悅納。

予之拔汝於眾民萬邦者、欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」亞基帕王乎、予於天示靈驗、不敢不敬；乃毅然以傳道為己任、先於大馬士革、繼於耶路撒冷及猶太全境、爰及異邦、勸人幡然悔改、歸向天主、且實踐聖道、以稱悔改之心。

於此吾人尚有何說？異邦之人、未曾求義、竟因信而得義矣。

夫天主豈僅猶太人之天主、而非列邦之天主乎？固亦列邦之天主也。蓋天主惟一；其稱受割者為義、以信德；其稱未割者為義、亦以信德。

眾聞彼陳述至此、高呼曰：『此人實無可生之理、地所不載、盍共除之！』遂大譁、拋擲其衣、揚塵空中。

蓋爾等皆因信仰耶穌基督、而成天主之子女矣。爾中凡已領洗而歸依基督者、實已服膺基督、有如衣之被體焉。

吾人以無帕之面、睟然反映主之光輝、榮上增榮、漸與所映者融為一象；此則主之聖神之妙工也。

會眾送之行。經輝尼基、沙瑪里、暢述異邦人之歸依、同道皆大歡喜。

宗徒與猶太全境兄弟、咸聞異邦人亦已領受天主之道；
