方今普天之下、福音正在結實蕃衍、爾中亦復如是。蓋爾等自聞道以還

既散、猶太人及虔誠之歸化者、多有從葆樂、巴拿巴者；二人復加以訓導、勉其永保天主恩寵、毋使之失。

故望我親愛之兄弟確乎不拔、屹然不動、恆在主之工作中發榮滋長、蔚為大觀；固知爾在主中所有艱辛困苦、不為徒勞耳。

惟吾兒素承吾之教誨、對於吾之行實、吾之志向、吾之信德、吾之刻苦、吾之愛德、

乘舟返安提阿；昔在此間受眾薦舉、托主洪恩、所承使命、至此乃告完成。

勸眾堅心、信道勿移、曰：『吾人欲入天主之國、必須經歷多難。』

然吾於生命置之度外、無所顧惜。但望能完成吾之行程、及所受於主耶穌之使命、以證天主恩寵之福音而已。

每憶汝之熱淚、欣慕之心、油然而生、渴欲與汝相見、用充神樂。蓋予知汝之信德、實出至性、自汝外祖母羅懿、已具篤信；汝母幼儀、亦稟斯德；家學淵源、由來舊矣。

乃諭諸徒曰：『人欲從予、必須克己、負其十字架、而追隨予後。

尚望恆寓吾內、俾吾亦得恆寓爾內。枝脫樹不能結實；爾離我、亦無以結實。

賴斯大榮大德、吾人復受有無上無疆之恩諾、俾吾人脫世俗縱情恣慾之腐敗惡習、得躋於神化之境、而融於天主之性。因是望爾等發憤自勉、精益求精；既有信心、加以德行；既有德行、加以明達；既有明達、加以克治；既能克治；加以堅忍；既有堅忍、加以虔誠；既有虔誠、加以友愛；既有友愛、冠之以仁。爾等苟能存養此等美德、使之發榮滋長於爾內心、則體認吾主耶穌基督、自覺日益親切、欲罷不能、必不致華而不實也。凡不具此等美德者、無異短視淺識之心盲、而自忘其舊罪已蒙滌除矣。

耶穌鑒其誠、乃謂癱者曰：『小子、爾罪赦矣。』

耶穌因謂之曰：『爾能恪守吾道、是真吾徒、且必能了悟真理、而真理必使爾為自由之人矣。』

葆樂則屬意於西拉。臨行、同人為之求主加以寵佑。

當吾之存此意念也、決非以輕率出之、亦非徇於私情而定、其後又任意變更計劃、忽爾非其所是、是其所非也。

主曾賜鍛鍊。清夜測吾心。考驗亦云詳。未發纖屑妄。凡我口所言。莫非心所想。我既抱精一。心口豈有兩。

故望兄弟深思遠慮、小心翼翼、毋為不肖者之謬說所搖奪、而失其所守。務宜在吾救主耶穌基督之聖寵及認識上、日有長進也。願主受享光榮、自今茲、迄永世、心焉祝之。

而先遣從事基督福音之天主忠僕、兄弟蒂茂德、前來慰問、以堅爾之信德、庶幾造次顛沛無所動心。蓋知受苦受難、實為吾人分內之事。嚮者吾與爾俱、早已預告吾人必有憂患、今果見驗、亦爾等之所親歷也。因此吾迫不及待、儘先遣人探訪、藉欲知爾信德、深恐誘人之物乘間誘爾、則我等之所為孳孳不倦者、盡付東流矣。

蓋爾等信而有行、愛而能勞、仰望吾主耶穌基督、確乎不拔、故在天主聖父之前、時切馳思、不能自已、且知我天主寵愛之兄弟、確在蒙簡之列也。

兄弟乎、吾人茲得藉耶穌之寶血、遵其為吾人開闢之路、而自由進入閟幄矣。此新路也、亦生路也。其所通過之帷幕、則基督之肉身也。今吾人在天主宅中、既有偌大之司祭矣；吾人之心、既已灑脫罪累矣；吾人之身、既已洗濯於潔水之中矣；則吾人尚可不以一片赤誠、沛然不疑、而親近天主乎？尤宜確乎不拔、堅守吾人所共抱之望德。蓋天主言出惟行、有諾必信也。尚其以愛德興善行互相鼓勵。集會之事、切勿中輟、如若輩無恆者之所為也。亟宜彼此勗勉夾持；蓋彼日伊邇、更無因循之餘地矣。夫吾人既認識真道、如再明知故犯、則不復有贖罪之祭、

爾等當一憶曩昔初蒙光照之日、爾等如何備嘗艱苦、頻遭橫逆、不惟自身受垢蒙辱、若優伶之演劇、供眾一粲；即同道中有遭此垢辱者、爾等亦莫不痛苦身受。爾等不惟體恤囹圄中人、即自己產業之被劫奪、亦能逆來順受、且欣然自樂、固知另有盡善盡美、可大可久之嗣業在也。惟望毋失勇毅之氣、必有厚報。蓋欲奉行天主之旨而獲所諾、則耐德尚矣。『尚待片晷、須臾之間、彈指之頃、而將臨者自至、其必不復稽延矣！然『為吾之忠僕者、當恃信德而生；若畏首畏尾、非吾心所喜。』吾人則非畏首畏尾、終致淪亡之徒也；乃浩然不疑、自求靈祉之人也。

我今將爾付託於主及其恩寵之道；蓋惟斯能予爾以建立而使爾與諸聖共嗣洪基耳。
