惟當達書、命其戒偶像之污穢、及姦淫、又戒食勒死之牲及血、

Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

Here is what we should write to them. They must not eat food that has been made impure by being offered to statues of gods. They must not commit sexual sins. They must not eat the meat of animals that have been choked to death. And they must not drink blood.

惟毋食祭餘之物、牲畜之血、與勒死之牲、且勿犯姦淫；無染於斯、則善甚矣。敬祝康泰。』

惟吾對爾亦略有未滿；蓋爾中有少數人、服膺巴拉盎之邪道；巴拉盎者、即昔日教唆巴拉可置躓石於義塞子孫之前、令食祭像之物、且誘其行淫者也。

吾所不滿於爾者、以爾優容彼婦葉撒伯爾也。該婦自稱女先知、而以邪道熒惑吾之諸僕、誘其行淫、且食祭像之物。

至異邦信主者、吾人亦已遺書、命勿食祭像之物、牲畜之血、及勒死之牲、且勿犯姦淫。』

關於祭肉問題、吾人固知偶像皆屬子虛烏有；亦知天主之外更無真神。世之所謂『天神』『地祇、』亦已多矣；而在吾人、則惟有一『神、』即萬物所自、吾人所歸之聖父是已；惟有一主、即萬物所藉以生、吾人所藉以歸之耶穌基督是已。然非人人具此真知灼見；頗有數輩、至今尚以偶像有靈潛存於意識中、若知所食者為祭餘之物、則其脆弱之良心為所浼矣。夫食物之事、亦焉能令吾人見悅於天主乎蓋不食不為損、食亦不為益也。惟爾其慎之、莫使爾之自由、成為弱者躓蹶之由。人若見爾有知者宴於偶像廟中、則無知者亦將背其良心而食祭餘之物矣。是則爾之有知、適足陷稚弱兄弟於淪亡；而基督固為之捨生矣。然則得罪於兄弟、傷害其脆弱之良心、直獲罪於基督耳。是故食物若為吾兄弟躓蹶之緣、吾寧永不食肉、而不敢為兄弟之厲階也。

顧人類之未死於災者、亦復不改厥行、仍事諸魔、崇拜金、銀、銅、石、木所製、而不能視聽行動之偶像；

至論祭肉如何、吾人皆曰斯易知耳。然知能長傲、惟愛德則能立己立人也。

毋敢崇拜偶像、如若輩中所為者。經云：『民眾坐而飲食、起而荒嬉、』此之謂也。吾人慎毋犯淫、如若輩中所為者、以致一日之內、二萬三千人同歸於盡。

夫過去之日、與世俗同流合污、放縱恣肆、沈湎酒色、崇拜偶像、不已足乎？

故兄弟務須自愛、於邪淫之事、避之惟恐不遠。一切罪惡、施於身外、惟邪淫為褻瀆自身。

寧不知為不義者必不得承天主之國乎？幸毋自欺！凡行淫亂、拜偶像、犯奸惡、為孌童、親男色、

犧牲子女。子女何辜。忍流其血。以媚惡魔。迦南之地。實為蠭窠。穢氣沖天。邪淫實多。

故應將一切卑污之心事、置諸死地，凡淫亂、卑污、邪情、惡慾、貪孌、莫非崇拜偶像之變相、

更恐吾來時、天主令我汗顏無地、蓋一見諸犯奸邪淫亂之徒、尚未幡然悔改、吾能不為之號咷大哭乎哉？

吾意乃謂苟有自名為吾道中人、而猶淫亂、慳吝、迷信、慢罵、狂飲、勒索、誅求也、若此之人、應羞與為伍、雖拒與同席可也。

莫使有一淫邪或不道之人如伊梢者、以貪一飯之微、而拋擲其固有之嗣業。

是故望我親愛之兄弟、對於拜像之事、切莫染指。明人不必細說、爾等當自審之。夫吾人所聖之寶爵、非吾人共飲之基督聖血乎？吾人所分之餅、又非吾人共領之基督聖體乎？是知吾人雖眾、既共享一餅、則同屬一餅、而合為一體矣。曷一觀義塞同族人之所為乎：若輩共食祭物者、非即同一祭壇之人乎。然則何如？豈謂祭肉足以浼我乎？抑吾目中尚有偶像其物乎？非也！然外教人所祭獻之物、乃獻於魔鬼、而非獻於天主也。吾固不願爾等之與魔鬼有所共享也。爾等既飲主之爵、豈可又飲魔鬼之爵；既與主共席、能復與魔鬼共席乎？吾人豈欲激主之怒乎？抑吾人較主為強乎？凡依法之事、未必有益於己，依法之事、未必有益於人也。吾人不可一意孤行、亦須為他人設想也。凡購於市上者、食之；為良心平安計、勿問原委。聖詠不云乎：『大地及所載、莫非主之物。』凡有不信者邀爾、爾如應邀、食其所陳之物、則為良心平安計、勿問原委。若有人告曰：『此為祭餘之物、』則雖為其人之故、亦不可遽食；是亦為良心平安計耳。

婚姻為聖潔之事、床笫不容沾辱。淫人妻女、必遭天誅。

蓋天主所造皆善、固無有一物可以暴棄也。惟受之者當飲水思源耳。憑天主之聖言、及吾人之祈禱、萬物皆成聖潔矣。

蓋天主之意旨無他、欲爾成聖而已。是宜戒絕一切邪淫、

至於奸非浮穢貪婪之事、非聖徒所可道也。

手執已展之小卷、右足踏海、左足踐陸；

食為腹、腹為食；惟腹與食皆非永久之物、轉瞬天主即將使之朽污無遺矣。至於吾人之身、豈為縱淫恣慾而存乎？身為主也、主為身也、如是而已。

惟為避免邪淫起見、則男娶女嫁、亦屬無妨。

夫情慾之事、亦顯而易見也；凡姦非污濁、淫蕩奢侈、

我先前所聞發自天上之音、至此復語我曰：「可詣足跨海陸之天神、領取其手中已展之卷。」
