信者一德一心、未嘗私其所有、而不公諸同享者。

當斯時也信徒益眾、而中操希臘語之猶太人、訾議希伯來人忽其諸嫠之日給。十二宗徒因召同人至、曰：『為几筵之事而曠傳道之職、非所宜也。請就爾中推選孚眾望、而富於聖神及智慧者七人、吾儕當委以斯職、

吾今所不能已於言者、則吝以播者、亦吝以收；廣而散者、亦廣而聚也。尤望各自隨意樂助、勿稍存吝嗇或勉強之意。蓋惟以助人為樂者、乃為天主之所樂助耳。且天主全能、必使各種美德暢茂條達於爾等之胸中、俾爾等萬事舉足、無善不俱。經云：『平生疏財、博施濟貧、宜其義德、千秋永存、』此之謂也。夫主既賜爾以種子、供爾以𩝠糧、亦必使爾之種子發榮滋長而為爾激增正義之果實也。蓋爾等既眾德萃身、而發為慷慨之豪舉、吾儕更當將此慷慨、化為眾口誦主之因緣。是則此項善舉不僅補聖徒之不足、抑且使眾心感謝天主、於以增益天主之光榮。申言之、若輩既見爾等慈善之明徵、必因爾等之服膺聖道及急公好義、而翕然歸榮於天主矣。同時若輩鑒於爾等之滿被聖寵、嚮往之念、必油然而發、且將為爾祈禱矣。於此天主之福澤、實有不可思議者焉。吾人可不心歌而腹詠乎哉！

亦曰平均而已矣。此時以爾之有餘、補彼之不足；將來可以彼之有餘、補爾之不足；亦曰平均而已矣。經云：『多穫者無所餘、少穫者無所缺、』此之謂也。

吾主耶穌基督之慷慨、固爾等之所知也。彼乃萬有之主也、顧為爾等之故、甘成貧窮、俾爾等因彼之貧窮、而成富有。

田未鬻、非爾之所有乎？鬻而得銀、又非爾之所屬乎？今爾心懷譎詐、是誠何為？爾非欺人、直欺天主耳！』
