此等事僅係後事之虛影、而其真體則屬於基督。

这些原是后事的影儿；那形体却是基督。

这些原是未来的事的影子，真体却是属基督的。

这些原是未来的事的影子，真体却是属基督的。

这些都不过是将来之事的影子，那真实的本体是基督。

這一些原是以後之事的影兒，真體乃是屬基督的。

這些不過是將來之事的影子，而實體卻屬於基督。

此皆後事之影、其形乃屬基督、

凡若此、影也、其形、後也、形即基督、

此皆為後事之影、而其形即基督也、

These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

They are only a shadow of the things to come. But what is real is found in Christ.

These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.

For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

These are a shadow of what was to come; the substance is Christ.

things which are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

總之、律法僅為真福之前影、而非真福之實象。故雖歲一獻祭、亦無從使與祭者臻於純全之域也。

實則若輩之所行、不過天上之事之象徵耳。方摩西之建帳幕也、天主諭之曰：『爾其慎旃、一切務須依照山上示爾之法式、而仿造之；』正謂此耳。

前幕乃現世之象徵也。凡現世所獻之禮品祭祀、皆不能使敬禮者之良心、臻於清明純粹之境界。

蓋摩西所授者律法耳、至妙寵真諦、則由耶穌基督而溥施。

是故吾人值茲「入吾安寧」之恩諾尚未失效之時、當恐懼修省、各自奮勉；幸毋因循自誤、以致坐失良機也。蓋慈音之達於我輩、宛如昔日達於先人。顧先人聞之、而未獲其益者、以其未能用信德融洽其所聞之道、而身體之耳。若夫我輩、則固已信之、終當有見納於安寧之一日。何則、天主之言曰：「我憤乃誓、不令入吾安寧。」實則天主之化工、自創世時固已完成矣。經中論第七日有云：「天主工作既畢、於第七日乃享其安寧。」而於此又云：「不令入吾安寧。」可見後來者必有得入者焉。彼先聞慈音者之不得入、徒以執迷不悟故耳。迨至大維之時、年代相隔雖久、天主又假大維之口、另定一日、則今日是已；正如前引之詩所云：『今日若聞慈音、慎毋鐵石乃心！』若約蘇厄果已予先人以安寧、則事後應無另定一日之必要矣。故知必尚有安寧之日留待天主之子民。凡入天主之安寧者、則得脫於一切勞苦、而享無疆之休；適如天主於第七日之所為也。故吾人當及時努力、俾得入此安寧；切勿稍存執拗之意、而蹈先人之覆轍也。

凡爾服勞負重之人、其咸來就我、我當與爾休息。爾其承我之軛、效我之謙遜克己、則爾必得心曠神怡；
