我知世人終身、惟有喜樂與行善為美、

我知道世人，莫强如终身喜乐行善；

我知道，人除了终身喜乐纳福，没有一件幸福的事。

我知道，人除了终身喜乐纳福，没有一件幸福的事。

我认识到，人生在世没有什么比欢乐、享受更好。

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.

People should be happy and do good while they live. I know there’s nothing better for them to do than that.

So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.

故我思、人莫若樂享所經營者、以為可得之分惟此、身後之事、孰能使之逆睹哉、

爾當倚主行善、居於世間、存真養性、

慎勿以惡報惡、或相交、或待眾、恆當從善、當常喜樂、

故命富者為善、積累美事、喜於施舍、樂於濟眾、

爾當常因主而喜樂、我復言爾曹當喜樂、爾當使眾知爾之溫良、主已近矣、勿憂慮、凡事祈禱、籲懇、感謝、以爾之所求者告天主、則天主之平康、超於人意者、必因基督耶穌保守爾心爾念、○兄弟乎、我更有餘言、凡真實者、凡端莊者、凡公義者、凡清潔者、凡可愛者、凡可稱者、有何德、有何譽、俱當念之、爾所學所受所聞所見於我者、皆當行之、則平康之天主必偕爾、○

惟盡力施濟、或作取盛於杯盤者以施於人則於爾無不潔矣、

昔主善待爾、使爾眾多、是主所喜、厥後主殲滅爾、使爾盡亡、絕絕原文作見拔於爾所往欲得之地、亦主所喜、

爾莫若以欣喜食爾之餅、以歡心飲爾之酒、因天主已悅爾之所為、爾之衣恆當潔白、爾之首勿缺香膏、天主賜爾在日下生存之日、皆虛浮無幾、爾莫若同所愛之妻、歡然度日、因爾生存之時、在日下勞碌所得之分惟此、

我凡事示爾、當如是勤勞、以扶持荏弱之人、當憶我主耶穌之言云、施較受更為福、○

歡然為善、行主道並念主者、主以恩迎接之、惟我犯罪、故主震怒、如此之景象已久、我尚能得救乎、
