欲使夙盼基督之吾族、得發揚其光輝；

叫他的荣耀从我们这首先在基督里有盼望的人可以得着称赞。

为要使我们，这些首先把希望寄托在基督里的人，颂赞他的荣耀。

好让我们这些首先在基督里得到盼望的人都来颂赞祂的荣耀。

以致我们这些早已在基督里有盼望的人，能归于他荣耀的称赞。

致其榮因我儕先於基督有望者、得讚頌焉、

使我儕首賴基督者、頌讚之也、

使天主之榮、因我儕先仰賴基督者得頌讚、

in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

We were the first to put our hope in Christ. We were chosen to bring praise to his glory.

so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God.

so that we who had already put our hope in Christ might bring praise to his glory.

to the end that we who were the first to hope in the Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, would be to the praise of his glory.

to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.

且沐以芳澤、俾克配其愛子；此乃所以彰其大德也、

兄弟則為主之所愛、吾儕尚可不為爾等恆謝洪恩乎？蓋天主自始予爾等以簡拔、俾爾等受聖神之感化、篤信真理、以蒙救恩。

即爾等異族之人、亦得耹福音之真諦、而與基督合為一體、且緣爾之信、咸得憑天主之恩諾、而受聖神之印證矣。聖神者、即吾儕選民承業蒙贖之質也。此亦所以發揚天主之光輝云耳。

『斯乃吾僕、吾所簡擢；吾愛所鍾、吾心所樂；賦以吾神、宣義萬族；不喧不囂、與世無爭；攘攘市井、不聞清音；不折殘葦、不滅殘燈；所向風靡、以義為兵；萬民之望、在彼之名。』

心悅誠服以順命兮。免天帝之震怒。何苦自取滅亡兮。自絕於康莊之大路。須知惟有委順兮。能邀無窮之福祚。

夫天主之所以為此者、乃欲假吾人因基督耶穌而受之慈惠、以昭示其無窮之恩德於後世耳。

豈可委爾心。仰賴侯與王。若輩皆凡人。生命如朝霜。安能為爾謀。自救且不遑。一旦絕其氣。杏如石火光。身體歸塵土。謀為悉粃穅。何如踵雅谷。仰主膺多福。彼乃永生主。眾望之所托。

而意灑雅書亦曰：『葉瑟之根苗、掘興治萬邦；萬邦所依恃生靈所仰望。』天主乃希望之泉源、爾等信之、必得飽嘗神樂及平安、且憑聖神之力、而懷無窮之望焉。

惟父憑其自由聖意、以真實無妄之道、予吾人以再造、俾充先薦之果、而與萬物更始；

『莫令爾心忐忑不寧；爾信天主、亦當信予。

吾願其因教會及基督耶穌、享受光榮、奕世無暨、心焉祝之。

凡此皆為爾等之益也。爾等之得信奉天主、實賴基督之德、而天主者、則起基督於死者之中、而鍚以光榮者也。是故爾宜堅守信德、一心仰望天主。

予之造次顛沛、備嘗艱辛、亦為此福音而已。然予不以為恥也。無他、予知所仰望者之為誰氏之子、且深信彼之所寄於予者、彼必能保其完整、以待彼日之臨也。
