我儕於彼亦得為業、乃依己旨行萬事者所預定、

上帝所預知者、又預定效其子之狀、使為眾兄弟中之冢子、其所預定者召之、召者義之、義者榮之、○

以贖律下之人、使我儕得為子之分、既為子、上帝遣厥子之神、入我儕之心、呼曰、阿爸父也、

凡為上帝之神所導者、乃上帝子也、蓋爾曹非受為奴之神、復致畏懼、乃受為子之神、因而呼曰阿爸父也、聖神與我神共證我儕為上帝子、既為子、則為嗣、即上帝嗣、與基督同為嗣、若與之同苦、亦必與之同榮、○

蓋爾曹由信、咸為上帝子、即賴基督耶穌也、

凡受之者、即信其名者、則賜之權、為上帝子、

不第此也、我儕獲聖神之初實者、亦中心太息、以俟得成為子、即我身之贖焉、

我將為爾父、爾為我子、此全能之主所言也、

獲勝者將承此、我為彼上帝、彼為我有、

且不祇為斯民、又使上帝散處之子民會歸於一也、

示我以厥旨之奧、循其善意、乃於彼中所定、

又忘勸爾之言、如諭子曰、吾子乎、主懲爾、勿輕視、受其譴、勿喪志、蓋主所愛者懲之、所納之子扑之、爾之忍乃為受懲、上帝待爾如子矣、焉有子而父不懲之者乎、夫懲眾所共也、而爾無之、則為私生、而非子矣、且我生身之父懲我、我尚敬之、況諸神之父、不更宜服之以得生乎、

故我恆為爾祈禱、俾我上帝鑒爾、克稱其召、以能而成爾由善諸願、由信諸工、

我曾曰、我置爾於諸子中、錫爾樂土、列國中極美之業、又曰、爾必稱我為父、不轉而不從我、

以色列人數、將若海沙、不能量數、昔於何處謂之曰、爾非我民、後則於彼謂之曰、爾乃維生上帝之子、

蓋世既依上帝之智、而自恃己智不識上帝、故上帝喜以若愚之道救諸信者、

二子未生、善惡未形、俾上帝選人之旨不移、非由乎行、乃由乎召之者、遂諭利百加曰、長子必事幼子、如經云、我愛雅各、而惡以掃、○然則將何言耶、上帝有不義乎、非也、蓋諭摩西云、我欲矜恤者矜恤之、欲憐憫者憐憫之、是則非由志意、非由馳驅、乃由矜恤之上帝也、

是時也、耶穌感於聖神而喜曰、父乎、天地主也、我讚爾、以此事於智者達者則隱之、於赤子則顯之、父乎、然也、此乃爾所悅者也、

蓋志也行也、皆上帝循其善意、施於爾衷也、

自茲以往、爾豈不呼我曰、爾乃我父、為我少年之導、

地上居民、悉若無有、彼於天上軍旅、地上億兆、隨意而行、無能阻其手、或詰之曰、爾何為者、

耶穌曰、勿捫我、以我尚未升至父、惟往語我兄弟云、我升至我父、亦爾父、我上帝、亦爾上帝、

蓋萬物所本所歸者、欲引眾子得榮、使救之之君、以苦難而完全、宜也、夫聖之者與聖者、皆出於一、故稱之為兄弟而不恥、云、我將宣爾名於我兄弟、頌爾於會中、又云、我將賴之、又云、試觀我及上帝所賜我之眾子、夫眾子既屬血氣、彼亦同之、致得由死而滅秉死之權者、即魔也、且釋因畏死而終身屈服者、

父乎然也、此乃爾所悅者也、

當鞫日、尼尼微人將與斯世並立而罪之、以其因約拿所宣而改悔、況有大於約拿者在此乎、○

由上帝旨、奉召為耶穌基督使徒保羅、及兄弟所提尼、

未與同室、及生子、則名之曰耶穌、
