惟隨己意行萬事之主、循其旨預定我儕因基督而得嗣業、

天主所預知者、則預定肖其子之狀、使彼為眾子中之長子、其所預定者、亦召之、所召者、亦稱之為義、所稱義者、亦榮之、○

以贖律法下之人、使我眾得為子、爾既得為子、天主則遣其子之神於爾心、呼阿巴、父也、

蓋凡為天主之神所導者、是為天主之子、爾曹所受之神、非使爾自視為奴、致仍畏懼、爾曹所受之神、乃使爾自視為子、我儕由之而呼阿巴、父也、此神與我心、或作此神與我神同證我儕為天主之子、既為子則為嗣、即天主之嗣、與基督同為嗣、我儕若與之同苦、亦必與之同榮、○

蓋爾曹由信基督耶穌、皆為天主之子、

凡受之者、即信其名者、賜之以權、為天主之子、或作凡受之者賜之以權為天主之子即信其名者也

不第此也、即我儕已得聖神之初果者、中心自歎、望得義子之位、即我身之贖也、

又載云、全能之主曰、我將為爾父、爾為我子女、

得勝者將嗣萬物、我必為其天主、彼必為我之子、

且不第為斯民、又為使天主散處之子、咸集於一、

且示我以其旨之奧妙、循其所定之美意、

爾曹又遺忘勸爾如子之言曰、我子、主懲爾、勿藐視、主責爾、勿喪膽、蓋主懲其所愛者、撲其所納之子、爾若受懲、則是天主待爾如子、焉有父而不懲其子者乎、眾既受懲、爾若不受懲、則為私子、非嫡子也、生我身之父、懲我而我敬之、況賦畀我神之父、豈不更當服之以致得永生乎、

因此我儕常為爾祈禱、願我天主視爾堪受此召、以大能使爾克成所悅之善及信主之功、

我自問曰、我何以視爾為子、何以賜爾美地、列國之民所視為美業者、曰、爾惟稱我為父、勿離棄我、或作我曾應許曰我必使爾在諸子中極為昌大將萬國所珍愛之美地賜爾為業我曰但欲爾稱我為父勿離棄我

將來或作雖然以色列人數必如海沙、不可量、不可計、今我語之曰、爾曹非我民、後日必稱為永生天主之子、

世既以智不識天主、則天主喜以宣道之愚、救諸信者、此乃天主之智也、

子尚未生、未行善惡、而語利伯加云、長子必事幼子、以示天主選人之旨、非由行事、乃由召者、

當時耶穌心喜曰、父歟、天地之主、我頌讚爾、因爾以斯道隱於智者達者、而顯之於赤子、父歟、是也、因爾之意固如是也、

蓋天主循其善意、力行於爾中、使爾既立志亦成事、

爾方稱我為父、爾又曰、我在爾幼時、向爾施愛、

世間萬民、視若虛無、天上萬軍、世上萬民、隨意而待、無能禦之、無能詰之曰、爾何為、

耶穌謂之曰、毋捫我、因我尚未升歸我父、可往見我兄弟、告之曰、我將升歸我父、亦爾之父、我天主、亦爾之天主、

萬物所本、萬物所歸者、欲引多子得榮、遂使救之之君、受苦難而得純全、宜也、蓋使成聖者、及得成聖者、皆出於一、故稱之為兄弟、不以為恥、彼曰、我將宣爾名於我兄弟間、頌爾於會中、又曰、我仰賴天主、又曰、我與天主所賜我之眾子在此、眾子既有血肉之身、彼亦有血肉之身、致可以死而滅秉死之權者、即魔也、且解釋因畏死而一生屈服者、

父歟、是也、因爾之意固如是也、

尼尼微人、當審判時、將起而罪此世代、因尼尼微人聽約拿所勸而悔改、而在此有大於約拿者、○

遵天主旨、奉召為耶穌基督使徒保羅、及兄弟所司提尼、

但未與同室、及生冢子、乃名之曰耶穌、
