惟隨意行萬事者、預定我、因基督、得嗣業、

其所知者、則預定效其子、使彼為眾子中冢子、其所預定者、則召之、所召者、則稱義之、所稱義者、則加榮之、

贖法下人、使我眾得為子、既得為子、則上帝遣厥子之神在爾心、籲之曰、阿爸、父也、

凡為上帝之神所導者、是為上帝子、今而後、爾非奴之操心危、所操者乃子之心、籲曰、阿爸父也、即神在我心、證吾人為上帝子、既為子、即為嗣、乃上帝嗣、與基督同為嗣、同苦者同榮、

爾曹信基督耶穌、皆為上帝子、

受即信其名者、賜之權、為上帝子、

不第此、我儕初得聖神者、亦心歎望眾子之顯、吾身之贖焉、

全能之主曰、吾必為爾父、爾為我子女也、

勝敵者可得萬有、我必為其上帝、彼必為我子、

不祗為斯民、又使上帝散處之子集於一也、○

復示我奧旨、行其所立之善意、

爾不憶上帝、勸勉爾若子曰、子乎、主責爾、勿輕視、主譴爾、勿喪膽、蓋主責其所愛、扑其所納、爾既受責、上帝待爾若子、焉有子而父不責之者乎、眾受責而爾不受責、則為妓所出、非嫡所生、生我身之父責我、而我敬之、況賦我神之父、豈不當誠服以得永生乎、

為此、我儕常為爾祈禱、望我上帝鑒爾、可得此福、盡厥善意、助爾信主力行、

予竊自思、能安以為爾赤子、斯土膏腴、列國之民以為佳業、焉能予爾。轉念曰、爾稱予為父、無違逆予、則可。

越至於後、以色列族其數必如海沙、不能斗量籌算也、今我語人曰、爾非我民、異日將稱為永生上帝眾子、

世人恃其智、不識上帝、故上帝喜以若愚之道、救諸信者、斯上帝之智也、

子未生善惡未形、而上帝選人之旨不移、其選之也、非由所行、乃由所召、諭利百加氏曰、長子必服幼子、如經云、吾愛雅各、不愛以掃、是何言歟、上帝亦不義乎、曰、非也、諭摩西曰、我所矜恤者矜恤之、我所憐憫者憐憫之、此非由人意、非由人力、乃由上帝矜恤、

當時、耶穌心喜曰、父乎、天地主也、我讚爾、以此道隱於智者才者、而顯之於赤子、誠哉、父之善意、固如是也、

蓋上帝以其恩澤、施行爾中、俾志立行果、

當爾幼沖、我誨爾諄諄、何至今日、不以我為父。

斯世之億兆、藐乎其小、有如無物、天下軍旅、地下人民、上帝隨意而作、其取之、孰能禦之、其為之、孰能詰之、

耶穌曰、我未升見父、勿援止我、往告我兄弟、曰、我升見我父、即爾父、我上帝、即爾上帝、

夫萬物本之歸之之上帝、欲令眾子享其榮、緣救世之君受難、以為完人、潔之者與受潔者、同出於一、故視若兄弟、不以為恥、其言曰、吾播父名於兄弟間、頌爾於會中、又曰、吾必賴父、又曰、吾與上帝所賜之子、俱在乎此、子乃血氣之屬、主亦血氣之屬、欲以其死使魔鬼無權、不得逞其力以傷人、是使平生畏死而屈服者、無不解釋也、

誠哉、父之善意、固如是也、

尼尼微人、當審判時、將起而罪此世之人、以尼尼微人、猶聽約拿言而悔改、況大於約拿者在此乎、○

遵上帝旨、奉召為耶穌基督使徒保羅、及兄弟所提尼、

未與同室、及生冢子、則名曰耶穌、
