及天主於信徒所施神力之廣大無邊也。

天主憑其感化吾人之神力、其所能成全於吾人者、將有超乎吾人之意想者焉。

天主為爾等之益、授我以宣恩萬邦之重寄、爾等諒有所聞也。

是在爾等篤守信德、確乎不拔、以保因聞福音而得之希望而已。此福音已布於普天生靈、而我葆樂竟得供役於斯。故予樂為爾等遭受苦難、且吾身所遭受者、實足以補基督苦難之所缺也。夫教會者、基督之體也；予既為教會之公僕、則為此體親嘗其苦難、是實天主所托於我、對爾等應盡之本分、亦所以發揚天主之道也。

不寧惟是、使吾儕足以任新約之役者、亦惟天主而已。此約也、非本乎文字、乃本乎聖神。蓋文字乃肅殺之具、而聖神則生命之源也。

此吾所為不辭勞苦一恃天主施於我躬之神力、而奮鬥者也。

夫亞波羅何人耶？葆樂何人耶？不過天主之僕、銜主之命、各盡其能、以使爾等信奉真道者耳。

今則吾主之聖寵、沛然充溢、膏澤吾身、俾我得仰體基督之心、信德愛德、日充日新。吾人常言、基督之降生斯世、為救罪人也。旨哉言乎、不我欺也。而罪人之中、吾其尤著者也。

吾人賴以蒙恩、忝列宗徒、期使萬民歸順正道、依崇聖名；

吾之得有今日、皆賴天主之寵佑；惟予黽勉勞苦、視他人有過無不及、則未辜負天主之寵佑也。雖然、是亦天主寵佑而已、初非予之功也。

賜爾才備德全、克行厥旨；並因耶穌基督、玉汝於成、俾有以慰愜天心也。願其享受光榮、永世靡暨、心焉祝之。

蓋啟發伯鐸祿、使為本國之宗徒者、主也；而啟發鄙人、使為外邦之宗徒者、亦主也。

在元首庇蔭之下、全身組織、緊湊圓密、百節相承、股肱各司其職、使全身平衡發展、植根於愛德之中、而蔚為大觀。

且爾等一聞吾儕口授之天主福音、不以其為世俗之教、乃審知其實為天主聖道、而欣然納之。故聖道亦緣爾之篤信、而運其妙工於爾身；此尤吾儕之所引以為慰、而感謝天主不能自已者也。

因吾人作戰之武器、非屬形而下者、顧賴主之力其效能則足以掃蕩一切險固之壁壘。凡妄自尊大之幻想、違抗天主聖道之妄念、皆在摧毀之列；務使一思一念、順服基督而後已。

得在異邦人中充任基督耶穌之役、不得不勉盡司鐸之職、以弘宣基督之福音、務使異邦人受聖神之感化、而超凡入聖、俾我獻之於天主之前、而蒙其悅納。

吾人既蒙洪恩、而負此使命、故中心不餒、

然吾亦何敢自誇；吾之所以能使異邦人歸化者、實由基督躬自成之、惟假吾之手而已。或以言語、或以行為、或以聖蹟、異能、何一非聖神之妙工乎？吾傳基督福音、足跡已遍耶路撒冷及其周圍之地、直達伊利利亞。

夫我乃諸聖中之至微者、竟亦蒙此殊恩、得在異邦人中弘宣基督不可思議之厚澤、
