我今求為人所許乎、或求為天主所許乎、抑求悅於人乎、我若求悅人、則不為天主之僕矣、○

我现在是要得人的心呢？还是要得神的心呢？我岂是讨人的喜欢吗？若仍旧讨人的喜欢，我就不是基督的仆人了。

我现在是要得人的心，还是要得上帝的心呢？难道我在讨人的喜欢吗？我若仍旧想讨人的喜欢，我就不是基督的仆人了。

我现在是要得人的心，还是要得神的心呢？难道我在讨人的喜欢吗？我若仍旧想讨人的喜欢，我就不是基督的仆人了。

我现在是要赢得人的赞同吗？还是要赢得上帝的赞同？难道我是要讨好人吗？如果我仍旧要讨好人，我就不是基督的奴仆了。

我现在是要得人的欢心，还是要得神的欢心呢？难道我想讨人欢喜吗？如果我仍然要讨人欢喜，就不是基督的仆人了。

我现在到底是要得人的信任，还是要得神的信任呢？难道我是想讨人的喜悦吗？如果我仍然讨人的喜悦，我就不是基督的奴仆了。

我現在是要得人的心呢？還是要得神的心呢？我豈是討人的喜歡嗎？若仍舊討人的喜歡，我就不是基督的僕人了。

我現在是要得人的心，還是要得上帝的心呢？難道我在討人的喜歡嗎？我若仍舊想討人的喜歡，我就不是基督的僕人了。

我現在是要得人的心，還是要得神的心呢？難道我在討人的喜歡嗎？我若仍舊想討人的喜歡，我就不是基督的僕人了。

我現在是要對人要好麼？還是要對上帝？或是要想法子討人喜歡麼？若是還要討人喜歡，我就不是基督的僕人了。

我現在到底是要得人的信任，還是要得神的信任呢？難道我是想討人的喜悅嗎？如果我仍然討人的喜悅，我就不是基督的奴僕了。

今我欲取信於人乎、抑欲取信於上帝乎、或求悅於人乎、若仍悅人、則非基督僕矣、○

今我豈要人乎、要上帝乎、抑求悅於人乎、若求悅於人、則不能為基督僕、

吾豈欲迎合世俗乎？抑求悅於天主乎？吾又焉能閹然而媚世乎？閹然媚世、則不得為基督之僕矣。

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Am I now trying to get people to think well of me? Or do I want God to think well of me? Am I trying to please people? If I were, I would not be serving Christ.

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond servant of Christ.

For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ!

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

天主既允我儕受福音之任、則我儕如是而言、不求悅於人、乃求悅於鑒察我心之天主、

彼得與諸使徒答曰、聽天主過於聽人、宜也、

勿效取悅於人者、第目前服役、當如基督之僕、誠心而行天主之旨、

淫亂之男女乎、豈不知愛世即惡天主、凡欲與世為友者、即與天主為敵也、

隱為猶太人者、是誠猶太人、心之割禮、是真割禮、蓋在內心、不在儀文、其稱譽非由人、乃由天主、

遂遣其徒、同希律黨、就之曰、師、我儕知爾乃真者、以真傳天主道、爾不顧人議、蓋爾不以貌取人、

爾為奴者、當凡事順從轄爾身之主人、勿效彼取悅於人者、但在目前服役、乃以誠心、且畏天主、

因此、無論居於身、離於身、惟務得主悅納、蓋我眾皆必立於基督臺前、使各人循己身所為、或善或惡而受報、我既知主可畏、則勸勉人、惟我顯明於主前、亦望顯明於爾心、

彼得約翰曰、聽爾曹過於聽天主、在天主前義否、爾自審之、蓋我儕所見所聞者、不得不言、

凡違逆不順真理而行不義者、則報以忿怒、

耶穌基督之僕保羅、奉召為使徒、特命傳天主福音、

爾猶思我向爾曹自訴乎、非也、我賴基督在天主前而言、至愛者乎、凡我所行者、乃為建爾德、

似我凡事使眾喜悅、不求己益、乃求眾人之益、使其得救、

我儕堅者、當容不堅者之弱、毋求悅己、各當悅鄰、以建其德、以致其益、

倘此事聞於方伯、我即勸解之、保爾無虞、

是日、有掃羅之一臣、留於主前、乃以東人名多益、為掃羅之司牧長、

希律怒推羅西頓人、因二邑之民、為其境賴屬王之地以得糧、故一心偕至、託王之內侍臣伯拉司都求和、
