我未來此京有年矣、今番來此、原為齎款賑濟國人且獻禮以還願。

吾儕茲可告慰於爾等者、乃天主所賜於馬其頓諸聖會之恩寵也。彼等雖艱苦備嘗、而神樂恆湧於心中；貧窮至極、而熱情獨異乎尋常；慷慨輸將、惟力是視、甚有超過其力量者；此吾可為之作證也。彼等且再三懇求吾儕、准其同享賑濟聖徒之特恩；而尤使吾儕喜出望外者、則彼等先獻身於主、而後秉承聖意以為吾儕效勞也。以是吾儕亦鼓勵提多繼續向爾等勸募、俾成爾等之美德。爾等既富於信德、口才、智慧、熱心、及友愛矣、則於慈善之美德、寧可後人耶？吾作此言、非命令也、乃欲藉他人之熱情、一測爾等愛德之深淺耳。吾主耶穌基督之慷慨、固爾等之所知也。彼乃萬有之主也、顧為爾等之故、甘成貧窮、俾爾等因彼之貧窮、而成富有。

同時亦毋忘樂善助人、斯亦祭也；欲慰悅天心、莫善於此矣。

設有兄弟或姊妹衣食匱乏、而爾謂之曰：『安心以去、吾信汝必得溫飽；』而不給以切身所需之物、則亦何所裨益。

惟目前吾須先赴耶路撒冷一行、以賑濟諸聖徒。蓋馬其頓及亞該亞教友、自告奮勇、慷慨輸將、以助耶路撒冷之窮苦聖徒；其所以自告奮勇、有此豪舉者、蓋由彼視之、實屬義不容辭之事耳。夫異邦人既得與耶路撒冷人同享其靈心之事、彼其以區區物質供之、豈為過乎？

於是門徒各盡所能、捐貲以濟猶太之兄弟、乃託巴拿巴及掃羅齎送諸長老。

為聖徒捐貲之事、予曩所訓示加拉太諸教會者、爾亦當遵例行之。每週首日、爾等每人各按其經濟能力、提出若干、各自貯之；務使予來時、不復有臨時勸募之必要。
