上帝所預知者、又預定效其子之狀、使為眾兄弟中之冢子、其所預定者召之、召者義之、義者榮之、○如是、將何言耶、若上帝佑我、誰能敵我、

耶穌曰、我誠語汝、人非更生、不能見上帝國也、尼哥底母曰、人既老、奚能生、能再入母胎而生耶、耶穌曰、我誠語汝、人非由水與聖神而生、不能入上帝國、

以爾重生、非由可壞之種、乃於不可壞者、即上帝之道、生而恆存者也、

其生也、非由血氣、非由情欲、非由人意、乃由上帝也、

彼猶處子、不浼於色、羔之所往、則皆從之、此乃於眾中蒙贖、為初實之果、獻於上帝及羔者、

祝頌我主耶穌基督之父上帝、依其鴻慈、由耶穌基督自死復起、重生我儕、致獲維生之望、

以色列於耶和華為聖、乃土產之初實、凡噬之者、悉為有罪、災必臨之、耶和華言之矣、○

但上帝富有矜恤、以浩大之愛愛我、於我儕因過愆而死時、偕基督而甦我、爾之得救乃由恩耳、

主所愛之兄弟、我當為爾恆謝上帝、以其自始選爾得救、聖之以神、真理是信也、緣此、上帝曾以我儕之福音召爾、俾得我主耶穌基督之榮、

致其榮因我儕先於基督有望者、得讚頌焉、

且由之使萬有復和於己、乃以其十架之血而致和、在地在天者皆然、夫爾素以惡行、為異為敵於心、

告以色列族云、爾至我所賜爾之地、穫田所產、必取初實之穀一束、奉於祭司、

安逸於錫安、優游於撒瑪利亞山、著名列邦之首、以色列家所歸者、其人禍哉、

如經云、我立爾為萬邦之父、夫上帝即甦諸死者、命無為有者也、

爾宗基督、雖有萬師、而無多父、蓋我在基督耶穌中、以福音生爾、

凡由上帝而生者不行罪、以其種恆在厥衷、其不能干罪者、因由上帝而生也、

諸長子會咸集、即名錄於天者、暨鞫眾之上帝、並義人得完全之靈、

蓋諭摩西云、我欲矜恤者矜恤之、欲憐憫者憐憫之、是則非由志意、非由馳驅、乃由矜恤之上帝也、蓋經諭法老云、我之興爾、特彰我能於爾、揚我名於天下、是上帝隨所欲矜恤之、亦隨所欲剛愎之、○

故宜去諸污穢惡慝、以謙和承所種之道、即能救爾靈者、
