我所愛者、爾曹在世既為賓客羈旅、我勸爾去肉體之慾、即敵靈者也、

惟覺肢體中別有一法、與我心之法戰、而擄我以從於肢體中罪之法、

蓋肉體所欲、逆聖神、聖神所欲、逆肉體、二者相敵、致爾不能為所欲為、

人而見誘、俱為己慾所引所惑、

爾求而不得、因爾妄求、欲以所求者、縱爾之慾、

人心較萬物詭譎、甚為不善、難以測度、

蓋由內即由心出惡念、姦淫、苟合、兇殺、盜竊、貪婪、惡毒、詭詐、邪侈、疾視、褻瀆、驕傲、狂妄、凡此諸惡、皆自內出、斯乃污人、○

昔我儕亦無知、背逆、迷惑、役於嗜慾及諸淫佚、常行暴很媢嫉之事、且為人所惡、而彼此相惡、

使爾曹今後不從人慾、而順天主之旨、以度在世所餘之光陰、我從異邦人之意、邪侈、縱慾、放飲、饕餮、沈湎、更行拜偶像可憎之事、往時如是已足矣、

惟愚者之辯問、譜系之談論、律法之爭競、爾當遠之、此皆虛妄無益者、

不眷顧該隱與其所獻之物、該隱怒而變色、主謂該隱曰、爾怒變色何故、爾若行善、豈不蒙悅納乎、若不行善、則孽伏於門、彼繫戀爾、爾猶將制之、後、該隱與弟亞伯晤言、二人適在田間、該隱遂起、攻弟亞伯而殺之、

勿愛斯世及斯世之物、人若愛斯世、則愛父之愛、不在其內、蓋凡在世、如肉體之慾、眼目之慾、及一生一生或作富有之驕奢、皆非由父、乃由世也、世與世之慾皆將逝、惟遵行天主之旨者永存、

出言矜誇虛誕、以肉體之嗜慾及邪侈之事、誘惑甫脫於妄行之人、

故當滅爾在地之肢體所作之罪、即姦淫、污穢、邪侈、惡慾、貪婪、貪婪與拜偶像同罪、

爾既為順命之子、則毋如昔蒙昩之時、放縱嗜慾、

蓋惡念、兇殺、姦淫、苟合、盜竊、妄證、褻瀆、皆由心而出、

此等人常出怨言、不自知足、從其慾而行、口出矜誇、為利以諂人、○可愛者乎、爾當憶我主耶穌基督之使徒所預言者、曾告爾曰、末世必有好戲笑者從己慾、行不虔敬之事、

爾心若懷嫉很、紛爭、則勿矜誇、勿誑妄、以敵真理、如此智慧、非由上而來、乃屬地、屬血氣、屬鬼魔、蓋嫉妒紛爭所在、必有亂行及諸惡事、惟由上之智慧、先廉潔、後和平、溫良、柔順、充滿矜恤、多結善果、不偏視、不偽善、善義之果、必被行和平之人以和平而種、

蓋我儕屬肉體之時、罪慾由律法而生者、動於我肢體、使我儕結果以致死、

體肉體、乃與天主為仇、因不服天主之法、且不能服也、

首先當知在末世必有縱己慾、好戲笑之人出、戲曰、

此人乃心驕、一無所知、專好辯問鬥辭、由此生妒嫉、爭競、訕謗、妄疑、並壞心術、喪真理之人所尚虛誕之爭辯、彼以虔敬為獲利之法、如此之人、爾當遠避、如此之人爾當遠避有原文抄本無此二句然虔敬若兼知足、是大益也、我儕無所攜而出世、亦無所攜而去世、明矣、有衣食即當知足、圖富有者陷誘惑、罹網羅、墮無理有害之慾中即溺人於沈淪及滅亡者也、貪利為萬惡之根、有人慕之、則迷失於道、以多苦自刺、

爾父即魔、爾曹由彼而出、爾喜行爾父之所欲、彼自始為殺人者、不立於真理、以其內無真理、彼言誑、乃由本性而言之、因彼為誑者、且為誑者之父也、
