對曰：『有二衣者、當與無衣者共之；有食者亦然。』

John answered,“ Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

John answered,“ Anyone who has extra clothes should share with the one who has none. And anyone who has extra food should do the same.”

And he answered them,“ Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”

John replied,“ If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.”

He replied to them,“ The one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none, and the one who has food must do the same.”

And he would answer and say to them,“ The one who has two tunics is to share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.”

He answered and said to them,“ He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.”

And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.

He replied to them,“ The one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none, and the one who has food must do the same.”

He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

John answered them,“ The person who has two tunics must share with the person who has none, and the person who has food must do likewise.”

He answered them,“ He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

若有人擁有斯世之財富、見其兄弟有急、而閉塞其同情之心、則安得有天主之愛德、存於其衷乎。

亦欲吾人努力為善、富於美德、慷慨為懷、博施濟眾而已矣。

耶穌聞其言、而謂之曰：『尚缺一事、當盡鬻所有、施諸貧人、用積寶於天、然後來從予遊。』

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。是知徒信而無行、則其信、必索然而無生氣也。人將謂爾曰：『爾有信、我有行；惟爾示我以無行之信、而我將示爾以行、用徵吾信。爾信天主惟一、斯誠善矣，獨不知眾魔亦具此信、且因是而震慄焉。』嗚呼、爾亦淺人也已！爾亦知無行之信、乃為空虛無實乎？昔亞伯漢曾毅然以其子伊灑格獻於祭壇之上矣。彼非以行而取義耶？可見其行固有恃乎其信、為之推動、而其信亦有待乎其行、為之玉成也。於是古經所載亞伯漢因信天主而成聖、且稱為「天主之友」云者、乃獲當然之補充、而厥義大備矣。可見人之稱義、以其所行、而不僅憑其所信而已。再如花娘拉哈收留使者、示以改道而歸；寧非以行見義乎？信而無行、猶身之無魂、亦惟死而已矣。

高乃流注目駭視曰：『主、何事？』天神曰：『爾祈禱施濟、上達天聽、已蒙垂鑒。

為人虔誠、舉家敬畏天主、平素博施濟眾、祈禱不輟。

石開恭立而白主曰：『主、願以家貲之半、施濟貧人、如有詐取於人者、願四倍以償。』

自天主聖父視之、純潔無瑕之虔誠、亦曰矜孤恤寡、濟弱扶傾、與夫守身如玉、涅而不緇而已矣。

第能心存慈善、施人以德、則物之於爾、無不潔矣。

或以為茹答斯既司公橐、意者耶穌囑其購辦節日所需之物、或囑其斥貲濟貧耳。

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。依吾之見、捐助之事、實於爾等有益。蓋一年以前、爾等已着手舉辦此事、且發此私願。目前亟宜完成此事、以償宿願。惟所貴在心、但望各人隨量樂助、勿取過其量也。夫吾豈欲加重爾等之累、以釋他人之肩耶？亦曰平均而已矣。此時以爾之有餘、補彼之不足；將來可以彼之有餘、補爾之不足；亦曰平均而已矣。

此膏售之、可得三百餘鈿、以濟窮人、不亦善乎？』舉悻悻然而嗔女。耶穌曰：『聽之、毋阻！渠所加於吾身者、美事也。貧者常與爾俱、爾可隨時濟之、予則非爾曹所得而長留。此女傾其所有、而膏澤吾身、所以備吾之葬耳。

王將謂之曰：「吾實語爾、爾所施於我兄弟中之至微者、即施之於我身也。」

「高乃流、汝之祈禱已達天聽、汝之賑恤已為上主所垂念矣。

何則、天主不負有心人、對於爾等之工作、爾等之敬愛聖名、供養聖徒、至今未懈、天主必不致忘懷也。
