有些当兵的也问他，说：“那么我们呢？我们该做什么呢？”约翰说：“不要敲诈任何人，也不要勒索人，当以自己的粮饷为满足。”

Then some soldiers asked him,“ And what should we do?” He replied,“ Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely— be content with your pay.”

Then some soldiers asked him,“ And what should we do?” John replied,“ Don’t force people to give you money. Don’t bring false charges against people. Be happy with your pay.”

Soldiers also asked him,“ And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them,“ Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.”

“ What should we do?” asked some soldiers. John replied,“ Don’t extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”

Some soldiers also questioned him,“ What should we do?” He said to them,“ Don’t take money from anyone by force or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”

And soldiers also were questioning him, saying,“ What are we to do, we as well?” And he said to them,“ Do not extort money from anyone, nor harass anyone, and be content with your wages.”

Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying,“ And what shall we do?” So he said to them,“ Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”

此非予之寒酸語也蓋就予一己言之、實已修得隨遇而安、知足常樂之境。

立身處世、切莫貪財；若能知足、則常樂矣。天主不云乎：『我決不爾棄、有急我當濟。』然則吾人應可泰然無憂、怡然而歌曰：『有主相佑、遑恤其他？血氣之倫、其如我何？』

苟有衣食、亦可以知足矣。若夫孳孳為利之人、徒自陷於誘惑、墮入羅網、顛冥昏昧、縱情恣慾、終至沉溺淪亡而後已。信哉、貪財乃萬惡之根也。頗有因求財之故、而離棄正道流入岐途、終至自求辛螫、百慮刺心者焉。

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。』

耶穌入葛法農有巴總來求曰：

天神語畢而杳。高乃流即召二僕與一虔誠之侍卒、

『毋犯奸淫、毋殺人、毋偷盜、毋妄證、毋貪人之所有、』以及其他誡律、一言以蔽之、亦曰愛人如己而已。苟志於愛人矣、無惡也。此法律之所以成於愛德也。

俾成完人、而為天主之孝子、處邪污之世、而能保守清白、明如日月、照耀乾坤；

至是吾聞大音自天而發曰：「彼日夜不輟、訟我兄弟於天主前者、已被貶逐。天主救恩權威與統治之完成、及其基督之秉鈞、其時已屆。
