當諭今世之富有者、志勿高、勿望無定之財、惟望上帝、即厚以百物賜我者、

圖富有者、乃陷於誘惑機檻、及無知有害之諸慾、溺人於滅亡者也、蓋好利為萬惡之根、有慕之者、迷失乎信、以多苦自刺、○

而斯世之慮、貨財之惑、及諸端物慾、入而蔽之、致不結實、

有落棘中者、棘同生而蔽之、

未有能事二主者、蓋惡此愛彼、或重此輕彼、爾不能事上帝、又事財貨也、故我語汝、勿慮生何以食、何以飲、身何以衣、夫生非大於食、身非大於衣乎、

播於棘中者、乃人聽道、而世之慮、財之惑、蔽其道而不實、

蓋底馬慕斯世而棄我、往帖撒羅尼迦、革勒士往加拉太、提多往撻馬太、

人子之時、如挪亞之時、人食飲嫁娶、迨挪亞入方舟之日、洪水至而滅眾、又如羅得之時、人食飲貿易、樹藝建造、迨羅得出所多瑪之日、自天雨火與硫而滅眾、人子顯著之日、亦如是、

乃設喻曰、有植無花果樹於其葡萄園者、來而求果弗得、語園丁曰、我來求果於此樹者三年矣、而弗得、宜斫之、何為曠此土乎、對曰、主、今歲姑容之、待我周掘壅糞、後或結果、否則斫之、○

爾當自慎、勿以饜飲沈湎、世之憧擾累爾心、免其日如機檻、突然臨爾、

耶穌見之、曰、有財者入上帝國難矣哉、駝穿針孔、較富者入上帝國猶易也、

一僕不能事二主、或惡此愛彼、或重此輕彼、爾不能事上帝、兼事貨財也、○

不恆在我者、猶枝見棄而槁、人拾而投於火焚之、
