叮嚀斯世富人、不可驕傲；財富無常、未足恃也。所可恃者、惟天主耳。天主慨然以萬物賜予吾人、俾得充量享受者、

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。

代馬士不能忘情於斯世、已離我而赴德颯洛尼矣。格肋森則往加拉西亞、提多亦赴達爾馬西亞。

因謂眾曰：『爾其慎之、摒絕一切貪婪、人之生命、不在其產業之富裕也。』

落於荊棘中者、譬人聞道之時、內有世俗之憂慮、貨利之迷惑、嗜欲之萌動、相與交攻於中、而壅塞其道、宜其不實也；

或落棘中、棘漸長而蔽之；

誰知天網恢恢兮。將滅爾以終古。逐爾於家室之外兮。除爾於永生之圃。

一身不能兼事二主、不嫉此而愛彼、必附此而棄彼矣。天主之與財富、兩者固不能並事也。故吾語爾、毋庸岌岌於何食何飲以養生、何衣以蔽體。夫生不貴於食、體不貴於衣乎？

毋戀世俗世物；人若戀世、安得有愛慕天父之情、存乎其心。蓋世間所有、不外物欲聲色、榮華富貴。凡此皆非本乎天父、乃本乎人世。

凡厚積私財、而貧於天爵者、皆此類也。』

有名亞拿尼亞者與妻撒非喇亦鬻產以獻；惟兩人相商、私留數金、而以所餘獻宗徒。伯鐸祿曰：『亞拿尼亞爾何沙殫蒙心、私藏所得、以欺聖神乎？田未鬻、非爾之所有乎？鬻而得銀、又非爾之所屬乎？今爾心懷譎詐、是誠何為？爾非欺人、直欺天主耳！』亞拿尼亞聞言、仆地而絕、聞者悚然，諸少年殮而葬之。逾三時、其妻入、猶未悉其夫之所遇。伯鐸祿曰：『鬻田所得盡於此乎？可自言之。』曰：『然、盡於此矣。』伯鐸祿曰：『夫婦同謀、以試天主之神；葬爾夫者、足已及門、行將舁爾去矣！』婦立仆伯鐸祿足前而絕。少年返、見其已逝、亦舁之出、葬於其夫之側。全會同人、及聞其事者無不懍然戒懼焉。

耶穌答曰：『昔有人、設盛筵、柬請多賓、屆時命僕速客曰：「一切皆備、即請命駕。」客同聲辭謝；首曰：「予置一地、必須往視、請辭。」次曰：「予購十牛、須往試之、請辭。」又一人曰：「予方新婚、不克赴筵。」僕歸、白主、主［赤弗］然謂僕曰：『速入城、赴街頭巷尾、凡貧苦跛瞽殘廢者、引之以至、僕旋報曰：「主、已遵命而行、尚有空位。」主曰：「出至大路、及藩籬之間、強人來進、務使濟濟一堂。予實語爾、前所柬請者、將無一人得嘗吾席上珍味也。」』

貧富貴賤皆泡影。泡影為重人生輕。若衡二者天平上。人生應升泡影沈。

心懷叵測、為玷為辱；眸子不正、惟見邪淫；意志薄弱者、受其誘惑；惟利是圖、實地獄中人也。若輩捨棄正道、流入歧途、與包掃兒之子巴拉盎實屬一路之人。彼巴拉盎者、貪戀不義之財、

耶穌見其狀、而告眾曰：『難矣哉！富人之進天主國也。駝經針孔較是猶易。』

是故勿謀何飲何食、毋事營營汲汲；凡此皆世俗之所營。爾之有需於此、爾父庸有不知？

哀哉此輩、既追踵該因、步其後塵；且以利忘身、而流入巴賴之歧途；又不惜與可拉並肩作亂、而自取滅亡也。在爾等愛席之上、彼必與共、惟有恣其口腹、靦然自飽、以玷爾清潔耳。此輩實同無雨之雲、為風所逐；秋後之樹、不結果實；外枯中乾、根株盡拔。

有人來謁曰：『夫子吾當行何善、始可享永生？』耶穌曰：『奚為以善見詢？善者惟一。雖然、爾欲臻於常生、則守誡尚矣。』曰：『何誡？』曰：『毋殺人、毋姦淫、毋偷盜、毋妄證、敬爾父母、愛人如己。』少年曰：『凡此我皆自幼習行；敢問尚虧何事？』耶穌曰：『欲為完人、往售所有、施於貧人、積寶於天、再來從我。』少年聞言、悵然而歸、以其擁有巨資耳。耶穌乃謂門徒曰：『我實語爾、難矣哉、富人之進天國也！吾謂駝經鍼孔、較富人之進天國猶易。』
