爾等若果因基督之名而受唾罵、福莫大焉！蓋誠能如此、則光榮大能之聖神、天主之聖神、以爾為安宅矣。

爾必因予之名、而見惡於眾也。

爾時人將付爾於酷刑、加爾以殘殺；爾為我名、將見惡於萬民；

爾等因吾之名、必見惡於眾；惟堅忍到底、至終不渝者、必蒙救拔。

見詬不反、見辱不校、將一切付諸公平主宰之手、

為吾名故、爾將見惡於眾、惟忍堅到底、舍生不渝者、必得濟焉。

爾為吾名之故、不免遭受種種橫逆、以人不識遣予者之為誰也。

若為人子故、不容於世俗、既被人棄絕、更受人凌辱、乃至將爾名、視之如荼毒、爾乃真福人、即日當歡躍；

且無論何人、因我之名、而捨其第宅、兄弟、姊妹、父母、子女、或田地者、必得收獲百倍、並承永生。

自保其生者、失之；惟為我捨生者、得之。

且能忍辱負重、為吾之名、任勞任怨、曾無懈意、此可嘉也。

弟能及師、僕能如主、足矣；家主且被人呼為魔王、況家人乎？

唯此事之先、人必為予名之故、將爾拘捕、加爾迫辱、解爾於會堂、幽爾於囹圄、曳爾至王侯公卿之前；

詩云：『正惟為主故、吾人日見殺；一如屠家羊默默待宰割。』

欲救其生者、將喪其生；為予及福音而舍其生者、終必獲生。

吾儕已為基督之故、而成斯世之狂徒矣；爾等則優遊基督之中、而聰明自若也。吾儕弱而爾等強、爾等享榮而吾儕蒙辱。

蓋欲自保其生者、反將失之、惟為予之故、而舍其生者、克保其生。

主知心中事。焉能不發覺。

過者搖首而誚之曰：

蓋吾人雖有生、實無時不為耶穌而死、庶幾吾人血肉之軀、亦得載耶穌之生、而顯揚之耳。

吾且示之、彼為吾名、將如何備嘗艱苦。』

彼等詈曰：『汝乃斯人之徒、而吾輩則摩西之徒也。

為我之故、解爾至有司與君王之前、對若輩及萬民、為吾作證。

蓋施洗如望之來也、不食餅、不飲酒、而爾則曰：『伊中魔矣！』人子之來也、食焉飲焉、而爾則曰：「盍視彼人、饕餮也、酒徒也、稅吏罪人之友也。」

惟其內無根、蓬勃一時、不能持之以恆、一旦為道之故、而遭遇艱難困厄、則頹然而廢矣；

爾當戒慎、爾將因予之故、被人執交公會、撻於會堂、解至王侯之前、以證吾道。

群小紛紛起。誣白以為黑。
