斯時我不在耶路撒冷、蓋巴比倫王、亞達薛西三十二年、我返覲王、越數日我請假、

亦未嘗素餐於人、乃以勞以苦、晝夜操作、免累爾中一人、非我無權、第自為模楷、俾爾效我、

亞達薛西王二十年、尼散月、王前有酒、我取而晉之、前此我侍王側、未有憂色、

我豈無權式飲式食乎、豈無權娶信女攜之同行、如他使徒、及主之兄弟、與磯法乎、抑我及巴拿巴、獨無權不操作乎、誰作軍士自備餉乎、誰樹葡萄園不食其果乎、誰牧畜不食其乳乎、我豈依人而言、律非亦如是言乎、蓋摩西律載云、踏穀之牛、勿籠其口、上帝意豈在牛乎、非概為我儕言之乎、固為我儕而書也、因耕者當以所望而耕、打穀者宜有共得之望、我播爾以屬乎靈者、則穫爾屬乎身者、豈為過乎、他人且操此權、況我乎、然我不為也、寧凡事容忍、免阻基督福音、豈不知事聖事者食諸殿、侍祭壇者與於壇乎、主命宣福音者、以福音而生亦然、此權我皆未行之、今書此、非欲爾如是待我、蓋我寧死、不使我所詡者歸於虛也、

然則我之賞維何、即宣福音、使人不費而得之、免我盡用福音之權也、

是以爾亦輸稅、蓋彼乃上帝之有司、恆執斯役、所宜與者與之、稅則納之、征則輸之、畏則畏之、敬則敬之、○

願王知之、若建斯邑而成其垣、其後彼不進貢、輸餉納稅、終必有損於王、我儕既食宮鹽、不宜見王受辱、故奏於王、
