斯時、我不在耶路撒冷、蓋巴比倫王亞達薛西三十二年、我返王所、越時未久、蒙王之許復往耶路撒冷、

亦未素餐於人、惟是勞苦、晝夜操作、免累爾一人、我儕如此、非因無權使爾供我、乃為爾自作模範、使爾效我儕、

亞達薛西王二十年、尼散月、有酒在王前、有酒在王前或作值王有筵席我以酒奉王、前此我侍王前、未有憂色、此日有憂色

我豈無權飲食乎、我豈無權娶女弟為妻、攜之同行、如他使徒、及主之兄弟與磯法乎、抑我與巴拿巴、不得不作工乎、誰為軍士、食己之餉乎、誰樹葡萄園、不食其果乎、誰牧羊群、不食羊群之乳乎、我言此、豈如人言、律法不亦如是言乎、摩西律法載云、碾穀之牛、勿籠其口、天主豈為牛慮乎、抑特為我言之乎、固為我載之、蓋耕者必以望而耕、碾穀者亦必因望而碾、即得穀之望也、我儕既為爾播屬神之道、則獲爾屬身之物、豈為大事乎、他人尚操此權於爾中、況我儕乎、然我儕未用此權、寧忍一切、免阻基督之福音、爾豈不知務聖事者、由聖所得食乎、侍祭臺者、在祭臺有分乎、主亦如此命傳福音者、賴福音以養生、然此諸權、我悉未用、且我書此、非欲爾如是以待我、我寧死、不可使我所誇者歸於虛、

然則我之賞何歟、即我傳基督之福音、使人無所費而得、不妄用我在福音所有之權、

爾曹納稅、亦為是故、蓋秉權者、乃天主之役、常理此事、故所當予人者、則予之、稅當納者則納之、餉當輸者則輸之、當畏者則畏之、當敬者則敬之、

願王知其城若建、其垣若立、其眾不復入貢輸餉納稅、而國帑必虧、臣既食禦鹽、不宜不宜或作不忍見王受損、故遣人奏王、
