彼則不本至誠、徒以基督為號召、而自立門戶、藉欲重貽吾憂於囹圄之中。

那些人傳講基督卻是出於自私，動機並不純正，只想加重我在捆鎖中的煩惱。

前一種人之傳揚基督呢、卻是出於營私爭勝的心，不清清潔潔地傳，只想要在我的鎖鍊中另外引起困苦罷了。

前者傳講基督是出於爭競，不是出於真誠，想要在我的捆鎖中，增加我的患難。

彼則出於樹黨、非誠也、欲增我縲絏之苦耳、

此則出於仁愛、知我為辯福音而用、

此則由愛心、知我為辯福音而立、

The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

予之奉命而任傳道、而作宗徒、而充師導者、為此福音而已。予之造次顛沛、備嘗艱辛、亦為此福音而已。然予不以為恥也。無他、予知所仰望者之為誰氏之子、且深信彼之所寄於予者、彼必能保其完整、以待彼日之臨也。

毋分黨派、毋爭虛榮；謙卑自牧、先人後己；

此則予所深信不疑者也。且予對爾懷此感想、允非過情；蓋爾我神交心契、實為一體；故予之縲絏、亦即爾之縲絏；予之護道樹教、爾托主恩、亦與有功焉、

蓋我引以為榮者、不在宣傳福音；蓋宣傳福音、在吾為義不容辭之事、實有所受命耳。若中途而廢、則吾其休矣！若予之傳道為出於自動、則受酬宜也、今既有所受命、則在予為一受託之義務而已。

吾屢擬訪爾、意欲在爾中有所收穫、如在他邦。惟因種種阻礙、迄今未得成行；耿耿此心、尚祈諒詧。吾對希臘人與化外人、智與不智、皆負有傳道之義務。故為爾等羅馬同人、闡述福音、亦為當務之急。蓋吾不以福音為恥也。福音乃天主之神力、用以救度信徒、始于猶太、爰及希臘。蓋天主之正義、已藉福音而啟示矣。此正義乃肇於信德、而成於信德者也。經曰：『惟義者憑信德而生、』此之謂也。

我首次提審時、竟無一人為我辯護；同人皆紛紛棄我而去。願主曲恕其行。

『父老兄弟！聽予向爾分辨！』

亞基帕語葆樂曰：『准汝自辯。』葆樂乃舉手而辯曰：

須知予已準備舍生致命矣。予之解脫、即在目前；予之奮鬥、不為徒勞；予之行程、已告完成；予亦何幸而得篤守信德、舍命不渝。

我之蒙簡為傳報福音之宗徒、而充列邦信德上、真道上、之導師者、實亦為此明證而已。吾作此言、實屬至誠而無妄也。

務宜鎮定爾心、毋庸事先考慮、何以應答、

葆樂聲辯至此、非斯都大聲曰：『葆樂、汝狂矣！讀書太多、轉使汝狂！』

反之、彼等洞察予實受有傳福音於未割者之使命、適如伯鐸祿之傳福音於受割之人也。蓋啟發伯鐸祿、使為本國之宗徒者、主也；而啟發鄙人、使為外邦之宗徒者、亦主也。
