然敬虔而知足、其利大矣、蓋我儕入世、無所攜來、逝世亦無所攜去、惟有衣食即當知足、圖富有者、乃陷於誘惑機檻、及無知有害之諸慾、溺人於滅亡者也、

勿好利、以爾所有為足、蓋上帝嘗云、我必不棄爾、不遺爾也、如是我儕毅然曰、主乃我助、我無所畏、人其如我何、○

故勿慮何以食、何以飲、何以衣、此皆異邦人所求、爾天父知爾悉需之、惟先於其國其義是求、則此悉加諸爾、故勿為明日慮、明日之慮、明日慮之、是日之勞、是日足矣、

我誠以萬事為損、因識我主基督耶穌為更美、且為彼已損萬事、視為糞土、致可得乎基督、而恆在其中、

上帝能沛諸恩於爾、令爾萬事恆足、溢於諸善、

爾知我主耶穌基督之恩、彼原富、為爾而致貧、使爾由其貧而致富、

蓋人在縲絏、爾體恤之、人奪爾業、爾喜聽之、因知有愈美恆存之業也、

似憂而常樂、似貧而富眾、似無有而無不有、○

迄今我儕飢渴、裹體受撻、靡有定處、且服勞躬親操作、見詬則祝、遇窘則忍、

勞而苦、屢廢寢、飢而渴、屢絕食、寒而裸、

有軍士問曰、我當何為、曰、毋強暴、毋誣詐、惟安爾餉、○

雅各許願曰、如上帝偕我、佑我於所行之路、賜我以衣食、

摩西願與偕居、其人以女西坡拉妻之、
