不見天主之慈而且嚴、寬猛相濟乎？其於隕越者、亦云嚴矣；而於爾曹、亦云慈矣。

試觀上帝之慈與嚴、於傾者則嚴、於爾則慈、惟宜恆於其慈、否則亦必見斫矣、

試思上帝慈而嚴、視彼撥者固嚴、視乎爾者則慈、爾當常懷其慈、否則見折矣、

試觀天主之慈與嚴、於彼傾仆者則嚴、於爾則慈、惟爾賴其慈、否則爾亦必見折、

Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

Think about how kind God is! Also think about how firm he is! He was hard on those who stopped following him. But he is kind to you. So you must continue to live in his kindness. If you don’t, you also will be cut off.

Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.

Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you— if you remain in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

See then the kindness and severity of God: to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; for otherwise you too will be cut off.

Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you— if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in[ his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God– harshness toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness toward you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

應知吾人能堅信不渝、始終如一、則與基督融為一體矣。

枝之在我、而不結實者、彼則截之；其結實者、彼則裁之、使結實彌茂。

惟基督則為嗣子乃聖宅之主人也。聖宅者何、吾人是已；亦在吾人常存蓬勃之朝氣、與夫浩然之望德、堅忍不拔、莫負初心而已矣。

爾能恪守福音、如吾所傳、則蒙救也必矣。若是而不蒙救者、其惟所信者妄歟？

尤宜確乎不拔、堅守吾人所共抱之望德。蓋天主言出惟行、有諾必信也。

吾人但須努力耕耘、為善有恆、始終不渝、時既成熟、必有收穫。

耶穌因謂之曰：『爾能恪守吾道、是真吾徒、

惟望毋失勇毅之氣、必有厚報。蓋欲奉行天主之旨而獲所諾、則耐德尚矣。『尚待片晷、須臾之間、彈指之頃、而將臨者自至、其必不復稽延矣！然『為吾之忠僕者、當恃信德而生；若畏首畏尾、非吾心所喜。』吾人則非畏首畏尾、終致淪亡之徒也；乃浩然不疑、自求靈祉之人也。

爾等如能確乎不拔、抱主以終、則吾儕之生機煥發矣。

亟宜反省何由而致墮落、從頭悔改、反爾初服。不然、吾必蒞臨爾處、移奪爾檠、莫謂言之不豫也。

抑爾藐視天主之大仁大慈、寬容忍耐、而不知其涵宏寬大之所以啟人悔悟乎？今爾剛愎自用、無悛於心、祇為積愆干怒；其時既至、必遭天主之譴怒。

【啟】海水復合。法老喪身。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】引我登陸。平沙無垠。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】世之牧伯。受主痛懲。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】赫赫侯王。紛紛伏刑。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】亞摩之君。名曰西宏。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】巴珊王噩。遄赴幽冥。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】固有疆域。歸我所承。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。【啟】惟我義塞。實主之臣。【應】慈恩不匱。萬古和春。

勸眾堅心、信道勿移、曰：『吾人欲入天主之國、必須經歷多難。』

既至、睹天主恩寵、為之欣然、勸眾堅志、依主不回。

其落沃土者、言人既以光明正大之心聞道、且能守之以誠、持之以恆、堅忍不拔、終乃結實。

束荊炊釜。半焦半青。旋風倏至。掃蕩廓清。使善人覩之而欣欣兮。濯其足於群姦之血。

毋思吾輩有亞伯漢為我祖先；蓋吾語爾、天主全能、即欲化此頑石為亞伯漢之子孫、亦易如反掌耳。方今斧斤已加於樹根、凡不結嘉實之樹、必伐而投諸火中。

願我愛友、黽勉自勵；於爾神聖之信仰上、好自建立；常憑聖神之默感、以祈以禱；庶克長遊於天主聖愛之中、而望我主耶穌基督加以慈惠、賜以常生。

厥怒奮揚。厥氣震烈。降災無算。百神施罰。天怒暢遂。降彼癘疫。埃及全境。盡喪冢息。哈苗之營。壯丁絕跡。惟於吾族。寵命獨降。牧之如羊。曠野之中。

若天主欲宣其威而彰其德、對於可惡可毀之器、已予百般容忍、而對於吾人預定為榮貴之器、沛加恩澤、以揚其無窮之榮、

為善有恆、追求真光榮、真不朽者、報以永生、

尚望恆寓吾內、俾吾亦得恆寓爾內。枝脫樹不能結實；爾離我、亦無以結實。吾為樹身、爾為樹枝。凡寓乎吾身、而有我寓乎其衷者、必結實繁多。離乎吾、爾將一無所能。人而不寓吾內、則如枝之被棄而槁、人將拾之、舉以供爨矣。爾若恆與吾俱、而吾道恆存乎爾、則爾凡有所求、必得如願以償。爾等能有賁其實、則不愧為吾徒、而吾父之光榮、即在斯矣！吾以父之所以愛我者愛爾。爾其勉旃、恆保吾愛。爾能守吾之誡、所以保吾之愛也；正如吾守吾父之誡、而至今猶保其愛焉。

因此吾迫不及待、儘先遣人探訪、藉欲知爾信德、深恐誘人之物乘間誘爾、則我等之所為孳孳不倦者、盡付東流矣。
