時有先知數人自耶路撒冷來安提阿、其一名亞迦布者、起立、感於聖神、預示舉世將有大饑。此事後果見驗於克老第朝。於是門徒各盡所能、捐貲以濟猶太之兄弟、乃託巴拿巴及掃羅齎送諸長老。

吾儕茲可告慰於爾等者、乃天主所賜於馬其頓諸聖會之恩寵也。彼等雖艱苦備嘗、而神樂恆湧於心中；貧窮至極、而熱情獨異乎尋常；慷慨輸將、惟力是視、甚有超過其力量者；此吾可為之作證也。彼等且再三懇求吾儕、准其同享賑濟聖徒之特恩；而尤使吾儕喜出望外者、則彼等先獻身於主、而後秉承聖意以為吾儕效勞也。以是吾儕亦鼓勵提多繼續向爾等勸募、俾成爾等之美德。爾等既富於信德、口才、智慧、熱心、及友愛矣、則於慈善之美德、寧可後人耶？吾作此言、非命令也、乃欲藉他人之熱情、一測爾等愛德之深淺耳。吾主耶穌基督之慷慨、固爾等之所知也。彼乃萬有之主也、顧為爾等之故、甘成貧窮、俾爾等因彼之貧窮、而成富有。

又有囑者、學道之人、務須與教導者通其有無。幸毋自誤、天主不可罔也。人之所種、必收其果。凡播種於慾田者、必於慾田穫朽腐之果；而播種於靈田者、則於靈田穫常生之果。吾人但須努力耕耘、為善有恆、始終不渝、時既成熟、必有收穫。是故吾人亟應隨機為有益於人之事、而尤以扶助同道中人、為當務之急也。

王將謂之曰：「吾實語爾、爾所施於我兄弟中之至微者、即施之於我身也。」

葆樂夜得異象、見一馬其頓人立而請曰：『駕臨馬其頓、以助吾人！』

斯德法一家、乃亞該亞之首先奉教者、專心為聖教服務、此兄弟之所知也。

惟宴請貧乏殘廢跛瞽之儔、乃為真福。

耶穌舉目視諸徒曰：『福哉爾貧者、天國爾曹屬。

及迦流為亞該亞方伯、猶太人群起而攻葆樂、曳之公庭曰：

爾曹恆有貧人與俱、然予則非爾曹所得而長留。

蓋吾深知爾等急公好義、且予曾以此誇獎爾等於馬其頓人曰：『亞該亞於一年前已發此心。』此間人士、為爾等之熱心所激發者、亦復不少。

是則此項善舉不僅補聖徒之不足、抑且使眾心感謝天主、於以增益天主之光榮。

蓋爾之確信吾主耶穌、篤愛眾聖、時有所聞；

親愛之兄弟、爾其諦聽、斯世之貧人、乃天主之所眷顧、使其富於信德、而簡為天國之嗣子。蓋天國特為愛慕天主之人而設也。而爾等竟敢輕慢貧人！夫富人非即以勢凌爾、扭爾以至公庭者乎？
