but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith—

The mystery has now been made known through the writings of the prophets. The eternal God commanded that it be made known. God wanted all the Gentiles to obey him by trusting in him.

but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—

But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.

but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the command of the eternal God to advance the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles—

斯道無他、即天主自始所蘊藏之玄妙、至今始顯示於諸聖、

吾人賴以蒙恩、忝列宗徒、期使萬民歸順正道、依崇聖名；

古經實已逆睹天主之將使普天萬民因信成義、故預報福音於亞伯漢曰：『天下萬民、咸將蒙休於爾懷中。』

福音者、乃天主假諸先知之口、預諾關繫其聖子之事、而見諸聖經者也。

凡經所載、皆以訓我、欲使我因研經而習忍耐、而得安慰、而修望德。

顧其昭著、則有待乎我恩主耶穌基督之降生耳。今彼已將死亡置於死地、且藉福音之道、已將永生與不朽布之於世，昭然若揭矣。

然吾亦何敢自誇；吾之所以能使異邦人歸化者、實由基督躬自成之、

此聖教乃建立於永生期望之上、而永生乃真實無妄之天主所許於萬古之前、及時昭著、而發為福音者也。予奉天主救主之命、而得以福音為己任焉。

使吾人得領略其意旨之玄奧。蓋天主夙已從心所欲、

葆樂、巴拿巴坦然答曰：『天主之道、本當先傳於爾；爾既棄之、而自絕於永生之道、吾乃轉傳於異邦。主嘗示曰：「我立爾為萬國光、普施救恩於寰宇。」』

伏願一切尊榮、永歸萬世之王、有生無死、超乎形象之唯一天主、心焉祝之。

此聖宅、以宗徒先知為基、而有耶穌基督親充隅石；

其所誦之經云：彼如羊被牽、就死無一聲。又如羔緘口、默對剪毛人。卑微蒙冤屈、公義何由伸。生命絕於地、身世復誰論。宦者問斐理伯曰：『先知斯言何指、其身乎？抑他人乎？』斐理伯乃啟口、即以此經發端、為傳耶穌福音、

於是乃囑之曰：『爾曹當徧歷寰宇、宣福音於普天生靈。

爾其往勸萬民、服膺聖教、因父及子及聖神之名、為之行洗。凡予所諭於爾者、爾亦當教之共守。予日與爾俱、迄於世末。』

主道日昌、耶路撒冷門徒大增、即司祭之中、亦多有奉教者。

眾先知亦為之證。凡信之者、必得賴其名而獲赦焉。』

耶穌又謂諸徒曰：『曩日與爾同處、予曾明言、摩西律先知書與聖詠中所載予事、悉當應驗。』遂啟其明悟、使領會經旨。復曰：『依諸經所載、基督固當受難、第三日自死者中復活、俾痛悔赦罪之道、得藉其名而傳於世、始自耶路撒冷以達萬邦。

予之拔汝於眾民萬邦者、欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」

蓋自有世以來、天主形而上之神性靈德、實可憑其所造之萬物而辨認洞見也。然則世人亦烏得而推諉乎？

今天主之正義、初不因法而彰；法與先知、不過為斯義之佐證。

然予托天主佑、至今猶屹立無恙、向天下生靈、無分貴賤大小、而作證焉。所陳者莫非古先知與摩西預言必成之事、即基督必遇害、且自死中復活。而真光之布於兆民萬邦、實以基督為始。』

耶穌基督、無今無昨、徹始徹終、而不變者也。

矧以基督無玷之身、憑聖神而自獻於天主之寶血、不更應滌吾人之良心於一切致死之行、俾得昭事永生之天主乎？

我見之、即殭仆其足前、渠以右手撫我曰：「毋懼、予乃無始之始、無終之終；

吾乃俯伏而拜之、彼止之曰：「慎莫為此！我與爾及信奉耶穌妙證之眾兄弟、皆屬同寅；爾當敬拜天主耳。蓋耶穌之妙證、實為一切預言之靈樞。」

天主曰：吾乃無始之始、無終之終、古今未來永生全能天主也。我若望為爾之同胞、與爾在耶穌懷中共受患難、同屬一國、而咸秉忍辱負重之德。吾因天主之明訓及耶穌之妙證、而被流至巴脫摩海島。值主日、我正凝思出神、忽聞大聲於我後、如吹角曰：「將爾所見、筆之於書、以寄依弗所、斯米爾納、伯爾加莫、第亞底拉、撒爾底、斐拉代爾非、樂底嘉七教會。」
