是致生之誡、適以致死、

是誡本為致生、反致我死、

夫誡命所以躋我於生也、結果反以致我於死者、何也？

在摩西言恃法稱義者、曰、遵此則得生、

如遵我法度、守我禮儀、則可得生、爾當行之勿失、此我所命爾者也。○

子孫背我、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、如有人守我法度、則可保生、惟彼不守、故我自謂、必在曠野、震怒斯眾、滅之務盡。

俾知我禮儀法度、有人遵從、則可得生、

對曰、當盡心、盡性、盡力、盡意、愛主爾之上帝、亦愛鄰如己、曰爾之言然、行此則生、彼欲自稱為義、謂耶穌曰、誰為我鄰、

昔摩西面暫榮、以色列人不能注目視彼、夫以舊典致死之法鐫諸石、其榮且如此、

律法不以人信而得生、惟曰、遵此則得生、

然以色列族在曠野、違逆乎我、不遵我禮儀、犯我安息日、浸假有人守我法度、則可保生、惟彼藐視之、故我自謂、必在曠野、震怒斯眾、滅之務盡。
