蓋為奴而蒙主之召、在主已為自由之人矣；自由之人而蒙召者、亦為基督之奴矣。

因为作奴仆蒙召于主的，就是主所释放的人；作自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴仆。

因为，蒙主呼召的奴仆是主所释放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴仆。

因为，蒙主呼召的奴仆是主所释放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴仆。

因为，如果你蒙召信主时是奴隶，现在则是主的自由人；如果你蒙召时是自由人，现在则是基督的奴仆。

因为作奴仆的蒙了主的呼召，就是属于主的自由人了；照样，自由的人蒙了呼召，他就是基督的奴仆了。

要知道，做奴仆时在主里蒙召的，就是主的自由人；同样，做自由人时蒙召的，就是基督的奴仆。

因為作奴僕蒙召於主的，就是主所釋放的人；作自由之人蒙召的，就是基督的奴僕。

因為，蒙主呼召的奴僕是主所釋放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴僕。

因為，蒙主呼召的奴僕是主所釋放的人；蒙主呼召的自由之人是基督的奴僕。

因為，如果你蒙召信主時是奴隸，現在則是主的自由人；如果你蒙召時是自由人，現在則是基督的奴僕。

因為作奴僕的蒙了主的呼召，就是屬於主的自由人了；照樣，自由的人蒙了呼召，他就是基督的奴僕了。

做奴僕而在主裏蒙召的、就是主的釋放奴；同樣的，自主人蒙召的、也是基督的奴僕。

要知道，做奴僕時在主裡蒙召的，就是主的自由人；同樣，做自由人時蒙召的，就是基督的奴僕。

蓋為奴而見召於主、則為主所釋、自由而見召、則為基督之奴、

凡為人奴、宗主而見召、是主釋之、不為人奴而見召、是為基督僕、

蓋為人奴而蒙召以信主、乃主所釋者、不為人奴而蒙召、乃為基督之奴、

For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.

The person who was a slave when the Lord chose them is now the Lord’s free person. The one who was free when God chose them is now a slave of Christ.

For he who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is a freedman of the Lord. Likewise he who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ.

And remember, if you were a slave when the Lord called you, you are now free in the Lord. And if you were free when the Lord called you, you are now a slave of Christ.

For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave, is the Lord’s freed person; likewise the one who was called as free, is Christ’s slave.

For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave.

For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ’s bondservant.

For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.

For he that is called in the Lord,[ being] a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called,[ being] free, is Christ’s servant.

For the one who was called in the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. In the same way, the one who was called as a free person is Christ’s slave.

For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.

爾固宜為自由之人、胸中灑脫、無所拘礙；然萬勿以自由為名、而行其放縱恣肆、犯上作亂之實。當為天主之忠僕、

且昔為家奴、今為兄弟、豈不更美；此在予猶然、況在爾等本屬一家、今又共宗一主、愈當相親相愛矣。

既脫諸敵、俾我無懼、無懼如何、安心事主；兢兢業業、聖道是步；

為奴者應服從其世俗之主人、一切惟命、毋陽奉陰違、一如專務取悅於人者之所為、務宜表裏如一；畏主故也。總之、爾等凡有所為、應由衷而行、所以為主也、非為人也。應知惟主能賜爾以所望之洪基。尚其一心奉事主基督；

葆樂、耶穌基督之僕、蒙召為宗徒、而負有宣傳天主福音之使命。

今兄弟等已蒙召而獲自由矣惟勿以自由為名、而行其放縱恣肆之實；務望以仁愛之精神、而彼此互相服務也。

殷勤啟吾主。我乃爾之僕。爾僕誰家子。出爾婢女腹。我今獲自由。主實解其縛。

耶穌基督之僕、雅谷伯之弟、樹德、致書於天主聖父所垂愛、耶穌基督所庇護之諸蒙召者曰：

既脫於罪、則為正義之僕矣。今爾等靈修未深、請以庸言明之。正如爾等曩日曾以爾之四肢百體、為邪淫不法之僕、以滋罪惡；今望爾等以四肢百體、為正義之僕、以登聖域也。蓋當爾為罪之僕、於正義則漫無約束。試一思之、爾昔日所行、今日所恥之種切、於爾究有何益？死亡為其必然之結果！今既從罪中解放、而獲自由、且為天主之僕矣、則應勉結聖德之果、而止於永生。

吾豈欲迎合世俗乎？抑求悅於天主乎？吾又焉能閹然而媚世乎？閹然媚世、則不得為基督之僕矣。

爾之同鄉、基督之僕、伊伯弗拉、亦祝爾平安。此君在祈禱中、恆為爾等祈求、使爾等在天主聖意之中、確立不移、廓然無疑、俾成完人。

為奴僕者、當服從斯世之主人、一如服從基督、戰戰兢兢、表裡如一、毋陽奉陰違、貌合神離、專以取悅於人為務；當如基督之奴僕、一本赤誠、奉行天主之旨、

夫吾乃自由之人、眾人不得而奴焉；顧甘自為眾人之奴者何也、亦欲感化眾人、使最大多數棄邪歸正而已矣。

夫基督之予吾人以解放也、其非欲吾人享受自由乎？故吾儕當確立不移、不宜妄自菲薄、復入奴隸之軛也。

且必能了悟真理、而真理必使爾為自由之人矣。』若輩應曰：『吾輩乃亞伯漢之子孫、未嘗見奴於人、爾亦安得曰：「吾人將獲自由」乎？』耶穌對曰：『予剴切語爾、凡犯罪者、即罪之奴、夫為奴者、不能常留宅中、惟為子者、得常住焉。倘為子者肯賜爾自由、爾則真獲自由矣。

耶穌基督之僕兼宗徒、西門、伯鐸祿、致書於因我天主救主耶穌基督之仁義而與我輩一體共承無上之寶信者曰：
