雖似無聞、而實則闇然日章也；雖似將死、而實則生氣蓬勃也；雖似受刑、而實則真我無恙也；

似乎不为人所知，却是人所共知的；似乎要死，却是活着的；似乎受责罚，却是不至丧命的；

似乎不为人所知，却是人所共知；似乎是死了，却是活着；似乎受惩罚，却没有被处死；

似乎不为人所知，却是人所共知；似乎是死了，却是活着；似乎受惩罚，却没有被处死；

似乎默默无闻，却是家喻户晓；似乎快死了，看啊！我们却仍然活着；受严刑拷打，却没有丧命；

好像是人所不知的，却是人所共知的；好像是必死的，你看，我们却是活着的；好像是受惩罚的，却没有处死；

像是人所不知的，却是人所共知的；像是快要死的，可是看哪，我们是活着的；像是受惩罚的，却是不被治死；

似乎不為人所知，卻是人所共知的；似乎要死，卻是活着的；似乎受責罰，卻是不致喪命的；

似乎不為人所知，卻是人所共知；似乎是死了，卻是活着；似乎受懲罰，卻沒有被處死；

似乎不為人所知，卻是人所共知；似乎是死了，卻是活着；似乎受懲罰，卻沒有被處死；

似乎默默無聞，卻是家喻戶曉；似乎快死了，看啊！我們卻仍然活著；受嚴刑拷打，卻沒有喪命；

好像是人所不知的，卻是人所共知的；好像是必死的，你看，我們卻是活著的；好像是受懲罰的，卻沒有處死；

似乎是人所不知，卻是人所共知的；似乎正在死，你看，我們卻活着呢；似乎受懲罰管教，卻沒有被處死；

像是人所不知的，卻是人所共知的；像是快要死的，可是看哪，我們是活著的；像是受懲罰的，卻是不被治死；

似人不知而見知、似瀕死而實生、似受譴而弗亡、

似人不知而眾知、似死而實生、似受譴而弗亡、

似不為人知而眾知、似死而猶生、似受責而不致死、

known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;

We are known, but people treat us as if we were unknown. We are dying, but we continue to live. We are beaten, but we are not killed.

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;

We are ignored, even though we are well known. We live close to death, but we are still alive. We have been beaten, but we have not been killed.

as unknown, yet recognized; as dying, yet see— we live; as being disciplined, yet not killed;

as unknown and yet well known, as dying and yet behold, we are alive; as punished and yet not put to death,

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed;

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

as unknown yet recognized; as dying and look— we live; as being disciplined yet not killed;

As unknown, and[ yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

as unknown, and yet well- known; as dying and yet– see!– we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed;

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;

恆體耶穌之死、亦欲體耶穌之生也。蓋吾人雖有生、實無時不為耶穌而死、庶幾吾人血肉之軀、亦得載耶穌之生、而顯揚之耳。

蓋天主已使我輩為其宗徒者、似成為最卑賤之人、一若擬死之囚、又似優伶演劇於世、以博人神之一笑者。

詩云：『正惟為主故、吾人日見殺；一如屠家羊默默待宰割。』

吾儕在亞西亞所遭遇之患難、不欲兄弟不之知也。當時吾儕所受之困阨、實非人力之所能當者、且自謂必不能倖免矣。然吾人之所以被處於絕境、以至於自分必死者、乃欲吾人勿恃本身之力量、而恃起死回生之天主耳。天主既脫吾儕於萬死、且至今猶時時予以保障、故吾儕將一切希望託付於主、深信其必保障到底。

吾雖拙於辭令、要非疏於學識者；此固爾等之所洞悉也。

關於是人、予無確切事實可奏明皇上、以是特在爾眾之前提審、且特提在我亞基帕王前、冀於法訊之後、有所奏明。

毅然棄絕一切暗昧可恥之事、不行巧詐、不貶損天主之道、惟知在天主明鑒之下、藉真理之昌明、而自致於各人之良知而已。

乃彼葆樂、不第於依法所、且幾遍亞細亞、勸阻多人、謂人手所製者非神、此汝等所見所聞也。

惟假吾之手而已。或以言語、或以行為、或以聖蹟、異能、何一非聖神之妙工乎？吾傳基督福音、足跡已遍耶路撒冷及其周圍之地、直達伊利利亞。

僅為宗教上之爭執、實非予所逆料也。不過葆樂肯定有一耶穌、死而復生而已。

吾人既知畏之、不敢不勉人以善。吾人之肺腑、悉在天主洞察之中；深信爾等亦必能心領吾人之丹忱也。

爾時猶太宗奉基督之諸教會、與予素無一面之緣；第聞昔日之逼辱同人、摧殘聖道者、今已憣然歸正、而弘揚聖道矣；莫不因予之故、而歸榮天主。

勾留多日。非斯都以葆樂事告王曰：『此處有一人、乃裴力斯所留於獄中者；予在耶路撒冷時司祭長及猶太之長老控之、請定其罪；

兄弟乎、爾等非我在耶穌基督身上之光榮乎？吾敢憑斯光榮而誓曰：我實無日不處死地。

更有以彼古羅及斯多亞派哲學家數人起而與之詰辯。或曰：『此喋喋者、果欲何言？』或曰：『似宣傳異邦之鬼神者。』以葆樂言必稱耶穌及其復活、故云。

主之右手。能作能為。我既得生。宜宣主威。主之懲我。允其厲矣。未至於死。亦其慈矣。

將入營、葆樂謂千總曰：『欲有所陳、可乎？』千總曰：『爾諳希臘語耶？然則爾非曩昔為亂、率暴徒四千人、奔赴曠野之埃及人矣。』

然今之受罪、即主之所以鍛鍊吾人、以免與世同科耳。
