當諭此世之富者、心勿傲、無定之財勿恃、惟賴永生上帝、洪賜我眾、百物以享之、

苟圖富有、陷誘惑、罹羅網、溺於無理有害之欲、終必沉淪、好利為萬惡根、有人慕之、則背於道、以多苦自刺、

而斯世之憧擾、貨財之迷惑、嗜欲之萌動、蔽其道而不實、

有遺棘中者、棘同生而蔽之、

一人事二主者、未之有也、或惡此愛彼、或重此輕彼、爾不能事上帝、又事財貨也、我語汝、勿慮生何以食、何以飲、身何以衣、生非大於糧、身不大於衣乎、

播於棘中者、猶人聽道、此世之憧擾、貨財之迷惑、蔽其道而不實、

如挪亞時、其人飲食、嫁娶、迨挪亞入方舟之日、洪水至而湮眾、人子之日亦然、如羅得時、其人飲食貿易、樹蓺搆造、迨羅得出所多馬之日、天雨火硫而滅眾、人子顯日亦如是、

乃設譬曰、有植無花果樹於葡萄園者、至而求果不得、語園丁曰、我三年來、求果弗得、不如斫之、無使曠土、對曰、主、今歲且容之、待我周掘壅糞、或可結果、不然、斫之、○

自當謹慎、勿以饜飫沉湎、世之憧擾累心、恐其日突然臨爾、

耶穌見其憂甚、曰、有財者、入上帝國、難矣哉、駝入針孔、較富人入上帝國、尤易也、

一僕不能事二主、或惡此愛彼、或重此輕彼、爾不能事上帝、又事貨財也、○

人不在我、猶枝離樹而槁、拾之委火焚矣、
