亦所以償吾心期、終不致有所愧忝。因是平生勇氣、至今未衰。必欲獻吾之身、以弘基督。生可也、死亦可也。

依我之企望、概無所愧、而毅然如常、今或生或死、基督將於我身丕顯、

我企望無愧、平昔諤諤、今而後、或生或死、基督將因我躬丕顯矣、

我盼望希冀、凡事無愧、惟毅然如常、無論生死、必以我身丕顯基督、

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

蓋主曾出重價以贖之矣。故爾亟宜在爾身上光榮天主也。

若為服膺基督之教而受苦、則非惟不可引以為辱、且當以此名義、歸榮於天主也。

不寧惟是、苟能有補於爾等之信德、即須傾流吾血、以作獻祭之酒、亦所甘心；且將因爾等之樂而樂焉。

即天地萬物、亦莫不如飢若渴、引領而望天主眾子之揭曉焉。

願和平之天主、躬自成全爾之聖德、保爾心靈形體之純粹無疵、以迨吾主耶穌基督之來臨。

吾儕之中、孰能為己而生、為己而死乎？蓋吾人之生也、為主而生；死也、為主而死；生為主之徒、死為主之屬、如是而已矣。且夫基督之所以死而復活者、正欲作生者死者之主宰、而黜陟幽明。

無夫者及處女、亦能專心事主、惟求神形之聖潔，有夫者則注意世故、兼欲取悅於夫矣。

須知予已準備舍生致命矣。予之解脫、即在目前；予之奮鬥、不為徒勞；予之行程、已告完成；予亦何幸而得篤守信德、舍命不渝。

亦為予祈求辯才無礙、俾能以大無畏精神、闡發福音之蘊奧。蓋我已為福音之故而成為被鍊加鎖之星使。果能不為威武所屈、侃侃而談、庶幾不辱使命、是所至願也。

吾雖稍誇吾儕之權力、亦不致有愧；惟此權力、係主所授以輔爾成立、非以致爾傾毀也。

有望則決無失望之虞矣。蓋天主之愛、已憑其所賜於吾人之聖神、而沛然傾注於吾人之心矣。

祈主恩佑。莫令望觖。

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。

恆體耶穌之死、亦欲體耶穌之生也。

葆樂曰：『何事痛泣、令我傷心？吾因主名、不第被縛、即舍身於耶路撒冷、亦所欣願。』

惟願我心。懷道惺惺。恃主不辱。保我令名。

故予樂為爾等遭受苦難、且吾身所遭受者、實足以補基督苦難之所缺也。夫教會者、基督之體也；予既為教會之公僕、則為此體親嘗其苦難、

吾雖明知爾之有知、且於爾所受之真道上亦卓爾有立、而猶不憚諄諄予爾以提撕者、蓋吾一日寓此塵宅、即一日有予爾激發之天職；且知吾之脫離此宅、即在目前、正如吾主耶穌之所預示也。不寧惟是、吾必欲使爾於吾去世以後、亦隨在留意此訓也。

此言乃預示伯鐸祿將如何致命、以光榮天主耳。言已、又諭之曰：『從予！』

今基督之死、為眾人也；則眾人之生、亦宜不復為己、而為替其受死而復活之主矣。

今予正徬徨於二者之間；衷心固願能早脫塵世、永與基督為伴；為本身計、蓋莫善於斯矣。顧為爾等計、則尤需予之暫留塵世。

感荷天主洪恩、常使吾人藉耶穌基督而得凱旋；足跡所至、莫不播揚真諦之芬芳。蓋吾人乃基督所獻於天主之馨香也；蒙救者聞焉、沉淪者亦聞焉；惟於後者實為肅殺之陰氣、而於前者則為令人永生之淑氣耳。嗚呼、誰堪負此重任乎？

而多數宗主之兄弟、因予之被囚、舉相率鼓其勇氣、再接再厲、以大無畏之精神、弘宣天主之道。

經云：『慎之哉、余以躓人之石、礙人之磐、置於西温；惟能置信者、決不失望。』顧義塞人則見躓於斯石矣。

兄弟乎、我憑天主之仁慈、剴切求爾獻身天主、而為有生之犧牲、聖潔無疵、以邀天主之悅納；此即內心事主之道也。

今茲吾靈見擾、尚復何言。父乎！盍免我經歷此時！雖然、此事之臨、正為吾完成使命、父乎、其光榮爾名！』時有音發自天上曰：『吾已榮之、將復榮之。』

然吾於生命置之度外、無所顧惜。但望能完成吾之行程、及所受於主耶穌之使命、以證天主恩寵之福音而已。

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。

亦毋將爾四肢百體、獻之於罪、以作不義之器。務須獻身於天主、一若新自死中復活也者；如是則爾之四肢百體、乃成為昭事天主之義器、

蓋曩者吾曾誇爾等之美於提多之前矣；爾等實未使我抱愧也。然則吾儕所誇耀於提多之前者、皆真實不虛、正如吾儕向爾等所直言不諱者、亦皆真實不虛也。

平生無他恃。莫教我蒙恥。勿使我仇人。向我誇優美。

群聚共商欲相傾。若輩所好惟詭譎。巧言令色亦何苦。口中祝福心中詛。
