然則義塞人之躓也、將一厥而不振乎？無是理也！夫因彼之顛墜、救恩乃普及於異邦之人、是亦所以激發之耳。

我且说，他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗？断乎不是！反倒因他们的过失，救恩便临到外邦人，要激动他们发愤。

那么，我再问，他们失足是要他们跌倒吗？绝对不是！因他们的过犯，救恩反而临到外邦人，要激起他们嫉妒的心。

那么，我再问，他们失足是要他们跌倒吗？绝对不是！因他们的过犯，救恩反而临到外邦人，要激起他们嫉妒的心。

那么，以色列人一失足就再也爬不起来了吗？当然不是！恰好相反，因他们的过犯，救恩临到了外族人，使他们心生嫉妒。

那么我要说，他们失足是要倒下去吗？绝对不是！反而因为他们的过犯，救恩就临到外族人，为了要激起他们奋发。

所以我要问，难道以色列人跌倒了，是要他们败落吗？绝对不是！相反，因他们的过犯，救恩就临到了外邦人，为要激起以色列人的嫉妒之心。

我且說，他們失腳是要他們跌倒嗎？斷乎不是！反倒因他們的過失，救恩便臨到外邦人，要激動他們發憤。

那麼，我再問，他們失足是要他們跌倒嗎？絕對不是！因他們的過犯，救恩反而臨到外邦人，要激起他們嫉妒的心。

那麼我要說，他們失足是要倒下去嗎？絕對不是！反而因為他們的過犯，救恩就臨到外族人，為了要激起他們奮發。

那麼我要說，難道他們猶太人失了腳，是要全然跌倒麼？斷乎不是。我乃是說，因他們的過犯、拯救便臨到了外國人，好激動他們的羨妒。

所以我要問，難道以色列人跌倒了，是要他們敗落嗎？絕對不是！相反，因他們的過犯，救恩就臨到了外邦人，為要激起以色列人的嫉妒之心。

然則彼蹶至於傾陷乎、非也、乃以其過犯而拯及異邦、致發其憤也、

曰、以色列人、豈蹶而躓歟、曰、非也、然彼躓、異邦人乃得救、使以色列人發奮、

我曰、以色列人躓蹶、以致傾仆乎、非也、乃因其躓蹶、躓蹶原文作過失下同異邦人得救、而使以色列人發奮、

Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

Again, here is what I ask. The Israelites didn’t trip and fall once and for all time, did they? Not at all! Because Israel sinned, the Gentiles can be saved. That will make Israel jealous of them.

So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

Did God’s people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.

I ask, then, have they stumbled so as to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? Far from it! But by their wrongdoing salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.

I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

I ask, then, have they stumbled in order to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but[ rather] through their fall salvation[ is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

然則義塞人果未悟耶？摩西書曰：『吾將子異民、使爾激勵；子頑民、使爾發憤。』

然苟有可以激發吾之同胞骨肉、而拯救若干人於淪亡者、正吾之所以忠於厥職耳。

葆樂、巴拿巴坦然答曰：『天主之道、本當先傳於爾；爾既棄之、而自絕於永生之道、吾乃轉傳於異邦。主嘗示曰：「我立爾為萬國光、普施救恩於寰宇。」』異邦人聞此、無不竊喜、頌揚主道；凡受命能得永生者、翕然起信、

然則吾豈謂天主已棄絕其子民乎？無是理也！即吾本人亦為義塞人、乃亞伯漢之苗裔、而出於便雅明之支派者也。

若其顛墜而成舉世之福、其隕越而為萬邦之利、則其復興之為福更當何如！

若輩今雖未順、亦當緣爾曹之蒙矜恤、而蒙矜恤也。

猶太人拒而誚之；葆樂拂衣曰：『爾罪自承、予也何咎！自此吾適異邦矣！』

彼之所說、有信者、有不信者；彼等所見未能一致、遂散。然其未散之前、葆樂曾為一言曰：『善夫聖神藉先知意灑雅向我祖之所言也！其言曰：「往告斯民曰、爾聽而不悟、視而不見；蓋斯民之心、已冥頑不靈、厥耳不聰、厥目不明、一若惟恐其目之有見、耳之有聞、心之有悟、幡然回頭而蒙救於予也！」故汝等當知天主已將此救恩傳諸異邦人、彼等且必聽信。』

見主語予曰：「速離耶路撒冷、勿延；以汝為予作證、其人必不領受。」予曰：「主乎、彼等詎不知予前曾將信主者置於獄中、又於各會堂中侮辱而鞭撻之；且主之證人司諦文遇害流血時、予亦在場、顧而樂之、並為兇手守衣焉。」主曰：「去！予將遣汝遠適異邦。」』眾聞彼陳述至此、高呼曰：『此人實無可生之理、地所不載、盍共除之！』

當葆樂等之出、眾請於次一禮日重臨佈道。
