Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

Do you disrespect God’s great kindness and favor? Do you disrespect God when he is patient with you? Don’t you realize that God’s kindness is meant to turn you away from your sins?

Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?

凡我良朋、不可不明此理。主之踐諾、人以為遲、實則不遲。主之寬忍、正為吾人之故、欲使血氣之倫、皆能悔過自新、而無一人遭受淪喪也。

若天主欲宣其威而彰其德、對於可惡可毀之器、已予百般容忍、而對於吾人預定為榮貴之器、沛加恩澤、以揚其無窮之榮、

夫天主之所以為此者、乃欲假吾人因基督耶穌而受之慈惠、以昭示其無窮之恩德於後世耳。

俾爾洞識真主；開爾靈眼、俾明聖召之希望無窮、諸聖光榮嗣業之蘊藏無限、

蓋天主使耶穌為贖罪而犧牲、俾信賴其聖血者得蒙赦宥、亦所以彰其正義耳。吾人賴天主之寬容、宿罪全銷、重負頓釋。

惟吾救主天主大發慈悲、不視人之行為、一惟彼之仁愛、藉重生之洗禮、賜吾人以救拔；因聖神之妙工、予吾人以復新。而天主之所以沛然以聖神傾注於吾人之心者、實以我救主耶穌基督之功。

吾人托庇聖子、仰賴寶血、得蒙拯贖、滌除夙穢；實憑天主之豐恩厚澤。

諸靈者、即曩在諾亞之日、心懷狐疑者也。當時忍耐等待諾亞方舟之成、而得濟於洪水者、但有八人而已。

命其弘宣於萬邦者也。斯玄妙乃無窮景福之寶庫、而光榮希望之靈淵；即寓爾心中之基督是也。

吾主之寬裕容忍、正為吾人之福、當作如是觀也。關於此點、我親愛之兄弟葆樂、亦已按其所賦之智慧、寓書於爾矣。

雖然、吾人既不隸於法而隸於恩矣、將恃恩而重蹈罪孽乎？無是理也！

耶穌既至、仰見其人、呼之曰『石開速下、今日予應宿爾家。』石開即下、欣然迎之。眾見而非議曰：『彼竟投宿罪人家耶！』石開恭立而白主曰：『主、願以家貲之半、施濟貧人、如有詐取於人者、願四倍以償。』

慈悲惟主。不易有怒。仁愛之淵。信義之府。

亦無間於猶太人與希臘人也。真主惟一、乃天下萬民之所共戴；凡有求之者、未有不被其豐恩厚澤者也。

使其團結一致於愛德之中、寖達和融瑩徹、沛然不疑之地、俾能切身體認天主之妙道而已矣。妙道無他、基督是已。

天下之人。誰無罪尤。主若深究。孰能無憂。惟主寬仁。不絕自新。悠悠人世。可不尊親。

慈懷包荒。赦其罪孽。惡雖盈貫。未予殲滅。不為已甚。聖怒屢戢。

然則吾人果持何說？將謂流連罪中、以希恩寵之發揚乎？無是理也！

倘有不肖之僕、私揣其主稽遲、因肆意毆撻其侶、且與酒徒恣食縱飲；

按其無窮之光榮、使爾內心生活、得因其聖神而自強不息、

不見天主之慈而且嚴、寬猛相濟乎？其於隕越者、亦云嚴矣；而於爾曹、亦云慈矣。

然吾之所以蒙矜憐者、蓋基督耶穌欲以我為先例、以昭示其無荒不包之雅量、庶幾後之信者、聞風而興、以承永生。

謂天主兮健忘。既揜顏兮不見。我隱惡兮奚彰。

然富於慈悲之天主、按其愛人之大德、

叮嚀斯世富人、不可驕傲；財富無常、未足恃也。所可恃者、惟天主耳。天主慨然以萬物賜予吾人、俾得充量享受者、

惟首應注意者、厥為末世必有輕薄之輩殉其私欲、而大施笑罵曰：

夫我乃諸聖中之至微者、竟亦蒙此殊恩、得在異邦人中弘宣基督不可思議之厚澤、

巍巍我主。經綸無數。陶鈞萬物。澤被寰宇。

吾知天主亦必因基督耶穌、按其無窮之蘊藏、日新之光榮饜飫爾之心願也。

嗚呼、天主之聰明睿知、不亦淵淵其淵乎哉！孰能測其思維、探其跡蹤耶？

仁恕惟主。恩澤豐盛。凡百有求。靡不見應。

識之哉、吾立於門而叩焉；如有聞吾之音而啟其戶者、吾必進而就之、且與之同食而對酌焉。

因自反曰：「父家多少傭工、皆得飽食而有餘、而吾將為他鄉之餓殍矣、吾其急起歸家、而稟父曰：「父乎、兒獲罪於天、有忝所生、今而後、不堪稱為爾子、待我如傭、足矣。」
