吾人既蒙洪恩、而負此使命、故中心不餒、

我们既然蒙怜悯，受了这职分，就不丧胆，

所以，既然我们蒙怜悯受了这事奉的责任，就不丧胆，

所以，既然我们蒙怜悯受了这事奉的责任，就不丧胆，

我们既蒙怜悯，接受了这传福音的职分，就决不气馁。

所以，我们既然蒙了怜悯，得着这职分，就不沮丧，

所以，我们既然得了这服事的工作，正如我们蒙了怜悯，我们就不丧胆；

我們既然蒙憐憫，受了這職分，就不喪膽，

所以，既然我們蒙憐憫受了這事奉的責任，就不喪膽，

所以，我們既然蒙了憐憫，得著這職分，就不沮喪，

故此我們既照所蒙的憐憫有這執事的職分，就不喪志；

所以，我們既然得了這服事的工作，正如我們蒙了憐憫，我們就不喪膽；

故我儕既蒙矜恤、而受此役、則不餒、

我儕沾主恩、而受此職、故不懦、

我儕既蒙主恩、而受此職、故心不怯、

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.

So because of God’s mercy, we have work to do. He has given it to us. And we don’t give up.

Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up.

Therefore, since we have this ministry because we were shown mercy, we do not give up.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:

同時望我兄弟繼續為善、孳孳不倦。

故望爾等勿因吾為爾受難、而頹然沮喪。應知吾之受難、爾亦與有榮焉。

吾人但須努力耕耘、為善有恆、始終不渝、時既成熟、必有收穫。

天主運用其大能、賜我恩寵、令我得供役於福音。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、

對於童貞者、吾未承主諭、惟吾既飽受主恩、自當忠實相告。

總之、予恃全能之主、故能應付萬變、遊刃有餘耳。

且能忍辱負重、為吾之名、任勞任怨、曾無懈意、此可嘉也。

不寧惟是、使吾儕足以任新約之役者、亦惟天主而已。此約也、非本乎文字、乃本乎聖神。蓋文字乃肅殺之具、而聖神則生命之源也。

因此吾人中心不餒；外形雖萎、而靈心則日新又新矣。

而甘嘗垢辱、毅然肩負苦架。今則安坐天主寶位之右矣。爾等當細心體驗、耶穌當時如何忍受群小之拂逆、庶幾不致灰心而自餒。

我本為褻瀆天主、摧殘教會、倨傲無禮之人、而竟蒙天主之矜憐者、蓋以我當時未有信德、盲目而行耳。

凡此皆天主之所賜也。天主既藉基督賜吾人復得承歡、又賜吾儕參贊重歡之事。

爾等昔日不成民族、今乃成為天主之民矣；昔日未蒙矜憐、今則已蒙矜憐矣。

吾人既具偌大之希望、故光明磊落、直言無諱、
