Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

We don’t give up. Our bodies are becoming weaker and weaker. But our spirits are being renewed day by day.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.

Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

而易以新人矣。是宜日新又新、止於良知、而克肖作育新人之主也。

若依吾內心、吾固以天主之法為樂也。

吾人既蒙洪恩、而負此使命、故中心不餒、

弗可閹然媚世、希俗取容；務求變化氣質、重建新心。蓋惟如此、方能體驗天主盡善盡美之聖意耳。

按其無窮之光榮、使爾內心生活、得因其聖神而自強不息、

不視人之行為、一惟彼之仁愛、藉重生之洗禮、賜吾人以救拔；

深信在人世。重得見春光。

務當以昨死今生之精神、易以新我。

身心雖枯竭。靈魂永有託。

惟修養內心、以溫柔嫻靜之精神為飾、則可大可久、天主所珍也。

故望我親愛之兄弟確乎不拔、屹然不動、恆在主之工作中發榮滋長、蔚為大觀；固知爾在主中所有艱辛困苦、不為徒勞耳。

吾為爾等靈魂之故、固不惜任何之犧牲、即犧牲本身、亦所甘心。豈吾之愛爾愈厚、而爾之愛我愈薄耶？

錫我天樂。枯骨回春。

吾魂盼主。惄如調飢。

求爾以吾人所需之食糧、逐日見賜、

若爾右目使爾陷罪、應抉而棄之；寧喪百體之一、莫使全身投於冥獄也。若爾右足使爾陷罪、應斷而棄之；與其全身投於冥獄、不如喪失一肢之為愈也。
