天主賜我以聖寵、得充大匠、而奠其基；惟在基上建築其房屋者、固另有人在；但望其人善為建築而已、

我照神所给我的恩，好像一个聪明的工头，立好了根基，有别人在上面建造；只是各人要谨慎怎样在上面建造。

蓋元基已奠、孰能捨而另植、元基惟一、基督耶穌是已。

凡任宣講者、當講述聖道、一若為天主之舌人者；其任服務者、則當依天主所賦之才力、儘量貢獻。總之、任作何事、務求以耶穌基督之名、歸榮天主。但願天主享受光榮與德能、永世靡暨、心焉祝之。

吾之傳道、特選未聞基督聖名之各地、以免建築於他人之基上。

吾憑所受聖寵、勸爾人人、切弗自估過高、務須各依天主所賦之信德平心自衡。

此聖宅、以宗徒先知為基、而有耶穌基督親充隅石；

即於他人為非宗徒、於爾曹予固宗徒也。蓋爾曹之歸主、即吾為宗徒之佐證、

設有忠智之僕、受家主之託、督其家人、按時給食；

兄弟中多有好為人師者、是亦謬甚。應知為師者、責任最重。

是以爾當省察、莫令爾之心光、轉成昏昧也。

寄語亞吉布、務出全力勉盡天主所寄之任。

是以聞道而能篤實履踐者、譬諸有識者建屋於磐石之上、

若輩偽宗徒冒基督宗徒之名、而行其欺詐之實。然此不足為奇；即沙殫亦嘗冒充光明之天神、則其僕之冒充正義之僕、不亦宜乎！惟若輩必依其所作之孽、而受報應也。

夫亞波羅何人耶？葆樂何人耶？不過天主之僕、銜主之命、各盡其能、以使爾等信奉真道者耳。我種植之、亞波羅從而灌溉之；而使其發榮滋長者、則天主也。

吾之得有今日、皆賴天主之寵佑；惟予黽勉勞苦、視他人有過無不及、則未辜負天主之寵佑也。雖然、是亦天主寵佑而已、初非予之功也。要之、無論在吾、或在其他宗徒吾人所傳者同、爾等所信者同也。既傳基督自死者中復活矣、則爾中何尚有人主張死者無復活乎？

今我不揣冒昧、坦率作書者、第欲供爾等以備忘錄耳。且吾既蒙天主之恩寵、

邑有基址十二、上書羔羊十二宗徒之名。

務求己立立人、己達達人、戰戰兢兢、始終如一；如此方能自救、而救聽眾也。

然適如昔日之有偽先知起自民間、將來爾中亦必有荒誕之師、潛播異端、陷溺人心、乃至忘恩負義、否認其贖身之主、於以自速其亡。且必有多人與之推波助瀾、同流合污、以致真諦妙道、因斯輩之故、為世詬病。斯輩貪污成性、巧言如簧、以爾等為營利之具。若而人者、罪案夙定。天網恢恢、固無所逃於天地間也。

曰『爾其慎旃！毋為所惑！必有多人冒予名而來曰：「我即是也、時已近矣。」切勿從之！

十二基址、各飾不同之寶石：一碧玉二青玉、三玉髓、四翡翠、

此吾所為不辭勞苦一恃天主施於我躬之神力、而奮鬥者也。

吾儕亦未過份自誇、而貪他人之功以為己功也。但望爾等之信德、與日俱長；庶幾吾儕之範圍、亦得賴以擴張、

嗣亞波羅欲赴亞該亞、同道贊勉、並為致書諸徒、囑加款接。比至、藉其靈賦、裨益信徒、實非淺鮮。

以及其他違悖正道者而設也。正道者何、即全德天主光榮之福音是已；而予則受斯重寄焉。竊思基督耶穌以吾為忠實之徒、令供斯役、且予我以扶植、賜我以神力；此恩此德、昊天罔極。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。今則吾主之聖寵、沛然充溢、膏澤吾身、俾我得仰體基督之心、信德愛德、日充日新。

吾人賴以蒙恩、忝列宗徒、期使萬民歸順正道、依崇聖名；

汝當努力善操聖道莫使失真、庶幾不愧為天主所悅之良工。

天主為爾等之益、授我以宣恩萬邦之重寄、爾等諒有所聞也。我蒙特達之啟示、得悉天主奧旨；此於本書前段、已約略述及、爾等讀之、即可見吾於基督之玄妙、實有所悟矣。自有世以來、斯玄妙之旨、未曾啟迪於人。今則已因聖神而明示其諸聖宗徒、及先知先覺之人矣。斯旨無他、即因福音之傳、而萬邦之人、已得於基督耶穌庇蔭之下、同為嗣子、融成一體、共享恩諾是已。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、
