He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

夫天主之救拔吾人、而授吾人以聖召者、初不憑吾人之功績、乃憑其自己之聖意、與夫在基督耶穌身上、夙所賜於吾人之聖寵也。蓋此聖寵之授予、實在萬世以前；顧其昭著、則有待乎我恩主耶穌基督之降生耳。今彼已將死亡置於死地、且藉福音之道、已將永生與不朽布之於世，昭然若揭矣。

天主於創世以前、夙在基督之身、予吾人以恩簡、俾吾人得成聖潔無瑕、對越所天。

不然、創世以來基督之受苦難、將不勝其頻繁矣。實則在茲季世，基督方始降世、自作一勞永逸之祭獻、以除免世罪耳。

凡厥名自創世以來未錄於被宰羔羊之生命冊者、咸將翕然、景仰此獸。

此聖教乃建立於永生期望之上、而永生乃真實無妄之天主所許於萬古之前、及時昭著、而發為福音者也。予奉天主救主之命、而得以福音為己任焉。

斯道無他、即天主自始所蘊藏之玄妙、至今始顯示於諸聖、

值茲末世、乃遣其聖子以曉諭吾人。聖子者、天主所立為承受萬有之嗣、所憑以締造宇宙之道、

凡此皆按天主於創世之前所預定之遠謨、因吾主基督耶穌而實現者也。

使舉世之人、咸得領會造物主自始隱藏之救世玄謨。

預定聖謨；時既成熟、乃予以實現、俾天地萬有、在基督之身、合為一體、而統於一尊。

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。

時既成熟、天主乃遣其聖子、使之出於婦人之腹、而生於律法之下、

惟天主能堅定爾等信心、使爾等與我所傳之福音及耶穌基督之聖道中、能確立不搖。斯道也、即有世以來所蘊藏之玄妙、今則據先知之書、按天主之聖謨、而揭曉啟示、宣揚於天下萬民令其翕然歸於一信；

爾曹乃先知之後；天主與我祖立約、亦為爾曹。天主曾語亞伯漢曰：「普天生靈、咸賴爾裔而獲福。」天主立子、先以福爾、欲爾自反、而脫罪惡耳。』

作惡者、則出於自始作惡之魔鬼。而天主聖子之降世、正為掃蕩魔鬼之惡業也。
