惟寛柔在爾中、如乳媼之育赤子、

只在你们中间存心温柔，如同母亲乳养自己的孩子。

身为基督的使徒，我们理当受到你们的尊重，然而我们像母亲抚育婴儿一样温柔地对待你们。

我们身为基督的使徒，虽然可以加给你们重担，但是我们在你们当中成了温柔的，就像哺乳的母亲顾惜自己的儿女那样。

只在你們中間存心溫柔，如同母親乳養自己的孩子。

身為基督的使徒，我們理當受到你們的尊重，然而我們像母親撫育嬰兒一樣溫柔地對待你們。

惟溫柔於爾中、猶乳媼煦嫗其子、

我慈爾、猶乳媼育赤子、

惟知自謙自抑、赤忱與爾相處、一如慈母之煦嫗其子女；

Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children,

Instead, we were like young children when we were with you. As a mother feeds and cares for her little children,

But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nurse nurtures her own children.

But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children,

But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother nurtures her own children.

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

although we could have imposed our weight as apostles of Christ; instead we became little children among you. Like a nursing mother caring for her own children,

But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

爾亦知我儕勤勉安慰爾中各人、如父於子然、

爾曹必蒙我慰藉、如人受母之慰藉、爾曹必在耶路撒冷得慰藉、

君王必為爾為養父、后妃必為爾為乳母、俯伏在地、拜於爾前、餂爾足塵、使爾知我乃主、凡仰望我者、不至羞愧、

夫主之僕不可爭競、必以慈愛待眾、善於施教、亦當忍耐、拒道者當以謙和督責之、庶天主賜之悔心、俾識真理、

彼雖由弱而被釘十字架、然今由天主之能而仍生、我儕信基督亦弱、惟由天主向爾所顯之能、亦與彼同生、

我心溫良謙遜、爾負我軛而學我、則爾心必獲安、蓋我軛易、我負輕也、

我必牧之在佳美牧場、其牢必在以色列高山、必臥在佳美之苑、牧在膏腴之地、在以色列山間、主天主曰、我必自牧我羊、亦使之得安臥、迷亡者我必尋之、被驅者我必返之、傷者我必裹之、弱者我必強之、惟肥者強者、我必除滅、除滅有作守之我必循理之所宜而牧之、

主如牧人牧養羊群、以臂集羔羊、抱於懷中、導乳哺之牝羊、

眾食畢、耶穌謂西門彼得曰、約拿子西門、爾較斯眾尤愛我乎、曰、主、然也、主知我愛爾、耶穌曰、食我羔、二次謂之曰、約拿子西門、爾愛我乎、曰、主、然也、主知我愛爾、耶穌曰、牧我羊、三次謂之曰、約拿子西門、爾愛我乎、彼得因耶穌三次問爾愛我乎、遂憂曰、主、無所不知、主知我愛爾、耶穌曰、食我羊、

曰、我主知諸子柔弱、牛羊方字、若疾驅之一日、則群畜悉死、請主先僕而往、僕且量牲畜及幼子之力、徐徐而進、待僕至我主之所西珥地、

主使我懷抱此眾民、如父母之懷抱嬰孩、攜至主所誓賜其祖之地、我豈妊之乎、我豈產之乎、

惟由上之智慧、先廉潔、後和平、溫良、柔順、充滿矜恤、多結善果、不偏視、不偽善、

我保羅與爾覿面時為謙卑、與爾相離時為勇敢、我因基督之溫柔寛裕勸爾、

於荏弱者我如荏弱、以得荏弱者、我於眾人如眾人、為欲以多方拯救數人、

聖神所結之果、即仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、慈悲、良善、忠信、溫柔、節制、如此者、無律法禁止、

在曠野撫養之、約四十年、

我居於爾中、荏弱畏懼、戰慄不勝、
