蓋彼雖一度憑其柔德、而被釘以死、今則憑天主大能而生矣。吾人茲亦秉其柔德、惟對於爾曹、吾儕亦當憑天主大德、而與基督共生也。

昔彼因弱被釘十架、然由上帝之能而生、我儕亦與之俱弱、然由上帝向爾之能、將與之俱生、

昔基督柔、被釘十字架、賴上帝能而復生、我濟宗基督亦柔、賴上帝能、必與之生於爾中、

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、

For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him in our dealing with you.

It is true that Christ was nailed to the cross because he was weak. But Christ lives by God’s power. In the same way, we share his weakness. But by God’s power we will live with Christ as we serve you.

For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.

Although he was crucified in weakness, he now lives by the power of God. We, too, are weak, just as Christ was, but when we deal with you we will be alive with him and will have God’s power.

蓋基督亦曾為眾人之罪而死矣。彼以義者之身、而為諸不義者舍命、欲引吾人歸順天主耳。然彼之肉身雖被處死、而其神靈則生、

既因受洗而與之同死、亦即與之同葬矣。既與之同葬、乃亦與之同被天父之恩光、而自死中復活。於是吾人所現有者、乃為煥然一新之生命。

建言有之：『人若共其死、亦必共其生。人若共其辱、亦當共其榮。人若不認主、主亦無從認。

予渴欲識之更深、而親領其復活之力量、且與之共受苦難追踵其死、

蓋吾人雖生於形體之中、然非從事於形體上之戰爭；因吾人作戰之武器、非屬形而下者、顧賴主之力其效能則足以掃蕩一切險固之壁壘。

所播者辱、而所發者榮；所播者弱、而所發者強；

且夫基督之所以死而復活者、正欲作生者死者之主宰、而黜陟幽明。

及天主於信徒所施神力之廣大無邊也。蓋此神力、天主實已先施於基督之身、起之於死中、升之於諸天、位之於己右、超軼乎一切爵、權、德、統、諸品天神、及今世來世一切可名之名之上。置天地萬物於其足下、立之為全教會至高無上之元首、而以教會為其身軀。蓋基督涵覆萬有、而教會實為之輔翼也。

然予在爾中、實自慚才短中心恐懼、惴惴不安；

基督在世之日、大聲疾呼涕淚漣如、哀求全能者拯之出死、卒以其克懷寅畏、而蒙垂聽。

顧吾人既與基督同死亦必與之同生；此則吾人所深信而不疑者。且知基督既自死者中復活、則斷無復死之理、而死亦不復能為之主矣。其死也乃一時為贖罪而死；其生也則永久為天主而生。是故爾等亦當思所以仰體耶穌基督、死於罪而活於天主。

予之舍生、純出自願、無強之者；予能舍之、亦能復取之；此乃予所受於吾父之成命也。』

義塞全族、當知爾所釘於十字架上之耶穌、即天主所立為主、為基督者也。』

以其神性論之、則為天主聖子、威靈顯赫、其自死者中復活、實為明證。

有天神降現、加以慰勉、時耶穌憂鬱至極、祈禱彌切、汗如血珠、滴滴入地、

乃屈尊紆貴、甘自為僕、而降生為人。其為人也、復謙之又謙、損之又損、惟天主之命是從；鞠躬盡瘁、死而後已、終至致命於十字架上。因是天主亦舉之於萬有之上、鍚以聖名、舉世無匹、萬古流芳、使天上人間乃至地下一切生靈、莫不聞其名而屈膝、眾口同聲、咸稱耶穌基督為主、而歸榮於天主聖父焉。

則爾與義塞民當知納匝勒人耶穌基督、即爾曹所釘於十字架者、天主已賜以復活。此人之所以能獲康復而挺立於爾前者、賴耶穌之名也。耶穌者即「梓人所棄、竟成隅石」者是。舍彼而外、別無救主；普天之下、更無其他名義、可恃以獲救恩。』

基督今已昇天、位於天主右、一切天神及權德諸品、莫不翕然順服、統於一尊。

頗聞人言：『彼之書札、雖雷厲風行；而彼之形軀、則柔弱無能、言語更無足輕重。』

然此真光之在吾人、猶珍寶之藏於瓦器也。應知可貴者在天主之德、而不在吾人之身。故吾人雖四面受迫而未陷絕境也；雖進退維谷、而未淪末路也；備受窘逐、而未為天主所棄也；飽嘗磨折、而未見消滅也；恆體耶穌之死、亦欲體耶穌之生也。蓋吾人雖有生、實無時不為耶穌而死、庶幾吾人血肉之軀、亦得載耶穌之生、而顯揚之耳。總之、吾人之死、亦所以促進爾等之生也。

今爾曹所見所識之跛者得以痊復、實由信賴其聖名耳。此人在爾眾之前、能證其康復如常者、惟憑耶穌所賜之信德而已。

我見之、即殭仆其足前、渠以右手撫我曰：「毋懼、予乃無始之始、無終之終；永生不變；死於一時、而生於永古；掌握死亡及地獄之管籥者。
