His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

God’s power has given us everything we need to lead a godly life. All of this has come to us because we know the God who chose us. He chose us because of his own glory and goodness.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.

His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

不寧惟是、吾人亦知人苟能真心愛天主、則天主必使天地萬物同力相助、而亨通之。如此之人、亦即天主依其聖意而見召者也。蓋天主所預寵者、乃預簡之、俾克肖其聖子、欲使其聖子成為眾子中之冢息耳。故其所預簡者、必從而召之；其所召者、更從而義之；其所義者、更從而榮之。

然大慈天主、既召爾等與基督同享無窮光榮、一俟爾等略受挫折以後、必將親自予爾等以成全、賜爾等以堅貞、而充爾等以神力也。

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；

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。

在斯一日。勝似千春。寧在主宅。充一閽人。莫為惡逆。入幕之賓。

且爾之使命正在此中。蓋基督亦曾為爾茹苦、垂爾楷式、俾爾踵效。

務使爾等立身處世、無忝天主、以副其召爾共享天國及光榮之美意。

是故切勿因人而誇也；應知萬物皆備於爾矣。葆樂也、亞波羅也、基法也、宇宙也、生也、死也、現在也、將來也、一切之一切也、皆屬於爾矣、爾則屬於基督、而基督屬於天主。

然主謂吾曰：『吾之聖寵、已足助爾、蓋吾德之彰、即在柔弱中也。』故吾欣然以柔弱為樂、庶幾基督之神德、能常寓吾身。

其召爾也、以吾儕之傳福音為因緣、而以爾等得沾吾主耶穌基督之光榮為目的。

蓋天主之召吾人、非欲吾人淪於邪污、乃欲吾人進於聖潔。

天主以其聖子為我眾捨生、猶且不惜、尚何吝以一切萬有并賜於我耶？

蓋感召爾等得與其聖子耶穌基督神交心契者、乃誠實無妄之天主也。

伏願恩寵平安、因認識天主及吾主耶穌基督、源源加爾、日進無疆。

萬有皆本乎基督而受造焉；無論在天、在地、有形無形之物、以及一切爵位權德諸品天神、未有不因基督、為基督、而受造者也。

而爾等則為蒙選之族、赫赫司祭、雍雍神國實天主之眷屬也。天主既召爾等出於黑暗入於靈光、爾等可不表彰大德乎。

最後尚有一言、以奉兄弟：凡屬真實無妄、溫雅有度、公正高尚、可愛可喜、可歌可泣之事、苟有一德之美、片善之著、皆爾所當盡心也。

嚮者父授子以統治元元之權、欲其以永生溥施父所授子之人也。人能識父為唯一真宰、及父所遣之耶穌基督、則永生即在斯中。

蓋召爾者聖、爾亦宜修身砥行、克肖其聖。

是故吾以因主被囚之身、剴切勸爾修身砥行、無忝爾之聖召、

合為一體、融於一神。蓋爾等蒙召之時、固受有同一希望、

耶穌進前曰：『天上地下一切諸權、已賦於我。

且從猶太及天下萬國之中、甄而別之、召而集之；果有何不可乎？

蓋『鍛鍊身體、其益猶小；鍛鍊德性、其益莫大、無論今生來生、享受無窮矣。』

勿可以惡報惡、以暴酬暴。要之、咒罵由人、祝福在我；庶幾無忝聖召、自求多福。

天主光榮之輝映、天主本體之神表、而以大命亭毒萬物者也。彼既滌除世罪、乃昇天而位於至尊者之右；

因是望爾等發憤自勉、精益求精；既有信心、加以德行；既有德行、加以明達；

蓋天主之神力、必能因爾之信德、保爾始終不渝、俾沐將顯於末日之恩澤也。

佩德以為飾。共熙光天與化日。爾稟平旦氣。芳露所滋潤。
