此已及爾、亦猶徧及天下、結實而增益、與在爾中無異、自爾聞之之日、而誠知上帝恩也、

此道傳至爾、爾聞之、誠知上帝恩而結果、亦傳至天下而結果焉、

此福音傳至爾、亦傳至天下、且結果、如在爾中自爾聞福音、真知天主恩寵之日而結果然、

that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world— just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.

that has come to you. In the same way, the good news is bearing fruit. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world. It has been doing that among you since the day you heard it. That is when you really understood God’s grace.

which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing— as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,

This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.

爾未擇予、而予擇爾、且命爾進而結實、長保厥實。如此、則爾因我名以求於父者、莫不見賜。

同時仰賴耶穌基督滿結仁義之實、以顯揚天主。

救恩被邇遐。舉世所目擊。

吾屢擬訪爾、意欲在爾中有所收穫、如在他邦。惟因種種阻礙、迄今未得成行；耿耿此心、尚祈諒詧。

是在爾等篤守信德、確乎不拔、以保因聞福音而得之希望而已。此福音已布於普天生靈、而我葆樂竟得供役於斯。

有落於沃土者、漸興漸長、結實累累、有三十倍者、有六十倍者、有百倍者。』

兄弟鍚爾文、忠實可靠、吾所深知因託其寄爾尺素、以資勸慰、且證明凡此莫非天主聖寵。務望在此聖寵上、屹立不搖。

且此天國嘉音、先須徧傳天下、為萬民證、然後終局乃至。

眾聞是語、悉皆默契而歸榮天主、曰：『由是觀之、天主普賜洪恩於異族、使由悔改而獲生命矣。』

是故吾人之信德、起於所聞；所聞者何、即基督之福音是已。然則若輩豈未之聞乎？固已聞之矣。詩云：『佳音傳大地、聖道遍八荒。』尚得謂之未聞乎？

具徵吾儕之授爾以福音、不僅以言、且以神力與聖神、實事求是、廓然不疑。吾儕向在爾中服務、爾等固知其為何如人也。

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；

於是乃囑之曰：『爾曹當徧歷寰宇、宣福音於普天生靈。

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。

天主神也、故禮之者亦宜以神與誠禮之耳。』

兄弟則為主之所愛、吾儕尚可不為爾等恆謝洪恩乎？蓋天主自始予爾等以簡拔、俾爾等受聖神之感化、篤信真理、以蒙救恩。

夫光明之果、曰善、曰公、曰誠；

佩德以為飾。共熙光天與化日。爾稟平旦氣。芳露所滋潤。

蒙天主聖父按預知而拔擢、因聖神而成聖、服膺恩命、而霑濡耶穌基督寶血之眾兄弟曰：願恩寵康寧、錫爾不匱、日進無疆。可頌哉、吾主耶穌基督之天主聖父也！天主大慈大悲、藉耶穌基督之復活、予吾人以新生、

顧予所為汲汲者、不在爾之資助、而在為爾廣收慷慨之妙果耳。

且孳孳為善、有賁其實；

爾等果已得其真傳。受其薰陶、則應痛革前非、

於是天主之道日昌、傳布益廣。

推雅推喇婦呂底亞者、市布為業、夙敬天主、既聆大道、主復啟迪其衷、命於葆樂所言、悉心領受。

欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」

務當以昨死今生之精神、易以新我。

然吾儕以參贊化育之身、亦有所懇求、深望爾等莫辜負天主之恩寵。

又曰：『天主之國、猶農人播種於地、夜寐夙興、種發且長、而稼者則莫知其所以然也。蓋地生百穀、出乎自然、始而苗、繼而秀、終則豐腴之穀實、滿結穗中；既熟、則鐮而刈之、斯即收穫之時。』

吾儕之於爾等實無鞭長莫及之勢、蓋吾儕已以基督福音庇覆爾等矣。

爾其往勸萬民、服膺聖教、因父及子及聖神之名、為之行洗。

蓋天主普救之恩、已昌明於世、廣被有眾。吾人既受其教、自應痛絕邪妄之人欲。立身處世、寧靜淡泊、孳孳為善、

且爾等一聞吾儕口授之天主福音、不以其為世俗之教、乃審知其實為天主聖道、而欣然納之。故聖道亦緣爾之篤信、而運其妙工於爾身；此尤吾儕之所引以為慰、而感謝天主不能自已者也。

惟假吾之手而已。或以言語、或以行為、或以聖蹟、異能、何一非聖神之妙工乎？吾傳基督福音、足跡已遍耶路撒冷及其周圍之地、直達伊利利亞。

天主為爾等之益、授我以宣恩萬邦之重寄、爾等諒有所聞也。

一俟此事辦竣、並將捐款交代清楚、即當經爾處、而赴西班牙。
