自有世以來、斯玄妙之旨、未曾啟迪於人。今則已因聖神而明示其諸聖宗徒、及先知先覺之人矣。

这奥秘在以前的世代没有叫人知道，像如今藉着圣灵启示他的圣使徒和先知一样。

先世未嘗示人、今則以神啟示聖徒及先知矣、

乃前古未嘗示人、今聖神顯示聖使徒與先知、

此奧妙乃前古之世未示於人、今則以聖神顯示其聖使徒及先知、

which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

The mystery was not made known to people of other times. But now the Holy Spirit has made this mystery known to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.

God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.

This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:

which in other generations was not made known to mankind, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Now this secret was not disclosed to people in former generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

愛友乎、爾當猶憶吾主耶穌基督之諸宗徒告爾之言也。

俾能恆懷古聖先知之預言、及宗徒所授救主之明誡耳。

葆樂、天主之僕、而耶穌基督之宗徒也。予之所以為宗徒者、乃為傳布天主選民所信之道、使人識聖教之真諦。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。

乃語曰：『汝等固知猶太人素與他國人不相往來、惟天主已示予勿視人為塵俗不潔；

此聖宅、以宗徒先知為基、而有耶穌基督親充隅石；

惟父將以予名義、遣發保慰恩師、彼必教爾以一切、且使爾追憶領會予之所言也。

使舉世之人、咸得領會造物主自始隱藏之救世玄謨。

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、

一俟真諦之神來臨、必能循循誘爾洞達微妙。彼所言亦非由己；有所聞、乃言之；當示爾以將臨之事、且必歸榮於予也。

因此天主之妙慧、曾作警言曰：「予遣先知宗徒於若輩有為所害、有為所辱、

凡此何一非因信德而見稱者乎？顧其未獲所許者何也？蓋天主夙為吾人備有更微妙之事、而古人之成全、實有待乎吾人者焉。

我實語爾、古之先知義士、咸欲睹爾之所睹、而不獲睹、欲聞爾之所聞、而不獲聞也。

是即歷來先知所潛心探索而預言者、爾等則親沾其澤矣。蓋基督神靈、啟迪先知之衷、故彼等能逆知基督之先苦後樂、與夫其事之成於何時何世。彼等且逆知其所預言諸事、非為本身、乃為爾等。凡此奧義、即眾天神亦渴欲一窺、而爾曹則因布道者憑天主所遣聖神之靈感、而得諦聽矣

天主在教會內所建立者、一為宗徒、二為先知、三為教師、次則聖蹟、異能、醫道賑濟、管理、及各種方言；豈能皆為宗徒、皆為先知、皆為教師、皆施聖蹟、

或感聖神而受妙諦、或感同一聖神而受智辯、或受篤信、或受療疾之能、或行靈蹟、或作預言、或識別神之真偽、或操方言、或譯方言；

恩澤所被、或為宗徒。或為先知、或傳福音、或充監牧、師傅、異曲同工、皆為作育聖徒、供役教會、建成基督之體、

予實語爾、古來無數先知及君王、欲睹爾所睹、而未得睹；欲聞爾所聞、而未得聞也。』

嘗蒙默啟、生前必得親睹上主之基督。是日、被靈感而詣聖殿、適逢二親懷嬰入、欲行定禮、

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。予之奉命而任傳道、而作宗徒、而充師導者、為此福音而已。

是故吾遣先知哲人經師於爾、爾或刃之釘之、或鞭之於會堂、逐之於諸邑、

伯鐸祿尚在揣想異象、聖神語之曰：『三人訪汝、乃予所遣、且起而下、與之同往、可弗疑也。』
