求主使我謹守我口、使我謹慎啟唇、

凡穢言勿出爾口、言必善以建德、使聽者獲益、

經載云、凡欲得生而平康度日者、則當捫舌勿言惡、守口無詭詐、

即當捫舌勿出惡語、守口勿發誑言、

我儕各人屢陷於過、言語無過者、即為完人、能約束全身、我儕置勒馬口、使之順服、則能御其全身、舟雖大、且為狂風飄蕩、而小舵得以運轉、隨舵師所欲、如是舌為小體、而能誇大、薪甚多、薪甚多或作林甚茂微火可燃、舌即火、其惡大於世界、舌於我百體中玷污全身、能燃造化之輪、其火由革狠拿而起、

善人之口、滋生智慧、乖謬之舌、斷之勿疑、

爾言恆當婉喻、如以鹽調和、則知所以對答各人、○

是故當慎如何聽道、蓋凡有者將予之、無有者、即其所自以為有、亦將奪之、○

爾當行道、不第聞道、毋自欺、

貧者行動正直、勝於富者言乖且愚、

爾當謹慎、毋任爾心迷惑背逆主、奉事崇拜異邦之神、

我嘗云、我必謹慎行為、免舌犯罪、當惡人在前、我必封閉我口、我緘默寂靜、即好言亦不出口、痛苦更為迫切、

淫詞、妄言、戲謔、亦非所宜、莫若稱謝主恩、

所愛之兄弟、因此、爾各人當速於聽、緩於言、遲於怒、

爾勿似馬似騾之無知、若不以銜韁約束其口、必不順從、

惰者終日貪圖而不得、善人有餘、施舍不吝、

人必因口德之果報享福、悖逆者必因所好者得凶報、悖逆者必因所好者得凶報或作悖逆者之所欲皆強暴守口者保生命、多言者必致敗亡、

君言當如神語、聽訟之時、其口不可差謬、

答曰、爾嘗言曰、服事天主、實屬徒勞、守其律法、守其律法或作守其所命守者何益之有、因萬有之主愀然度日、愀然度日或作常懷憂悶何益之有、

多言難免有罪、緘口者可謂有智、

有一道、人以為正、不知終為趨死之道、

至於有名者、不論何人、皆與我無與、天主不以貌取人、彼有名者、於我無所增益、

彼以人所命者、為教而訓人、故徒然奉事我云、

爾若守我所傳爾者、且爾信不虛、則必以此福音得救矣、

毋復獻無益之祭、馨香馨香或作焚香我甚憎之、月朔、安息日、大會之日、我所厭棄、守節期、又復行惡、我所不容、

智者言語、善用知識、善用知識或作使人以知識為美愚者之口、傾吐其癡、

彼如以灰為食、中心昏昧、入於迷途、不知自救、不自曰、我右手所作、悉屬虛妄、

人若無有、自以為有、是自欺也、

彼以人所命者為教而訓人、故徒然奉事我也、

無知者乎、爾欲知無行之信乃死乎、

有一道、人以為正、不知終為趨死之道、

勿自欺、倘有人自視為智於此世、則寧為愚、以可為智、

若死者不復活、則天主未使基督復活、而我儕證天主曾使之復活、是我儕為天主妄證矣、

雅各磯法約翰、人所視為教之柱者、既知主賜我此恩、則施右手、交我及巴拿巴、使我與巴拿巴往教異邦人、而彼往教受割禮者、

爾徒受如此之多苦乎、豈果徒然乎、
