經不云乎：『亞伯漢篤信天主、因是而稱義焉。』若徒憑事功、則其所得者乃為酬報、不復為恩賜矣。正惟不以事功為言、而篤信赦罪之主、乃能因其信德而稱義耳。昔大維亦曾詠嘆不恃事功惟賴恩主而成義者之真福云：

與傭約定、每日一錢、乃遣之入園；

薄暮又出、見仍有徘徊於市者、謂之曰：「爾等何為終日閒立於斯？」曰：「無雇。」曰：「爾等亦往我園中。」

夫法之所至罪之所彰也；而罪之所彰、恩亦彌盛。罪之彰在死亡之界而恩之盛則在永生之域。其所以然者、惟恃吾主耶穌而成義耳。

今則吾主之聖寵、沛然充溢、膏澤吾身、俾我得仰體基督之心、信德愛德、日充日新。吾人常言、基督之降生斯世、為救罪人也。旨哉言乎、不我欺也。而罪人之中、吾其尤著者也。然吾之所以蒙矜憐者、蓋基督耶穌欲以我為先例、以昭示其無荒不包之雅量、庶幾後之信者、聞風而興、以承永生。

蓋爾因信而蒙救、實憑聖寵；凡此皆非爾所固有、純出天主之惠賜。無功而受賜夫孰得而自矜？即吾人本身亦莫非天主之化工、藉基督耶穌為行善而締造。然則吾人之行善、乃天主之成命耳。

一犯應聲責之曰：『汝為同受刑者、尚不寅畏天主耶？夫吾儕受惡之報、宜也。彼則未嘗為非。』乃謂耶穌曰：『主歸天國、請垂念焉。』耶穌對曰：『予實語爾、今日汝當偕予同登福域。』

且沐以芳澤、俾克配其愛子；此乃所以彰其大德也、吾人托庇聖子、仰賴寶血、得蒙拯贖、滌除夙穢；實憑天主之豐恩厚澤。吾人之靈心、既飽霑恩澤、於是暢茂條達、發為妙慧卓識、
