Exhortámur vos ne in vácuum grátiam Dei recipiátis ait enim: «Témpore accépto exaudívi te et in die salútis adiúvi te». Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis, némini dantes ullam offensiónem, ut non vituperétur ministérium, sed in ómnibus exhibéntes nosmetípsos sicut Dei minístros.
And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain. For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed: But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God.
