145:1
Consultus in Evangelio Dominus, quid de vinculi matrimonialis soliditate decerneret, Non sunt, inquit, jam duo, sed una caro. Propter quod dico vobis, Quod Deus junxit, homo non separet (Matth. xix, G). Ecce quod ait Apostolus de conjugio, Sacramentum hoc magnum; ego autem dico vobis, in Christo et in Ecclesia (Ephes. v, 32). Nascitur nempe ab humilitate exempli altitudo mysterii. Si ex duobus dicitur unum facere copula corporalis, quare lolam Trinitatem non solidaverit una substantia ? aut cum dicamus, in terrenis separari non licere quod Deus junxit per concordiam, quanto periculo in supernis separari velimus quod Deus junctus est per naturam ?
When the Lord was consulted in the Gospel as to what He would decree concerning the firmness of the marriage bond, He said: «They are now not two, but one flesh. Wherefore I say to you, What God has joined together, let not man put asunder» (Matt. 19:6). Behold what the Apostle says concerning marriage: «This is a great mystery; but I say to you, in Christ and in the Church» (Eph. 5:32). For assuredly from the lowliness of the example is born the loftiness of the mystery. If the bodily union is said to make one out of two, why should not one substance have made firm the whole Trinity? Or when we say that on earth it is not lawful to separate what God has joined through concord, with what peril should we wish to separate in the heavens what God has joined through nature?
當主在福音書中被詢及祂對婚姻之約的穩固性當如何裁定時，祂說：「他們不再是兩個人，乃是一體了。所以神配合的，人不可分開」（太十九6）。看哪，使徒論婚姻所說的：「這是極大的奧祕，但我是指著基督和教會說的」（弗五32）。因為，奧祕的崇高確是從榜樣的卑微而生。若肉身的結合尚被稱為使二者合而為一，那麼何以一個本體不能使整個三位一體堅固合一呢？又，當我們說在地上藉和睦所配合的、神所結合者不可分離，那麼我們若想在天上分離那藉本性所結合、神所聯合者，該冒何等的危險呢？
145:2
Jam ut illud taceam quod scriptum est, quod multitudinis credentium erat anima una, et cor unum (Act. IV, 32): quorum singula corda unum cor reddebat unanimitas, sicut proprias in Trinitale personas solidat et exunat aequalitas.
To pass over now that which is written, that «of the multitude of believers there was one soul and one heart» (Acts 4:32): for their individual hearts, unanimity rendered into one heart, just as equality makes firm and unites the proper persons within the Trinity.
如今姑且不論那所記的：「一群信的人都是一心一意的」（徒四32）：他們各自的心，因同心合意而成為一心，正如同等性使三位一體中各自的位格堅固合一。
