耶穌基督是最完美的原初作品

耶穌基督是最完美的原初作品，而保祿像是天主為了我們而製出的模型；我們在保祿裡被塑形，複製耶穌基督的樣貌。聖保祿的模子向我們顯露耶穌的個性、心態、美德、熱情和虔誠等等所有的一切。(APim, 227)

Jesus Christ is the perfect original; Paul was made and became himself form for us, wherefore in him, we are forged in order to reproduce Christ. St. Paul-form is… to communicate to us to the utmost his personality: his mentality, his virtue, his zeal, his piety… everything (APim, 227).
