Up to this very hour we are hungry and thirsty. We are dressed in rags. We are being treated badly. We have no homes.

直到如今，我们还是又饥又渴，又赤身露体，又挨打，又没有一定的住处，

To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,

Even now we go hungry and thirsty, and we don’t have enough clothes to keep warm. We are often beaten and have no home.

Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;

Up to this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless;

To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling- place;

Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

Who can separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or hard times or harm or hunger? Can nakedness or danger or war?

Are they serving Christ? I am serving him even more. I’m out of my mind to talk like this! I have worked much harder. I have been in prison more often. I have suffered terrible beatings. Again and again I almost died.Five times the Jews gave me 39 strokes with a whip.Three times I was beaten with sticks. Once they tried to kill me by throwing stones at me. Three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.I have had to keep on the move. I have been in danger from rivers. I have been in danger from robbers. I have been in danger from my fellow Jews and in danger from Gentiles. I have been in danger in the city, in the country, and at sea. I have been in danger from people who pretended they were believers.I have worked very hard. Often I have gone without sleep. I have been hungry and thirsty. Often I have gone without food. I have been cold and naked.

I know what it’s like not to have what I need. I also know what it’s like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough.

You know that I was treated badly. You know that I suffered greatly. You know what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. You know how badly I have been treated. But the Lord saved me from all my troubles.

Jesus replied,“ Foxes have dens. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium. They won the crowd over to their side. They threw stones at Paul. They thought he was dead, so they dragged him out of the city.

You took clothes away from your relatives just because they owed you some money. You left them naked for no reason at all.

Don’t we have the right to eat and drink?

Ananias the high priest heard this. So he ordered the men standing near Paul to hit him on the mouth.

Instead, we make it clear that we serve God in every way. We serve him by standing firm in troubles, hard times and suffering.We don’t give up when we are beaten or put in prison. When people stir up trouble in the streets, we continue to serve God. We work hard for him. We go without sleep and food.

We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn’t make us lose hope.

They were whipped without mercy. Then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.
