爾干罪見撻而忍、何譽之有、若行善受苦而忍、此乃上帝所嘉也、

爾有過、見撻而忍受之、亦何足褒、若爾行善、反遘艱辛、能忍、則為上帝所嘉、

爾有罪惡、見撻而能忍、亦何足褒獎、亦何足褒獎或作有何可誇若爾行善、受苦而能忍、則為天主所嘉、

But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

But suppose you receive a beating for doing wrong, and you put up with it. Will anyone honor you for this? Of course not. But suppose you suffer for doing good, and you put up with it. God will praise you for this.

For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.

Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.

For what credit is there if when you do wrong and are beaten, you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer, if you endure it, this brings favor with God.

For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.

For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

For what credit is there if you sin and are punished, and you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer, if you endure it, this brings favor with God.

For what glory[ is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer[ for it], ye take it patiently, this[ is] acceptable with God.

For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God.

For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

因為人若在神面前為良心的緣故，忍受冤屈的苦楚，是有福的。

如果神的旨意是要你們受苦，那麼為行善受苦，總比為行惡受苦好。

為義遭受迫害的人有福了，因為天國是他們的。人若因我的緣故辱罵你們，迫害你們，並且捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們，你們就有福了。你們應該歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的；在你們以前的先知，他們也曾這樣迫害。

就算你們要為義受苦，也是有福的。“不要怕人的恐嚇，也不要畏懼。”

你們要是為基督的名受辱罵，就有福了！因為神榮耀的靈，住在你們身上。你們中間不可有人因為殺人、或偷竊、或行惡、或好管閒事而受苦。如果因為作基督徒而受苦，不要以為羞恥，倒要藉著這名字榮耀神。

直到現在，我們還是又飢又渴，衣不蔽體，又挨打，又沒有棲身的地方，

如果單愛那些愛你們的人，那有甚麼好處呢？罪人也愛那些愛他們的人。

你們要察驗甚麼是主所喜悅的。

於是他們吐唾沫在他的臉上，用拳頭打他，也有人用掌摑他，說：

如果你們單問候你們的弟兄，有甚麼特別呢？教外人不也是這樣作嗎？

你們所送的我都全數收到了，而且綽綽有餘；我已經足夠了，因我從以巴弗提收到你們所送的，好像馨香之氣，是神所接納所喜悅的祭物。

於是有些人就向他吐唾沫，蒙住他的臉。用拳頭打他，對他說：“你說預言吧！”差役把他拉去，用手掌打他。

所以弟兄們，我憑著神的仁慈勸你們，要把身體獻上，作聖潔而蒙神悅納的活祭；這是你們理所當然的事奉（“理所當然的事奉”或譯：“屬靈的敬拜”）。不要模仿這個世代，倒要藉著心意的更新而改變過來，使你們可以察驗出甚麼是神的旨意，就是察驗出甚麼是美好的、蒙他悅納的和完全的事。
