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 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.

人具良心畏天主、受枉而能忍、或作人受屈枉因天主而忍之是為可嘉、

若天主之旨、使爾因行善受苦、勝於因行惡受苦、○

為義而被窘逐者福矣、因天國乃其國也、人為我而詬詈爾、窘逐爾、造諸惡言、誹謗爾、則爾福矣、當欣喜歡樂、因在天爾之賞大也、蓋先爾諸先知、人亦曾如是窘逐之也、○

爾若為義受苦、乃為有福、人威嚇爾、勿畏勿懼、

爾為基督之名被詬、則為有福、因天主榮光之神、賦畀爾、賦畀爾原文作止於爾上基督為彼所謗讟、為爾所讚榮、有原文抄本無此二句爾中有人受苦、切勿因兇殺、偷竊、行惡、滋事而受苦、若緣為基督徒而受苦、則勿羞愧、當因此歸榮於天主、

至於今、我儕饑渴、裸身、受撻、靡有定處、

爾若惟愛愛爾者、何惠之有、罪人亦愛愛己者、

當察何者為主所悅之事、

眾遂唾其面、且拳擊之、又有手批其頰者、

若爾僅問爾兄弟安、有何過於他人耶、異邦人有原文古抄本作稅吏不亦如是行乎、

我已得諸物有餘、且自以巴弗第多手、受爾之惠、為馨香可納之祭、天主所悅者、故我饒足也、

有人唾之、掩其面、拳擊之、曰、爾既先知、試言擊爾者為誰、吏役亦有手批其頰者、○

兄弟乎、我因天主之憐憫、勸爾獻身為活祭、即聖潔之祭、天主所悅者、是乃爾當然之役也、勿效乎此世、爾心維新而自化、使爾明辨天主之旨、其旨至善可悅且純全者也、
