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、

爾若為惡而見責、即能忍受、亦有何功？正惟為善而遘辱、逆來而順受、乃能取悅於天主耳。

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.

因為人若為了良知要對得住上帝而擔受憂患，喫冤枉的苦，這就是溫雅的行為。

你們行善而受苦，如果上帝的旨意願意這樣，總比行惡而受苦的好啊。

為着義受逼迫的人有福啊！因為天國是他們的。人辱罵你們，逼迫你們，憑空虛造說出各樣壞話毁謗你們；為了我的緣故、你們是有福的。應當歡喜快樂，因為你們在天上的賞報很大；因為你們以前的神言人，人也這樣逼迫他們。

即使不然，你們如果為義而受苦、也是有福氣。不要怕他們，不要震盪不安；

你們若在基督名內受辱罵，是有福的；因為「榮耀」之靈、就是上帝之靈、住在你們身上。你們中間別有人因做兇手或盜賊、或為非作惡、或騷擾社會、而受苦了。但若因做基督徒而受苦，就別慚愧了，倒要因有這名而榮耀上帝呢。

直到現在這一點鐘，我們還是又饑又渴、又赤身裸體、又挨拳打、飄泊無定，

『你們若愛那些愛你們的，有甚麼可酬謝的？就是「罪人」也愛那些愛他們的呀。

你們要察驗甚麼是主所喜歡的；

便吐唾沬在他臉上，用拳頭打他；有人給他一個耳刮子，

你們若單給你們的弟兄請安，比人有甚麼長處呢？就是外國人不也是這樣行麼？

但我樣樣都收到了，而且有富餘；我已得補足，因為我從以巴弗提接受了你們那裏所送來的馨香之氣味、可接納的祭物、上帝所喜歡的。

有幾個人開始向他吐唾沫，蒙着他的臉，用拳頭打他，對他說：『你說豫言吧！』差役用耳刮子把他拉過去。

所以弟兄們，我憑着上帝的憐憫勸你們、將你們的身體獻上做祭物，是活的，是聖別的，是上帝所喜歡的，是你們心神的事奉。別和今世同形狀了，乃要以心思之更新而變了形質，使你們能察驗甚麼是上帝的旨意，甚麼是那美善的、可喜歡的、純全的事。
