For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well- doing than for evil- doing.

神的旨意若是叫你们因行善受苦，总强如因行恶受苦。

上帝的旨意若是要你们因行善受苦，这总比因行恶受苦好。

如果上帝的旨意是要你们因行善而受苦，这也总比你们因作恶而受苦强。

如果神的旨意是要你们受苦，那么为行善受苦，总比为行恶受苦好。

要知道，即使神的旨意要你们因行善而受苦，也比因作恶而受苦更好，

神的旨意若是叫你們因行善受苦，總強如因行惡受苦。

上帝的旨意若是要你們因行善受苦，這總比因行惡受苦好。

神的旨意若是要你們因行善受苦，這總比因行惡受苦好。

如果上帝的旨意是要你們因行善而受苦，這也總比你們因作惡而受苦強。

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。

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。

要知道，即使神的旨意要你們因行善而受苦，也比因作惡而受苦更好，

若為上帝之旨、則爾行善受苦、愈於行惡受苦矣、

若上帝旨、使爾為善遘難、較為惡受苦者、超軼遠矣、

若天主之旨、使爾因行善受苦、勝於因行惡受苦、○

倘天主之意、欲使爾因行善而受苦、不猶愈於因作惡而受苦乎？
