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、○

For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

God may want you to suffer for doing good. That’s better than suffering for doing evil.

For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!

For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.

因此，那些照著神的旨意受苦的人，要藉著行善把自己的靈魂交託給那位信實的造物主。

耶穌稍往前走，把臉伏在地上禱告說：「我父啊，如果有可能，讓這杯離開我吧！但不要照我的意願，而要照你的意願。」

然而，即使你們為義受苦，也是蒙福的。不要怕他們所懼怕的，也不要驚慌不安，

因為神的旨意就是要你們藉著行善，堵住那些愚妄人無知的口。

就是說，如果你們因犯罪受責打而忍耐，有什麼可稱讚的呢？但如果你們因行善受苦害而忍耐，這在神看來是可稱讚的。

我們既然不能說服保羅，就都安靜下來，只說：「願主的旨意成就。」

耶穌第二次又去禱告說：「我父啊，如果這杯不能離開我，一定要我喝下，那就願你的旨意成就！」

你們當中不可有人因殺人、偷竊、作惡、好管閒事而受苦；
