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。

神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。

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。

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？

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.

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

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

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 the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil.

For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

所以照上帝的旨意而受苦的人、要在行善上將自己託付那可信可靠的創造主。

就稍往前走，俯伏在地上禱告說：『我父啊，倘若可能，就叫這杯離開我吧；然而不要照我所願的，只要照你所願的。』

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；

因為上帝的旨意是：你們要行善、來籠住糊塗人的無知無識。

你們若因犯罪而挨拳打、堅心忍受，有甚麼榮譽呢？但你們若因行善而受苦、堅心忍受，這在上帝看就是溫雅的行為了。

保羅既不聽勸，我們也就靜默下來，只說：『願主的旨意得成就是了。』

他第二次又去，禱告說：『我父啊，這杯若不能離開我，非我喝它不行，就願你的旨意成全。』

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。
