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

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。

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？

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 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.

Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying,“ O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed.“ And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—

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.

So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying,“ The will of the Lord be done.”

Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying,“ O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.
