兄弟乎、我儕暫違爾、乃以面、非以心、殷勤益切、甚願見爾、

兄弟乎、我暫離爾、身遠心邇、殷勤甚願覯爾、

兄弟乎、我儕雖暫與爾等睽隔、然中心愛慕、與日俱長。

But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time( in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.

Brothers and sisters, we were separated from you for a short time. Apart from you, we were like children without parents. We were no longer with you in person. But we kept you in our thoughts. We really wanted to see you. So we tried very hard to do so.

But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face,

Dear brothers and sisters, after we were separated from you for a little while( though our hearts never left you), we tried very hard to come back because of our intense longing to see you again.

But as for us, brothers and sisters, after we were forced to leave you for a short time( in person, not in heart), we greatly desired and made every effort to return and see you face to face.

But we, brothers and sisters, having been orphaned from you by absence for a short while— in person, not in spirit— were all the more eager with great desire to see your face.

But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire.

But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:

But as for us, brothers, after we were forced to leave you for a short time( in person, not in heart), we greatly desired and made every effort to return and see you face to face.

But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

But when we were separated from you, brothers and sisters, for a short time( in presence, not in affection) we became all the more fervent in our great desire to see you in person.

But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

因为，我虽然身体不在你们那里，心灵却与你们同在，而且看见你们有秩序，对基督的信仰也坚定不移，我就感到快乐。

要知道，我虽然身体不在你们那里，但灵里却在你们那里；我已经像在你们那里一样审判了做这事的人。

但是，现在提摩太从你们那里来到我们这里，带来了你们信仰和爱心的好消息，并且说你们总是对我们怀着美好的记忆，切切地想见到我们，就像我们也渴望见到你们那样。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不明白：我多次计划到你们那里去，为要在你们那里也得一些果实，就像我在其他外邦人中那样，可是直到如今还受到拦阻。

但如今，这些地区再没有可传的地方了，况且多年来我一直渴望见到你们。

我们日夜迫切祈求，要见你们的面，并且要补全你们在信仰上的缺欠。愿神我们的父和我们的主耶稣，亲自引导我们的道路到你们那里去。

神哪，你是我的神，我切切寻求你！在干旱、疲乏、无水之地，我的灵魂渴想你，我的肉体渴盼你。

耶稣对他们说：“我一直非常渴望在我受难之前，与你们一起吃这逾越节的晚餐。

以色列说：“好，我的儿子约瑟还活着！在我死之前，我要去见他。”

弟兄们立刻连夜送保罗和赛拉斯往庇里亚城去。两个人一到，就进了犹太人的会堂。

以色列对约瑟说：“我没有想到能见你的面，看哪，连你的后裔，神都让我见到了！”

但如果我继续活在世上，这就使我有工作的成果，于是我不明白该怎样选择了。我正处在两难之间：我渴望离世与基督在一起，因为这是好得无比的；可是为了你们的缘故，我更需要留在世上。既然我深信这一点，就知道我会活下去，并且将继续和你们大家在一起，好使你们在信仰上有长进、有喜乐。以致因着我再次到你们那里去，你们在基督耶稣里，对我的夸耀能充实满溢。

现在，你因为切切思念你的父家，一定要走，但为什么偷了我的神像呢？”
