渴欲與爾團聚。我葆樂實已一再發念、輒為沙殫所阻、未克如願。

所以我们有意到你们那里；我保罗有一两次要去，只是撒但阻挡了我们。

所以我们很想到你们那里去。我—保罗有一两次要去，只是撒但阻挡了我们。

所以我们很想到你们那里去。我—保罗有一两次要去，只是撒但阻挡了我们。

我们想去你们那里，我保罗也一次又一次地想去，只是遭到撒旦的拦阻。

因此，我们很想到你们那里去，我保罗也一再想去，只是撒但阻挡了我们。

所以我们想要到你们那里去。我保罗确实一再地要去，只是撒旦拦阻了我们。

所以我們有意到你們那裏；我－保羅有一兩次要去，只是撒但阻擋了我們。

我們想去你們那裡，我保羅也一次又一次地想去，只是遭到撒旦的攔阻。

因此，我們很想到你們那裡去，我保羅也一再想去，只是撒但阻擋了我們。

因為我們真地想要到你們那裏去：我保羅有一次兩次要去，撒但卻給我們截斷了去路。

故我保羅一而再欲就爾、而撒但阻我、

我保羅一而再、欲涖爾處、惟撒但阻我、

故我保羅一再欲來就爾、惟撒但阻我、

For we wanted to come to you— certainly I, Paul, did, again and again— but Satan blocked our way.

We wanted to come to you. Again and again I, Paul, wanted to come. But Satan blocked our way.

because we wanted to come to you— I, Paul, again and again— but Satan hindered us.

We wanted very much to come to you, and I, Paul, tried again and again, but Satan prevented us.

So we wanted to come to you— even I, Paul, time and again— but Satan hindered us.

For we wanted to come to you— I, Paul, more than once— and Satan hindered us.

職是之故、我雖屢欲詣爾、輒為事牽、迄今未克如願。

吾屢擬訪爾、意欲在爾中有所收穫、如在他邦。惟因種種阻礙、迄今未得成行；耿耿此心、尚祈諒詧。

爾今後尚將遭受苦難；望爾毋餒。爾其識之。惡魔將投爾中若干人於獄；此所以予爾以磨練耳。且爾將受難十日、望爾忠貞至死、吾當加爾以生命之榮冠。

耶穌曰：『沙殫、去無留！經云：「爾主天主、汝所宜欽、翼翼奉事、無貳爾心。」』

顧吾之所以為此、且願守此不渝者、不欲予人以口實、而謂若輩之所誇亦同乎吾儕之所誇耳。若輩偽宗徒冒基督宗徒之名、而行其欺詐之實。然此不足為奇；即沙殫亦嘗冒充光明之天神、

於是巨龍下墜；巨龍者、即古時、之蛇、名曰妖魔、沙殫、熒惑全世者是；彼與其天神、俱被逐至地。至是吾聞大音自天而發曰：「彼日夜不輟、訟我兄弟於天主前者、已被貶逐。天主救恩權威與統治之完成、及其基督之秉鈞、其時已屆。諸兄弟賴羔羊之血、毅然為聖道作證、舍命不渝、從容就死；故能克服頑敵、終獲致勝。諸天乎、在天之眾聖乎、可以懽忻而鼓舞矣！

即在德颯洛尼時、爾亦曾一再遣人供我之需。

我葆樂親筆祝爾平安。

我葆樂親筆問候爾等。凡我手書、必以此為徵；我之字體如此。

我葆樂親筆祝爾平安。請恆念吾之縲絏願恩寵常與爾偕、心焉祝之。

惟為成全愛德、寧以勸勉出之。我葆樂已龍鍾老矣；今且為基督耶穌之故、而遭受禁錮；
