爾等諒憶當時吾儕在斐立比、雖已飽嘗辛艱凌辱、然賴我天主、再接再勵餘勇可賈、復於重重磨折之中、為爾傳述天主福音。

我们从前在腓立比被害受辱，这是你们知道的；然而还是靠我们的神放开胆量，在大争战中把神的福音传给你们。

我们从前在腓立比蒙难受辱，这是你们知道的，可是我们还是靠着上帝给我们的勇气，在强烈反对中把上帝的福音传给你们。

我们从前在腓立比蒙难受辱，这是你们知道的，可是我们还是靠着神给我们的勇气，在强烈反对中把神的福音传给你们。

你们也知道，我们之前在腓立比遭受了迫害和凌辱，遇到强烈的反对，但仍然靠着我们的上帝放胆向你们传扬祂的福音。

我们从前在腓立比虽然受了苦，又被凌辱，可是靠着我们的神，在强烈的反对之下，仍然放胆向你们述说神的福音，这是你们知道的。

相反，正如你们知道，虽然我们以前在腓立比受了苦、受了凌辱，但是靠着我们的神，我们还是放胆直言，在大争战中把神的福音传给了你们。

相反，正如你們知道，雖然我們以前在腓立比受了苦、受了凌辱，但是靠著我們的神，我們還是放膽直言，在大爭戰中把神的福音傳給了你們。

我於腓立比受苦受辱、乃爾所知、然賴我上帝、在窘迫中與爾侃侃言上帝之福音、

爾知我在腓立比、雖受害見辱、然賴我上帝、得侃侃言、竭力傳上帝福音與爾、

我儕在腓立比受害見辱、乃爾所知、然我儕賴我天主、仍得毅然竭力、傳福音於爾曹、

We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition.

You know what happened earlier in the city of Philippi. We suffered, and people treated us very badly there. But God gave us the boldness to tell you his good news. We preached to you even when people strongly opposed us.

But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict.

You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition.

On the contrary, after we had previously suffered and were treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, we were emboldened by our God to speak the gospel of God to you in spite of great opposition.

but after we had already suffered and been treated abusively in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict.

On the contrary, after we had previously suffered, and we were treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, we were emboldened by our God to speak the gospel of God to you in spite of great opposition.

But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

But although we suffered earlier and were mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in spite of much opposition.

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

傷痕徧體、乃收之獄、諭獄吏嚴守之。獄吏既受命、置之內監、加以桎梏。午夜、葆樂西拉祈禱頌詩、讚美天主；群囚側耳而聽。

眾見伯鐸祿若望侃侃而談、且識其為不學小民、素樸之人、皆不勝驚訝、意必曾親炙耶穌者、

予之造次顛沛、備嘗艱辛、亦為此福音而已。然予不以為恥也。無他、予知所仰望者之為誰氏之子、且深信彼之所寄於予者、彼必能保其完整、以待彼日之臨也。

是處有猶太人之會堂、葆樂依然進而就之、歷三禮日與眾辯析經義、啟迪闡發、以徵基督當先蒙害、後當復活；又曰：『所傳耶穌、即基督也。』聞而信者、自附於葆樂、西拉、虔敬之希臘人歸依者甚眾、貴婦亦復不少；惟猶太人嫉之、招聚市井敗類、鼓譟全城、入雅孫宅、欲執葆樂、西拉以付之於民、不得；乃曳雅孫及同道數人謁有司曰：『擾亂天下者來至此地、而雅孫納之，是皆違背凱撒之命、而奉耶穌為王者也。』眾與有司聞之駭然、命雅孫等具保、始予開釋。

而致景仰於耶穌乎？耶穌者、乃吾人信德之金聲玉振也。曩者彼為前途不可思議之神樂、而甘嘗垢辱、毅然肩負苦架。今則安坐天主寶位之右矣。爾等當細心體驗、耶穌當時如何忍受群小之拂逆、庶幾不致灰心而自餒。

乃於會堂中與猶太人及其他虔敬天主者、從事討論；市中有所遇、亦如之、日以為常。

爾等應知予為爾等及老底嘉同人之故、且為未曾睹面者之故、如何勞心焦思、而為之努力奮鬥也。予之為此、亦欲有以鼓勵同人之心、

葆樂入會堂、侃侃而言；歷三月、暢論天主國之理、以資勸化。

宗徒既離公會、心竊自喜、竟蒙特寵、得為聖名而受辱、何樂如之。

所望爾等立身處世、日用之間、在在以無忝基督之福音為念；且不僅於爾我相晤時為然、即暫相睽隔、亦願聞爾等團結一致、堅立不移、一心一德、通力合作、以廣福音之傳。勿以敵眾而萌畏縮之意；爾之無畏、即為敵人敗亡之朕兆、亦即爾獲天主恩救之保障也。蓋爾所受之特寵、不惟在信仰基督、亦在為彼受難忍苦耳。已往予之奮鬥、爾所目擊；今之奮鬥、爾所耳聞；為主奮鬥、亦爾之分內事也。

隸如言白有司、有司聞其為羅馬人、悚懼、

禱畢、大地震動、眾感聖神、無不昌言天主之道焉。

爾時有自猶太來者、誡諸兄弟曰：『苟不依摩西舊例、領受割禮、則不能蒙救恩。』葆樂、巴拿巴力與之辯。眾乃推定葆樂巴拿巴及其他同道數人、就耶路撒冷之宗徒長老決之；

而利伯地拿、古利奈、亞力山大、基利家、亞細亞諸地之公會、有人起而與之辯難。司諦文憑其智慧靈感、應對沛然、無能禦之者。

即其所派之督撫、亦無非為懲惡勸善而設也。蓋天主之意欲爾行善以塞愚夫愚婦悠悠之口。爾固宜為自由之人、胸中灑脫、無所拘礙；然萬勿以自由為名、而行其放縱恣肆、犯上作亂之實。當為天主之忠僕、

更有人忍受戲弄鞭撻、桎梏縲絏、種種磨煉、或石擊鋸解、或百般見誘、或死於刀下、或身披綿羊山羊之皮、栖遑外土、造次顛沛、艱苦備嘗；

二人逗留有日、托賴主力、侃侃論道；主亦假其手廣施靈異神蹟、以證其恩寵之道。

凡吾輩所見所聞、不得不言也。』

斐立比者馬其頓之首邑、而羅馬之殖民地也、吾儕因作數日逗留。

具徵吾儕之授爾以福音、不僅以言、且以神力與聖神、實事求是、廓然不疑。吾儕向在爾中服務、爾等固知其為何如人也。

亦為予祈求辯才無礙、俾能以大無畏精神、闡發福音之蘊奧。蓋我已為福音之故而成為被鍊加鎖之星使。果能不為威武所屈、侃侃而談、庶幾不辱使命、是所至願也。

愛友乎、予早擬致書於爾、申論吾人所共承之救恩；今則更覺不容或緩、特馳書慰勉、極望爾等能不遺餘力、擁護當初所授於諸聖之信條。蓋此信條、一成不變；
