緣此、我不能復忍、遣人欲知爾信、恐為試者所惑、而我徒勞、

为此，我既不能再忍，就打发人去，要晓得你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的到底诱惑了你们，叫我们的劳苦归于徒然。

为此，既然我不能再忍，就差派人去，要知道你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的果真诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦归于徒然。

放我不能忍、遣人欲知爾之信主、恐試者惑爾、而我徒勞、

故我不能忍、復遣人欲知爾之信、恐試者惑爾、而我儕之勞徒然、

因此吾迫不及待、儘先遣人探訪、藉欲知爾信德、深恐誘人之物乘間誘爾、則我等之所為孳孳不倦者、盡付東流矣。

For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.

That’s the reason I sent someone to find out about your faith. I couldn’t wait any longer. I was afraid that Satan had tempted you in some way. Then our work among you would have been useless.

For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.

That is why, when I could bear it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out whether your faith was still strong. I was afraid that the tempter had gotten the best of you and that our work had been useless.

For this reason, when I could no longer stand it, I also sent him to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that our labor might be for nothing.

For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be for nothing.

For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.

For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

For this reason, when I could no longer stand it, I also sent him to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that our labor might be for nothing.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

So when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter somehow tempted you and our toil had proven useless.

For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

試者進曰、爾若上帝子、可命此石為餅、

見試者勿謂我為上帝所試、蓋上帝不試於惡、亦不試人、凡為己慾所誘惑者、乃見試也、

彰明維生之道、俾我可誇於基督之日、以所趨所勞、非徒然也、

免撒但取便於我、蓋其謀我非不知也、○

勿相負、惟彼此契合、暫務祈禱而相離、後仍相聚、免情不自禁、撒但因之試爾、

致不復為童稚、蕩漾於諸教之風、受人詭譎欺惑之術、

惟我曰、我勤勞徒然、竭力成為虛空、然耶和華必理我冤、我之賞賚、在我上帝、

若輩乃偽使徒、行事詭譎、貌為基督使徒、原無足怪、蓋撒但亦貌為光明之使、其役貌為義役、非大事也、其報必依其所行、○

乃依啟示而往、且以我在異邦所宣之福音告之、惟私陳於有令聞者、免我前後所行為徒然也、

我至馬其頓時、身無寧處、隨在遭難、外有爭、內有懼、然慰卑微者之上帝、以提多之至慰我、非第因其至、亦因其所受於爾之慰慰我、即以爾之戀慕憂傷、及為我熱衷告我、令我益喜、

故我不能復忍、願獨留於雅典、遣我兄弟提摩太、於基督福音為上帝役者、以堅爾曹、為爾之信而慰爾、

上帝以基督恩召爾、我怪爾離之若此之速、而別從福音、此非福音也、乃擾爾者、欲紛更基督福音耳、或我儕或天使、宣福音於爾、異乎我所宣者、則宜見詛、我昔言之、今復言之、若人宣福音於爾、異乎爾所受者、則宜見詛、

我為爾懼、恐我為爾徒勞矣、○

我以上帝之眷戀、眷戀於爾、蓋我已聘爾於一夫、如貞女焉、以獻於基督也、惟恐爾心偏邪、頓失向基督之純潔、如夏娃為蛇詭誘者然、

越數日、保羅謂巴拿巴曰、我儕且復往昔宣主道諸邑、視兄弟何如、

今提摩太自爾返、報我嘉音、言爾之信與愛、且常緬懷我、切願見我、如我於爾然、

兄弟乎、爾知我儕昔入爾中、非徒然也、
