And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

When I was with you and needed something, I didn’t cause you any expense. The believers who came from Macedonia gave me what I needed. I haven’t caused you any expense at all. And I won’t ever do it.

And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.

And when I was with you and didn’t have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be.

When I was present with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, since the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from burdening you in any way.

and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brothers came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.

And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

When I was present with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from burdening you in any way.

我輩身充基督宗徒、不為不貴、然亦未嘗儼然自尊、求榮於爾、或求榮於人、

亦未嘗仰給於人、惟日夜躬自操作、以免加累於爾。吾人非無權要求供養也；顧欲以身作則、俾爾等知所取法耳。

此番承爾關懷不勝欣慰感主之至。實則爾錦注已久、特未得機緣以作表示耳、此非予之寒酸語也蓋就予一己言之、實已修得隨遇而安、知足常樂之境。窮約之味、予固知之；寬裕之味、予亦知之；一切境遇、予已窺其堂奧、測其深淺、外物何有於我哉。故溫飽可也、凍餓亦可也；有餘可也、不足亦未始不可也。總之、予恃全能之主、故能應付萬變、遊刃有餘耳。雖然、爾等與我共患難、而濟我之急、爾之所為誠善矣。且當予初傳福音、自馬其頓出發之際、未有其他教會與我合作、惟爾斐立比人已慨然與我通有無。即在德颯洛尼時、爾亦曾一再遣人供我之需。

兄弟當猶憶吾儕傳授天主福音時之如何艱辛困苦、躬自操作、夙夜不遑、以免加爾之累。

是則此項善舉不僅補聖徒之不足、抑且使眾心感謝天主、於以增益天主之光榮。

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；

吾未嘗貪圖他人之金銀衣服；

葆樂訪之、因其亦以製幕為業、遂與同寓而經營焉。

伊巴弗提2:25「伊巴弗提」見宗徒大事錄第二十章第四節。致伊法所人書第六章第二十一節及致歌羅森人書第四章第七節。與予同勞共伍、予甚愛之、且原為爾之所遣、以慰我之勞者、故特率先派其就爾。

且爾等所受之寵惠、亦何一不如其他教會乎？有所不如者、其惟吾之不以生計相累乎？吾望爾等勿以此見罪！爾等其注意、我欲第三次就爾、仍不擬增爾負擔。蓋吾所求者爾也、非爾之所有也。且兒女本無積財與父母之義務、惟父母對於兒女則有此義務耳。吾為爾等靈魂之故、固不惜任何之犧牲、即犧牲本身、亦所甘心。豈吾之愛爾愈厚、而爾之愛我愈薄耶？或曰：正惟彼不累爾、彼蓋矯情以取信、將間接貽爾以大累耳。

吾儕茲可告慰於爾等者、乃天主所賜於馬其頓諸聖會之恩寵也。彼等雖艱苦備嘗、而神樂恆湧於心中；貧窮至極、而熱情獨異乎尋常；

故吾人立身處世、在在欲自表為天主之忠僕、事事堅忍；故患難也、匱乏也、困苦也、
