But we pray to God that you may not do wrong— not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed.

我们求神，叫你们一件恶事都不做；这不是要显明我们是蒙悦纳的，是要你们行事端正，任凭人看我们是被弃绝的吧！

我求上帝、俾爾所行無惡、非欲顯我見納、惟欲爾為善、雖視我如見棄者亦可、

我求上帝、使爾不行惡、非為示我有據、但余意不專在據也、惟願爾行善、

我求天主、使爾不行惡、非欲顯我見納、惟欲爾行善、雖有人視我如見棄者、亦可、

吾茲祈天主使爾不致為非作惡、而非欲證吾之真實、乃欲使爾為善耳。倘能成爾之美、則吾雖蹈有名無實、色厲內荏之嫌、亦所願焉！

Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong— not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.

I pray to God that you won’t do anything wrong. I don’t pray so that people will see that I have passed the test. Instead, I pray this so that you will do what is right, even if it seems I have failed.

We pray to God that you will not do what is wrong by refusing our correction. I hope we won’t need to demonstrate our authority when we arrive. Do the right thing before we come— even if that makes it look like we have failed to demonstrate our authority.

But we pray to God that you do nothing wrong— not that we may appear to pass the test, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear to fail.

Now we pray to God that you do nothing wrong; not so that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, though we may appear unapproved.

Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honorable, though we be as reprobate.

Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

Now we pray to God that you may not do anything wrong, not so that we may appear to have passed the test, but so that you may do what is right even if we may appear to have failed the test.

Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.

through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true;as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed;

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

For they say,“ His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.”

For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.

Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying,“ Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
