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.

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！

我们祈求上帝使你们不做任何恶事；这不是要显明我们是经得起考验的，而是要你们行事端正，即使我们似乎经不起考验也没有关系。

我们祈求上帝使你们一件恶事都不做，不是为了要显明我们经得起考验，而是要你们行事端正，就算我们经不起考验也无妨。

我们祈求神，使你们不作什么恶事。这并不是要显明我们是经得起考验的，而是要你们行善；我们呢，就让我们作经不起考验的人好了！

我們祈求上帝使你們不做任何惡事；這不是要顯明我們是經得起考驗的，而是要你們行事端正，即使我們似乎經不起考驗也沒有關係。

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors, and yet true;as unknown, and yet well- known; as dying and yet– see!– we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed;

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth accurately.

The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen.

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

And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insightso that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere 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.

Happy is the one who endures testing, because when he has proven to be genuine, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him.

and maintain good conduct among the non- Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.

Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy.

For we are concerned about what is right not only before the Lord but also before men.

For we rejoice whenever we are weak, but you are strong. And we pray for this: that you may become fully qualified.

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.

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

But as God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in distresses,

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

because some say,“ His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak and his speech is of no account.”

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.

For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people.

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

Jabez called out to the God of Israel,“ If only you would greatly bless me and expand my territory! May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm so I might not endure pain!” God answered his prayer.
