Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.

So because of God’s mercy, we have work to do. He has given it to us. And we don’t give up.

Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart.

弟兄们，你们行善不可丧志。

所以，我求你们不要因我为你们所受的患难丧胆，这原是你们的荣耀。

我们行善，不可丧志；若不灰心，到了时候就要收成。

我作了这福音的执事，是照神的恩赐，这恩赐是照他运行的大能赐给我的。我本来比众圣徒中最小的还小，然而他还赐我这恩典，叫我把基督那测不透的丰富传给外邦人，

论到童身的人，我没有主的命令，但我既蒙主怜恤能作忠心的人，就把自己的意见告诉你们。

我靠着那加给我力量的，凡事都能作。

你也能忍耐，曾为我的名劳苦，并不乏倦。

他叫我们能承当这新约的执事，不是凭着字句，乃是凭着精意；因为那字句是叫人死，精意是叫人活。

所以，我们不丧胆。外体虽然毁坏，内心却一天新似一天。

那忍受罪人这样顶撞的，你们要思想，免得疲倦灰心。

我从前是亵渎神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的；然而我还蒙了怜悯，因我是不信不明白的时候而做的。

一切都是出于神；他藉着基督使我们与他和好，又将劝人与他和好的职分赐给我们。

就是少年人也要疲乏困倦；强壮的也必全然跌倒。

你们从前算不得子民，现在却作了神的子民；从前未曾蒙怜恤，现在却蒙了怜恤。

我们既有这样的盼望，就大胆讲说，
