For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

原来基督的爱激励我们；因我们想，一人既替众人死，众人就都死了；

原来基督的爱激励我们；因我们这样断定，一人既替众人死，众人就都死了；

原来基督的爱激励我们；因我们这样断定，一人既替众人死，众人就都死了；

因为基督的爱激励我们，因为我们确信：基督一人既代替所有的人死了，所有的人就都死了。

原来基督的爱催逼着我们，因为我们断定一个人替众人死了，众人就都死了。

实际上，基督的爱催逼着我们，因为我们如此判定：既然一个人替所有的人死了，所有的人就都死了；

原來基督的愛激勵我們；因我們想，一人既替眾人死，眾人就都死了；

原來基督的愛激勵我們；因我們這樣斷定，一人既替眾人死，眾人就都死了；

基督的愛催迫着我們；我們斷定：一個人既替眾人死了，眾人就都是死了。

實際上，基督的愛催逼著我們，因為我們如此判定：既然一個人替所有的人死了，所有的人就都死了；

蓋基督之愛策我矣、竊思一人為眾死、則眾已死、

基督之愛策我矣、竊思一人為眾死、則其眾當死、明矣、

基督之愛勉勵我、因我思一人既代眾死、則眾皆死、

蓋基督之仁愛、有使吾人欲罷不能者焉。竊思一人既代眾死、則眾人實已與之偕死。

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

Christ’s love controls us. We are sure that one person died for everyone. And so everyone died.

For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;

Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.

For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached this conclusion, that one died for all, and therefore all died.

For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died;

For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;

For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

But not as the offence, so also[ is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,[ which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see[ him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

For God[ is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,[ son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.He saith to him again the second time, Simon,[ son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.He saith unto him the third time, Simon,[ son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

May be able to comprehend with all saints what[ is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?Simon answered and said, I suppose that[ he], to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped[ them] with the hairs of her head.Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,[ the same] loveth little.

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

And you[ hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,( by grace ye are saved;)

For if the ministration of condemnation[ be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

Grace[ be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.<[ To[ the] Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.]>

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,[ and] hating one another.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love[ is] strong as death; jealousy[ is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof[ are] coals of fire,[ which hath a] most vehement flame.Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if[ a] man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

But if the ministration of death, written[ and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which[ glory] was to be done away:

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for[ the sins of] the whole world.

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know[ them], because they are spiritually discerned.

[ And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews[ that] Jesus[ was] Christ.

But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
