but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in difficulties,

反倒在各样的事上表明自己是神的用人，就如在许多的忍耐、患难、穷乏、困苦、

反倒在各样的事上表明自己是上帝的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患难、困苦、灾难、

反倒在各样的事上表明自己是神的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患难、困苦、灾难、

反倒在任何事上都显明自己是上帝的仆人。不论遭遇什么患难、艰苦、贫穷、

反而在各样的事上，表明自己是神的仆人，就如持久的忍耐、患难、贫乏、困苦、

反而在一切事上都证明自己是神的仆人：在极大的忍耐中，在各种患难、艰难、困苦中，

反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是神的用人，就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦、

反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是上帝的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患難、困苦、災難、

反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是神的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患難、困苦、災難、

反倒在任何事上都顯明自己是上帝的僕人。不論遭遇什麼患難、艱苦、貧窮、

反而在各樣的事上，表明自己是神的僕人，就如持久的忍耐、患難、貧乏、困苦、

我們乃是在各樣事上證明自己作為上帝的僕役：用大堅忍、在苦難艱難困迫中、

反而在一切事上都證明自己是神的僕人：在極大的忍耐中，在各種患難、艱難、困苦中，

惟諸事自薦為上帝役、有若恆忍、患難、空乏、阨窮、

而以吾行事、自薦為上帝僕、有若多忍、患難、災害、阨窮、

乃諸事自表為天主之僕、即多忍、患難、窮乏、

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、

Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;

Instead, we make it clear that we serve God in every way. We serve him by standing firm in troubles, hard times and suffering.

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

In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.

Instead, as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardships, by difficulties,

But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

But as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardship, by difficulties,

But in all[ things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

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

but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?Just as it is written:“ For Your sake we are killed all day long; We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure.

Up to this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed and roughly treated and homeless;and we labor, working with our own hands; when we are verbally abused, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.I know how to get along with little, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The distinguishing marks of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs, wonders, and miracles.

Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say,“ Spare Your people, Lord, And do not make Your inheritance a disgrace, With the nations jeering at them. Why should those among the peoples say,‘ Where is their God?’ ”

In pointing out these things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have been following.

strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously

For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not intending to please people, but to please God, who examines our hearts.For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed— God is our witness—nor did we seek honor from people, either from you or from others, though we could have asserted our authority as apostles of Christ.But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children,in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.For you recall, brothers and sisters, our labor and hardship: it was by working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, that we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly and rightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us,

I, John, your brother and fellow participant in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

But you will be called the priests of the Lord; You will be spoken of as ministers of our God. You will eat the wealth of nations, And you will boast in their riches.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church.

If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?

The Lord’s bond servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, skillful in teaching, patient when wronged,

except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that chains and afflictions await me.But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of God’s grace.

But as for you, use self restraint in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Therefore be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.Do not complain, brothers and sisters, against one another, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

This is the way any person is to regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off From the house of the Lord. The priests mourn, The ministers of the Lord.

and we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you for the benefit of your faith,so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we have been destined for this.

for I will show him how much he must suffer in behalf of My name.”

“ Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a Man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—

By your endurance you will gain your lives.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in trickery nor distorting the word of God, but by the open proclamation of the truth commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in the sight of God.

But women will be preserved through childbirth— if they continue in faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation.

You yourselves know that these hands served my own needs and the men who were with me.

Because you have kept My word of perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who live on the earth.

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.

Are they servants of Christ?— I am speaking as if insane— I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

for this reason, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;

For we are not like the many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by other people.

We urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
