蓋我身雖暌違、心則偕爾、喜見爾篤信基督、秩然有序、○

我身雖遠、而神馳左右、見爾秩然有序、篤信基督、甚為爾喜、

我身雖遠、而心則與爾偕、見爾秩然有序、堅信基督、我則甚喜、

For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.

So even though I am away from you in body, I am with you in spirit. And I am glad to see that you are controlling yourselves. I am happy that your faith in Christ is so strong.

For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.

For I may be absent in body, but I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see how well ordered you are and the strength of your faith in Christ.

For even though I am absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your orderly manner and the stability of your faith in Christ.

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

務望恆自儆醒、堅信不拔、莊敬日強、剛毅不屈、庶幾不愧為大丈夫。

兄弟乎、我儕雖暫與爾等睽隔、然中心愛慕、與日俱長。

務希堅信不拔、全力以抗。應知普世兄弟、現正遭受同一患難。

吾身雖在遠方、心則與爾等相俱；於此亂倫之人、予已判其罪矣。爾等奉耶穌基督名義召集會議、吾之神魂亦必參加斯會；

惟一切務求井然有序無失體統耳。

故望我親愛之兄弟確乎不拔、屹然不動、恆在主之工作中發榮滋長、蔚為大觀；固知爾在主中所有艱辛困苦、不為徒勞耳。

應知吾人能堅信不渝、始終如一、則與基督融為一體矣。

故望兄弟深思遠慮、小心翼翼、毋為不肖者之謬說所搖奪、而失其所守。務宜在吾救主耶穌基督之聖寵及認識上、日有長進也。願主受享光榮、自今茲、迄永世、心焉祝之。

毋效乃父。頑梗成性。懷主不篤。厥心不正。

雖立盟誓。厥言是食。

爾等如能確乎不拔、抱主以終、則吾儕之生機煥發矣。

此恩諾實為吾人停泊之所、前途遠大、希望無窮、穩而且固。此望也、乃吾人靈魂之鐵錨、而糺於閟帷深處者也。

飢則可食於家、庶幾免乎因聚會而獲咎也。餘事俟吾親來部署。

恆心守持宗徒之訓、踐履相愛之道、共食所析聖餅而祈禱焉。

爾等應知予為爾等及老底嘉同人之故、且為未曾睹面者之故、如何勞心焦思、而為之努力奮鬥也。予之為此、亦欲有以鼓勵同人之心、
