Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles— free from those laws. You did not mistreat me when I first preached to you.

弟兄们，我劝你们要像我一样，因为我也像你们一样。你们一点没有亏负我。

I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.

I make my appeal to you, brothers and sisters. I’m asking you to become like me. After all, I became like you. You didn’t do anything wrong to me.

Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong.

I beg you, brothers and sisters: Become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have not wronged me;

I beg of you, brothers and sisters, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all.

I beseech you, brethren, become as I am, for I also am become as ye are. Ye did me no wrong:

I beg you, brothers: Become like me, for I also became like you. You have not wronged me;

Brethren, I beseech you, be as I[ am]; for I[ am] as ye[ are]: ye have not injured me at all.

I beg you, brothers and sisters, become like me, because I have become like you. You have done me no wrong!

I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong,

I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble hurt all of you more than he hurt me.

Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked,“ Will you join me in battle to recover Ramoth gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel,“ Why, of course! You and I are as one. My troops are your troops, and my horses are your horses.”

But here is a solution. If every man among you will be circumcised like we are,

As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.

I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done.Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ

I am asking you to respond as if you were my own children. Open your hearts to us!

When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law.When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.

But the Jewish believers here in Jerusalem have been told that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn their backs on the laws of Moses. They’ve heard that you teach them not to circumcise their children or follow other Jewish customs.

When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others,“ Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions?

Dear brothers and sisters, may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
