凡於善事而熱衷、斯為善、不獨我與爾同在時也、

在善事上，常用热心待人，原是好的，却不单我与你们同在的时候才这样。

在善事上，时刻热心待别人原是好的，却不只是我与你们同在的时候才这样。

在善事上，时刻热心待别人原是好的，却不只是我与你们同在的时候才这样。

有人热心待你们当然很好，但总要动机纯正、始终如一，不应该只是我和你们在一起时才热心待你们。

常常在善事上热心，总是好的；只是不要我在你们那里的时候才是这样。

不过在善事上常有热心，却是好的，但不要仅仅是我与你们在一起的时候才这样。

在善事上，常用熱心待人原是好的，卻不單我與你們同在的時候才這樣。

在善事上，時刻熱心待別人原是好的，卻不只是我與你們同在的時候才這樣。

在善事上，時刻熱心待別人原是好的，卻不只是我與你們同在的時候才這樣。

有人熱心待你們當然很好，但總要動機純正、始終如一，不應該只是我和你們在一起時才熱心待你們。

常常在善事上熱心，總是好的；只是不要我在你們那裡的時候才是這樣。

被人拿熱心用好意相待，而且時常如此，不單在我和你們同在時而已，才是好的。

不過在善事上常有熱心，卻是好的，但不要僅僅是我與你們在一起的時候才這樣。

夫為善而熱中者、善也、不第我晤對時宜然、即平居亦宜然、

為善而常熱心、善也、即我不在爾中、亦當如是、

然吾固願爾常能受人之愛戴、且不僅與吾相晤時為然也；所望其愛戴乃出於誠意耳。

It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.

It is fine to be committed to something, if the purpose is good. And you shouldn’t be committed only when I am with you. You should always be committed.

It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you,

If someone is eager to do good things for you, that’s all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I’m with you.

But it is always good to be pursued in a good manner— and not just when I am with you.

But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable way, and not only when I am present with you.

But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

Now it is always good to be enthusiastic about good— and not just when I am with you.

But[ it is] good to be zealously affected always in[ a] good[ thing], and not only when I am present with you.

However, it is good to be sought eagerly for a good purpose at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.

爾知我昔以形軀之弱、宣福音於爾、

我之熱衷鑠我、緣我敵忘爾言兮、

凡我所愛者、我責而懲之、故宜奮然改悔、

愛友乎、爾素承順、不惟於我同在時、即今暌違、益宜畏懼戰慄、以成爾之濟救、

彼為我儕捐己、贖我出諸不法、且潔其民以為己業、乃熱衷於善行者也、

惟爾處世、須合乎基督之福音、使我或就爾、或離爾、得聞爾事、即爾堅立於一心一志、為福音之道而戰、

以公義為護胸、以拯救為兜鍪、以復仇為衵服、以熱中為長衣、

其徒憶經所載云、為爾室焦灼、幾滅沒我矣、

故我所愛之兄弟、當貞固不搖、恆務主工、蓋知爾之勞於主者、非徒然也、

祭司亞倫孫、以利亞撒子非尼哈、以我嫉邪為心、致我釋怒於以色列人、當嫉邪時、不行殲滅、爾其告之、我將賜以平康之約、使彼及裔恆為祭司、蓋為其上帝嫉邪、為以色列民贖罪、

今我欲偕爾而易我言、蓋我為爾游移也、○

為爾室之熱衷灼我、斥爾者之詬詈歸我兮、
