為善而常熱心、善也、即我不在爾中、亦當如是、

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。

凡於善事而熱衷、斯為善、不獨我與爾同在時也、

夫為善而熱中者、善也、不第我晤對時宜然、即平居亦宜然、

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.

爾知昔我身弱、傳福音與爾、

我心焦急、如火之焚、因我敵人忘乎主言、

凡我所愛者、我必責之懲之、故當奮勉悔改、

我所愛者乎、爾常順服、不第我與爾同在之時、今我與爾不同在、更當畏懼戰慄、成爾求救之工、

彼為我儕舍己、以贖我儕出於諸惡、亦潔我儕為其選民、熱心為善、

惟爾行事、當與基督福音相稱、則我或來見爾、或在遠方、聞爾之事、可知爾曹一心堅立、同一志為福音之道而戰、戰或作協力

以仁義為甲服之、以拯救為盔戴於首、以復仇為衣衣之、以熱中為袍被之、

門徒憶經所載云、我為爾室中心焦急、有如火焚、

是以我所愛之兄弟、當堅固不搖、常務主事、蓋事主而勞、非徒然也、

祭司亞倫孫以利亞撒子非尼哈、在以色列人中為我熱中、致我向以色列人息怒、在我忌邪發怒之時、不以之翦滅、故爾當告非尼哈曰、我必賜之以平康之約、此即立彼與其子孫永為祭司之約、因彼為其天主熱中、為以色列人贖罪、○

我今願偕爾、而更易我言、我為爾心疑不決、○

我為主之聖殿、中心焦急、有如火焚、人毀謗主、其謗言悉歸我身、
