Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I’m going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives.

我小子啊，我为你们再受生产之苦，直等到基督成形在你们心里。

我的孩子们哪，我为你们再受生产之苦，直等到基督成形在你们心里。

我的孩子们哪，我为你们再受生产之苦，直等到基督成形在你们心里。

孩子们，为了你们，我像一位母亲再次经历生产的痛苦，一直到基督的生命在你们里面成形。

我的孩子们，为了你们我再受生产的痛苦，直到基督在你们里面成形。

我的孩子们哪，为了你们，我再次经受临产的阵痛，直到基督在你们里面成形！

我小子啊，我為你們再受生產之苦，直等到基督成形在你們心裏。

我的孩子們哪，我為你們再受生產之苦，直等到基督成形在你們心裏。

我的孩子們哪，我為你們再受生產之苦，直等到基督成形在你們心裏。

孩子們，為了你們，我像一位母親再次經歷生產的痛苦，一直到基督的生命在你們裡面成形。

我的孩子們，為了你們我再受生產的痛苦，直到基督在你們裡面成形。

我小子啊，我為你們再受產難之苦，直等到基督成了形質在你們身上。

我的孩子們哪，為了你們，我再次經受臨產的陣痛，直到基督在你們裡面成形！

小子乎、我復為爾劬勞、待基督之狀、成於爾衷、

小子乎、我復為爾劬勞、迨基督凝於爾心、

小子乎、我復為爾劬勞、待基督狀成於爾心、

嗟爾小子、吾今重為爾曹受分娩之痛苦矣。非至基督成形於爾心中、吾之劬勞、寧有已時。

My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

My dear children, I am in pain for you like I was when we first met. I have pain like a woman giving birth. And my pain will continue until Christ makes you like himself.

my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!

My children, I am again suffering labor pains for you until Christ is formed in you.

My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you—

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,

My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you—

My children, I am again suffering labor pains for you until Christ is formed in you.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

My children– I am again undergoing birth pains until Christ is formed in you!

My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you—

This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

And Moses said to the Lord,“ Why are you treating me, your servant, so harshly? Have mercy on me! What did I do to deserve the burden of all these people?Did I give birth to them? Did I bring them into the world? Why did you tell me to carry them in my arms like a mother carries a nursing baby? How can I carry them to the land you swore to give their ancestors?

Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

I am not writing these things to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.For even if you had ten thousand others to teach you about Christ, you have only one spiritual father. For I became your father in Christ Jesus when I preached the Good News to you.

But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy.

God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus.

I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus. I became his father in the faith while here in prison.

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Epaphras, a member of your own fellowship and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. He always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make you strong and perfect, fully confident that you are following the whole will of God.

Put on your new nature, created to be like God— truly righteous and holy.

Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.

For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.

I want you to know how much I have agonized for you and for the church at Laodicea, and for many other believers who have never met me personally.

He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.

I am writing to Titus, my true son in the faith that we share. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace.

I am writing to Timothy, my true son in the faith. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace.

He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.

Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.

I am writing to you who are God’s children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.

My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it. And I won’t mention that you owe me your very soul!

While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.

When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins.
