Remember those earlier days after you received the light. You remained strong in a great battle that was full of suffering.

你们要追念往日，蒙了光照以后所忍受大争战的各样苦难：

你们要追念往日；你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了许多痛苦的挣扎：

你们要追念往日；你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了许多痛苦的挣扎：

你们要回想当初的日子，那时你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了各种苦难的煎熬。

你们要回想从前的日子，那时，你们蒙了光照，忍受了许多痛苦的煎熬；

你们要回想原先的日子：当你们蒙了光照以后，忍受了许多痛苦挣扎；

你們要追念往日，蒙了光照以後所忍受大爭戰的各樣苦難：

你們要追念往日；你們蒙了光照以後，忍受了許多痛苦的掙扎：

你們要追念往日；你們蒙了光照以後，忍受了許多痛苦的掙扎：

你們要回想當初的日子，那時你們蒙了光照以後，忍受了各種苦難的煎熬。

你們要回想從前的日子，那時，你們蒙了光照，忍受了許多痛苦的煎熬；

你們要回想回想先前的日子；當時你們剛蒙了光照，就堅忍着受苦的大競鬥。

你們要回想原先的日子：當你們蒙了光照以後，忍受了許多痛苦掙扎；

爾當憶曩日蒙光照後、所忍諸難之大戰、

當憶曩曰、爾明道之始、屢忍患難、譬之戰爭、

當追憶前日、爾蒙光照之後、爾忍受多難、譬之戰爭、

爾等當一憶曩昔初蒙光照之日、爾等如何備嘗艱苦、頻遭橫逆、

Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.

But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,

Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering.

Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings.

But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

Remember the earlier days when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

But remember the former days when you endured a harsh conflict of suffering after you were enlightened.

But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;

What if some people fall away from the faith? It won’t be possible to bring them back. It is true that they have seen the light. They have tasted the heavenly gift. They have shared in the Holy Spirit.

Here is what he has given you to do for Christ. You must not only believe in him. You must also suffer for him.You are going through the same struggle you saw me go through. As you have heard, I am still struggling.

And Saul had agreed with the Sanhedrin that Stephen should die. On that day the church in Jerusalem began to be attacked and treated badly. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.Godly Jews buried Stephen. They mourned deeply for him.But Saul began to destroy the church. He went from house to house. He dragged away men and women and put them in prison.

Like a good soldier of Christ Jesus, join with me in suffering.A soldier does not take part in things that don’t have anything to do with the army. Instead, he tries to please his commanding officer.It is the same for anyone who takes part in a sport. They don’t receive the winner’s crown unless they play by the rules.The farmer who works hard should be the first to receive a share of the crops.Think about what I’m saying. The Lord will help you understand what all of it means.Remember Jesus Christ. He came from David’s family line. He was raised from the dead. That is my good news.I am suffering for it. I have even been put in chains like someone who has committed a crime. But God’s word is not held back by chains.So I put up with everything for the good of God’s chosen people. Then they also can be saved. Christ Jesus saves them. He gives them glory that will last forever.Here is a saying you can trust. If we died with him, we will also live with him.If we don’t give up, we will also rule with him. If we say we don’t know him, he will also say he doesn’t know us.Even if we are not faithful, he remains faithful. He must be true to himself.

I want you to know how hard I am working for you. I’m concerned for those who are in Laodicea. I’m also concerned for everyone who has not met me in person.

You struggle against sin. But you have not yet fought to the point of spilling your blood.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.Now there is a crown waiting for me. It is given to those who are right with God. The Lord, who judges fairly, will give it to me on the day he returns. He will not give it only to me. He will also give it to all those who are longing for him to return.

Only let us live up to what we have already reached.

Are you so foolish? You began by the Holy Spirit. Are you now trying to finish God’s work in you by your own strength?Have you experienced so much for nothing? And was it really for nothing?

Meanwhile, Saul continued to oppose the Lord’s followers. He said they would be put to death. He went to the high priest.He asked the priest for letters to the synagogues in Damascus. He wanted to find men and women who belonged to the Way of Jesus. The letters would allow him to take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

So remember what you have been taught and have heard. Hold firmly to it. Turn away from your sins. If you don’t wake up, I will come like a thief. You won’t know when I will come to you.

to open their eyes. I want you to turn them from darkness to light. I want you to turn them from Satan’s power to God. I want their sins to be forgiven. They will be forgiven when they believe in me. They will have their place among God’s people.’

Think about how far you have fallen! Turn away from your sins. Do the things you did at first. If you don’t, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

God said,“ Let light shine out of darkness.”( Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. His light gives us the light to know God’s glory. His glory is shown in the face of Christ.
