其实，他暂时离开你，或许正是为了使你可以永远得着他——

他暂时离开你，或者是叫你永远得着他，

他暂时离开你，也许是要让你永远得着他，

他暂时离开你，也许是要让你永远得着他，

或许他暂时离开你是为了让你以后永远得到他。

也许他暂时离开你，正是为了使你永远得着他，

他暫時離開你，或者是叫你永遠得着他，

他暫時離開你，也許是要讓你永遠得着他，

他暫時離開你，也許是要讓你永遠得着他，

或許他暫時離開你是為了讓你以後永遠得到他。

也許他暫時離開你，正是為了使你永遠得著他，

他暫時和你分離，或者是要讓你永遠收着他：

其實，他暫時離開你，或許正是為了使你可以永遠得著他——

彼暫離爾、或俾爾永有之、

彼與爾今或暫相離、後必恆相聚、

彼暫時與爾相離、焉知非使爾永遠得之乎、

以今思之、彼昔日之與爾暫離、或正所以促成爾等今後之永合耳。

Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—

Onesimus was separated from you for a little while. Maybe that was so you could have him back forever.

For this perhaps is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever,

It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever.

For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently,

For perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever,

For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,

For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;

现在，不要因你们把我卖到这里而自忧自恨；要知道，是神在你们之前派遣了我，为要拯救生命。如今，这地已经有两年的饥荒，还会有五年既没有耕种，也没有收成。神在你们之前派遣了我，为要在地上给你们存留余种，并要大施解救，使你们得以存活。这样看来，派遣我到这里来的，不是你们，而是神。他立我作法老之父，作他全家之主，又作埃及全地的管辖者。

从前你们有意要害我，但神在其中有他的美意，为要成就今日这样的结果，使许多人得以存活。

做成了你手和你计划所预定要成就的一切事。

到那日，沿海的居民必说：‘看哪！我们向来所仰望的，就是我们为了从亚述王手中得解救而逃往求助的，尚且如此，我们又怎能逃脱呢？’”

人的怒火，也会使你得称赞；怒火后的余剩之民，你也会用来束腰。
