Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

我虽然靠着基督能放胆吩咐你合宜的事，

虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事，

虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事，

因此，我尽管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做当做的事，

我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事，

所以，虽然我在基督里大有胆量，可以吩咐你去做合宜的事，

我雖然靠着基督能放膽吩咐你合宜的事，

雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

因此，我儘管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做當做的事，

我在基督裡雖然可以放膽吩咐你作應作的事，

所以我在基督裏雖有膽量能把合宜作的事吩咐你，

所以，雖然我在基督裡大有膽量，可以吩咐你去做合宜的事，

故我雖於基督中以所宜者侃侃命爾、

我宗基督、得以所宜、侃侃命爾、

我賴基督、雖能以所宜者毅然命爾、

茲有美事、予本可托賴基督、毅然命爾行之；

Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,

Because of the authority Christ has given me, I could be bold. I could order you to do what you should do anyway.

Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required,

That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ because it is the right thing for you to do.

For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,

Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,

Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,

For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,

So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper,

Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor[ yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence[ am] base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:But I beseech[ you], that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold,( I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
