雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

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，

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,

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

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,

我們作為基督的使徒，雖然可以受人尊重，卻沒有向你們或向別人求榮耀，反而在你們當中心存溫柔，如同母親哺乳自己的孩子。

主賜給我們權柄，是要造就你們，並不是要拆毀你們；我就是為這權柄稍微誇口也不覺得慚愧。

既然我們有這樣的盼望，就大有膽量，

我們從前在腓立比蒙難受辱，這是你們知道的，可是我們還是靠着上帝給我們的勇氣，在強烈反對中把上帝的福音傳給你們。

我－保羅與你們見面的時候是溫和的，不在你們那裏的時候向你們是勇敢的，如今親自藉着基督的溫柔和慈祥勸你們。有人認為我們是憑着血氣行事，我認為必須敢於對付這等人；我但求在那裏的時候，不必這樣勇敢。

淫詞、妄語和粗俗的俏皮話都不合宜；總要說感謝的話。

說來慚愧，在這方面好像我們是太軟弱了。然而，我說句蠢話，人在甚麼事上敢誇口，我也敢誇口。
