I completely expect and hope that I won’t be ashamed in any way. I’m sure I will be brave enough. Now as always Christ will receive glory because of what happens to me. He will receive glory whether I live or die.

我企望無愧、平昔諤諤、今而後、或生或死、基督將因我躬丕顯矣、

Christ has paid the price for you. So use your bodies in a way that honors God.

But suppose you suffer for being a Christian. Then don’t be ashamed. Instead, praise God because you are known by the name of Christ.

“ Do not be afraid. You will not be put to shame anymore. Do not be afraid of being dishonored. People will no longer make fun of you. You will forget the time when you suffered as slaves in Egypt. You will no longer remember the shame of being a widow in Babylon.

But my life might even be poured out like a drink offering on your sacrifices. I’m talking about the way you serve because you believe. Even so, I am glad. I am joyful with all of you.

Everything God created looks forward to the future. That will be the time when his children appear in their full and final glory.

God is the God who gives peace. May he make you holy through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept free from blame. May you be without blame from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

We don’t live for ourselves only. And we don’t die for ourselves only.If we live, we live to honor the Lord. If we die, we die to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.Christ died and came back to life. He did this to become the Lord of both the dead and the living.

His concerns pull him in two directions. A single woman or a virgin is concerned about the Lord’s matters. She wants to serve the Lord with both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the matters of this world. She wants to know how she can please her husband.

I am already being poured out like a drink offering. The time when I will leave is near.I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.

Pray also for me. Pray that whenever I speak, the right words will be given to me. Then I can be bold as I tell the mystery of the good news.Because of the good news, I am being held by chains as the Lord’s messenger. So pray that I will be bold as I preach the good news. That’s what I should do.

Do I brag too much about the authority the Lord gave me? If I do, it’s because I want to build you up, not tear you down. And I’m not ashamed of that kind of bragging.

And hope will never bring us shame. That’s because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. This happened through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

But the Lord will save Israel. He will save them forever. They will never be put to shame or dishonored. That will be true for all time to come.

My God, keep me going as you have promised. Then I will live. Don’t let me lose all hope.

The Lord and King helps me. He won’t let me be dishonored. So I’ve made up my mind to keep on serving him. I know he won’t let me be put to shame.

I face death every day. That’s the truth. And here is something you can be just as sure of. I take pride in what Christ Jesus our Lord has done for you through my work.

We always carry around the death of Jesus in our bodies. In that way, the life of Jesus can be shown in our bodies.

He asked,“ Why are you crying? Why are you breaking my heart? I’m ready to be put in prison. In fact, I’m ready to die in Jerusalem for the Lord Jesus.”

May I follow your orders with all my heart. Then I won’t be put to shame. Kaph

I am happy because of what I am suffering for you. My suffering joins with and continues the sufferings of Christ. I suffer for his body, which is the church.

So I will always remind you of these things. I’ll do it even though you know them. I’ll do it even though you now have deep roots in the truth.I think it is right for me to remind you. It is right as long as I live in this tent. I’m talking about my body.I know my tent will soon be removed. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made that clear to me.I hope that you will always be able to remember these things after I’m gone. I will try very hard to see that you do.

Jesus said this to point out how Peter would die. His death would bring glory to God. Then Jesus said to him,“ Follow me!”

Christ died for everyone. He died so that those who live should not live for themselves anymore. They should live for Christ. He died for them and was raised again.

I can’t decide between the two. I long to leave this world and be with Christ. That is better by far.But it is more important for you that I stay alive.

Those who do right can expect joy. But the hopes of sinners are bound to fail.

Give thanks to God! He always leads us as if we were prisoners in Christ’s victory parade. Through us, God spreads the knowledge of Christ everywhere like perfume.God considers us to be the pleasing smell that Christ is spreading. He is spreading it among people who are being saved and people who are dying.To those who are dying, we are the smell of death. To those who are being saved, we are the perfume of life. Who is able to do this work?

And because I am a prisoner, most of the believers have become bolder in the Lord. They now dare even more to preach the good news without fear.

It is written,“ Look! In Zion I am laying a stone that causes people to trip. It is a rock that makes them fall. The one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 8:14; 28:16)

Brothers and sisters, God has shown you his mercy. So I am asking you to offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive. Your bodies are a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. When you offer your bodies to God, you are worshiping him in the right way.

“ My soul is troubled. What should I say?‘ Father, keep me from having to go through with this’? No. This is the very reason I have come to this point in my life.Father, bring glory to your name!” Then a voice came from heaven. It said,“ I have brought glory to my name. I will bring glory to it again.”

But my life means nothing to me. My only goal is to finish the race. I want to complete the work the Lord Jesus has given me. He wants me to tell others about the good news of God’s grace.

Because you are human, you find this hard to understand. So I am using an everyday example to help you understand. You used to give yourselves to be slaves to unclean living. You were becoming more and more evil. Now give yourselves to be slaves to right living. Then you will become holy.

Don’t give any part of yourself to serve sin. Don’t let any part of yourself be used to do evil. Instead, give yourselves to God. You have been brought from death to life. So give every part of yourself to God to do what is right.

There really is hope for you in days to come. So your hope will not be cut off.

I had bragged about you to him. And you have not let me down. Everything we said to you was true. In the same way, our bragging about you to Titus has also turned out to be true.

I trust in you. Don’t let me be put to shame. Don’t let my enemies win the battle over me.

Yes, I must find my rest in God. He is the God who gives me hope.
