但我在世、更為切要、為爾之故也、

然而，我在肉身活着，为你们更是要紧的。

然而，我为你们肉身活着更加要紧。

然而，我为你们肉身活着更加要紧。

可是为了你们，我应该活在世上。

可是为了你们，我更需要活在世上。

可是为了你们的缘故，我更需要留在世上。

然而，我在肉身活着，為你們更是要緊的。

然而，我為你們肉身活着更加要緊。

然而，我為你們肉身活着更加要緊。

可是為了你們，我應該活在世上。

可是為了你們，我更需要活在世上。

不過仍然住在肉身裏呢，為着你們的緣故倒更必須。

可是為了你們的緣故，我更需要留在世上。

但居於形軀、為爾之故為尤要、

但在世有裨益於爾、倍加切要、

顧為爾等計、則尤需予之暫留塵世。

but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

But it is more important for you that I stay alive.

But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.

But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.

but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sakes.

Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you.

Nevertheless to abide in the flesh[ is] more needful for you.

but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.

Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

我誠告爾、我往、則為爾益、因我不往、則保慰者不來就爾、我若往、則必遣之就爾、

若我在世、固可增我之功果、然究當何擇、我不知也、

我既信此、則知我必仍存、與爾同在以益爾、以增爾之樂與信、我再至爾處、爾因基督所有之樂、爾因基督所有之樂或作爾因基督而誇者可藉我而增、○

蓋我知我去後、必有殘酷之狼、入爾曹中、不惜其群、即爾中亦將有人起、出背道之言、誘門徒以從之、故當警醒、憶我三年之久、晝夜不息、涕泣以勸爾各人、
