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

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、

但我在世、更為切要、為爾之故也、

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

But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.

But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better.

Knowing this, I am convinced that I will remain alive so I can continue to help all of you grow and experience the joy of your faith.And when I come to you again, you will have even more reason to take pride in Christ Jesus because of what he is doing through me.

I know that false teachers, like vicious wolves, will come in among you after I leave, not sparing the flock.Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following.Watch out! Remember the three years I was with you— my constant watch and care over you night and day, and my many tears for you.
