No matter what happens, live in a way that brings honor to the good news about Christ. Then I will know that you remain strong together in the one Spirit. I will know this if I come and see you or only hear about you. I will know that you work together as one person. I will know that you work to spread the teachings about the good news.

只要你们行事为人与基督的福音相称，叫我或来见你们，或不在你们那里，可以听见你们的景况，知道你们同有一个心志，站立得稳，为所信的福音齐心努力。

最重要的是：你们行事为人要与基督的福音相称，这样，无论我来见你们，或不在你们那里，都可以听到你们的景况，知道你们同有一个心志，站立得稳，为福音的信仰齐心努力，

最重要的是：你们行事为人要与基督的福音相称，这样，无论我来见你们，或不在你们那里，都可以听到你们的景况，知道你们同有一个心志，站立得稳，为福音的信仰齐心努力，

最要紧的是：你们行事为人要与基督的福音相称。这样，不管是去看你们，还是只听到你们的消息，我都能知道你们同心合意，坚定不移地一起为福音奋斗，

不过，你们行事为人（“行事为人”原文也可译作“作公民”）应当和基督的福音相配。这样，无论我来见你们或是不在你们中间，都可以听到你们的情况，就是你们有同一的心志，站立得稳，为了福音的信仰齐心努力，

只是你们行事为人要配得上基督的福音，好让我无论是来见你们，还是不在你们那里的时候，都可以听到有关你们的事，就是你们怀有一个心志站立得稳，同心合意地为福音的信仰一起奋战；

不過，你們行事為人（“行事為人”原文也可譯作“作公民”）應當和基督的福音相配。這樣，無論我來見你們或是不在你們中間，都可以聽到你們的情況，就是你們有同一的心志，站立得穩，為了福音的信仰齊心努力，

不過你們作公民、總要對得起基督的福音，使我或者來、而見着你們，或者不在一起、而是只聽見你們的情形，得知你們都有一樣的精神站穩，一心一意為福音的信仰而共同競鬥，

只是你們行事為人要配得上基督的福音，好讓我無論是來見你們，還是不在你們那裡的時候，都可以聽到有關你們的事，就是你們懷有一個心志站立得穩，同心合意地為福音的信仰一起奮戰；

惟爾處世、須合乎基督之福音、使我或就爾、或離爾、得聞爾事、即爾堅立於一心一志、為福音之道而戰、

然爾行事、必宜於基督福音、則我或晤對、或暌違、聞爾一心堅立、合意恊力為福音之道、

惟爾行事、當與基督福音相稱、則我或來見爾、或在遠方、聞爾之事、可知爾曹一心堅立、同一志為福音之道而戰、戰或作協力

所望爾等立身處世、日用之間、在在以無忝基督之福音為念；且不僅於爾我相晤時為然、即暫相睽隔、亦願聞爾等團結一致、堅立不移、

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.

I am a prisoner because of the Lord. So I am asking you to live a life worthy of what God chose you for.

Dear friends, I know you are looking forward to this. So try your best to be found pure and without blame. Be at peace with God.

Brothers and sisters, I make my appeal to you. I do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that all of you agree with one another in what you say. I ask that you don’t take sides. I ask that you are in complete agreement in all that you think.

Be on your guard. Remain strong in the faith. Be brave.Be loving in everything you do.

So does belonging to Christ help you in any way? Does his love comfort you at all? Do you share anything in common because of the Holy Spirit? Has Christ ever been gentle and loving toward you?If any of these things has happened to you, then agree with one another. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and in the way you think and act. By doing this, you will make my joy complete.

Dear friends, I really wanted to write to you about the salvation we share. But now I feel I should write and ask you to stand up for the faith. God’s holy people were trusted with it once and for all time.

Then you will be able to lead a life that is worthy of the Lord. We pray that you will please him in every way. So we want you to bear fruit in every good thing you do. We pray that you will grow to know God better.

The Holy Spirit makes you one in every way. So try your best to remain as one. Let peace keep you together.There is one body and one Spirit. You were appointed to one hope when you were chosen.There is one Lord, one faith and one baptism.There is one God and Father of all. He is over everything. He is through everything. He is in everything.

Each of us has one body with many parts. And the parts do not all have the same purpose.So also we are many persons. But in Christ we are one body. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts.

Now I want to talk about some other matters, brothers and sisters. We taught you how to live in a way that pleases God. In fact, that is how you are living. In the name of the Lord Jesus we ask and beg you to do it more and more.

There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ.We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. It didn’t matter whether we were Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free people. We were all given the same Spirit to drink.So the body is not made up of just one part. It has many parts.Suppose the foot says,“ I am not a hand. So I don’t belong to the body.” By saying this, it cannot stop being part of the body.And suppose the ear says,“ I am not an eye. So I don’t belong to the body.” By saying this, it cannot stop being part of the body.If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell?God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be.If all the parts were the same, how could there be a body?As it is, there are many parts. But there is only one body.The eye can’t say to the hand,“ I don’t need you!” The head can’t say to the feet,“ I don’t need you!”In fact, it is just the opposite. The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are the ones we can’t do without.The parts that we think are less important we treat with special honor. The private parts aren’t shown. But they are treated with special care.The parts that can be shown don’t need special care. But God has put together all the parts of the body. And he has given more honor to the parts that didn’t have any.In that way, the parts of the body will not take sides. All of them will take care of one another.If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part shares in its joy.You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it.First, God has placed apostles in the church. Second, he has placed prophets in the church. Third, he has placed teachers in the church. Then he has given to the church miracles and gifts of healing. He also has given the gift of helping others and the gift of guiding the church. God also has given the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages.Is everyone an apostle? Is everyone a prophet? Is everyone a teacher? Do all work miracles?Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in languages they had not known before? Do all explain what is said in those languages?But above all, you should want the more important gifts. But now I will show you the best way of all.

My dear friends, you have always obeyed God. You obeyed while I was with you. And you have obeyed even more while I am not with you. So continue to work out your own salvation. Do it with fear and trembling.

I have told you these things many times before. Now I tell you again with tears in my eyes. Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ.The only thing they have coming to them is death. Their stomach is their god. They brag about what they should be ashamed of. They think only about earthly things.But we are citizens of heaven. And we can hardly wait for a Savior from there. He is the Lord Jesus Christ.He has the power to bring everything under his control. By his power he will change our earthly bodies. They will become like his glorious body.My brothers and sisters, in this way remain strong in the Lord. I love you and long for you. Dear friends, you are my joy and my crown.

All the believers were agreed in heart and mind. They didn’t claim that anything they had was their own. Instead, they shared everything they owned.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace!

Finally, brothers and sisters, be joyful! Work to make things right with one another. Help one another and agree with one another. Live in peace. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.

I will give them a single purpose in life. Then, they will always have respect for me. Then all will go well for them. And it will also go well for their children after them.

The Lord will stand up for them in court. He will require the lives of people who have taken the lives of those in need.

“ I do not pray only for them. I pray also for everyone who will believe in me because of their message.Father, I pray they will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me.
