蓋爾所受之特寵、不惟在信仰基督、亦在為彼受難忍苦耳。

因为你们蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，并要为他受苦。

因为你们蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，而且要为他受苦。

因为你们蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，而且要为他受苦。

因为上帝为了基督的缘故，赐恩使你们不但信基督，而且为祂受苦，

因为神为了基督的缘故赐恩给你们，使你们不单是信基督，也是要为他受苦；

原来你们为基督所蒙的恩是：不仅要信基督，而且还要为他受苦，

因為你們蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，並要為他受苦。

因為你們蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，而且要為他受苦。

因為你們蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，而且要為他受苦。

因為上帝為了基督的緣故，賜恩使你們不但信基督，而且為祂受苦，

因為神為了基督的緣故賜恩給你們，使你們不單是信基督，也是要為他受苦；

因為已經恩賜你們、為了基督的緣故、不但得以信靠他，而且得以替他受苦，

原來你們為基督所蒙的恩是：不僅要信基督，而且還要為他受苦，

蓋因基督賜爾、不第信之、亦為之受苦、

爾曹宗基督、不第信之、且為之受苦、皆由上帝所賜、

蓋天主為基督賜爾不但信基督、亦為之受苦、

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

Here is what he has given you to do for Christ. You must not only believe in him. You must also suffer for him.

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,

For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.

For it has been granted to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf,

For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

For it has been given to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

For it has been granted to you not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for him,

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

應知此乃可喜之事。蓋爾等既得與基督共患難、則於彼光榮顯現之日、必得與之同樂、將不知手之舞之、足之蹈之矣。

宗徒既離公會、心竊自喜、竟蒙特寵、得為聖名而受辱、何樂如之。

我兄弟如陷於殷憂多難之中、則當引以為樂。

不寧惟是、吾人雖處患難、心中恆有至樂。蓋知患難所以生堅忍、

勸眾堅心、信道勿移、曰：『吾人欲入天主之國、必須經歷多難。』

爾等為予之故、而被人詬詈迫辱、多方誣衊者、斯為真福、是宜歡欣踴躍、灑然而樂。蓋爾之天爵大矣。前輩先知被人迫辱、亦猶是耳。

蓋爾因信而蒙救、實憑聖寵；凡此皆非爾所固有、純出天主之惠賜。

凡納之者。厥名是信。授以權能。超凡入聖。天主兒女。卓哉身分。若輩之生。非緣血氣。惟自天主。無與人意。

苟無遣予者聖父之攝引、無人能歸於予。歸予者、予必復活之於末日。先知書中有云：「萬民將受天主之訓；」凡有聞於聖父、而宅心知訓者、必來歸予。

蓋爾等受洗時、實已與之同葬、且因信賴復活基督者天主之神力、而與之同復活矣。

既至、召集會眾、縷述天主假手所行諸事；且謂天主已為異邦人洞開信道之門矣。

凡摩西律法之所不能使爾稱義者、苟能信賴耶穌、則無在而不稱義矣。

耶穌曰：『福哉若納子西門：蓋以此啟汝者、非屬血氣肉情；在天吾父、實牖爾衷。

一切美德嘉惠、莫不來自天上、降自光明之父。惟父恆常不變、永無晦蝕。惟父憑其自由聖意、以真實無妄之道、予吾人以再造、俾充先薦之果、而與萬物更始；
