予渴欲識之更深、而親領其復活之力量、且與之共受苦難追踵其死、

使我认识基督，晓得他复活的大能，并且晓得和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

使我认识基督，知道他复活的大能，并且知道和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

使我认识基督，知道他复活的大能，并且知道和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

我渴望认识基督和祂复活的大能，与祂一同受苦，甚至到死的地步，

使我认识基督和他复活的大能，并且在他所受的苦上有分，受他所受的死；

并且为要认识基督和他复活的大能，要在他的苦难里相契合，效法他的死，

使我認識基督，曉得他復活的大能，並且曉得和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

使我認識基督，知道他復活的大能，並且知道和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

使我認識基督，知道他復活的大能，並且知道和他一同受苦，效法他的死，

我渴望認識基督和祂復活的大能，與祂一同受苦，甚至到死的地步，

使我認識基督和他復活的大能，並且在他所受的苦上有分，受他所受的死；

使我認識基督、和他復活的大能力，以及和他一同受苦的團契，而有和他同死的形質，

並且為要認識基督和他復活的大能，要在他的苦難裡相契合，效法他的死，

俾知基督與其復起之能、並與其苦而效其死、

欲知基督復生之大用、共受其苦而效其死、

欲知基督及其復生之能、且知共受其苦而效其死、

I want to know Christ— yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

I want to know Christ better. Yes, I want to know the power that raised him from the dead. I want to join him in his sufferings. I want to become like him by sharing in his death.

that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,

My goal is to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

My aim is to know him, to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings, and to be like him in his death,

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

蓋吾已與基督同釘於十字架、而今茲生存者、不復為我、實基督假吾而生。吾今雖尚生於形體之中、亦惟憑信德而生。蓋吾固篤信愛我而為我捐軀之天主聖子也。

建言有之：『人若共其死、亦必共其生。人若共其辱、亦當共其榮。人若不認主、主亦無從認。

既為兒女、即為嗣子；既為天主之嗣子、則亦為基督之共同繼承人也。惟是吾人如欲與之共榮、則不可不先與之共苦共難耳。

及天主於信徒所施神力之廣大無邊也。蓋此神力、天主實已先施於基督之身、起之於死中、升之於諸天、位之於己右、超軼乎一切爵、權、德、統、諸品天神、及今世來世一切可名之名之上。

以予視之、一切莫非失也；惟認識吾主基督耶穌之為得耳。因此予已犧牲一切、而視之如糟粕、一心惟望贏得基督、

今爾既因基督之復活、而得新生、則宜力求上達、仰望位於天主右手之基督、

豈不知凡受洗而歸耶穌基督者、其故我乃因受洗而與之同死乎？既因受洗而與之同死、亦即與之同葬矣。既與之同葬、乃亦與之同被天父之恩光、而自死中復活。於是吾人所現有者、乃為煥然一新之生命。蓋吾人既克肖其死、亦宜克肖其復活也。應知吾人之故我、已與之同釘於十字架上；於是罪孽之身、已蕩然毀滅、而吾人不復為罪孽之奴矣。無他、死者已脫乎罪之羈絆故也。顧吾人既與基督同死亦必與之同生；此則吾人所深信而不疑者。且知基督既自死者中復活、則斷無復死之理、而死亦不復能為之主矣。其死也乃一時為贖罪而死；其生也則永久為天主而生。是故爾等亦當思所以仰體耶穌基督、死於罪而活於天主。

基督在肉體上既備受苦難、則爾等亦應毅然抱此宏願。蓋肉體受苦、則與罪絕緣、不復徇人欲、惟循天主聖意、以度餘生。

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。爾等若果因基督之名而受唾罵、福莫大焉！蓋誠能如此、則光榮大能之聖神、天主之聖神、以爾為安宅矣。

故予樂為爾等遭受苦難、且吾身所遭受者、實足以補基督苦難之所缺也。夫教會者、基督之體也；予既為教會之公僕、則為此體親嘗其苦難、

然吾人將何以證明已與之相識乎？亦惟守其誡命而已矣。

如此之人、亦即天主依其聖意而見召者也。蓋天主所預寵者、乃預簡之、俾克肖其聖子、欲使其聖子成為眾子中之冢息耳。

蓋彼雖一度憑其柔德、而被釘以死、今則憑天主大能而生矣。吾人茲亦秉其柔德、惟對於爾曹、吾儕亦當憑天主大德、而與基督共生也。

蓋吾儕固為基督飽嘗苦難、亦因基督而飽領神慰。

恆體耶穌之死、亦欲體耶穌之生也。蓋吾人雖有生、實無時不為耶穌而死、庶幾吾人血肉之軀、亦得載耶穌之生、而顯揚之耳。總之、吾人之死、亦所以促進爾等之生也。雖然、經不云乎、『中心所信、不能不言。』吾人既具此信仰精神、亦曰中心所信、不能不言而已矣。

耶穌曰：『予即復活！予即生命！凡置信於予者、雖死必生；生而置信於予者、永不死。汝信之否？』

人能識父為唯一真宰、及父所遣之耶穌基督、則永生即在斯中。

可頌哉、吾主耶穌基督之天主聖父也！天主大慈大悲、藉耶穌基督之復活、予吾人以新生、

天主既脫吾儕於萬死、且至今猶時時予以保障、故吾儕將一切希望託付於主、深信其必保障到底。

夫爾等本已死於罪中、縱情恣慾、漫無克制、而天主竟賜爾等與基督同生、惠然赦免吾人宿罪、

蓋死亡之來、由一人也；復活之興、亦由一人。眾因亞當而死、亦因基督而生。惟此中亦各按其序：基督實為先薦之果、而信奉基督者之復活、則有待乎基督之重臨；

誠能得基督寓爾心中、則肉體雖因罪而死、而神魂乃因義而生。苟得復活耶穌者之神寓於爾心、則彼既能起耶穌於死亦必憑其寓爾心中之神、復活爾有死之肉身矣。

予之舍生、純出自願、無強之者；予能舍之、亦能復取之；此乃予所受於吾父之成命也。』

曰：『我飲之爵、爾必飲之；至坐我左右、非我能賜、惟賜於吾父預為之備者。』

故憑其先見而論基督復活、謂其心靈固不淪於窅冥、而其身軀亦不遭朽腐也。天主之復活耶穌、吾儕實為見證。迨天主以右手舉而升之、渠乃受所許之聖神、遂以此神傾注於吾人、是即爾曹所親睹親聞者也。大維未升於天、第云「天主語吾主、安坐我右側；待我克群敵。以供爾踐踏。」義塞全族、當知爾所釘於十字架上之耶穌、即天主所立為主、為基督者也。』眾聞其言、中心如刺；語伯鐸祿及諸徒曰、『兄弟！吾將如之何？』伯鐸祿曰：『各宜悔悟、奉耶穌基督之名受洗、以滌罪愆、以受聖神。

蓋正如父之起死活人、子亦從心所欲、而賦人以生命。父不予人以黜陟、黜陟之權、已委之於子、欲使眾人敬子如敬父、凡不敬子者、即不敬遣子之父也。予切實告爾、人能聽從吾言、而信仰遣予來者、莫不享受永生、而免譴責、蓋已出死而入生矣。予切實語爾、時將屆矣、今即是也、死者當聞天主聖子之音、而聞之者咸得生焉。蓋父自具生命、賜子亦自具生命。以其為人子故、委以黜陟之權。慎勿以此為怪、蓋時有必至、凡在墓中者當聞厥音而興、善者復活以享永生、惡者復活以受天罰。

馴至我眾翕然歸於一信、共識天主聖子、俾躋完人之境、而止於基督之至善。

夫吾人既信耶穌之死而復活、亦應信天主必引諸凡安寢於耶穌懷中者、與之俱來也。抑又有進者、按主之言、即同道中於主重臨之日、尚存人世者、亦必不能較已亡者早達天國。

永生不變；死於一時、而生於永古；掌握死亡及地獄之管籥者。
