故我不能忍、復遣人欲知爾之信、恐試者惑爾、而我儕之勞徒然、

为此，我既不能再忍，就打发人去，要晓得你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的到底诱惑了你们，叫我们的劳苦归于徒然。

为此，既然我不能再忍，就差派人去，要知道你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的果真诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦归于徒然。

为此，既然我不能再忍，就差派人去，要知道你们的信心如何，恐怕那诱惑人的果真诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦归于徒然。

因此，我无法再等下去了，就派提摩太到你们那里看看你们的信心如何，免得那诱惑人的诱惑了你们，使我们的心血都白费了。

因此，我既然不能再忍下去，就派人去打听你们的信心怎样；恐怕那试探人的诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦白费了。

为此，我既然不能再等了，就派提摩太去，要知道你们的信仰怎样，恐怕那试探者诱惑了你们，我们所劳苦的落了空。

緣此、我不能復忍、遣人欲知爾信、恐為試者所惑、而我徒勞、

放我不能忍、遣人欲知爾之信主、恐試者惑爾、而我徒勞、

因此吾迫不及待、儘先遣人探訪、藉欲知爾信德、深恐誘人之物乘間誘爾、則我等之所為孳孳不倦者、盡付東流矣。

For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.

That’s the reason I sent someone to find out about your faith. I couldn’t wait any longer. I was afraid that Satan had tempted you in some way. Then our work among you would have been useless.

For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.

That is why, when I could bear it no longer, I sent Timothy to find out whether your faith was still strong. I was afraid that the tempter had gotten the best of you and that our work had been useless.

For this reason, when I could no longer stand it, I also sent him to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that our labor might be for nothing.

For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be for nothing.

For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor might be in vain.

For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.

For this reason, when I could no longer stand it, I also sent him to find out about your faith, fearing that the tempter had tempted you and that our labor might be for nothing.

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

So when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter somehow tempted you and our toil had proven useless.

For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

試者就之曰、爾若天主之子、可令此石變餅、

人見誘、原文作被試下同勿言我為天主所誘、蓋天主不為惡所誘、亦不誘人、人而見誘、俱為己慾所引所惑、

執守生命之道、使我在基督日、有所可誇、因我所行所勞、非徒然也、

免撒但計勝我儕、蓋其詭謀、我儕無不知之矣、○

勿相負、惟彼此悅意、暫時異室、為得暇務禁食祈禱、則可、後仍相聚、恐撒但乘爾情不自禁而誘爾、

使我儕不復為小子、中人之巧詐詭譎、及其誘惑之法、而被諸異教之風、飄蕩搖動、

我自言曰、我勞枉然、竭力徒然無益、主必伸我冤、賞賚在我天主、

彼乃偽使徒、行事詭詐、貌為基督之使徒、此亦不足為奇、蓋撒但亦貌為光明之天使、彼之役、貌為義之役、亦不甚奇、終必受報、依其所行之事、○

我遵默示而上、以我在異邦所傳之福音告彼、惟私語其中有名之人、免我前所行、與後所將行者、歸於徒勞、

我昔至瑪其頓、身不得安、多遇困苦、外有爭戰、內有恐懼、惟天主慰卑微之人、以提多之來慰我、不但以彼來慰我、亦以彼在爾中所受之慰慰我、彼以爾之戀慕、憂傷、及向我之熱心告我、使我欣喜不勝、

故我儕因不能復忍、決意獨留於雅典、遣弟提摩太、即天主之役、與我儕同勞傳天主福音者、以堅固爾、勸慰爾、使爾信德愈大、

昔以基督恩召爾者、爾離之如是之速、而別從一福音、是我所奇異、此不足為福音也、但有人擾爾、欲傾覆基督之福音、或我儕、或天使、傳福音於爾、異於我所傳爾者、則當被阿拿提瑪、當被阿拿提瑪譯即當被詛之義我已言之、今復言之、若有人傳福音於爾、異於爾所受者、則當被阿拿提瑪、

我為爾懼、恐我為爾徒勞矣、○

我事天主以熱心、亦為爾如此熱心、蓋我已為一夫聘爾、將爾如貞潔童女、獻於基督、昔蛇以狡詐、誘惑夏娃、我懼爾心偏邪、失去信基督之誠、亦復如是、

越數日、保羅謂巴拿巴曰、我儕當復往我昔傳主道之諸邑、探視我兄弟何如、

今提摩太由爾處返、報我嘉音、言爾有信有愛、又言爾常懷念我儕、切欲見我儕、如我儕之欲見爾、

兄弟乎、爾知我儕至爾處、非徒然也、
