Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

我保罗，就是与你们见面的时候是谦卑的，不在你们那里的时候向你们是勇敢的，如今亲自藉着基督的温柔、和平劝你们。

我—保罗与你们见面的时候是温和的，不在你们那里的时候向你们是勇敢的，如今亲自藉着基督的温柔和慈祥劝你们。

我—保罗与你们见面的时候是温和的，不在你们那里的时候向你们是勇敢的，如今亲自藉着基督的温柔和慈祥劝你们。

你们以为我在你们中间的时候很温和，不在你们中间的时候却很严厉。如今，我保罗以基督的谦卑和温柔亲自劝你们：

我保罗与你们见面的时候是谦卑的，不在你们那里的时候，却是放胆的。现在我亲自以基督的谦逊温柔劝你们，

我保罗与你们面对面的时候是卑微的，不在你们那里的时候向你们却是大胆的。现在我亲自以基督的温柔与谦和恳求你们：

我－保羅，就是與你們見面的時候是謙卑的，不在你們那裏的時候向你們是勇敢的，如今親自藉着基督的溫柔、和平勸你們。

我－保羅與你們見面的時候是溫和的，不在你們那裏的時候向你們是勇敢的，如今親自藉着基督的溫柔和慈祥勸你們。

我－保羅與你們見面的時候是溫和的，不在你們那裏的時候向你們是勇敢的，如今親自藉着基督的溫柔和慈祥勸你們。

你們以為我在你們中間的時候很溫和，不在你們中間的時候卻很嚴厲。如今，我保羅以基督的謙卑和溫柔親自勸你們：

我保羅與你們見面的時候是謙卑的，不在你們那裡的時候，卻是放膽的。現在我親自以基督的謙遜溫柔勸你們，

我保羅、以基督的柔和與溫良、親自勸你們——我，我這個在你們中間和你們面對面時「謙卑（！）」，而不同在時「放膽（！）」的——有人以為我們是憑着肉體行事，我以為我必須以自信之心大膽懲治這種人——我甚至於求你們、不要讓我於和你們同在時有這樣自信之心而放膽。

我保羅與你們面對面的時候是卑微的，不在你們那裡的時候向你們卻是大膽的。現在我親自以基督的溫柔與謙和懇求你們：

我保羅晤對則卑、暌違則勇者、以基督之溫柔和平勸爾、

余保羅、即之也溫、望之儼然、學基督之溫柔寛裕勸爾、

我保羅與爾覿面時為謙卑、與爾相離時為勇敢、我因基督之溫柔寛裕勸爾、

茲者我葆樂本人、欲憑基督之溫柔謙恭、有所求於爾焉。頗聞人言、予與爾相處、晤時則恭、暌時則踞。

By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you— I, Paul, who am“ timid” when face to face with you, but“ bold” toward you when away!

Christ is humble and free of pride. Because of this, I make my appeal to you. I, Paul, am the one you call“ shy” when I am face to face with you. But when I am away from you, you think I am“ bold” toward you.

I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—

Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ— though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.

Now I, Paul, myself, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:

Now I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ— I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence[ am] base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

Now I, Paul, appeal to you personally by the meekness and gentleness of Christ( I who am meek when present among you, but am full of courage toward you when away!)–

For,“ His letters”, they say,“ are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

“ Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this,“ He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.

Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold( I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you.For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

Isaiah is very bold and says,“ I was found by those who didn’t seek me. I was revealed to those who didn’t ask for me.”

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

who didn’t sin,“ neither was deceit found in his mouth.”When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

He will not strive, nor shout; neither will anyone hear his voice in the streets.He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a smoking flax, until he leads justice to victory.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.He has said to me,“ My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
