我虽然靠着基督能放胆吩咐你合宜的事，

虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事，

虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事，

因此，我尽管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做当做的事，

我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事，

所以，虽然我在基督里大有胆量，可以吩咐你去做合宜的事，

我雖然靠着基督能放膽吩咐你合宜的事，

雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

因此，我儘管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做當做的事，

我在基督裡雖然可以放膽吩咐你作應作的事，

所以我在基督裏雖有膽量能把合宜作的事吩咐你，

所以，雖然我在基督裡大有膽量，可以吩咐你去做合宜的事，

故我雖於基督中以所宜者侃侃命爾、

我宗基督、得以所宜、侃侃命爾、

我賴基督、雖能以所宜者毅然命爾、

茲有美事、予本可托賴基督、毅然命爾行之；

Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,

Because of the authority Christ has given me, I could be bold. I could order you to do what you should do anyway.

Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required,

That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ because it is the right thing for you to do.

For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,

Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,

Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,

For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper,

Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. (niv)

So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it. (niv)

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. (niv)

We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. (niv)

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!I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. (niv)

Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. (niv)

To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! Whatever anyone else dares to boast about— I am speaking as a fool— I also dare to boast about. (niv)
