惟溫柔於爾中、猶乳媼煦嫗其子、

只在你们中间存心温柔，如同母亲乳养自己的孩子。

身为基督的使徒，我们理当受到你们的尊重，然而我们像母亲抚育婴儿一样温柔地对待你们。

我们身为基督的使徒，虽然可以加给你们重担，但是我们在你们当中成了温柔的，就像哺乳的母亲顾惜自己的儿女那样。

只在你們中間存心溫柔，如同母親乳養自己的孩子。

身為基督的使徒，我們理當受到你們的尊重，然而我們像母親撫育嬰兒一樣溫柔地對待你們。

我們身為基督的使徒，雖然可以加給你們重擔，但是我們在你們當中成了溫柔的，就像哺乳的母親顧惜自己的兒女那樣。

我慈爾、猶乳媼育赤子、

惟寛柔在爾中、如乳媼之育赤子、

惟知自謙自抑、赤忱與爾相處、一如慈母之煦嫗其子女；

Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children,

Instead, we were like young children when we were with you. As a mother feeds and cares for her little children,

But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nurse nurtures her own children.

But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children,

But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother nurtures her own children.

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

although we could have imposed our weight as apostles of Christ; instead we became little children among you. Like a nursing mother caring for her own children,

But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

爾亦知我儕如何視爾各人、猶父之於子、勸勉、安慰、指證、

我必慰爾、若母慰子、爾在耶路撒冷、必得慰藉、

王為養父、后為乳母、面伏於地、拜於爾前、舐爾足塵、爾則知我乃耶和華、凡仰望我者、不致愧怍、

主之僕不宜爭競、乃以溫和處眾、善施教、忍受侮、違逆者、宜以謙和規正之、庶上帝賜以悛心、俾識真理、

昔彼因弱被釘十架、然由上帝之能而生、我儕亦與之俱弱、然由上帝向爾之能、將與之俱生、

我心溫柔謙遜、宜負我軛而學我、則爾心獲安、蓋我軛易、我負輕也、

我必牧之於芳草之場、其牢在以色列高地之山、彼必臥於美牢、牧於腴壤、在以色列山岡、主耶和華曰、我必自牧我羊、使之攸伏、迷亡者我必尋之、被驅者我必反之、傷者裹之、病者扶之、肥者強者、我必滅之、以公義牧之、

如牧飼羊、手集羔羊、而抱於懷、徐導哺乳之牝羊、○

食畢、耶穌謂西門彼得曰、約翰子西門、爾較斯眾尤愛我乎、對曰、主、然、爾知我愛爾矣、曰、飼我羔、又謂之曰、約翰子西門、爾愛我乎、對曰、主、然、爾知我愛爾矣、曰、牧我羊、三謂之曰、約翰子西門、爾愛我乎、彼得因耶穌三言爾愛我乎、則憂、曰、主、爾無不知、爾知我愛爾矣、耶穌曰、飼我羊、

曰、主知我之子女猶稚、而牛羊方字、若一日亟驅之、則羣畜盡死、請我主前往、僕率子女牲畜、依其步履、徐徐而進、詣我主於西珥、

斯民豈我所孕、豈我所育、爾乃謂我、汝其抱之於懷、猶父之懷乳子、攜至誓許其祖之地、

惟自上之智、則首貞潔、次和平、溫良、柔順、充以矜恤與善果、無貳無偽、

我保羅晤對則卑、暌違則勇者、以基督之溫柔和平勸爾、

於弱者則為弱者、以獲弱者、於眾則如眾、多方以救數人、

惟聖神之果、乃仁愛、喜樂、和平、恆忍、慈惠、良善、忠信、溫柔、節制、如此者、無律禁之、

在曠野包容之、約四十年、

我偕爾時、荏弱驚懼、戰慄不勝、
