我慈爾、猶乳媼育赤子、

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。

惟溫柔於爾中、猶乳媼煦嫗其子、

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.

爾知我勸慰、丁寧爾眾、猶父之勵厥子、

我必慰爾、若母慰子、使爾復歸耶路撒冷、

王為父、后為母、撫育爾子、俯伏拜跪爾前、舐爾足塵、使爾知我乃耶和華、凡恃我者、永不愧怍。

惟主之僕勿爭競、必慈以處眾、施教則善、受侮則忍、逆理者、迪以柔和、庶上帝錫以悛心、俾識真理、

昔基督柔、被釘十字架、賴上帝能而復生、我濟宗基督亦柔、賴上帝能、必與之生於爾中、

我溫柔謙遜、負我軛而學我、則爾心獲安、蓋吾軛易、吾負輕也、

我必豢養之、俾適樂郊、以色列高岡之巔、爰有羊牢、以之賜彼、使之偃卧於樂嘉之苑、齧蒭於芳草之場、即以色列族之山也。我必牧羊、使之孔安、我耶和華已言之矣。迷於歧途者、我必追之、為人驅逐者、我必反之、裹其傷殘、扶其荏弱、強者肥者、我亦護之、俾群羊咸被德澤、

牧民如羊、懷抱羔羊、導方字之牝羊。

卒食、耶穌謂西門彼得曰、約拿子西門、爾較斯眾、尤愛我乎、曰、然、主知我愛爾矣、曰、牧我羔、又曰、約拿子西門、爾愛我乎、曰、然、主知我愛爾矣、曰、牧我羊、則又曰、約拿子西門、爾愛我乎、彼得見三問愛我、憂曰、主無所不知、知我愛爾矣、耶穌曰牧我羊、

曰、主知我之子女猶稚、我之牛羊方字、若疾驅之一日、而群畜死矣。請主前往、僕率子女牲畜、依其所能、迤邐而進、至主所處西耳地。

我豈生育斯民哉、奚可使我提抱、猶父之懷赤子、攜至爾所許其祖之地乎。

由上之智、即廉潔、和平、溫良、寛恕、恆存矜恤善行、絕諸偏視偽為、

余保羅、即之也溫、望之儼然、學基督之溫柔寛裕勸爾、

於知未至者我效之、以救乎知未至者、於眾而效眾、庶救數人、

若夫神之結實、仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、慈祥、良善、忠信、溫柔、操節、為此者非法所能禁、

在曠野四十年包容之、

我居爾中、荏弱驚懼、戰慄不勝、
