But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

反倒在各样的事上表明自己是神的用人，就如在许多的忍耐、患难、穷乏、困苦、

反倒在各样的事上表明自己是上帝的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患难、困苦、灾难、

反倒在各样的事上表明自己是神的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患难、困苦、灾难、

反倒在任何事上都显明自己是上帝的仆人。不论遭遇什么患难、艰苦、贫穷、

反而在各样的事上，表明自己是神的仆人，就如持久的忍耐、患难、贫乏、困苦、

反而在一切事上都证明自己是神的仆人：在极大的忍耐中，在各种患难、艰难、困苦中，

反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是神的用人，就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦、

反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是上帝的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患難、困苦、災難、

反倒在各樣的事上表明自己是神的用人：就如在持久的忍耐、患難、困苦、災難、

反倒在任何事上都顯明自己是上帝的僕人。不論遭遇什麼患難、艱苦、貧窮、

反而在各樣的事上，表明自己是神的僕人，就如持久的忍耐、患難、貧乏、困苦、

我們乃是在各樣事上證明自己作為上帝的僕役：用大堅忍、在苦難艱難困迫中、

反而在一切事上都證明自己是神的僕人：在極大的忍耐中，在各種患難、艱難、困苦中，

惟諸事自薦為上帝役、有若恆忍、患難、空乏、阨窮、

而以吾行事、自薦為上帝僕、有若多忍、患難、災害、阨窮、

乃諸事自表為天主之僕、即多忍、患難、窮乏、

故吾人立身處世、在在欲自表為天主之忠僕、事事堅忍；故患難也、匱乏也、困苦也、

Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;

Instead, we make it clear that we serve God in every way. We serve him by standing firm in troubles, hard times and suffering.

but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,

In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind.

Instead, as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardships, by difficulties,

but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in difficulties,

but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

But as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardship, by difficulties,

But in all[ things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

But as God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in distresses,

but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?As it is written:“ For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness—

To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.

Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say,“ Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples,‘ Where is their God?’”

If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra— what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness— God is witness.Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

But you shall be named the priests of the Lord, They shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast.

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,

If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?

And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

The grain offering and the drink offering Have been cut off from the house of the Lord; The priests mourn, who minister to the Lord.

and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

“ Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—

By your patience possess your souls.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.

Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

Are they ministers of Christ?— I speak as a fool— I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

therefore, brethren, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.

For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.
