I think it is right for me to remind you. It is right as long as I live in this tent. I’m talking about my body.

我以为应当趁我还在这帐棚的时候提醒你们，激发你们；

我认为趁我还在这帐棚的时候，应该激发你们的记忆，

我认为趁我还在这帐棚的时候，应该激发你们的记忆，

我觉得应当趁着我还在世的时候提醒你们，激励你们，

趁着我还在世上（“在世上”原文作“在这帐棚”）的时候，我认为应当提醒你们，使你们常常警醒，

我认为，只要我还在这帐篷里，就理当用提醒的话来激发你们，

我以為應當趁我還在這帳棚的時候提醒你們，激發你們；

我認為趁我還在這帳棚的時候，應該激發你們的記憶，

我認為趁我還在這帳棚的時候，應該激發你們的記憶，

我覺得應當趁著我還在世的時候提醒你們，激勵你們，

趁著我還在世上（“在世上”原文作“在這帳棚”）的時候，我認為應當提醒你們，使你們常常警醒，

我以為儘我還在這帳幕的時候，以提醒來激發你們、是正當的。

我認為，只要我還在這帳篷裡，就理當用提醒的話來激發你們，

我尚在此幕時、勉爾記憶、宜也、

我生斯世、猶在帷幕之中、使爾憶道、吾以為宜、

蓋我尚在此幕之時、勸勉爾、使爾憶此諸事、我以為宜然也、

蓋吾一日寓此塵宅、即一日有予爾激發之天職；

I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,

I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,

And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live.

I think it is right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to wake you up with a reminder,

I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder,

Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

I consider it right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to wake you up with a reminder,

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting[ you] in remembrance;

Indeed, as long as I am in this tabernacle, I consider it right to stir you up by way of a reminder,

I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders. I want to encourage you to think in a way that is pure.

I know my tent will soon be removed. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made that clear to me.

Keep on remembering those in prison. Do this as if you were together with them in prison. And remember those who are treated badly as if you yourselves were suffering.

We are certain about that. We would rather be away from our bodies and at home with the Lord.

We know that the earthly tent we live in will be destroyed. But we have a building made by God. It is a house in heaven that lasts forever. Human hands did not build it.During our time on earth we groan. We long to put on our house in heaven as if it were clothing.Then we will not be naked.While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don’t want to be naked. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life.

This is why I remind you to help God’s gift grow, just as a small spark grows into a fire. God put his gift in you when I placed my hands on you.

So the Lord stirred up the spirits of Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Joshua the high priest. The Lord also stirred up the rest of the people to help them. Then everyone began to work on the temple of the Lord who rules over all. He is their God.

So I will always remind you of these things. I’ll do it even though you know them. I’ll do it even though you now have deep roots in the truth.
