And that’s not all. I will bring even less honor to myself. I will bring even more shame on myself. But those female slaves you spoke about will honor me.”

我也必更加卑微，自己看为轻贱。你所说的那些婢女，她们倒要尊敬我。”

我也必更加卑微，自己看为低贱。至于你所说的那些使女，她们反而尊重我。”

我也必更加卑微，自己看为低贱。至于你所说的那些使女，她们反而尊重我。”

我要让自己更卑微，自视低贱，但你说的那些婢女会尊重我。”

我还要比今天这样更卑贱，我要自视卑微（按照《七十士译本》，“自视卑微”作“在你的眼中看为卑微”）。至于你所说的那些婢女，她们倒要尊重我。”

我也必更加卑微，自己看為輕賤。你所說的那些婢女，她們倒要尊敬我。」

我也必更加卑微，自己看為低賤。至於你所說的那些使女，她們反而尊重我。」

我也必更加卑微，自己看為低賤。至於你所說的那些使女，她們反而尊重我。」

我要讓自己更卑微，自視低賤，但你說的那些婢女會尊重我。」

我還要比今天這樣更卑賤，我要自視卑微（按照《七十士譯本》，“自視卑微”作“在你的眼中看為卑微”）。至於你所說的那些婢女，她們倒要尊重我。”

其實我還要比這更輕佻、讓你看為卑賤呢！至於你所說到的使女、她們倒要敬重我呢。』

我還要比這更顯為輕賤，自視卑微；至於你提到的那些婢女，她們卻會尊重我。」

今必更為鄙陋、自視卑賤、惟爾所言之婢、必尊崇我、

如因是事而藐視我、則我自待、必更卑微、然後爾所言之婢、將尊敬我。

我必更加自賤、自視卑微、至於爾所云之婢、彼反敬我、

I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”

I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.”

Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!”

and I will dishonor myself and humble myself even more. However, by the slave girls you spoke about, I will be honored.”

And I might demean myself even more than this and be lowly in my own sight, but with the female slaves of whom you have spoken, with them I am to be held in honor!”

And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”

And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, of them shall I be had in honor.

and I will humble myself even more and humiliate myself. I will be honored by the slave girls you spoke about.”

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this! But with the slave girls whom you mentioned let me be distinguished!”

I will be yet more vile than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.”

Suppose people say bad things about you because you believe in Christ. Then you are blessed, because God’s Spirit rests on you. He is the Spirit of glory.

Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith. And he is the one who completes the journey of faith. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

“ Listen to me, you who know what is right. Pay attention, you who have taken my instruction to heart. Do not be afraid when mere human beings make fun of you. Do not be terrified when they laugh at you.

So I hate myself. I’m really sorry for what I said about you. That’s why I’m sitting in dust and ashes.”

I let my enemies beat me on my bare back. I let them pull the hair out of my beard. I didn’t turn my face away when they made fun of me and spit on me.

Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.

“ Blessed are you when people make fun of you and hurt you because of me. You are also blessed when they tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.Be joyful and glad. Your reward in heaven is great. In the same way, people hurt the prophets who lived long ago.

“ I’m not worthy. How can I reply to you? I’m putting my hand over my mouth. I’ll stop talking.

You have been very kind and faithful to me. But I’m not worthy of any of this. When I crossed this Jordan River, all I had was my walking stick. But now I’ve become two camps.

“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He announced,‘ I promised that members of your family line would serve me as priests forever.’ But now the Lord announces,‘ I will not let that happen! I will honor those who honor me. But I will turn away from those who look down on me.

The apostles were full of joy as they left the Sanhedrin. They considered it an honor to suffer shame for the name of Jesus.Every day they taught in the temple courtyards and from house to house. They never stopped telling people the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

So make yourselves humble. Put yourselves under God’s mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.
