我在基督里虽然可以放胆吩咐你作应作的事，

我虽然靠着基督能放胆吩咐你合宜的事，

虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事，

虽然我靠着基督能放胆吩咐你做该做的事，

因此，我尽管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做当做的事，

所以，虽然我在基督里大有胆量，可以吩咐你去做合宜的事，

我雖然靠着基督能放膽吩咐你合宜的事，

雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

雖然我靠着基督能放膽吩咐你做該做的事，

因此，我儘管可以奉基督的名吩咐你去做當做的事，

我在基督裡雖然可以放膽吩咐你作應作的事，

所以我在基督裏雖有膽量能把合宜作的事吩咐你，

所以，雖然我在基督裡大有膽量，可以吩咐你去做合宜的事，

故我雖於基督中以所宜者侃侃命爾、

我宗基督、得以所宜、侃侃命爾、

我賴基督、雖能以所宜者毅然命爾、

茲有美事、予本可托賴基督、毅然命爾行之；

Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do,

Because of the authority Christ has given me, I could be bold. I could order you to do what you should do anyway.

Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required,

That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ because it is the right thing for you to do.

For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,

Therefore, though I have enough confidence in Christ to order you to do what is proper,

Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting,

Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,

For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right,

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

So, although I have quite a lot of confidence in Christ and could command you to do what is proper,

Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

也没有向你们或别人求取人的荣誉。我们身为基督使徒的，虽然有权利受人尊敬，但我们在你们中间却是谦和的，就像母亲乳养自己的孩子。

主把权柄赐给我们，是为了要造就你们，不是要破坏你们，就算我为这权柄夸口过分了一点，也不会觉得惭愧。

所以，我们既然有这样的盼望，就大大地放胆行事，

我们从前在腓立比虽然受了苦，又被凌辱，可是靠着我们的神，在强烈的反对之下，仍然放胆向你们述说神的福音，这是你们知道的。

我保罗与你们见面的时候是谦卑的，不在你们那里的时候，却是放胆的。现在我亲自以基督的谦逊温柔劝你们，求你们使我在你们那里的时候，不要满有自信地放胆对你们，我认为要以这样的自信，勇敢地对付那些以为我们是照着世俗的标准（“世俗的标准”原文作“肉体”）行事的人。

更不要讲淫秽和愚妄的话，或下流的笑话，这些都与你们不相称；却要说感谢的话。

说来惭愧，我们太软弱了。说句愚昧的话，如果有人在什么事上是勇敢的，我也是勇敢的。
