吾屢擬訪爾、意欲在爾中有所收穫、如在他邦。惟因種種阻礙、迄今未得成行；耿耿此心、尚祈諒詧。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我屡次定意往你们那里去，要在你们中间得些果子，如同在其余的外邦人中一样；只是到如今仍有阻隔。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我屡次计划往你们那里去，要在你们中间得些果子，如同在其余的外邦人中一样，只是到如今仍有拦阻。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我屡次计划往你们那里去，要在你们中间得些果子，如同在其余的外邦人中一样，只是到如今仍有拦阻。

弟兄姊妹，我希望你们知道，我曾多次计划去你们那里，要在你们中间收获一些福音的果子，像在其他外族人中一样，只是至今仍有拦阻。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不知道，我好几次预先定好了要到你们那里去，为了要在你们中间也得一些果子，像在其他的民族中间一样，可是直到现在还有阻碍。

弟兄们，我不愿意你们不明白：我多次计划到你们那里去，为要在你们那里也得一些果实，就像我在其他外邦人中那样，可是直到如今还受到拦阻。

弟兄們，我不願意你們不知道，我屢次定意往你們那裏去，要在你們中間得些果子，如同在其餘的外邦人中一樣；只是到如今仍有阻隔。

弟兄們，我不願你們不知道我屢次定意要往你們那裏去，好在你們中間得些果子，如同在其餘的外國人中一樣；只是到如今還被攔阻。

弟兄們，我不願意你們不明白：我多次計劃到你們那裡去，為要在你們那裡也得一些果實，就像我在其他外邦人中那樣，可是直到如今還受到攔阻。

兄弟乎、我願爾知、我每立志就爾、欲於爾中得果、如在他邦然、但至今仍有所阻、

兄弟乎、余甚欲爾知、我每立志就爾、願於爾中結果、如在他邦、然至今猶有所阻、

兄弟、我欲爾知、我屢立志就爾、欲在爾中得果、如在他國之人然、但至今猶有所阻、

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you( but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I planned many times to visit you. But until now I have been kept from coming. My work has produced results among the other Gentiles. In the same way, I want to see results among you.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you( but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I want to work among you and see spiritual fruit, just as I have seen among other Gentiles.

Now I don’t want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often planned to come to you( but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that often I have planned to come to you( and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also just as among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you( but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you( and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that I often planned to come to you( but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you,( but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you( and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

厥後、葆樂決意經馬其頓、亞該亞往耶路撒冷；自言至耶路撒冷後、必將一遊羅馬。

顧予所為汲汲者、不在爾之資助、而在為爾廣收慷慨之妙果耳。

兄弟乎、吾深恐爾等之自以為智、故不欲爾等之昧於此中微妙也。蓋部分義塞人之所以成為冥頑不靈者、乃有待乎異邦人之圓滿歸化。

對於已亡之人、勿過於哀傷、一如未具望德者之所為；此吾不欲兄弟之不知也。

方今普天之下、福音正在結實蕃衍、爾中亦復如是。蓋爾等自聞道以還

且吾不欲兄弟之昧於史訓也。昔吾列祖、悉皆托庇祥雲、行經滄海；

吾儕在亞西亞所遭遇之患難、不欲兄弟不之知也。當時吾儕所受之困阨、實非人力之所能當者、且自謂必不能倖免矣。

關於聖神之靈賦、吾亦不欲兄弟之懵然無知也。

當時惟主佑我、充我以大無畏精神、俾我猶克從容布道於異邦人、且竟能安然脫出獅口。

渴欲與爾團聚。我葆樂實已一再發念、輒為沙殫所阻、未克如願。

爾未擇予、而予擇爾、且命爾進而結實、長保厥實。如此、則爾因我名以求於父者、莫不見賜。

諺云：「一人所播、他人刈之、」旨哉言乎！

既至、召集會眾、縷述天主假手所行諸事；且謂天主已為異邦人洞開信道之門矣。

職是之故、我雖屢欲詣爾、輒為事牽、迄今未克如願。今在此無復發展餘地、且綦欲一償就爾之夙願、擬於赴西班牙途中、順道訪爾、與爾盡數日之歡、然後由爾歡送、壯我行色。惟目前吾須先赴耶路撒冷一行、以賑濟諸聖徒。蓋馬其頓及亞該亞教友、自告奮勇、慷慨輸將、以助耶路撒冷之窮苦聖徒；其所以自告奮勇、有此豪舉者、蓋由彼視之、實屬義不容辭之事耳。夫異邦人既得與耶路撒冷人同享其靈心之事、彼其以區區物質供之、豈為過乎？一俟此事辦竣、並將捐款交代清楚、即當經爾處、而赴西班牙。

即於他人為非宗徒、於爾曹予固宗徒也。蓋爾曹之歸主、即吾為宗徒之佐證、

感荷天主洪恩、常使吾人藉耶穌基督而得凱旋；足跡所至、莫不播揚真諦之芬芳。

在此互相信任之情緒中、吾本擬先就爾處、俾爾有所進益；復自爾處前往馬其頓、再由馬其頓回至爾處、最後乃自爾處啟程、而赴猶太。

且爾等一聞吾儕口授之天主福音、不以其為世俗之教、乃審知其實為天主聖道、而欣然納之。故聖道亦緣爾之篤信、而運其妙工於爾身；此尤吾儕之所引以為慰、而感謝天主不能自已者也。兄弟乎、爾等實堪與猶太奉耶穌基督之諸教會、並駕齊驅。蓋爾等所遭受於爾國人之手者、與彼等所遭受於猶太人者、如出一轍也。

剴切語汝、一粒麥種、設非落地而化、

眾皆默然。後聆巴拿巴、葆樂詳述天主假其手在異邦人中所行之靈異神蹟。

然吾亦何敢自誇；吾之所以能使異邦人歸化者、實由基督躬自成之、惟假吾之手而已。或以言語、或以行為、或以聖蹟、異能、何一非聖神之妙工乎？吾傳基督福音、足跡已遍耶路撒冷及其周圍之地、直達伊利利亞。吾之傳道、特選未聞基督聖名之各地、以免建築於他人之基上。

葆樂一行、以聖神禁其傳道於亞細亞、乃經弗呂家、加拉大、及抵每西亞境、欲赴庇推尼、而耶穌之神靈又不之許、

蓋主之聖道已由爾處向外發揚、不僅在馬其頓亞該亞而已、即在其他各地、爾等之篤信天主，已風傳遐邇、已不須吾儕之自為鼓吹矣。外間頗有人嘖嘖稱道吾儕如何獲爾之心、爾等如何拋棄偶像、歸依聖教、兢兢業業、奉事永生真實之天主、以待其聖子耶穌之臨格。聖子者、即天主所起於死者之中、而令吾人免於將臨之譴怒者也。

吾儕決不作超越範圍之誇耀；吾輩之範圍、以天主所畫者為限、而爾等則在此範圍之內。吾儕之於爾等實無鞭長莫及之勢、蓋吾儕已以基督福音庇覆爾等矣。吾儕亦未過份自誇、而貪他人之功以為己功也。但望爾等之信德、與日俱長；庶幾吾儕之範圍、亦得賴以擴張、所播福音當更遠矣。吾儕既不捨己耘人、亦不掠人之美。

蓋其不法之隱圖、已在醞釀、惟尚有為之阻礙者、故其一時未能遽發；一俟阻礙見除、

葆樂致敬、並以主命宣揚教義、及所行於異邦者盡告之。
