腓立比書 1:15
- 18
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.
But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
有的傳基督是出於嫉妒分爭,也有的是出於好意。
這一等是出於愛心,知道我是為辯明福音設立的;
那一等傳基督是出於結黨,並不誠實,意思要加增我捆鎖的苦楚。
這有何妨呢?或是假意,或是真心,無論怎樣,基督究竟被傳開了。為此,我就歡喜,並且還要歡喜;
腓立比書 2:15
- 16
so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
使你們無可指摘,誠實無偽,在這彎曲悖謬的世代作神無瑕疵的兒女。你們顯在這世代中,好像明光照耀,
將生命的道表明出來,叫我在基督的日子好誇我沒有空跑,也沒有徒勞。

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.

那帶種流淚出去的,必要歡歡樂樂地帶禾捆回來!
