神能照着运行在我们心里的大力,充充足足的成就一切超过我们所求所想的。
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
一主,一信,一洗,
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
如果你们听过他的道,领了他的教,学了他的真理,
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
所以你们该效法神,好像蒙慈爱的儿女一样。
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
也要凭爱心行事,正如基督爱我们,为我们舍了自己,当作馨香的供物,和祭物,献与神。
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
淫词,妄语,和戏笑的话,都不相宜,总要说感谢的话。
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
你们作父亲的,不要惹儿女的气,只要照着主的教训和警戒,养育他们。
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
因为你们蒙恩,不但得以信服基督,并要为他受苦。
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
使你们无可指摘,诚实无伪,在这弯曲悖谬的世代,作神无瑕无疵的儿女。你们显在这世代中,好像明光照耀,
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
所以我越发急速打发他去,叫你们再见他,就可以喜乐,我也可以少些忧愁。
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
