保罗拣选了西拉,也出去,蒙弟兄们把他交于主的恩中。
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦,使他得益处,建立德行
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
因为基督也不求自己的喜悦,如经上所记,辱骂你人的辱骂,都落在我身上。
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
但愿赐忍耐安慰的神,叫你们彼此同心,效法基督耶稣。
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
又说,你们外邦人,当与主的百姓一同欢乐。
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
但我稍微放胆写给你们,是要题醒你们的记性,特因神所给我的恩典,
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
除了基督藉我作的那些事,我什么都不敢题。只题他藉我言语作为,用神迹奇事的能力,并圣灵的能力,使外邦人顺服。
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
甚至我从耶路撒冷,直转到以利哩古,到处传了基督的福音。
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
我立了志向,不在基督的名被称过的地方传福音,免得建造在别人的根基上。
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
就如经上所记,未曾闻知他信息的,将要看见。未曾听过的,将要明白。
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
