作使徒的保罗，（不是由于人，也不是藉着人，乃是藉着耶稣基督，与叫他从死里复活的父神）
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
弟兄们，我告诉你们，我素来所传的福音，不是出于人的意思。
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
因为我不是从人领受的，也不是人教导我的，乃是从耶稣基督启示来的。
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
我又在犹太教中，比我本国许多同岁的人更有长进，为我祖宗的遗传更加热心。
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
愿恩惠平安，从神我们的父，和主耶稣基督，归与你们。
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
都是照他自己所豫定的美意，叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘，
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
要照所安排的，在日期满足的时候，使天上地上一切所有的，都在基督里同归于一。
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
这圣灵，是我们得基业的凭据，（原文作质）直等到神之民（民原文作产业）被赎，使他的荣耀得着称赞。
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
就为你们不住的感谢神，祷告的时候，常题到你们。
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
求我们主耶稣基督的神，荣耀的父，将那赐人智慧和启示的灵，赏给你们，使你们真知道他。
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
