I have done the Lord’s work humbly and with many tears. I have endured the trials that came to me from the plots of the Jews.

服侍主，凡事谦卑，眼中流泪，又因犹太人的谋害，经历试炼。

怎样凡事谦卑，以眼泪服侍主，又因犹太人的谋害经历试炼。

怎样凡事谦卑，以眼泪服侍主，又因犹太人的谋害经历试炼。

我含着眼泪谦卑地事奉主，又遭到犹太人的迫害，历尽艰辛。

怎樣服事主，凡事謙卑，常常流淚，忍受猶太人謀害的試煉。

怎樣以十二分的謙卑做主的僕人，常常流淚、忍受試煉；這些試煉是因猶太人的計謀而臨到我的。

我在完全的謙卑中、淚水中、以及因猶太人的陰謀而帶來的許多試煉中服事主；

我之事主、凡事謙遜涕泣、因猶太人謀害而歷諸艱、

余事主、謙讓多淚、被猶太人謀害而遇難、

我事主謙遜多淚、因猶太人謀害而歷艱難、

恆自小心翼翼、含淚事主；又以猶太人之陰謀圖害、試煉備嘗；

I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents.

I served the Lord with tears and without pride. I served him when I was greatly tested. I was tested by the evil plans of the Jews who disagreed with me.

serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

serving the Lord with all humility, with tears, and during the trials that came to me through the plots of the Jews.

serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and trials which came upon me through the plots of the Jews;

serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews;

serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;

serving the Lord with all humility, with tears, and with the trials that came to me through the plots of the Jews—

Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

serving the Lord with all humility and with tears, and with the trials that happened to me because of the plots of the Jews.

serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

where he stayed for three months. He was preparing to sail back to Syria when he discovered a plot by some Jews against his life, so he decided to return through Macedonia.

For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ.

Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

I wrote that letter in great anguish, with a troubled heart and many tears. I didn’t want to grieve you, but I wanted to let you know how much love I have for you.

Watch out! Remember the three years I was with you— my constant watch and care over you night and day, and my many tears for you.

And if you still refuse to listen, I will weep alone because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the Lord’s flock will be led away into exile.

Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me,

But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.

Instead, I sometimes think God has put us apostles on display, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor’s parade, condemned to die. We have become a spectacle to the entire world— to people and angels alike.Our dedication to Christ makes us look like fools, but you claim to be so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are so powerful! You are honored, but we are ridiculed.Even now we go hungry and thirsty, and we don’t have enough clothes to keep warm. We are often beaten and have no home.We work wearily with our own hands to earn our living. We bless those who curse us. We are patient with those who abuse us.We appeal gently when evil things are said about us. Yet we are treated like the world’s garbage, like everybody’s trash— right up to the present moment.

If only my head were a pool of water and my eyes a fountain of tears, I would weep day and night for all my people who have been slaughtered.

This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to you who share the same precious faith we have. This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior.

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

After a while some of the Jews plotted together to kill him.They were watching for him day and night at the city gate so they could murder him, but Saul was told about their plot.So during the night, some of the other believers lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the city wall.

“ That is why they stand in front of God’s throne and serve him day and night in his Temple. And he who sits on the throne will give them shelter.

When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside.

Then a mob of Gentiles and Jews, along with their leaders, decided to attack and stone them.When the apostles learned of it, they fled to the region of Lycaonia— to the towns of Lystra and Derbe and the surrounding area.

Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your instructions. Tsadhe

For I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church.But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me— and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.

even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.Each time he said,“ My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies.

So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while.

Surely you remember that I was sick when I first brought you the Good News.But even though my condition tempted you to reject me, you did not despise me or turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself.

Then the Jews stirred up the influential religious women and the leaders of the city, and they incited a mob against Paul and Barnabas and ran them out of town.So they shook the dust from their feet as a sign of rejection and went to the town of Iconium.

Are they servants of Christ? I know I sound like a madman, but I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again.Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty nine lashes.Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea.I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not.I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm.Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches.Who is weak without my feeling that weakness? Who is led astray, and I do not burn with anger?If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am.

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.

Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead.But as the believers gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again.

God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God, whom I serve with all my heart by spreading the Good News about his Son.

This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, chosen by God to be an apostle and sent out to preach his Good News.

But when some Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God in Berea, they went there and stirred up trouble.

But some of the Jews were jealous, so they gathered some troublemakers from the marketplace to form a mob and start a riot. They attacked the home of Jason, searching for Paul and Silas so they could drag them out to the crowd.

for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God.
