wie ich sehnlich warte und hoffe, daß ich in keinerlei Stück zu Schanden werde, sondern daß mit aller Freudigkeit, gleichwie sonst allezeit also auch jetzt, Christus hoch gepriesen werde an meinem Leibe, es sei durch Leben oder durch Tod.
Conforme a mi mira y esperanza, que en nada seré confundido; antes bien con toda confianza, como siempre, ahora también será engrandecido Cristo en mi cuerpo, o por vida, o por muerte.
Esto concuerda con mi anhelo y esperanza de que en nada seré avergonzado, sino que, con toda valentía, ahora como siempre, Cristo será engrandecido en mi cuerpo, ya sea por la vida o por la muerte.
selon ma ferme attente et mon espérance que je n'aurai honte de rien, mais que, maintenant comme toujours, Christ sera glorifié dans mon corps avec une pleine assurance, soit par ma vie, soit par ma mort;
secondo l’intento e la speranza mia, che io non sarò svergognato in cosa alcuna; ma che, con ogni franchezza, come sempre, così ancora al presente, Cristo sarà magnificato nel mio corpo, o per vita, o per morte
Segundo a minha intensa expectação e esperança, de que em nada serei confundido; antes, com toda a confiança, Cristo será, tanto agora como sempre, engrandecido no meu corpo, seja pela vida, seja pela morte.
這就是我所切慕、所盼望的:沒有一事能使我羞愧;反倒凡事坦然無懼,無論是生是死,總要讓基督在我身上照常顯大。
