Denn euch ist gegeben, um Christi willen zu tun, daß ihr nicht allein an ihn glaubet sondern auch um seinetwillen leidet;
Porque a vosotros es concedido por Cristo, no sólo que creáis en Él, sino también que padezcáis por Él,
Porque a ustedes se les ha concedido, por causa de Cristo, no solo creer en él, sino también sufrir por él,
car il vous a été fait la grâce, par rapport à Christ, non seulement de croire en lui, mais encore de souffrir pour lui,
Poichè a voi è stato di grazia dato per Cristo, non sol di credere in lui, ma ancora di patir per lui;
Porque a vós vos foi concedido, em relação a Cristo, não somente crer nele, como também padecer por ele,
因為你們蒙恩,不但得以信服基督,而且要為他受苦。
