《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

我再说，人不可把我看作愚妄的。纵然如此，也要把我当作愚妄人接纳，叫我可以略略自夸。I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

左咡

我说的话，不是奉主命说的，乃是像愚妄人放胆自夸。That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

左咡

既有好些人凭着血气自夸，我也要自夸了。Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

左咡

你们既是精明的人，就能甘心忍耐愚妄人。For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

左咡

假若有人强你们作奴仆，或侵吞你们，或掳掠你们，或悔慢你们，或打你们的脸，你们都能忍耐他。For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

左咡

我说这话，是羞辱自己。好像我们从前是软弱的。然而人在何事上勇敢，（我说句愚妄话）我也勇敢。I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

左咡

他们是希伯来人吗。我也是。他们是以色列人吗。我也是。他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔吗。我也是。Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

左咡

他们是基督的仆人吗。（我说句狂话）我更是。Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

左咡

我比他们多受劳苦，多下监牢，受鞭打是过重的，冒死是屡次有的。被犹太人鞭打五次，每次四十，减去一下。Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

左咡

被棍打了三次，被石头打了一次，遇着船坏三次，一昼一夜在深海里。Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
