《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

我为你们众人有这样的意念，原是应当的。因你们常在我心里，无论我是在捆锁之中，是辩明证实福音的时候，你们都与我一同得恩。
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

左咡

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

左咡

有的传基督，是出于嫉妒分争。也有的是出于好意。
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

左咡

这一等是出于爱心，知道我是为辩明福音设立的。
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
