而你們若不是徒然相信，能以持守我所傳給你們的，就必因這福音得救。 我當日所領受又傳給你們的，第一，就是基督照聖經所說，為我們的罪死了，而且埋葬了。又照聖經所說，第三天復活了。（林前15: 2-4）

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (2Cor 15:2-4)

12 弟兄们，我愿意你们知道，我所遭遇的事，更是叫福音兴旺。13 以致我受的捆锁，在御营全军和其馀的人中，已经显明是为基督的缘故。14 并且那在主里的弟兄，多半因我受的捆锁，就笃信不疑，越发放胆传神的道，无所惧怕。（腓立比书1:12-14）
Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. (Phil 1:12-14)

15 有的传基督，是出於嫉妒分争；也有的是出於好意。16 这一等，是出於爱心，知道我是为辩明福音设立的。17 那一等传基督，是出於结党，并不诚实，意思要加增我捆锁的苦楚。18 这有何妨呢？或是假意，或是真心，无论怎样，基督究竟被传开了。为此我就欢喜，并且还要欢喜。（腓立比书1:15-18）
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice. (Phil 1:15-18)

19 因为我知道这事藉你们的祈祷、和耶稣基督之灵的帮助、终必叫我得救． 20 照着我所切慕所盼望的、没有一事叫我羞愧、只要凡事放胆．无论是生、是死、总叫基督在我身上照常显大。腓立比书1:19-20
For I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. (Phil 1:19-20)
