And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: |
And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; |
and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; |
We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; |
And we still toil unto weariness [for our living], working hard with our own hands. When men revile us – that is, wound us with an accursed sting – we bless them. When we are persecuted, we take it patiently and endure it. |
and we labor to the point of exhaustion, working at our trade [that of tent making] with our own hands. When insulting abuse is being heaped upon us, we invoke blessings upon those who are mistreating us. When we are being persecuted, we patiently bear it. |
We still have to work for our living by manual labour. Men curse us, but we return a blessing: they make our lives miserable but we take it patiently. |
we have worked hard with our own hands for a living. When abused by people we bless them, when persecuted we patiently bear it, |
