【當代版】
親愛的朋友,讓我告訴你們。不要畏懼那些要殺害你們的。他們雖然能戕害你們的身體,卻絲毫不能損害你們的靈魂。

KJVAnd I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
NIVI tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
BBEAnd I say to you, my friends, Have no fear of those who may put the body to death, and are able to do no more than that.

KJVBut I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
NIVBut I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

15【和合本】於是對眾人說:你們要謹慎自守,免去一切的貪心,因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。
【和修訂】於是他對眾人說:你們要謹慎自守,躲避一切的貪心,因為人的生命不在於家道豐富。

【牧靈本】
於是他想:‘我該怎麼辦?我已沒地方貯藏我的收成,

NIVHe thought to himself, `What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
BBEAnd he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.
ASVand he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?

 

18【和合本】又說:我要這麼辦:要把我的倉房拆了,另蓋更大的,在那裡好收藏我一切的糧食和財物,
【和修訂】就說:我要這麼辦:要把我的倉庫拆了,另蓋更大的,在那裡好儲藏我一切的糧食和財物,

【新譯本】又說:我要這樣辦:我要拆掉這些倉房,建造更大的,好在那裡收藏我的一切糧食和貨物。

【思高本】他遂說:我要這樣做:我要拆毀我的倉房,另建更大的,好在那藏一切類及財物。
【牧靈本】
於是他計畫:‘我要這麼做,拆掉糧倉,再建個更大的,把所有的麥子和作物都放進去。
【現代本】他又自言自語:對了,我要把原有的倉庫拆了,改建一座更大的,來存放五穀和別的貨物,
