4·What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?
我的弟兄们，若有人说，自己有信心，却没有行为，有什么益处呢。
5·For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.
弟兄们，我们不能不告诉你们，我们曾在亚西亚所受的苦难：负担太重、无能为力，甚至连活下去的想法都没有。
