로마서 5장 3-5절

그뿐만 아니라, 우리는 환난을 자랑합니다. 우리가 알기로, 환난은 인내력을 낳고, 인내력은 단련된 인격을 낳고, 단련된 인격은 희망을 낳는 줄을 알고 있기 때문입니다. 이 희망은 우리를 실망시키지 않습니다. 하나님께서 우리에게 주신 성령을 통하여 그의 사랑을 우리 마음 속에 부어 주셨기 때문입니다. _새번역성경

それだけではなく， 患難をも 喜んでいる． なぜなら， 患難は 忍耐を 生み 出し，　忍耐は 鍊達を 生み 出し， 鍊達は 希望を 生み 出すことを， 知っているからである．　そして， 希望は 失望に 終ることはない． なぜなら， わたしたちに 賜わっている 聖霊によって， 神の 愛がわたしたちの 心に 注がれているからである．_口語訳

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us._NASB 

There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!_The Message
