But, to leave off the examples of ancient times, let us come to the athletes who lived nearest to us; let us take the noble examples of our own generation.
Peter, who because of unrighteous jealousy endured not one or two but many labors, and having thus borne his witness went to the place of glory that was his due.
5:5
διὰζῆλονκαὶἔρινΠαῦλοςὑπομονῆςβραβεῖονὑπέδειξεν
因著嫉妒與爭競，保羅指明了忍耐的獎賞。
Because of jealousy and strife Paul pointed out the prize of patient endurance.
Seven times he bore chains; he was driven into exile, was stoned, became a herald in both the East and the West, and won the noble renown of his faith.
Having taught righteousness to the whole world and having come to the limit of the West, and having borne his witness before the rulers, he thus departed from the world and was taken up into the holy place, having become the greatest example of patient endurance.
