Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:236

αἰτήσασθε περὶ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα ἐπιτύχω. οὐ κατὰ σάρκα ὑμῖν ἔγραψα, ἀλλὰ κατὰ γνώμην θεοῦ. ἐὰν πάθω, ἠθελήσατε· ἐὰν ἀποδοκιμασθῶ, ἐμισήσατε.

English · Claude translation

Pray for me, that I may attain. I have not written to you according to the flesh but according to the mind of God. If I suffer, you willed it; if I am rejected, you hated me.
