[新标点] 不全是为我们说的吗？分明是为我们说的。因为耕种的当存着指望去耕种；打场的也当存得粮的指望去打场。
[和合修] 他不全是为我们说的吗？的确是为我们说的！因为耕种的要存着指望去耕种；收割的也要存着分享谷物的指望去收割。
[新译本] 这不全是为我们说的吗？当然是为我们说的，因为耕种的应当存着希望去耕种，收割的也应当存着希望去分享收获。
[当代修] 祂这样说难道不是为了我们吗？这话的确是为我们写的，因为耕耘的和打谷的农夫都应该存着分享收成的盼望劳作。
[现代修] 他说这话不就是为着我们说的吗？当然这是为我们写的！因为耕种的跟收割的出去工作，都盼望分到他们所应得的榖物。
[吕振中] 还是特（或译：全）为我们说的呢？的确是为我们而写的；因为犁田的该存着指望犁；打谷的该存着分享的指望打。
[思高本] 岂不是完全为我们说的吗？的确是为我们记载的，因为犁地的当怀着希望去犁，打场的也当怀着有份的希望去打场。
[文理本] 非概为我侪言之乎、固为我侪而书也、因耕者当以所望而耕、打谷者宜有共得之望、
