哥林多後書

第12章

1 我自誇固然與我無益[not expedient for me]。如今我要說到主的異象[visions]和啟示。

2 我認得一個在基督裏的人,他前十四年被提到第三層天上去;(或在身內,我道不出[cannot tell];或在身外,我也道不出來[cannot tell];只有神知道。)

3 我認得這人;(或在身內,或在身外,我都道不出來[cannot tell],只有神知道。)

4 他被提到樂園裏,聽見說不出來[unspeakable]的言語,是人不可說的。

5 為這人,我要誇口;但是為我自己,除了我的軟弱以外,我並不誇口。

6 我就是願意誇口也不算為愚妄人[a fool];因為我必說實話。只是如今[now]我禁止不說,恐怕有人把我看高了,過於他在我身上所看見所聽見的。

7 又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大,就過於自高,所以有一根刺加在我肉體上,就是撒但的差役要攻擊我,免得我過於自高。

8 為這事,我三次求過主,叫這刺離開我。

9 他對我說:「我的恩典夠你用的,因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以,我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。

10 所以[Therefore]我為基督的緣故,就以軟弱、凌辱、急難、逼迫、困苦為可喜樂的;因我甚麼時候軟弱,甚麼時候就剛強了。

11 我成了自誇的[in glorying]愚妄人,是被你們強逼的。我本該被你們稱許才是。我雖算不了甚麼,卻沒有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。

12 我在你們中間,用百般的忍耐,藉著神蹟、奇事、異能,[Truly]顯出使徒的憑據來。

13 除了我不累著你們這一件事,你們還有甚麼事不及別的教會呢?這不公之處,求你們饒恕我吧。

14 如今,我打算第三次到你們那裏去,也必不累著你們;因我所求的是你們,不是你們的財物。兒女不該為父母積財,父母該為兒女積財。

15 雖然[though]我越發愛你們,就越發少得你們的愛[the less I be loved]我也甘心樂意為你們費財費力[I will very gladly spend and be spent for you]

16 罷了,我並沒有[I did not]累著你們,你們卻有人說,我是詭詐,用心計牢籠你們。

17 我所差到你們那裏去的人,我藉著他們一個人佔過你們的便宜嗎?

18[desired]了提多到你們那裏去;又差那位兄弟與他同去。提多佔過你們的便宜嗎?我們行事,不同是一個心靈[spirit]嗎?不同是一個腳蹤嗎?

19 你們到如今,還想我們是向你們分訴;我們本是在基督裏當神面前說話。親愛的弟兄啊,我們作[we do]一切的事都是為造就你們。

20 我怕我再來的時候,見你們不合我所想望的,你們見我也不合你們所想望的;又怕有爭論[debates]、嫉妒、惱怒、紛爭[strifes]背後中傷[backbitings]竊竊私語[whisperings]、狂傲、混亂的事。

21 且怕我[again]來的時候,我的神叫我在你們面前慚愧,又因許多人已經犯罪[sinned already],行污穢、姦淫、邪蕩的事不肯悔改,我就哀哭[bewail]

Chapter 12

1 It is not expedient4851 3756 for me3427 doubtless1211 to glory.2744 I will1063 come2064 to1519 visions3701 and2532 revelations602 of the Lord.2962

2 I knew1492 a man444 in1722 Christ5547 above4253 fourteen1180 years2094 ago, (whether1535 in1722 the body,4983 I cannot tell;1492 3756 or whether1535 out1622 of the3588 body,4983 I cannot tell:1492 3756 God2316 knoweth;)1492 such a one5108 caught up726 to2193 the third5154 heaven.3772

3 And2532 I knew1492 such5108 a man,444 (whether1535 in1722 the body,4983 or1535 out1622 of the3588 body,4983 I cannot tell:1492 3756 God2316 knoweth;)1492

4 How that3754 he was caught up726 into1519 paradise,3857 and2532 heard191 unspeakable731 words,4487 which3739 it is not lawful1832 3756 for a man444 to utter.2980

5 Of5228 such a one5108 will I glory:2744 yet1161 of5228 myself1683 I will not3756 glory,2744 but1508 in1722 mine3450 infirmities.769

6 For1063 though1437 I would desire2309 to glory,2744 I shall not3756 be2071 a fool;878 for1063 I will say2046 the truth:225 but1161 now I forbear,5339 lest3361 any man5100 should think3049 of1519 me1691 above5228 that3739 which he seeth991 me3165 to be, or2228 that he heareth191 5100 of1537 me.1700

7 And2532 lest3363 I should be exalted above measure5229 through the3588 abundance5236 of the3588 revelations,602 there was given1325 to me3427 a thorn4647 in the3588 flesh,4561 the messenger32 of Satan4566 to2443 buffet2852 me,3165 lest3363 I should be exalted above measure.5229

8 For5228 this thing5127 I besought3870 the3588 Lord2962 thrice,5151 that2443 it might depart868 from575 me.1700

9 And2532 he said2046 unto me,3427 My3450 grace5485 is sufficient714 for thee: 4671 for1063 my3450 strength1411 is made perfect5048 in1722 weakness.769 Most gladly2236 therefore3767 will I rather3123 glory2744 in1722 my3450 infirmities,769 that2443 the3588 power1411 of Christ5547 may rest1981 upon1909 me.1691

10 Therefore1352 I take pleasure2106 in1722 infirmities,769 in1722 reproaches,5196 in1722 necessities,318 in1722 persecutions,1375 in1722 distresses4730 for Christ's sake:5228 5547 for1063 when3752 I am weak,770 then5119 am1510 I strong.1415

11 I am become1096 a fool878 in glorying;2744 ye5210 have compelled315 me:3165 for1063 I1473 ought3784 to have been commended4921 of5259 you:5216 for1063 in nothing3762 am I behind5302 the3588 very chiefest5228 3029 apostles,652 though1499 I be1510 nothing.3762

12 Truly3303 the3588 signs4592 of an apostle652 were wrought2716 among1722 you5213 in1722 all3956 patience,5281 in1722 signs,4592 and2532 wonders,5059 and2532 mighty deeds.1411

13 For1063 what5101 is2076 it wherein3739 ye were inferior2274 to5228 other3062 churches,1577 except1508 it be that3754 I1473 myself846 was not burdensome2655 3756 to you?5216 forgive5483 me3427 this5026 wrong.93

14 Behold,2400 the third time5154 I am2192 ready2093 to come2064 to4314 you;5209 and2532 I will not3756 be burdensome2655 to you:5216 for1063 I seek2212 not3756 yours,5216 but235 you:5209 for1063 the3588 children5043 ought3784 not3756 to lay up2343 for the3588 parents,1118 but235 the3588 parents1118 for the3588 children.5043

15 And1161 I1473 will very gladly2236 spend1159 and2532 be spent1550 for5228 you;5216 though1499 the more abundantly4056 I love25 you,5209 the less2276 I be loved.25

16 But1161 be2077 it so, I1473 did not3756 burden2599 you:5209 nevertheless,235 being5225 crafty,3835 I caught2983 you5209 with guile.1388

17 Did I1223 846 make a gain4122 of you5209 by3361 any5100 of them whom3739 I sent649 unto4314 you?5209

18 I desired3870 Titus,5103 and2532 with him I sent4882 a brother.80 Did3387 Titus5103 make a gain4122 of you?5209 walked4043 we not3756 in the3588 same846 spirit?4151 walked we not3756 in the3588 same846 steps?2487

19 Again,3825 think1380 ye that3754 we excuse ourselves626 unto you?5213 we speak2980 before2714 God2316 in1722 Christ:5547 but1161 we do all things,3956 dearly beloved,27 for5228 your5216 edifying.3619

20 For1063 I fear,5399 lest3381 when I come,2064 I shall not3756 find2147 you5209 such3634 as I would,2309 and that I2504 shall be found2147 unto you5213 such as3634 ye would2309 not:3756 lest3381 there be debates,2054 envyings,2205 wraths,2372 strifes,2052 backbitings,2636 whisperings,5587 swellings,5450 tumults: 181

21 And lest,3361 when I come2064 again,3825 my3450 God2316 will humble5013 me3165 among4314 you,5209 and2532 that I shall bewail3996 many4183 which have sinned already,4258 and2532 have not3361 repented3340 of1909 the3588 uncleanness167 and2532 fornication4202 and2532 lasciviousness766 which3739 they have committed.4238

Chapter 12

1 我自誇固然與我無益[not expedient for me]。如今我要說到主的異象[visions]和啟示。

1 It is not expedient4851 3756 for me3427 doubtless1211 to glory.2744 I will1063 come2064 to1519 visions3701 and2532 revelations602 of the Lord.2962

2 我認得一個在基督裏的人,他前十四年被提到第三層天上去;(或在身內,我道不出[cannot tell];或在身外,我也道不出來[cannot tell];只有神知道。)

2 I knew1492 a man444 in1722 Christ5547 above4253 fourteen1180 years2094 ago, (whether1535 in1722 the body,4983 I cannot tell;1492 3756 or whether1535 out1622 of the3588 body,4983 I cannot tell:1492 3756 God2316 knoweth;)1492 such a one5108 caught up726 to2193 the third5154 heaven.3772

3 我認得這人;(或在身內,或在身外,我都道不出來[cannot tell],只有神知道。)

3 And2532 I knew1492 such5108 a man,444 (whether1535 in1722 the body,4983 or1535 out1622 of the3588 body,4983 I cannot tell:1492 3756 God2316 knoweth;)1492

4 他被提到樂園裏,聽見說不出來[unspeakable]的言語,是人不可說的。

4 How that3754 he was caught up726 into1519 paradise,3857 and2532 heard191 unspeakable731 words,4487 which3739 it is not lawful1832 3756 for a man444 to utter.2980

5 為這人,我要誇口;但是為我自己,除了我的軟弱以外,我並不誇口。

5 Of5228 such a one5108 will I glory:2744 yet1161 of5228 myself1683 I will not3756 glory,2744 but1508 in1722 mine3450 infirmities.769

6 我就是願意誇口也不算為愚妄人[a fool];因為我必說實話。只是如今[now]我禁止不說,恐怕有人把我看高了,過於他在我身上所看見所聽見的。

6 For1063 though1437 I would desire2309 to glory,2744 I shall not3756 be2071 a fool;878 for1063 I will say2046 the truth:225 but1161 now I forbear,5339 lest3361 any man5100 should think3049 of1519 me1691 above5228 that3739 which he seeth991 me3165 to be, or2228 that he heareth191 5100 of1537 me.1700

7 又恐怕我因所得的啟示甚大,就過於自高,所以有一根刺加在我肉體上,就是撒但的差役要攻擊我,免得我過於自高。

7 And2532 lest3363 I should be exalted above measure5229 through the3588 abundance5236 of the3588 revelations,602 there was given1325 to me3427 a thorn4647 in the3588 flesh,4561 the messenger32 of Satan4566 to2443 buffet2852 me,3165 lest3363 I should be exalted above measure.5229

8 為這事,我三次求過主,叫這刺離開我。

8 For5228 this thing5127 I besought3870 the3588 Lord2962 thrice,5151 that2443 it might depart868 from575 me.1700

9 他對我說:「我的恩典夠你用的,因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以,我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。

9 And2532 he said2046 unto me,3427 My3450 grace5485 is sufficient714 for thee: 4671 for1063 my3450 strength1411 is made perfect5048 in1722 weakness.769 Most gladly2236 therefore3767 will I rather3123 glory2744 in1722 my3450 infirmities,769 that2443 the3588 power1411 of Christ5547 may rest1981 upon1909 me.1691

10 所以[Therefore]我為基督的緣故,就以軟弱、凌辱、急難、逼迫、困苦為可喜樂的;因我甚麼時候軟弱,甚麼時候就剛強了。

10 Therefore1352 I take pleasure2106 in1722 infirmities,769 in1722 reproaches,5196 in1722 necessities,318 in1722 persecutions,1375 in1722 distresses4730 for Christ's sake:5228 5547 for1063 when3752 I am weak,770 then5119 am1510 I strong.1415

11 我成了自誇的[in glorying]愚妄人,是被你們強逼的。我本該被你們稱許才是。我雖算不了甚麼,卻沒有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。

11 I am become1096 a fool878 in glorying;2744 ye5210 have compelled315 me:3165 for1063 I1473 ought3784 to have been commended4921 of5259 you:5216 for1063 in nothing3762 am I behind5302 the3588 very chiefest5228 3029 apostles,652 though1499 I be1510 nothing.3762

12 我在你們中間,用百般的忍耐,藉著神蹟、奇事、異能,[Truly]顯出使徒的憑據來。

12 Truly3303 the3588 signs4592 of an apostle652 were wrought2716 among1722 you5213 in1722 all3956 patience,5281 in1722 signs,4592 and2532 wonders,5059 and2532 mighty deeds.1411

13 除了我不累著你們這一件事,你們還有甚麼事不及別的教會呢?這不公之處,求你們饒恕我吧。

13 For1063 what5101 is2076 it wherein3739 ye were inferior2274 to5228 other3062 churches,1577 except1508 it be that3754 I1473 myself846 was not burdensome2655 3756 to you?5216 forgive5483 me3427 this5026 wrong.93

14 如今,我打算第三次到你們那裏去,也必不累著你們;因我所求的是你們,不是你們的財物。兒女不該為父母積財,父母該為兒女積財。

14 Behold,2400 the third time5154 I am2192 ready2093 to come2064 to4314 you;5209 and2532 I will not3756 be burdensome2655 to you:5216 for1063 I seek2212 not3756 yours,5216 but235 you:5209 for1063 the3588 children5043 ought3784 not3756 to lay up2343 for the3588 parents,1118 but235 the3588 parents1118 for the3588 children.5043

15 雖然[though]我越發愛你們,就越發少得你們的愛[the less I be loved]我也甘心樂意為你們費財費力[I will very gladly spend and be spent for you]

15 And1161 I1473 will very gladly2236 spend1159 and2532 be spent1550 for5228 you;5216 though1499 the more abundantly4056 I love25 you,5209 the less2276 I be loved.25

16 罷了,我並沒有[I did not]累著你們,你們卻有人說,我是詭詐,用心計牢籠你們。

16 But1161 be2077 it so, I1473 did not3756 burden2599 you:5209 nevertheless,235 being5225 crafty,3835 I caught2983 you5209 with guile.1388

17 我所差到你們那裏去的人,我藉著他們一個人佔過你們的便宜嗎?

17 Did I1223 846 make a gain4122 of you5209 by3361 any5100 of them whom3739 I sent649 unto4314 you?5209

18[desired]了提多到你們那裏去;又差那位兄弟與他同去。提多佔過你們的便宜嗎?我們行事,不同是一個心靈[spirit]嗎?不同是一個腳蹤嗎?

18 I desired3870 Titus,5103 and2532 with him I sent4882 a brother.80 Did3387 Titus5103 make a gain4122 of you?5209 walked4043 we not3756 in the3588 same846 spirit?4151 walked we not3756 in the3588 same846 steps?2487

19 你們到如今,還想我們是向你們分訴;我們本是在基督裏當神面前說話。親愛的弟兄啊,我們作[we do]一切的事都是為造就你們。

19 Again,3825 think1380 ye that3754 we excuse ourselves626 unto you?5213 we speak2980 before2714 God2316 in1722 Christ:5547 but1161 we do all things,3956 dearly beloved,27 for5228 your5216 edifying.3619

20 我怕我再來的時候,見你們不合我所想望的,你們見我也不合你們所想望的;又怕有爭論[debates]、嫉妒、惱怒、紛爭[strifes]背後中傷[backbitings]竊竊私語[whisperings]、狂傲、混亂的事。

20 For1063 I fear,5399 lest3381 when I come,2064 I shall not3756 find2147 you5209 such3634 as I would,2309 and that I2504 shall be found2147 unto you5213 such as3634 ye would2309 not:3756 lest3381 there be debates,2054 envyings,2205 wraths,2372 strifes,2052 backbitings,2636 whisperings,5587 swellings,5450 tumults: 181

21 且怕我[again]來的時候,我的神叫我在你們面前慚愧,又因許多人已經犯罪[sinned already],行污穢、姦淫、邪蕩的事不肯悔改,我就哀哭[bewail]

21 And lest,3361 when I come2064 again,3825 my3450 God2316 will humble5013 me3165 among4314 you,5209 and2532 that I shall bewail3996 many4183 which have sinned already,4258 and2532 have not3361 repented3340 of1909 the3588 uncleanness167 and2532 fornication4202 and2532 lasciviousness766 which3739 they have committed.4238
