哥林多前書 4

人應當以我們為基督的執事，為上帝奧祕事的管家。

rén yīng dāng yǐ wǒ men wèi jī dū de zhí shì ， wèi shén ào mì shì de guǎn jiā 。

So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

所求於管家的，是要他有忠心。

suǒ qiú yú guǎn jiā de ， shì yào tā yǒu zhōng xīn 。

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

我被你們論斷，或被別人論斷，我都以為極小的事；連我自己也不論斷自己。

wǒ bèi nǐ men lùn duàn ， huò bèi bié rén lùn duàn ， wǒ dōu yǐ wéi jí xiǎo de shì ； lián wǒ zì jǐ yě bú lùn duàn zì jǐ 。

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.

我雖不覺得自己有錯，卻也不能因此得以稱義；但判斷我的乃是主。

wǒ suī bù jué de zì jǐ yǒu cuò ， què yě bù néng yīn cǐ dé yǐ chēng yì ； dàn pàn duàn wǒ de nǎi shì zhǔ 。

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

所以，時候未到，甚麼都不要論斷，只等主來，他要照出暗中的隱情，顯明人心的意念。那時，各人要從上帝那裏得着稱讚。

suǒ yǐ ， shí hòu wèi dào ， shén me dōu bú yào lùn duàn ， zhī děng zhǔ lái ， tā yào zhào chū àn zhōng de yǐn qíng ， xiǎn míng rén xīn de yì niàn 。 nà shí ， gè rén yào cóng shén nà lǐ dé zhe chēng zàn 。

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

弟兄們，我為你們的緣故，拿這些事轉比自己和亞波羅，叫你們效法我們不可過於聖經所記，免得你們自高自大，貴重這個，輕看那個。

dì xiong men ， wǒ wèi nǐ men de yuán gù ， ná zhè xiē shì zhuǎn bǐ zì jǐ hé yà bō luó ， jiào nǐ men xiào fǎ wǒ men bù kě guò yú shèng jīng suǒ jì ， miǎn de nǐ men zì gāo zì dà ， guì zhòng zhè ge ， qīng kàn nà ge 。

Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

使你與人不同的是誰呢？你有甚麼不是領受的呢？若是領受的，為何自誇，彷彿不是領受的呢？

shǐ nǐ yǔ rén bù tóng de shì shuí ne ？ nǐ yǒu shén me bú shì lǐng shòu de ne ？ ruò shì lǐng shòu de ， wèi hé zì kuā ， fǎng fú bú shì lǐng shòu de ne ？

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

你們已經飽足了！已經豐富了！不用我們，自己就作王了！我願意你們果真作王，叫我們也得與你們一同作王。

nǐ men yǐ jīng bǎo zú le ！ yǐ jīng fēng fù le ！ bú yòng wǒ men ， zì jǐ jiù zuò wáng le ！ wǒ yuàn yì nǐ men guǒ zhēn zuò wáng ， jiào wǒ men yě dé yǔ nǐ men yì tóng zuò wáng 。

You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

我想上帝把我們使徒明明列在末後，好像定死罪的囚犯；因為我們成了一臺戲，給世人和天使觀看。

wǒ xiǎng shén bǎ wǒ men shǐ tú míng míng liè zài mò hòu ， hǎo xiàng dìng sǐ zuì de qiú fàn ； yīn wèi wǒ men chéng le yì tái xì ， gěi shì rén hé tiān shǐ guān kàn 。

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

我們為基督的緣故算是愚拙的，你們在基督裏倒是聰明的；我們軟弱，你們倒強壯；你們有榮耀，我們倒被藐視。

wǒ men wèi jī dū de yuán gù suàn shì yú zhuō de ， nǐ men zài jī dū lǐ dǎo shì cōng ming de ； wǒ men ruǎn ruò ， nǐ men dǎo qiáng zhuàng ； nǐ men yǒu róng yào ， wǒ men dǎo bèi miǎo shì 。

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

直到如今，我們還是又飢又渴，又赤身露體，又挨打，又沒有一定的住處，

zhí dào rú jīn ， wǒ men hái shì yòu jī yòu kě ， yòu chì shēn lù tǐ ， yòu āi dǎ ， yòu méi yǒu yí dìng de zhù chù ，

Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

並且勞苦，親手做工。被人咒罵，我們就祝福；被人逼迫，我們就忍受；

bìng qiě láo kǔ ， qīn shǒu zuò gōng 。 bèi rén zhòu mà ， wǒ men jiù zhù fú ； bèi rén bī pò ， wǒ men jiù rěn shòu ；

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

被人毀謗，我們就善勸。直到如今，人還把我們看作世界上的污穢，萬物中的渣滓。

bèi rén huǐ bàng ， wǒ men jiù shàn quàn 。 zhí dào rú jīn ， rén hái bǎ wǒ men kàn zuò shì jiè shàng de wū huì ， wàn wù zhōng de zhā zǐ 。

Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

我寫這話，不是叫你們羞愧，乃是警戒你們，好像我所親愛的兒女一樣。

wǒ xiě zhè huà ， bú shì jiào nǐ men xiū kuì ， nǎi shì jǐng jiè nǐ men ， hǎo xiàng wǒ suǒ qīn ài de ér nǚ yí yàng 。

I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

你們學基督的，師傅雖有一萬，為父的卻是不多，因我在基督耶穌裏用福音生了你們。

nǐ men xué jī dū de ， shī fu suī yǒu yí wàn ， wèi fù de què shì bù duō ， yīn wǒ zài jī dū yē sū lǐ yòng fú yīn shēng le nǐ men 。

For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

所以，我求你們效法我。

suǒ yǐ ， wǒ qiú nǐ men xiào fǎ wǒ 。

I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

因此我已打發提摩太到你們那裏去。他在主裏面，是我所親愛、有忠心的兒子。他必提醒你們，記念我在基督裏怎樣行事，在各處各教會中怎樣教導人。

yīn cǐ wǒ yǐ dǎ fā tí mó tài dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù 。 tā zài zhǔ lǐ miàn ， shì wǒ suǒ qīn ài 、 yǒu zhōng xīn de ér zi 。 tā bì tí xǐng nǐ men ， jì niàn wǒ zài jī dū lǐ zěn yàng xíng shì ， zài gè chù gè jiào huì zhōng zěn yàng jiào dǎo rén 。

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

有些人自高自大，以為我不到你們那裏去；

yǒu xiē rén zì gāo zì dà ， yǐ wéi wǒ bú dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ；

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

然而，主若許我，我必快到你們那裏去，並且我所要知道的，不是那些自高自大之人的言語，乃是他們的權能。

rán ér ， zhǔ ruò xǔ wǒ ， wǒ bì kuài dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ， bìng qiě wǒ suǒ yào zhī dào de ， bú shì nà xiē zì gāo zì dà zhī rén de yán yǔ ， nǎi shì tā men de quán néng 。

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

因為上帝的國不在乎言語，乃在乎權能。

yīn wèi shén de guó bú zài hu yán yǔ ， nǎi zài hū quán néng 。

For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.

你們願意怎麼樣呢？是願意我帶着刑杖到你們那裏去呢？還是要我存慈愛溫柔的心呢？

nǐ men yuàn yì zěn me yàng ne ？ shì yuàn yì wǒ dài zhe xíng zhàng dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ne ？ hái shì yào wǒ cún cí ài wēn róu de xīn ne ？

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
