哥林多後書 7

親愛的弟兄啊，我們既有這等應許，就當潔淨自己，除去身體、靈魂一切的污穢，敬畏上帝，得以成聖。

qīn ài de dì xiong a ， wǒ men jì yǒu zhè děng yīng xǔ ， jiù dāng jié jìng zì jǐ ， chú qù shēn tǐ 、 líng hún yí qiè de wū huì ， jìng wèi shén ， dé yǐ chéng shèng 。

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

你們要心地寬大收納我們。我們未曾虧負誰，未曾敗壞誰，未曾佔誰的便宜。

nǐ men yào xīn dì kuān dà shōu nà wǒ men 。 wǒ men wèi céng kuī fù shuí ， wèi céng bài huài shuí ， wèi céng zhàn shuí de pián yi 。

Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.

我說這話，不是要定你們的罪。我已經說過，你們常在我們心裏，情願與你們同生同死。

wǒ shuō zhè huà ， bú shì yào dìng nǐ men de zuì 。 wǒ yǐ jīng shuō guò ， nǐ men cháng zài wǒ men xīn lǐ ， qíng yuàn yǔ nǐ men tóng shēng tóng sǐ 。

I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.

我大大地放膽，向你們說話；我因你們多多誇口，滿得安慰；我們在一切患難中分外地快樂。

wǒ dà dà dì fàng dǎn ， xiàng nǐ men shuō huà ； wǒ yīn nǐ men duō duō kuā kǒu ， mǎn dé ān wèi ； wǒ men zài yí qiè huàn nàn zhōng fèn wài de kuài lè 。

Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.

我們從前就是到了馬其頓的時候，身體也不得安寧，周圍遭患難，外有爭戰，內有懼怕。

wǒ men cóng qián jiù shì dào le mǎ qí dùn de shí hòu ， shēn tǐ yě bù dé ān níng ， zhōu wéi zāo huàn nàn ， wài yǒu zhēng zhàn ， nèi yǒu jù pà 。

For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.

但那安慰喪氣之人的上帝藉着提多來安慰了我們；

dàn nà ān wèi sàng qì zhī rén de shén jiè zhe tí duō lái ān wèi le wǒ men ；

Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

不但藉着他來，也藉着他從你們所得的安慰，安慰了我們；因他把你們的想念、哀慟，和向我的熱心，都告訴了我，叫我更加歡喜。

bú dàn jiè zhe tā lái ， yě jiè zhe tā cóng nǐ men suǒ dé de ān wèi ， ān wèi le wǒ men ； yīn tā bǎ nǐ men de xiǎng niàn 、 āi tòng ， hé xiàng wǒ de rè xīn ， dōu gào sù le wǒ ， jiào wǒ gèng jiā huān xǐ 。

and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

我先前寫信叫你們憂愁，我後來雖然懊悔，如今卻不懊悔；因我知道，那信叫你們憂愁不過是暫時的。

wǒ xiān qián xiě xìn jiào nǐ men yōu chóu ， wǒ hòu lái suī rán ào huǐ ， rú jīn què bú ào huǐ ； yīn wǒ zhī dào ， nà xìn jiào nǐ men yōu chóu bú guò shì zàn shí de 。

For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.

如今我歡喜，不是因你們憂愁，是因你們從憂愁中生出懊悔來。你們依着上帝的意思憂愁，凡事就不至於因我們受虧損了。

rú jīn wǒ huān xǐ ， bú shì yīn nǐ men yōu chóu ， shì yīn nǐ men cóng yōu chóu zhōng shēng chū ào huǐ lái 。 nǐ men yī zhe shén de yì sī yōu chóu ， fán shì jiù bú zhì yú yīn wǒ men shòu kuī sǔn le 。

I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

因為依着上帝的意思憂愁，就生出沒有後悔的懊悔來，以致得救；但世俗的憂愁是叫人死。

yīn wèi yī zhe shén de yì sī yōu chóu ， jiù shēng chū méi yǒu hòu huǐ de ào huǐ lái ， yǐ zhì dé jiù ； dàn shì sú de yōu chóu shì jiào rén sǐ 。

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

你看，你們依着上帝的意思憂愁，從此就生出何等的殷勤、自訴、自恨、恐懼、想念、熱心、責罰 。在這一切事上，你們都表明自己是潔淨的。

nǐ kàn ， nǐ men yī zhe shén de yì sī yōu chóu ， cóng cǐ jiù shēng chū hé děng de yīn qín 、 zì sù 、 zì hèn 、 kǒng jù 、 xiǎng niàn 、 rè xīn 、 zé fá 。 zài zhè yí qiè shì shàng ， nǐ men dōu biǎo míng zì jǐ shì jié jìng de 。

For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

我雖然從前寫信給你們，卻不是為那虧負人的，也不是為那受人虧負的，乃要在上帝面前把你們顧念我們的熱心表明出來。

wǒ suī rán cóng qián xiě xìn gěi nǐ men ， què bú shì wèi nà kuī fù rén de ， yě bú shì wèi nà shòu rén kuī fù de ， nǎi yào zài shén miàn qián bǎ nǐ men gù niàn wǒ men de rè xīn biǎo míng chū lái 。

So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

故此，我們得了安慰。 並且在安慰之中，因你們眾人使提多心裏暢快歡喜，我們就更加歡喜了。

gù cǐ ， wǒ men dé le ān wèi 。 bìng qiě zài ān wèi zhī zhōng ， yīn nǐ men zhòng rén shǐ tí duō xīn lǐ chàng kuài huān xǐ ， wǒ men jiù gèng jiā huān xǐ le 。

Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

我若對提多誇獎了你們甚麼，也覺得沒有慚愧；因我對提多誇獎你們的話成了真的，正如我對你們所說的話也都是真的。

wǒ ruò duì tí duō kuā jiǎng le nǐ men shén me ， yě jué de méi yǒu cán kuì ； yīn wǒ duì tí duō kuā jiǎng nǐ men de huà chéng le zhēn de ， zhèng rú wǒ duì nǐ men suǒ shuō de huà yě dōu shì zhēn de 。

For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

並且提多想起你們眾人的順服，是怎樣恐懼戰兢地接待他，他愛你們的心腸就越發熱了。

bìng qiě tí duō xiǎng qǐ nǐ men zhòng rén de shùn fú ， shì zěn yàng kǒng jù zhàn jīng dì jiē dài tā ， tā ài nǐ men de xīn cháng jiù yuè fā rè le 。

His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.

我如今歡喜，能在凡事上為你們放心。

wǒ rú jīn huān xǐ ， néng zài fán shì shàng wèi nǐ men fàng xīn 。

I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.
