And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
7:8 我先前写信叫你们忧愁。我后来虽然懊悔，如今却不懊悔。因我知道那信叫你们忧愁，不过是暂时的。
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
7:9 如今我欢喜，不是因你们忧愁，是因你们从忧愁中生出懊悔来。你们依着神的意思忧愁，凡事就不至于因我们受亏损了。
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
7:10 因为依着神的意思忧愁，就生出没有后悔的懊悔来，以致得救。但世俗的忧愁，是叫人死。
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
7:11 你看，你们依着神的意思忧愁，从此就生出何等的殷勤，自诉，自恨，恐惧，想念，热心，责罚（或作自责），在这一切事上你们都表明自己是洁净的。
For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
7:12 我虽然从前写信给你们却不是为那亏负人的，也不是为那受人亏负的，乃要在神面前，把你们顾念我们的热心，表明出来。
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
7:13 故此我们得了安慰，并且在安慰之中，因你们众人使提多心里畅快欢喜，我们就更加欢喜了。
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
7:14 我若对提多夸奖了你们什么，也觉得没有惭愧。因我对提多夸奖你们的话，成了真的。正如我对你们所说的话，也都是真的。
For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
7:15 并且提多想起你们众人的顺服，是怎样恐惧战竞的接待他，他爱你们的心肠就越发热了。
And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
7:16 我如今欢喜，能在凡事上为你们放心。
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
新约 -- 哥林多后书(2 Corinthians) -- 第 8 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
8:1 弟兄们，我把神赐给马其顿众教会的恩告诉你们。
Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
8:2 就是他们在患难中受大试炼的时候，仍有满足的快乐，在极穷之间，还格外显出他们乐捐的厚恩。
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
8:3 我可以证明他们是按着力量，而且也过了力量，自己甘心乐意的捐助。
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
8:4 再三的求我们，准他们在这供给圣徒的恩情上有分。
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
8:5 并且他们所作的，不但照我们所想望的，更照神的旨意，先把自己献给主，又归附了我们。
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
8:6 因此我劝提多，既然在你们中间开办这慈惠的事，就当办成了。
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
8:7 你们既然在信心，口才，知识，热心，和待我们的爱心上，都格外显出满足来，就当在这慈惠的事上，也格外显出满足来。
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8:8 我说这话，不是吩咐你们，乃是藉着别人的热心，试验你们爱心的实在。
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
8:9 你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典。他本来富足，却为你们成了贫穷，叫你们因他的贫穷，可以成为富足。
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
8:10 我在这事上把我的意见告诉你们，是与你们有益。因为你们下手办这事，而且起此心意，已经有一年了。
And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
8:11 如今就当办成这事。既有愿作的心，也当照你们所有的去办成。
Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
8:12 因为人若有愿作的心，比蒙悦纳，乃是照他所有的，并不是照他所无的。
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
8:13 我原不是要别人轻省，你们受累，
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
8:14 乃要均平。就是要你们的富馀，现在可以补他们的不足，使他们的富馀，将来也可以补你们的不足，这就均平了。
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
8:15 如经上所记，多收的也没有馀，少收的也没有缺。
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
8:16 多谢神，感动提多的心，叫他待你们殷勤，像我一样。
But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
8:17 他固然是听了我的劝。但自己更是热心，情愿往你们那里去。
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
8:18 我们还打发一位兄弟和他同去。这人在福音上得了众教会的称赞。
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
8:19 不但这样，他也被众教会挑选，和我们同行，把所托与我们的捐赀送到了，可以荣耀主，又表明我们乐意的心。
And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
8:20 这就免得有人因我们收的捐银很多，就挑我们的不是。
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
8:21 我们留心行光明的事，不但在主面前，就在人面前，也是这样。
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
8:22 我们又打发一位兄弟同去。这人的热心，我们在许多事上，屡次试验过，现在他因为深信你们，就更加热心了。
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
8:23 论到提多，他是我的同伴，一同为你们劳碌的。论到那两位兄弟，他们是教会的使者，是基督的荣耀。
Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
8:24 所以你们务要在众教会面前，显明你们爱心的凭据，并我所夸奖你们的凭据。
Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
新约 -- 哥林多后书(2 Corinthians) -- 第 9 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
9:1 论到供给圣徒的事，我不必写信给你们。
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
9:2 因为我知道你们乐意的心，常对马其顿人夸奖你们，说亚该亚人豫备好了，已经有一年了。并且你们的热心激动了许多人。
For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
9:3 但我打发那几位弟兄去，要叫你们照我的话豫备妥当。免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空。
Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
9:4 万一有马其顿人与我同去，见你们没有豫备，就叫我们所确信的，反成了羞愧。你们羞愧，更不用说了。
Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
9:5 因此我想不得不求那几位弟兄，先到你们那里去，把从前所应许的捐赀，豫备妥当，就显出你们所捐的，是出于乐意，不是出于勉强。
Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
9:6 少种的少收，多种的多收。这话是真的。
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
9:7 各人要随本心所酌定的。不要作难，不要勉强，因为捐得乐意的人，是神所喜爱的。
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
9:8 神能将各样的恩惠，多多的加给你们。使你们凡事常常充足，能行各样的善事。
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9:9 如经上所记，他施舍钱财，周济贫穷。他的仁义存到永远。
(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
9:10 那赐种给撒种的，赐粮给人吃的，必多多加给你们种地的种子，又增添你们仁义的果子。
Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
9:11 叫你们凡事富足，可以多多施舍，就藉着我们使感谢归于神。
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
9:12 因为办这供给的事，不但补圣徒的缺乏，而且叫许多人越发感谢神。
For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
9:13 他们从这供给的事上得了凭据，知道你们承认基督顺服他的福音，多多的捐钱给他们和众人，便将荣耀归与神。
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
9:14 他们也因神极大的恩赐，显在你们心里，就切切的想念你们，为你们祈祷。
And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
9:15 感谢神，因他有说不尽的恩赐。
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
新约 -- 哥林多后书(2 Corinthians) -- 第 10 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
10:1 我保罗就是与你们见面的时候是谦卑的，不在你们那里的时候向你们是勇敢的，如今亲自藉着基督的温柔和平，劝你们。
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
10:2 有人以为我是凭着血气行事，我也以为必须用勇敢待这等人，求你们不要叫我在你们那里的时候，有这样的勇敢。
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
10:3 因为我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
10:4 我们争战的兵器，本不是属血气的，乃是在神面前有能力可以攻破坚固的营垒，
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
10:5 将各样的计谋，各样拦阻人认识神的那些自高之事，一概攻破了，又将人所有的心意夺回，使他都顺服基督。
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
10:6 并且我已经豫备好了，等你们十分顺服的时候，要责罚那一切不顺服的人。
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
10:7 你们是看眼前的吗。倘若有人自信是属基督的，他要再想想，他如何属基督，我们也是如何属基督的。
Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
10:8 主赐给我们权柄是要造就你们，并不是要败坏你们。我就是为这权柄稍微夸口，也不至于惭愧。
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
10:9 我说这话免得你们以为我写信是要威吓你们。
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
10:10 因为有人说，他的信，又沉重，又利害。及至见面，却是气貌不扬，言语粗俗的。
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
10:11 这等人当想，我们不在那里的时候，信上的言语如何，见面的时候，行事也必如何。
Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
10:12 因为我们不敢将自己和那自荐的人同列相比。他们用自己度量自己，用自己比较自己，乃是不通达的。
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
10:13 我们不愿意分外夸口，只要照神所量给我们的界限，构到你们那里。
But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
10:14 我们并非过了自己的界限，好像构不到你们那里。因为我们早到你们那里，传了基督的福音。
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
10:15 我们不仗着别人所劳碌的，分外夸口。但指望你们信心增长的时候，所量给我们的界限，就可以因着你们更加开展，
Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
10:16 得以将福音传到你们以外的地方，并不是在别人界限之内，藉着他现成的事夸口。
To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
10:17 但夸口的当指着主夸口。
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
10:18 因为蒙悦纳的，不是自己称许的，乃是主所称许的。
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
新约 -- 哥林多后书(2 Corinthians) -- 第 11 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
11:1 但愿你们宽容我这一点愚妄。其实你们原是宽容我的。
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
11:2 我为你们起的愤恨，原是神那样的愤恨。因为我曾把你们许配一个丈夫，要把你们如同贞洁的童女，献给基督。
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
11:3 我只怕你们的心或偏于邪，失去那向基督所存纯一清洁的心，就像蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃一样。
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
11:4 假如有人来，另传一个耶稣，不是我们所传过的。或着你们另受一个灵，不是你们所受过的。或者另得一个福音，不是你们所得过的。你们容让他也就吧了。
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
11:5 但我想，我一点不在那些最大的使徒以下。
For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
11:6 我的言语虽然粗俗，我的知识却不粗俗。这是我们在凡事上，向你们众人显明出来的。
But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
11:7 我因为白白传神的福音给你们，就自居卑微，叫你们高升，这算是我犯罪吗。
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
11:8 我亏负了别的教会，向他们取了工价来，给你们效力。
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
11:9 我在你们那里缺乏的时候，并没有累着你们一个人。因我所缺乏的，那从马其顿来的弟兄们都补足了。我向来凡事谨守，后来也必谨守，总不至于累着你们。
And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
11:10 既有基督的诚实在我里面，就无人能在亚该亚一带地方阻挡我这自夸。
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11:11 为什么呢。是因我不爱你们吗。这有神知道。
Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
11:12 我现在所作的，后来还要作，为要断绝那些寻机会人的机会，使他们在所夸的事上，也不过与我们一样。
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
11:13 那等人是假使徒，行事诡诈，装作基督使徒的模样。
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
11:14 这也不足为怪。因为连撒但也装作光明的天使。
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
11:15 所以他的差役，若装作仁义的差役，也不算希奇。他们的结局，必然照着他们的行为。
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
11:16 我再说，人不可把我看作愚妄的。纵然如此，也要把我当作愚妄人接纳，叫我可以略略自夸。
I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
11:17 我说的话，不是奉主命说的，乃是像愚妄人放胆自夸。
That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
11:18 既有好些人凭着血气自夸，我也要自夸了。
Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
11:19 你们既是精明的人，就能甘心忍耐愚妄人。
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
11:20 假若有人强你们作奴仆，或侵吞你们，或掳掠你们，或悔慢你们，或打你们的脸，你们都能忍耐他。
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
11:21 我说这话，是羞辱自己。好像我们从前是软弱的。然而人在何事上勇敢，（我说句愚妄话）我也勇敢。
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
11:22 他们是希伯来人吗。我也是。他们是以色列人吗。我也是。他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔吗。我也是。
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
11:23 他们是基督的仆人吗。（我说句狂话）我更是。
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
11:24 我比他们多受劳苦，多下监牢，受鞭打是过重的，冒死是屡次有的。被犹太人鞭打五次，每次四十，减去一下。
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
11:25 被棍打了三次，被石头打了一次，遇着船坏三次，一昼一夜在深海里。
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
11:26 又屡次行远路，遭江河的危险，盗贼的危险，同族的危险，外邦人的危险，城里的危险，旷野的危险，海中的危险，假弟兄的危险。
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
11:27 受劳碌，受困苦，多次不得睡，又饥又渴，多次不得食。受寒冷，赤身露体。
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
11:28 除了这外面的事，还有为众教会挂心的事，天天压在我身上。
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
11:29 有谁软弱，我不软弱呢，有谁跌倒，我不焦急呢。
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
11:30 我若必须自夸，就夸那关乎我软弱的事便了。
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
11:31 那永远可称颂之主耶稣的父神，知道我不说谎。
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
11:32 在大马士革亚哩达王手下的提督，把守大马士革城要捉拿我。
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
11:33 我就从窗户中，在筐子里从城墙上被人缒下去，脱离了他的手。
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
新约 -- 哥林多后书(2 Corinthians) -- 第 12 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
12:1 我自夸固然无益，但我是不得已的。如今我要说到主的显现和启示。
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
12:2 我认得一个在基督里的人，他前十四年被提到第三层天上去。或在身内，我不知道。或在身外，我也不知道。只有神知道。
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
12:3 我认得这人，或在身内，或在身外，我都不知道。只有神知道。
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
12:4 他被提到乐园里，听到隐秘的言语，是人不可说的。
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
12:5 为这人，我要夸口。但是为我自己，除了我的软弱以外，我并不夸口。
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
12:6 我就是愿意夸口，也不算狂。因为我必说实话。只是我禁止不说，恐怕有人把我看高了，过于他在我身上所看见所听见的。
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
12:7 又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大，就过于自高，所以有一根刺加在我肉体上，就是撒但的差役，要攻击我，免得我过于自高。
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
12:8 为这事，我三次求过主，叫这刺离开我。
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
12:9 他对我说，我的恩典够你用的。因为我的能力，是在人的软弱上显得完全。所以我更喜欢夸自己的软弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
12:10 我为基督的缘故，就以软弱，凌辱，急难，逼迫，困苦，为可喜乐的。因我什么时候软弱，什么时候就刚强了。
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
12:11 我成了愚妄人，是被你们强逼的。我本该被你们称许才是。我算不了什么，却没有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
12:12 我在你们中间，用百般的忍耐，藉着神迹奇事异能，显出使徒的凭据来。
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
12:13 除了我不累着你们这一件事，你们还有什么事不及别的教会呢。这不公之处，求你们饶恕我吧。
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
12:14 如今我打算第三次到你们那里去，也必不累着你们，因我所求的是你们，不是你们的财物。儿女不该为父母积财，父母该为儿女积财。
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
12:15 我也甘心乐意为你们的灵魂费财费力。难道我越发爱你们，就越发少得你们的爱吗。
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
12:16 吧了，我自己并没有累着你们，你们却有人说，我是诡诈，用心计牢笼你们。
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
12:17 我所差到你们那里去的人，我藉着他们一个人占过你们的便宜吗。
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
12:18 我劝了提多到你们那里去，又差那位兄弟与他同去。提多占过你们的便宜吗。我们行事，不同是一个心灵吗。不同是一个脚踪吗。（心灵或作圣灵）。
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
12:19 你们到如今，还想我们是向你们分诉。我们本是在基督里当神面前说话。亲爱的弟兄阿，一切的事，都是为造就你们。
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
12:20 我怕我再来的时候，见你们不合我所想望的，你们见我也不合你们所想望的。又怕有分争，嫉妒，恼怒，结党，毁谤，才言，狂傲，混乱的事。
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
12:21 且怕我来的时候，我的神叫我在你们面前渐愧。又因许多人从前犯罪，行污秽奸淫邪荡的事，不肯悔改，我就忧愁。
And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
