林後2

哥林多後書-2 Corinthians 第 2 章

2:1	但為了我自己，我已經這樣斷定，不再帶著憂愁到你們那裏去。 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.
2:2	因為我若叫你們憂愁，這樣，除了我叫他憂愁的那人以外，誰能叫我快樂？ For if I cause you sorrow, who then is the one who makes me glad, except the one who is made sorrowful by me?
2:3	我曾把這事寫給你們，免得我來的時候，那些應該叫我喜樂的人，反倒叫我憂愁；我深信你們眾人，都以我的喜樂為你們眾人的喜樂。 And I wrote this very thing to you that when I come I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.
2:4	我先前由於許多的患難，和心中的困苦，多多的流淚，寫信給你們，不是要叫你們憂愁，乃是要叫你們知道，我對你們的愛是格外充盈的。 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you would be made sorrowful but that you would know the love which I have more abundantly toward you.
2:5	隻是若有叫人憂愁的，他不是叫我憂愁，乃是有幾分叫你們眾人憂愁。（我說幾分，免得我說得太重。） But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused me to sorrow, but in part (lest I lay too heavy a burden) all of you.
2:6	這樣的人，受了多數人的責罰，也就夠了， Sufficient for such a one is this punishment by the majority,
2:7	你們倒不如饒恕他，安慰他，免得這樣的人或者憂愁太過，就被吞滅了。 So that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.
2:8	所以我勸你們，要向他證實你們的愛。 Therefore I exhort you to confirm your love toward him.
2:9	為此我也曾寫信給你們，要知道你們經過試驗的品德，看你們是否在凡事上都順從。 For to this end also I wrote, that I might know your approvedness, whether you are obedient in all things.
2:10	你們饒恕誰什麼，我也饒恕；我若曾有所饒恕，我所已經饒恕的，是在基督的麵前，為你們饒恕的； But whom you forgive anything, I also forgive; for also what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sake in the person of Christ;
2:11	免得我們給撒但占了便宜，因我們並非不曉得他的陰謀。 That we may not be taken advantage of by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
2:12	再者，我從前為基督的福音到了特羅亞，藉著主也有門向我開了， Furthermore, when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was open to me in the Lord,
2:13	那時沒有找到我的弟兄提多，我靈裏不安，便辭別那裏的人，往馬其頓去了。 I had no rest in my spirit, for I did not find Titus my brother; but taking leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.
2:14	感謝神，祂常在基督裏，在凱旋的行列中帥領我們，並藉著我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣； But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ and manifests the savor of the knowledge of Him through us in every place.
2:15	因為無論在那些正在得救的人中，或是在那些正在滅亡的人中，我們都是獻給神的基督馨香之氣： For we are a fragrance of Christ to God in those who are being saved and in those who are perishing:
2:16	在這等人，就是出於死的香氣叫人死；在那等人，就是出於生命的香氣叫人活；對這些事，誰夠資格？ To some a savor out of death unto death, and to the others a savor out of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
2:17	我們不像那許多人，為利混亂神的話，而是出於純誠，出於神，在神麵前在基督裏講神的話。 For we are not like the many, adulterating the word of God for profit; but as out of sincerity, but as out of God, before God we speak in Christ.
