哥林多後書-2 Corinthians 第 9 章 |
9:1 | 關於供給聖徒的事,寫信給你們,於我原是多餘的。 For concerning the ministry to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you; |
9:2 | 因為我知道你們的熱切,就是我常對馬其頓人所誇耀你們的,說亞該亞人在一年前就預備好了;你們的熱心便激動了許多人。 For I know your eagerness, of which I boast on your behalf to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared since last year; and your zeal has stirred up the greater number of them. |
9:3 | 但我打發那幾位弟兄去,使我們在這方麵為你們所誇耀的,不至於落空,好叫你們照我所說的預備好, But I sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf might not be made void in this respect, that, as I said, you might be prepared; |
9:4 | 免得萬一有馬其頓人與我同去,發現你們沒有預備好,就叫我們所確信的蒙羞,你們就更不用說了。 Lest, if the Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to mention you, be put to shame in this confidence. |
9:5 | 所以,我想必須勸那幾位弟兄先到你們那裏去,把你們先前所應許的祝福事前安排好,使這事如此預備好了,就成為受者的祝福,而不成為施者的貪婪。 Therefore I thought it necessary to entreat the brothers to go before to you and make ready beforehand your previously promised blessing, that thus this might be ready as a blessing and not as a matter of covetousness. |
9:6 | 還有,少種的少收,多種的多收。 But take note of this: He who sows sparingly shall also sparingly reap; and he who sows with blessings shall also with blessings reap; |
9:7 | 各人要照心裏所酌定的,不要作難,不要勉強,因為神喜愛樂意施與的人。 Each one as he has purposed in his heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. |
9:8 | 神能使各樣的恩典向你們洋溢,使你們在凡事上常常十分充足,能洋溢出各樣的善工。 And God is able to make all grace abound unto you, that, in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound unto every good work; |
9:9 | 就如經上所記:“他分施周濟貧賤,他的義存到永遠。” Even as it is written, "He has scattered abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness abides forever.'' |
9:10 | 那豐富供應種子給撒種者,並豐富供應糧食作食物的,必供應並繁增你們的種子,又增添你們義的果子, Now He who bountifully supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and cause the fruits of your righteousness to increase. |
9:11 | 使你們凡事富足,以致十分慷慨,就藉著我們對神生出感謝; You in everything are being enriched unto all liberality, which works out through us thanksgiving to God, |
9:12 | 因為這服事的供應,不但補足聖徒的缺乏,也藉著許多對神的感謝而洋溢。 Because the ministry of this service is not only filling up the lack of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God. |
9:13 | 他們因著你們承認基督的福音而有的服從,以及你們對他們和眾人慷慨的交通,就稱許這供給的事,藉以榮耀神。 They, through the approving of this ministry, are glorifying God based upon the subjection unto the gospel of Christ that issues from your confession, and upon the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all; |
9:14 | 他們也因神在你們身上超越的恩典,切切的想念你們,為你們祈求。 While in petition on your behalf they also long after you on account of the surpassing grace of God upon you. |
9:15 | 感謝神,為著祂難以形容的恩賜。 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! |
