Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.
1我－ 保羅 ，就是與你們見面的時候是謙卑的，不在你們那裏的時候向你們是勇敢的，如今親自藉着基督的溫柔、和平勸你們。
2I beg you that when I come I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.
2有人以為我是憑着血氣行事，我也以為必須用勇敢待這等人；求你們不要叫我在你們那裏的時候，有這樣的勇敢。
3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
3因為我們雖然在血氣中行事，卻不憑着血氣爭戰。
4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
4我們爭戰的兵器本不是屬血氣的，乃是在上帝面前有能力，可以攻破堅固的營壘，
5We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
5將各樣的計謀，各樣攔阻人認識上帝的那些自高之事，一概攻破了，又將人所有的心意奪回，使他都順服基督。
6And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.
6並且我已經預備好了，等你們十分順服的時候，要責罰那一切不順服的人。
7You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does.
7你們是看眼前的嗎？倘若有人自信是屬基督的，他要再想想，他如何屬基督，我們也是如何屬基督的。
8For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.
8主賜給我們權柄，是要造就你們，並不是要敗壞你們；我就是為這權柄稍微誇口，也不至於慚愧。
9I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters.
9我 說這話 ，免得你們以為我寫信是要威嚇你們；
10For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.”
10因為有人說：「他的信又沉重又厲害，及至見面，卻是氣貌不揚，言語粗俗的。」
11Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.
11這等人當想，我們不在那裏的時候，信上的言語如何，見面的時候，行事也必如何。
12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
12因為我們不敢將自己和那自薦的人同列相比。他們用自己度量自己，用自己比較自己，乃是不通達的。
13We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.
13我們不願意分外誇口，只要照上帝所量給我們的界限搆到你們那裏。
14We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
14我們並非過了自己的界限，好像搆不到你們那裏；因為我們早到你們那裏，傳了基督的福音。
15Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
15我們不仗着別人所勞碌的，分外誇口；但指望你們信心增長的時候，所量給我們的界限，就可以因着你們更加開展，
16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
16得以將福音傳到你們以外的地方；並不是在別人界限之內，藉着他現成的事誇口。
17Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
17但誇口的，當指着主誇口。
18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
18因為蒙悅納的，不是自己稱許的，乃是主所稱許的。
