2 Corinthians 12

Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
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。
2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.
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。)
3And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—
3我认得这人;(或在身内,或在身外,我都不知道,只有 神知道。)
4was caught up to Paradise. The things he heard were too sacred for words, things that man is not permitted to tell.
4他被提到乐园里,听见隐秘的言语,是人不可说的。
5I will boast about such a man, but I will not boast about myself, except in my weaknesses.
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。
6Even if I wanted to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me,
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。
7or because of these surpassingly great revelations. So to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
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。
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
8为这事,我三次求过主,叫这刺离开我。
9But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
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。
10That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
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。
11I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. In fact, you should have commended me, since I am in no way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
11我成了愚妄人,是被你们强逼的。我本该被你们称许才是。我虽算不了什么,却没有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。
12The true marks of an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were performed among you with great perseverance.
12我在你们中间,用百般的忍耐,借着神迹、奇事、异能显出使徒的凭据来。
13In what way were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
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。
14See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
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。
15And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?
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?
16Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you; but crafty as I am, I caught you by trickery.
16罢了,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。
17Did I exploit you by anyone I sent you?
17我所差到你们那里去的人,我借着他们一个人占过你们的便宜吗?
18I urged Titus to visit you, and I sent our brother with him. Did Titus exploit you in any way? Did we not walk in the same Spirit and follow in the same footsteps?
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?
19Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.
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 啊,一切的事都是为造就你们。
20For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
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;又怕有纷争、嫉妒、恼怒、结党、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、混乱的事。
21I am afraid that when I come again, my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of their acts of impurity, sexual immorality, and debauchery.
21且怕我来的时候,我的 神叫我在你们面前惭愧,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。
