Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
1奉上帝旨意作基督耶穌使徒的 保羅 和兄弟 提摩太 ，寫信給在 哥林多 上帝的教會，並 亞該亞 遍處的眾聖徒。
2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2願恩惠、平安從上帝我們的父和主耶穌基督歸與你們！
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
3願頌讚歸與我們的主耶穌基督的父上帝，就是發慈悲的父，賜各樣安慰的上帝。
4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
4我們在一切患難中，他就安慰我們，叫我們能用上帝所賜的安慰去安慰那遭各樣患難的人。
5For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
5我們既多受基督的苦楚，就靠基督多得安慰。
6If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.
6我們受患難呢，是為叫你們得安慰，得拯救；我們得安慰呢，也是為叫你們得安慰；這安慰能叫你們忍受我們所受的那樣苦楚。
7And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.
7我們為你們所存的盼望是確定的，因為知道你們既是同受苦楚，也必同得安慰。
8We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
8弟兄們，我們不要你們不曉得，我們從前在 亞細亞 遭遇苦難，被壓太重，力不能勝，甚至連活命的指望都絕了；
9Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.
9自己心裏也斷定是必死的，叫我們不靠自己，只靠叫死人復活的上帝。
10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,
10他曾救我們脫離那極大的死亡，現在仍要救我們，並且我們指望他將來還要救我們。
11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.
11你們以祈禱幫助我們，好叫許多人為我們謝恩，就是為我們因許多人所得的恩。
12And this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.
12我們所誇的是自己的良心，見證我們憑着上帝的聖潔和誠實；在世為人不靠人的聰明，乃靠上帝的恩惠，向你們更是這樣。
13For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,
13我們現在寫給你們的話，並不外乎你們所念的、所認識的，我也盼望你們到底還是要認識；
14as you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.
14正如你們已經有幾分認識我們，以我們誇口，好像我們在我們主耶穌的日子以你們誇口一樣。
15Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
15我既然這樣深信，就早有意到你們那裏去，叫你們再得益處；
16I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.
16也要從你們那裏經過，往 馬其頓 去，再從 馬其頓 回到你們那裏，叫你們給我送行往 猶太 去。
17When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” when I really mean “No, no”?
17我有此意，豈是反覆不定嗎？我所起的意，豈是從情慾起的，叫我忽是忽非嗎？
18But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
18我指着信實的上帝說，我們向你們所傳的道，並沒有是而又非的。
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”
19因為我和 西拉 並 提摩太 ，在你們中間所傳上帝的兒子耶穌基督，總沒有是而又非的，在他只有一是。
20For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.
20上帝的應許，不論有多少，在基督都是是的。所以藉着他也都是實在的，叫上帝因我們得榮耀。
21Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,
21那在基督裏堅固我們和你們，並且膏我們的就是上帝。
22placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
22他又用印印了我們，並賜 聖 靈在我們心裏作憑據。
23I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.
23我呼籲上帝給我的心作見證，我沒有往 哥林多 去是為要寬容你們。
24Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.
24我們並不是轄管你們的信心，乃是幫助你們的快樂，因為你們憑信才站立得住。
