哥林多後書 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1我們豈是又舉薦自己嗎？豈像別人用人的薦信給你們或用你們的薦信給人嗎？
1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
2你們就是我們的薦信，寫在我們的心裏，被眾人所知道所念誦的。
2You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:
3你們明顯是基督的信，藉着我們修成的。不是用墨寫的，乃是用永生上帝的靈寫的；不是寫在石版上，乃是寫在心版上。
3Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
4我們因基督，所以在上帝面前才有這樣的信心。
4And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
5並不是我們憑自己能承擔甚麼事；我們所能承擔的，乃是出於上帝。
5Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
6他叫我們能承當這新約的執事，不是憑着字句，乃是憑着精意；因為那字句是叫人死，精意是叫人活。
6Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.
7那用字刻在石頭上屬死的職事尚且有榮光，甚至 以色列 人因 摩西 面上的榮光，不能定睛看他的臉；這榮光原是漸漸退去的，
7Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void:
8何況那屬靈的職事豈不更有榮光嗎？
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
9若是定罪的職事有榮光，那稱義的職事榮光就越發大了。
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
10那從前有榮光的，因這極大的榮光就算不得有榮光了；
10For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11若那廢掉的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。
11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.
12我們既有這樣的盼望，就大膽講說，
12Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence:
13不像 摩西 將帕子蒙在臉上，叫 以色列 人不能定睛看到那將廢者 的 結局。
13And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.
14但他們的心地剛硬，直到今日誦讀舊約的時候，這帕子還沒有揭去。這帕子在基督裏已經廢去了。
14But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).
15然而直到今日，每逢誦讀 摩西 書 的時候，帕子還在他們心上。
15But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16但他們的心幾時歸向主，帕子就幾時除去了。
16But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
17主就是那靈；主的靈在哪裏，那裏就得以自由。
17Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18我們眾人既然敞着臉得以看見主的榮光，好像從鏡子裏返照，就變成主的形狀，榮上加榮，如同從主的靈變成的。
18But we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
