哥林多後書 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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？
1Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters 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 letter, written in our hearts, 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 revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
4我們因基督，所以在上帝面前才有這樣的信心。
4Such confidence we have through Christ toward 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 of ourselves to account anything as from 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 made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
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，
7But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
8何況那屬靈的職事豈不更有榮光嗎？
8won’t service of the Spirit be with much more 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 service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more 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 most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
11若那廢掉的有榮光，這長存的就更有榮光了。
11For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12我們既有這樣的盼望，就大膽講說，
12Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
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, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
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 minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
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 to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16但他們的心幾時歸向主，帕子就幾時除去了。
16But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is 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 the 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, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
