哥林多後書 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1我們既然蒙憐憫，受了這職分，就不喪膽，
1Therefore, seeing we have this ministration, according as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;
2乃將那些暗昧可恥的事棄絕了；不行詭詐，不謬講上帝的道理，只將真理表明出來，好在上帝面前把自己薦與各人的良心。
2But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience, in the sight of God.
3如果我們的福音蒙蔽，就是蒙蔽在滅亡的人身上。
3And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost,
4此等不信之人被這世界的神弄瞎了心眼，不叫基督榮耀福音的光照着他們。基督本是上帝的像。
4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them.
5我們原不是傳自己，乃是傳基督耶穌為主，並且自己因耶穌作你們的僕人。
5For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord; and ourselves your servants through Jesus.
6那吩咐光從黑暗裏照出來的上帝，已經照在我們心裏，叫我們得知上帝榮耀的光顯在耶穌基督的面上。
6For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus.
7我們有這寶貝放在瓦器裏，要顯明這莫大的能力是出於上帝，不是出於我們。
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.
8我們四面受敵，卻不被困住；心裏作難，卻不致失望；
8In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute;
9遭逼迫，卻不被丟棄；打倒了，卻不致死亡。
9We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we perish not:
10身上常帶着耶穌的死，使耶穌的生也顯明在我們身上。
10Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.
11因為我們這活着的人是常為耶穌被交於死地，使耶穌的生在我們這必死的身上顯明出來。
11For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake; that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12這樣看來，死是在我們身上發動，生卻在你們身上發動。
12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13但我們既有信心，正如 經上 記着說：「我因信，所以如此說話。」我們也信，所以也說話。
13But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe, for which cause we speak also:
14自己知道那叫主耶穌復活的，也必叫我們與耶穌一同復活，並且叫我們與你們一同站在他面前。
14Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you.
15凡事都是為你們，好叫恩惠因人多越發加增，感謝格外顯多，以致榮耀歸與上帝。
15For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.
16所以，我們不喪膽。外體雖然毀壞，內心卻一天新似一天。
16For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17我們這至暫至輕的苦楚，要為我們成就極重無比、永遠的榮耀。
17For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.
18原來我們不是顧念所見的，乃是顧念所不見的；因為所見的是暫時的，所不見的是永遠的。
18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal.
