哥林多後書 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1親愛的 弟兄 啊，我們既有這等應許，就當潔淨自己，除去身體、靈魂一切的污穢，敬畏上帝，得以成聖。
1Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2你們要心地寬大收納我們。我們未曾虧負誰，未曾敗壞誰，未曾佔誰的便宜。
2Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
3我說這話，不是要定你們的罪。我已經說過，你們常在我們心裏，情願與你們同生同死。
3I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.
4我大大地放膽，向你們說話；我因你們多多誇口，滿得安慰；我們在一切患難中分外地快樂。
4Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
5我們從前就是到了 馬其頓 的時候，身體也不得安寧，周圍遭患難，外有爭戰，內有懼怕。
5For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
6但那安慰喪氣之人的上帝藉着 提多 來安慰了我們；
6But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
7不但藉着他來，也藉着他從你們所得的安慰，安慰了我們；因他把你們的想念、哀慟，和向我的熱心，都告訴了我，叫我更加歡喜。
7and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
8我先前寫信叫你們憂愁，我後來雖然懊悔，如今卻不懊悔；因我知道，那信叫你們憂愁不過是暫時的。
8Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
9如今我歡喜，不是因你們憂愁，是因你們從憂愁中生出懊悔來。你們依着上帝的意思憂愁，凡事就不至於因我們受虧損了。
9And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
10因為依着上帝的意思憂愁，就生出沒有後悔的懊悔來，以致得救；但世俗的憂愁是叫人死。
10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
11你看，你們依着上帝的意思憂愁，從此就生出何等的殷勤、自訴、自恨、恐懼、想念、熱心、責罰。在這一切事上，你們都表明自己是潔淨的。
11Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
12我雖然從前寫信給你們，卻不是為那虧負人的，也不是為那受人虧負的，乃要在上帝面前把你們顧念我們的熱心表明出來。
12So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.
13故此，我們得了安慰。 並且在安慰之中，因你們眾人使 提多 心裏暢快歡喜，我們就更加歡喜了。
13On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
14我若對 提多 誇獎了你們甚麼，也覺得沒有慚愧；因我對 提多 誇獎你們的話成了真的，正如我對你們所說的話也都是真的。
14Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.
15並且 提多 想起你們眾人的順服，是怎樣恐懼戰兢地接待他，他愛你們的心腸就越發熱了。
15And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.
16我如今歡喜，能在凡事上為你們放心。
16I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.
