Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow.
1我自己定了主意再到你們那裏去，必須大家沒有憂愁。
2For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?
2倘若我叫你們憂愁，除了我叫那憂愁的人以外，誰能叫我快樂呢？
3And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
3我曾把這事寫給你們，恐怕我到的時候，應該叫我快樂的那些人，反倒叫我憂愁。我也深信，你們眾人都以我的快樂為自己的快樂。
4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you.
4我先前心裏難過痛苦，多多地流淚，寫信給你們，不是叫你們憂愁，乃是叫你們知道我格外地疼愛你們。
5And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.
5若有叫人憂愁的，他不但叫我憂愁，也是叫你們眾人有幾分憂愁。我說幾分，恐怕說得太重。
6To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many:
6這樣的人受了眾人的責罰也就夠了，
7So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
7倒不如赦免他，安慰他，免得他憂愁太過，甚至沉淪了。
8Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.
8所以我勸你們，要向他顯出堅定不移的愛心來。
9For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
9為此我先前也寫信給你們，要試驗你們，看你們凡事順從不順從。
10And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ.
10你們赦免誰，我也赦免誰。我若有所赦免的，是在基督面前為你們赦免的，
11That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.
11免得撒但趁着機會勝過我們，因我們並非不曉得他的詭計。
12And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and a door was opened unto me in the Lord,
12我從前為基督的福音到了 特羅亞 ，主也給我開了門。
13I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother; but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia.
13那時，因為沒有遇見兄弟 提多 ，我心裏不安，便辭別那裏的人往 馬其頓 去了。
14Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus, and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place.
14感謝上帝！常率領我們在基督裏誇勝，並藉着我們在各處顯揚那因認識基督而有的香氣。
15For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.
15因為我們在上帝面前，無論在得救的人身上或滅亡的人身上，都有基督馨香之氣。
16To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
16在這等人，就作了死的香氣叫他死；在那等人，就作了活的香氣叫他活。這事誰能當得起呢？
17For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.
17我們不像那許多人，為利混亂上帝的道；乃是由於誠實，由於上帝，在上帝面前憑着基督講道。
