Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.
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。
2Receive us. We have injured no man, we have corrupted no man, we have overreached no man.
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。
3I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.
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。
4Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.
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。
5For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.
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。
6But God, who comforteth the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus.
6但那安慰喪氣之人的上帝藉着 提多 來安慰了我們；
7And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.
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。
8For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;
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。
9Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.
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。
10For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
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。
11For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.
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。
12Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you
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。
13Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
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。
14And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.
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。
15And his bowels are more abundantly towards you; remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you have received him.
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。
16I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
16我如今歡喜，能在凡事上為你們放心。
