哥林多後書 12
1 必須誇耀──固然無益──我就來說說主的顯現和啟示。
To boast (it behooves [me], *N(K)O*) not (is it profitable indeed, *N(K)O*) I will go on (however *N(k)O*) to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.
2 我知道有一個在基督內的人，十四年前，被提到二層天上去──或在身內，我不知道或在身外，我也不知道，惟天主知道──
I know a man in Christ ago years fourteen — whether in [the] body not I know, or out of the body not I know, God knows — having been caught up such a man until [the] third heaven.
3 我知道這人──或在身內，或在身外外，我不知道──天主知道──
And I know such a man — whether in [the] body or (out of *N(k)O*) the body, not I know, God knows —
4 他被提到樂園裏去，聽到了不可言傳的話，是人不能說出的。
that he was caught up into Paradise and he heard inexpressible declaration which not being permitted to man to speak.
5 對這樣的人，我要誇耀；但為我自己，除了我的軟弱外，我沒有可誇耀火。
Concerning such a man I will boast, concerning however myself not I will boast only except in the weaknesses (of mine; *K*)
6 其實，既使我願意誇耀，我也不算是狂妄，因為我說的是實話；但是我絕口不談，免得有人估計我，超了他在我身上所見到的，或由我所聽到的。
If for I shall desire to boast, not I will be a fool; [the] truth for I will be speaking; I refrain however lest anyone to me myself may credit more than what he sees in me, or hears anything of me
7 免得我因那高超的啟示而過於高舉我自己，故在身體上給了我一根刺，就是撒殫的使者來拳擊我，免得我過於高舉我自己。
and the by surpassingness of the revelations. (Therefore *NO*) that not I may become conceited, was given to me a thorn in [my] flesh, a messenger of Satan that me he may buffet so that not I may become conceited.
8 關於這事，我曾三次求主使它脫離我；
For this three times the Lord I begged that it may depart from me.
9 但主對我說：「有我的恩寵為你夠了，因為我的德能在軟弱中才全顯出來。」所以我甘 心情願誇耀我的軟弱，好叫基督的德能常在我身上。
And He has said to me; Suffices you the grace of Mine; the for power (of mine *K*) in weakness (is finished. *N(k)O*) Most gladly therefore rather will I boast in the weaknesses of mine, so that may rest upon me myself the power of Christ.
10 為此，我為基督的緣故，喜歡在軟弱中，在淩辱中，在艱難中，在迫害中，在困苦中，因為我幾軟弱，正是我有能力的時候。
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions (and *N(k)O*) difficulties for Christ; when for I may be weak then strong I am.
11 我成了狂妄的人，那是你們逼我的。本來我該受 的褒揚，因為縱然我不算什麼，卻一點也不在那些超等的宗徒以下。
I have become a fool (boasting; *K*) you yourselves me compelled. I myself for was being obliged by you to have been commended; [In] no[thing] for was I inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles, if even no [thing] I am.
12 宗徒的記號，也在你們中間，以各種的堅忍，藉著徵兆、奇蹟和異能，真正實現了；
The indeed signs of the apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, (in *k*) signs (both *no*) and in wonders and in miracles.
13 其實除了我本人沒有連累過你們這件事外，你們有什麼不及別的教會之處呢﹖關於這個委曲，你們寬恕我罷!
In what for is it that you were inferior beyond the rest [of the] churches, only except that myself I myself not did burden you? do forgive me wrong this!
14 看，這已是第三次我預備好，到那裏去，我還是不連累你們，因為我所求的不是你們的東西，而你們自己；原來不是兒女應為父母積蓄，而是父母該為兒女積蓄。
Behold third time (this *no*) ready I am to come to you and not I will burden (you; *k*) not for I seek what [is] yours but you. Not for ought the children for the parents to treasure up but the parents for the children;
15 至於我，我甘心情願為的靈魂付出一切，並將我自己也完全耗盡；難道我越多愛你們，就該少得你們的愛嗎﹖
I myself now most gladly will spend and I will be utterly spent for the souls of you, If (even *k*) more abundantly you (loving *NK(o)*) (less *N(k)O*) I am loved!
16 是啊! 我沒有連累過你們，但我是出於狡滑，以詭計詐取了你們。
it should be however, I myself not did burden you; but being crafty by trickery you I caught.
17 在我所打發到你們那裏去的人中，難道我曾藉著其中的一位，詐取了你們的便宜嗎﹖
Surely not any of whom I have sent to you, through him did I exploit you?
18 我曾請戈支了弟鐸，並打發了一位弟兄同去；難道弟鐸佔過你們的便宜嗎﹖我們行動來往，不具有一樣的心神，一樣的步伐嗎﹖
I urged Titus [to go] and sent with [him] the brother; surely not ever did exploit you Titus? Surely in the same spirit did we walk? Not in the same steps?
19 到如今你們以為我是向你們申辯罷! 其實我們是在基督內當著天主的面說話；這一切，親愛的，都是為建樹你們，
(Previously *N(K)O*) you have been thinking that to you we are presenting a defense. (before *N(k)O*) (*k*) God in Christ we speak. but all things, beloved, for your edification.
20 因為我怕我來到的時候，你們也見我不合於我所想望的，你們也見於我石合於所想望的：就是怕有爭端、嫉妒、憤怒、分裂、毀謗、挑唆、自大、紛亂；
I fear for lest perhaps having come not such as I wish I may find you, and I myself and I myself may be found by you such as not you do wish, lest perhaps (a quarrel, jealousy, *N(k)O*) anger, contentions slander, gossip, conceit, disorder,
21 又怕我到的時候，我的天主再使我在你們前受委曲，為那許多從前犯了罪而不悔改他們所習行的不潔、淫亂和放蕩的人而慟哭。
lest again (when was coming *N(k)O*) (I *no*) (he may humble *NK(o)*) me the God, of mine before you, and I may mourn over many of those having sinned before and not having repented of the impurity and of sexual immorality and of sensuality that they have practiced.
