哥林多後書 7
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。
Because then we have these promises, my beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all impurity of the flesh and of the spirit, and accomplish sanctification in the fear of Aloha.
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。
Bear with us, my brethren; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have injured no man.
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。
I speak not to your condemnation; for I have said already, that you are laid up in our hearts to die together and to live.
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。
GREAT is the freedom I have with you, and great in you is my glorying; I am full of consolation, and my joy greatly aboundeth in me in all my afflictions.
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。
When, also, we had come into Makedunia, no repose had we for our body, but in every thing were we afflicted; without fighting, and within, fear.
6 但那安慰喪氣之人的上帝藉着提多來安慰了我們；
But Aloha, who consoleth the humble, consoled us by the coming of Titos;
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。
and not only by his coming, but also by his refreshment wherewith he had been refreshed among you. For he told us of your love toward us, and of your lamentation and your zeal on our behalf. And when I heard, my joy was great.
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。
For though I grieved you in an epistle, I repent me not, though I did repent. For I perceive how that epistle, though for an hour, did make you sorry;
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。
but now I exercise joy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow hath brought you to repentance. For you were sorry towards Aloha; so that in nothing will you suffer loss from 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。
For the sorrow that is for the sake of Aloha worketh soul-penitence, which turneth not and converteth, unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh 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。
For, behold, (in) this very (case) that you were made contrite for the sake of Aloha; what carefulness it wrought in you, and vindication, and displeasure, and fear, and love, and zeal, and punishment! And by every thing have you shown yourselves to be pure 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。
But, it was for this we wrote to you; not on account of the injurer, nor on account of the injured one, but that you may know before Aloha our carefulness over you.
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。
For this cause we were consoled, and with our consolation more abundantly did we rejoice in the joy of Titos; because his spirit had been refreshed with you all.
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。
Because in whatever I had boasted to him concerning you, I have not been ashamed; but, as of every thing we had spoken truth with you, so also our boasting unto Titos hath been found in truth.
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。
And his affection is greatly enlarged toward you, when he remembers your obedience; because with fear and with trembling you received him.
16 我如今歡喜，能在凡事上為你們放心。
I rejoice that in every thing I can confide in you.
