2 Corinthians 13
1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”
这是我第三次到你们那里去，“各样事情必须凭两三个证人的口，才能确定。”
2 I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,
尽管我不在那里，但还是要再次警告他们，还有你们所有人——当我造访时，会毫不犹豫地对他们采取行动，
3 seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.
因为你们在找基督借着我说话的凭据。基督对你们并非软弱，相反，他对你们是有能力的。
4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
他因软弱被钉死了，却靠着上帝的大能活着。我们在他里面也是软弱的，但靠着上帝向你们所显的大能，也必与他一同活着。
5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
你们应当察验自己是不是坚守信仰，也应当考验自己。难道不晓得基督耶稣就是与你们同在吗？（除非你们经不起考验。）
6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.
我盼望你们知晓，我们并非经不起考验的人。
7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.
我们祈求上帝，让你们不要做什么恶事。这并不是要显示我们经得起考验，而是要你们行善。至于我们，就让我们做经不起考验的人好了！
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
我们不能做什么违背真理的事，只能维护真理。
9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
当我们软弱、你们刚强的时候，我们就欢喜。我们所求的，就是要你们完整。
10 For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
因此，我趁着不在你们那里的时候，把这些话写给你们，这样当我去了你们那里，就不必凭着主所给我的权力严厉地对待你们。这权力不是为了拆毁你们，而是要建立你们。
11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
最后，兄弟姐妹们，你们要欢喜，要圆满，要获得安慰，要同心，要和睦。这样，恩典赐予平安的上帝必与你们同在。
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.
你们要用圣洁的亲吻彼此问安。
13 All the saints greet you.
众圣徒问候你们。
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
愿主耶稣基督的恩惠，上帝的慈爱，圣灵的交流，常与你们众人同在。
