コリント人への手紙第二 10
1 汝らに對し面前にては謙だり、離れゐては勇ましき我パウロ、自らキリストの柔和と寛容とをもて汝らに勸む。
Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:
2 我らを肉に從ひて歩むごとく思ふ者あれば、斯かる者に對しては雄々しくせんと思へど、願ふ所は我が汝らに逢ふとき斯く勇ましくせざらん事なり。
yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present shew courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, which count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
3 我らは肉にありて歩めども、肉に從ひて戰はず。
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
4 それ我らの戰爭の武器は肉に屬するにあらず、神の前には城砦を破るほどの能力あり、我等はもろもろの論説を破り、
(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strong holds);
5 神の示教に逆ひて建てたる凡ての櫓を毀ち、凡ての念を虜にしてキリストに服はしむ。
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
6 且なんぢらの從順の全くならん時、すべての不 從順を罰せんと覺悟せり。
and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be fulfilled.
7 汝らは外貌のみを見る、若し人みづからキリストに屬する者と信ぜば、己がキリストに屬する如く、我らも亦キリストに屬する者なることを更に考ふべし。
Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we.
8 假令われ汝らを破る爲ならずして建つる爲に、主が我らに賜ひたる權威につきて誇ること稍 過ぐとも恥とはならじ。
For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
9 われ書をもて汝らを嚇すと思はざれ。
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
10 彼らは言ふ『その書は重くかつ強し、その逢ふときの容貌は弱く、言は鄙し』と。
For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
11 斯くのごとき人は思ふべし。我らが離れをる時おくる書の言のごとく、逢ふときの行爲も亦 然るを。
Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are present.
12 我らは己を譽むる人と敢へて竝び、また較ぶる事をせず、彼らは己によりて己を度り、己をもて己に較ぶれば智なき者なり。
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
13 我らは範圍を踰えて誇らず、神の我らに分ち賜ひたる範圍にしたがひて誇らん。その範圍は汝らに及べり。
But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.
14 汝らに及ばぬ者のごとく範圍を踰えて身を延すに非ず、キリストの福音を傳へて汝らにまで到れるなり。
For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:
15 我らは己が範圍を踰えて他の人の勞を誇らず、唯なんぢらの信仰の彌増すにより、我らの範圍に循ひて汝らのうちに更に大ならんことを望む。
not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men’s labours; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,
16 これ他の人の範圍に既に備りたるものを誇らず、汝らを踰えて外の處に福音を宣傳へん爲なり。
so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand.
17 誇る者は主によりて誇るべし。
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18 そは是とせらるるは己を譽むる者にあらず、主の譽め給ふ者なればなり。
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
