2 Corinthians

警告和问候

1这是我第三次要到你们那里去。「凭两三个人的口作见证，句句都要定准。」

2我从前说过，如今不在你们那里又说，正如我第二次见你们的时候所说的一样，就是对那犯了罪的和其余的人说：「我若再来，必不宽容。」

3你们既然寻求基督在我里面说话的凭据，我必不宽容。因为，基督在你们身上不是软弱的，在你们里面是有大能的。

4他因软弱被钉在十字架上，却因 神的大能仍然活着。我们也是这样同他软弱，但因 神向你们所显的大能，也必与他同活。

5你们总要自己省察有信心没有，也要自己试验。岂不知你们若不是可弃绝的，就有耶稣基督在你们心里吗？

6我却盼望你们晓得，我们不是可弃绝的人。

7我们求 神，叫你们一件恶事都不做；这不是要显明我们是蒙悦纳的，是要你们行事端正，任凭人看我们是被弃绝的吧！

8我们凡事不能敌挡真理，只能扶助真理。

9即便我们软弱，你们刚强，我们也欢喜；并且我们所求的，就是你们作完全人。

10所以，我不在你们那里的时候，把这话写给你们，好叫我见你们的时候，不用照主所给我的权柄严厉地待你们。这权柄原是为造就人，并不是为败坏人。

11还有末了的话：愿弟兄们都喜乐。要作完全人；要受安慰；要同心合意；要彼此和睦。如此，仁爱和平的 神必常与你们同在。

12你们亲嘴问安，彼此务要圣洁。

13众圣徒都问你们安。

14愿主耶稣基督的恩惠、 神的慈爱、圣灵的感动常与你们众人同在！

1This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

2I 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,

3seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

4For 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 towards you.

5Examine 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.

6But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

7Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honourable, though we may seem to have failed.

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

10For 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.

11Finally, 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.

12Greet one another with a holy kiss.

13All the saints greet you.

14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
