问安

¹奉　神旨意作基督耶稣使徒的保罗和兄弟提摩太，写信给在哥林多　神的教会，并亚该亚遍处的众圣徒。Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

²愿恩惠、平安从　神我们的父和主耶稣基督归与你们！Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

赐各样安慰的神

³愿颂赞归与我们的主耶稣基督的父　神，就是发慈悲的父，赐各样安慰的　神。Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

⁴我们在一切患难中，他就安慰我们，叫我们能用　神所赐的安慰去安慰那遭各样患难的人。who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

⁵我们既多受基督的苦楚，就靠基督多得安慰。For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

⁶我们受患难呢，是为叫你们得安慰，得拯救；我们得安慰呢，也是为叫你们得安慰；这安慰能叫你们忍受我们所受的那样苦楚。If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

⁷我们为你们所存的盼望是确定的，因为知道你们既是同受苦楚，也必同得安慰。And our hope for you is sure, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you will share in our comfort.

在亚细亚遭遇苦难

⁸弟兄们，我们不要你们不晓得，我们从前在亚细亚遭遇苦难，被压太重，力不能胜，甚至连活命的指望都绝了；We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

⁹自己心里也断定是必死的，叫我们不靠自己，只靠叫死人复活的　神。Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

¹⁰他曾救我们脱离那极大的死亡，现在仍要救我们，并且我们指望他将来还要救我们。He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us,

¹¹你们以祈祷帮助我们，好叫许多人为我们谢恩，就是为我们因许多人所得的恩。as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.

我们所夸的是良心的见证

¹²我们所夸的是自己的良心，见证我们凭着　神的圣洁和诚实；在世为人不靠人的聪明，乃靠　神的恩惠，向你们更是这样。For this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.

¹³我们现在写给你们的话，并不外乎你们所念的、所认识的，我也盼望你们到底还是要认识；For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,

¹⁴正如你们已经有几分认识我们，以我们夸口，好像我们在我们主耶稣的日子以你们夸口一样。as you have already understood us in part, that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.

改变行程的原因

¹⁵我既然这样深信，就早有意到你们那里去，叫你们再得益处；Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.

¹⁶也要从你们那里经过，往马其顿去，再从马其顿回到你们那里，叫你们给我送行往犹太去。I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, and to return to you from Macedonia, and then to have you help me on my way to Judea.

¹⁷我有此意，岂是反复不定吗？我所起的意，岂是从情欲起的，叫我忽是忽非吗？When I planned this, did I do it carelessly? Or do I make my plans by human standards, so as to say “Yes, yes” and also “No, no”?

神的应许在基督都是是的

¹⁸我指着信实的　神说，我们向你们所传的道，并没有是而又非的。But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

¹⁹因为我和西拉并提摩太，在你们中间所传　神的儿子耶稣基督，总没有是而又非的，在他只有一是。For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

²⁰神的应许，不论有多少，在基督都是是的。所以借着他也都是实在（实在：原文是阿们）的，叫　神因我们得荣耀。For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

²¹那在基督里坚固我们和你们，并且膏我们的就是　神。Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

²²他又用印印了我们，并赐圣灵在我们心里作凭据（原文是质）。placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.

为要宽容你们

²³我呼吁　神给我的心作见证，我没有往哥林多去是为要宽容你们。I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

²⁴我们并不是辖管你们的信心，乃是帮助你们的快乐，因为你们凭信才站立得住。Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.

¹我自己定了主意再到你们那里去，必须大家没有忧愁。So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

²倘若我叫你们忧愁，除了我叫那忧愁的人以外，谁能叫我快乐呢？For if I grieve you, who is left to cheer me but those whom I have grieved?

³我曾把这事写给你们，恐怕我到的时候，应该叫我快乐的那些人，反倒叫我忧愁。我也深信，你们众人都以我的快乐为自己的快乐。I wrote as I did so that on my arrival I would not be grieved by those who ought to make me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would share my joy.

⁴我先前心里难过痛苦，多多地流泪，写信给你们，不是叫你们忧愁，乃是叫你们知道我格外地疼爱你们。For through many tears I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart, not to grieve you but to let you know how much I love you.

要赦免他，安慰他

⁵若有叫人忧愁的，他不但叫我忧愁，也是叫你们众人有几分忧愁。我说几分，恐怕说得太重。Now if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me but all of you—to some degree, not to overstate it.

⁶这样的人受了众人的责罚也就够了，The punishment imposed on him by the majority is sufficient for him.

⁷倒不如赦免他，安慰他，免得他忧愁太过，甚至沉沦了。So instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

⁸所以我劝你们，要向他显出坚定不移的爱心来。Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

⁹为此我先前也写信给你们，要试验你们，看你们凡事顺从不顺从。My purpose in writing you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.

¹⁰你们赦免谁，我也赦免谁。我若有所赦免的，是在基督面前为你们赦免的，If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,

¹¹免得撒但趁着机会胜过我们，因我们并非不晓得他的诡计。in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
