哥林多后书 12:1 · 2 Corinthians 12:1
我自夸固然与我无益。如今我要说到 主的异象和启示。
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12 · King James Version
英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 21 节
我自夸固然与我无益。如今我要说到 主的异象和启示。
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
我认得一个在 基督里的人,他前十四年被提到第三层天上去;(或在身内,我道不出;或在身外,我也道不出来;只有 上帝知道。)
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
我认得这人;(或在身内,或在身外,我都道不出来,只有 上帝知道。)
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
他被提到乐园里,听见说不出来的言语,是人不可说的。
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
为这人,我要夸口;但是为我自己,除了我的软弱以外,我并不夸口。
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
我就是愿意夸口也不算为愚妄人;因为我必说实话。只是如今我禁止不说,恐怕有人把我看高了,过於他在我身上所看见所听见的。
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [that] he heareth of me.
又恐怕我因所得的启示甚大,就过於自高,所以有一根刺加在我肉体上,就是撒但的差役要攻击我,免得我过於自高。
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
为这事,我三次求过 主,叫这刺离开我。
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
他对我说:「我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。」所以,我更喜欢夸自己的软弱,好叫 基督的能力覆庇我。
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
所以我为 基督的缘故,就以软弱丶凌辱丶急难丶逼迫丶困苦为可喜乐的;因我甚麽时候软弱,甚麽时候就刚强了。
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
我成了自夸的愚妄人,是被你们强逼的。我本该被你们称许才是。我虽算不了甚麽,却没有一件事在那些最大的使徒以下。
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
我在你们中间,用百般的忍耐,藉着神迹丶奇事丶异能,真显出使徒的凭据来。
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
除了我不累着你们这一件事,你们还有甚麽事不及别的教会呢?这不公之处,求你们饶恕我吧。
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except [it be] that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
如今,我打算第三次到你们那里去,也必不累着你们;因我所求的是你们,不是你们的财物。儿女不该为父母积财,父母该为儿女积财。
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
虽然我越发爱你们,就越发少得你们的爱,我也甘心乐意为你们费财费力。
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
罢了,我并没有累着你们,你们却有人说,我是诡诈,用心计牢笼你们。
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
我所差到你们那里去的人,我藉着他们一个人占过你们的便宜吗?
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
我请了提多到你们那里去;又差那位兄弟与他同去。提多占过你们的便宜吗?我们行事,不同是一个心灵吗?不同是一个脚踪吗?
I desired Titus, and with [him] I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we] not in the same steps?
你们到如今,还想我们是向你们分诉;我们本是在 基督里当 上帝面前说话。亲爱的弟兄啊,我们作一切的事都是为造就你们。
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
我怕我再来的时候,见你们不合我所想望的,你们见我也不合你们所想望的;又怕有争论丶嫉妒丶恼怒丶纷争丶背後中伤丶窃窃私语丶狂傲丶混乱的事。
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
且怕我再来的时候,我的 上帝叫我在你们面前惭愧,又因许多人已经犯罪,行污秽丶奸淫丶邪荡的事不肯悔改,我就哀哭。
[And] lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
