昔我以書達爾、恐來時所當使我樂者、轉令我憂耳、蓋我樂即爾樂、吾知之素矣、

蓋我深知爾眾以我之樂為己之樂、

此點吾在前書中亦曾提及、以免吾來之時、應使我歡欣鼓舞者、反貽我以憂戚耳。且吾固深信爾等莫不以吾之樂為樂也。

I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy.

What I wrote to you I wrote for a special reason. When I came, I didn’t want to be troubled by those who should make me glad. I was sure that all of you would share my joy.

And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

That is why I wrote to you as I did, so that when I do come, I won’t be grieved by the very ones who ought to give me the greatest joy. Surely you all know that my joy comes from your being joyful.

I wrote this very thing so that when I came I wouldn’t have pain from those who ought to give me joy, because I am confident about all of you that my joy will also be yours.

This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy was the joy of you all.

And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

我緣主深信爾無異志、但擾爾者、不論何人、必服其鞫、

又遣一兄弟偕往、我於諸事屢驗其慇懃、今以篤信爾曹而慇懃愈切、

我深信爾之順服、故書遺爾、知爾所為、必過我所言、

又恐我再至時、上帝卑我於爾前、我將為彼干罪諸人、未改悔其污穢淫亂、邪侈之行者而憂也、我將三就爾、證以二三人之口、而所言悉定、我昔先言之、今雖暌違、仍先言之、如二次覿面時然、即告彼素干罪者、及其餘人、迨我復來、必不恕之、

昔我遺書使爾憂、雖曾悔之、今不悔矣、蓋知此書令爾憂者暫耳、

我據此素欲就爾、俾復獲益、

我賴主深信、所命爾者、爾今行之、終必行之、

爾何所欲乎、欲我以杖就爾乎、抑以仁慈與溫柔之心乎、聞爾中淫亂、有烝其父之繼室者、雖異邦亦未之有也、爾猶自矜、而不哀傷、使行此者見擯於爾中、我身違而心在、如我偕爾而擬犯此者矣、爾與我心會集、以我主耶穌之能、而奉其名、付若人於撒但、以滅其形軀、使其靈得救於主耶穌之日、爾之誇非善也、豈不知些須之酵、發全團乎、爾當盡淨舊酵、俾成新團、如無酵然、蓋我儕之逾越羔已見宰、即基督也、故當守節、不以舊酵、不以暴很惡慝之酵、乃以純淨誠實之無酵餅焉、○昔我以書遺爾、勿與淫者交、然非概謂斯世之淫者、與貪婪、殘酷、拜像者、若然、則爾必離乎世矣、今我以書遺爾、若有名為兄弟、而淫亂、貪婪、拜像、詬詈、沉湎、殘酷、則勿與之交、亦勿與之共食、蓋會外者與我何涉而擬之、爾之所擬、非會內者乎、會外者上帝擬之、爾中之惡者、爾其擯之、

我雖以書遺爾、非因枉人者、亦非因枉於人者、惟令爾為我之慇懃顯於爾中、在上帝前、

然慰卑微者之上帝、以提多之至慰我、

我為愚矣、緣爾逼我、蓋我當為爾所舉、我雖不足數、而不亞於至大使徒、
