昔特書此、恐我來時所當使我樂者、反令我憂、蓋我深信爾眾以我樂為樂也、

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.

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

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.

And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is[ the joy] of you all.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

我在主里深信你们必不怀别样的心；但骚扰你们的，无论是谁，必须承受惩罚。

我们又差遣一位弟兄同去。这人的热忱，我们在许多事上屡次考验过，现在他因为深深信任你们，就更加热心了。

我写信给你，深信你必顺服，知道你所要做的，必过于我所说的。

我怕我再来的时候，我的神使我在你们面前蒙羞，并且又因许多人从前犯罪，行污秽、淫乱、放荡的事，不肯悔改而悲伤。这是我第三次要到你们那里去。“任何指控都要凭两个或三个证人的口述才能成立。”对那些犯了罪的人和其余所有的人，正如我第二次见你们的时候曾说过，现在不在你们那里再次说：“我若再来，必不宽容。”

即使我先前那封信使你们忧愁，后来我曾懊悔，如今却不懊悔；因为我知道，那封信使你们忧愁，不过是暂时的。

既然我这样深信，早就有意先到你们那里去，让你们得加倍的益处。

我们靠主对你们有信心，你们现在遵行，以后也必遵行我们所吩咐的。

你们愿意怎么样呢？要我带着棍子到你们那里去呢，还是带着慈爱温柔的心呢？我确实听说在你们中间有淫乱的事；这种淫乱连外邦人中也没有，就是有人和他的继母同居。你们还自高自大！你们不是该觉得痛心，把做这事的人从你们中间赶出去吗？我人虽然不在你们那里，心却在你们那里，好像亲自与你们同在。我奉我们主耶稣的名，已经判断了做这事的人。你们聚会的时候，我的心和你们同在。你们藉着我们主耶稣的权能，

所以，虽然我从前写信给你们，却不是为那亏负人的，也不是为那受人亏负的，而是要在神面前把你们顾念我们的热忱表现出来。

但那安慰灰心之人的神藉着提多来安慰了我们；

我成了愚蠢人，是被你们逼出来的，因为我本该被你们赞许才是。虽然我算不了什么，却没有一件事在那些超级使徒以下。
