7:1
|
亲爱的弟兄啊，我们既有这等应许，就当洁净自己，除去身体、灵魂一切的污秽，敬畏神，得以成圣。
|
|
|
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
|
|
7:2
|
你们要心地宽大收纳我们。我们未曾亏负谁，未曾败坏谁，未曾占谁的便宜。
|
|
|
Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.
|
|
7:3
|
我说这话，不是要定你们的罪。我已经说过，你们常在我们心里，情愿与你们同生同死。
|
|
|
I say it not to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together.
|
|
7:4
|
我大大的放胆，向你们说话；我因你们多多夸口，满得安慰；我们在一切患难中分外的快乐。
|
|
|
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
|
|
7:5
|
我们从前就是到了马其顿的时候，身体也不得安宁，周围遭患难，外有争战，内有惧怕。
|
|
|
For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but [we were] afflicted on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.
|
|
7:6
|
但那安慰丧气之人的神借着提多来安慰了我们；
|
|
|
Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly, [even] God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
|
|
7:7
|
不但借着他来，也借着他从你们所得的安慰，安慰了我们；因他把你们的想念、哀恸，和向我的热心，都告诉了我，叫我更加欢喜。
|
|
|
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more.
|
|
7:8
|
我先前写信叫你们忧愁，我后来虽然懊悔，如今却不懊悔；因我知道，那信叫你们忧愁不过是暂时的。
|
|
|
For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret [it] (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),
|
|
7:9
|
如今我欢喜，不是因你们忧愁，是因你们从忧愁中生出懊悔来。你们依着神的意思忧愁，凡事就不至于因我们受亏损了。
|
|
|
I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.
|
|
7:10
|
因为依着神的意思忧愁，就生出没有后悔的懊悔来。以致得救；但世俗的忧愁是叫人死。
|
|
|
For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, [a repentance] which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
|
|
7:11
|
你看，你们依着神的意思忧愁，从此就生出何等的殷勤、自诉、自恨、恐惧、想念、热心、责罚（或作：自责）。在这一切事上，你们都表明自己是洁净的。
|
|
|
For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
|
|
7:12
|
我虽然从前写信给你们，却不是为那亏负人的，也不是为那受人亏负的，乃要在神面前把你们顾念我们的热心表明出来。
|
|
|
So although I wrote unto you, I [wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.
|
|
7:13
|
故此，我们得了安慰。并且在安慰之中，因你们众人使提多心里畅快欢喜，我们就更加欢喜了。
|
|
|
Therefore we have been comforted: And in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all.
|
|
7:14
|
我若对提多夸奖了你们什么，也觉得没有惭愧；因我对提多夸奖你们的话成了真的，正如我对你们所说的话也都是真的。
|
|
|
For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
|
|
7:15
|
并且提多想起你们众人的顺服，是怎样恐惧战兢的接待他，他爱你们的心肠就越发热了。
|
|
|
And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
|
|
7:16
|
我如今欢喜，能在凡事上为你们放心。
|
|
|
I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
