Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written between the lines and nothing you can’t understand. I hope someday you will fully understand us,

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；

我所書無他、惟爾所讀所識者、冀爾至終識之、

吾書無他、惟爾所知所受者、或望爾至終受之、

我所書之言無他、惟爾所讀所識者、我望如爾今已畧識我、至終亦必識我、迨我主耶穌基督之日、爾可以我為誇、如我以爾為誇、○

吾儕茲欲為爾等言者、亦不外爾等所習誦而體會者；

For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,

We are writing only what you can read and understand. And here is what I hope.

For we are not writing to you anything other than what you read and understand and I hope you will fully understand—

For we are writing nothing to you other than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely—

For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;

For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end

For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:

Now we are writing nothing to you other than what you can read and also understand. I hope you will understand completely—

For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

For we do not write you anything other than what you can read and also understand. But I hope that you will understand completely

For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end,

And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ.

Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too.

As you test yourselves, I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test of apostolic authority.

We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this.
