我不復至哥林多、惟因寛容爾曹、我籲天主為我心作證、

我呼吁神给我的心作见证，我没有往哥林多去是为要宽容你们。

我指着我的性命求告上帝作证，我没有再往哥林多去是为了要宽容你们。

我指着我的性命求告神作证，我没有再往哥林多去是为了要宽容你们。

我求上帝为我作证：我没有去哥林多，是为了宽容你们。

我呼求神给我作证，我没有再到哥林多来，是要宽容你们。

我求告神为我的灵魂见证：我没有再往哥林多去，是因为顾惜你们。

我呼籲神給我的心作見證，我沒有往哥林多去是為要寬容你們。

我指着我的性命求告上帝作證，我沒有再往哥林多去是為了要寬容你們。

我指着我的性命求告神作證，我沒有再往哥林多去是為了要寬容你們。

我求上帝為我作證：我沒有去哥林多，是為了寬容你們。

我呼求神給我作證，我沒有再到哥林多來，是要寬容你們。

我指着我的性命呼求上帝作證，我沒有再往哥林多去、是顧惜你們。

我求告神為我的靈魂見證：我沒有再往哥林多去，是因為顧惜你們。

我籲上帝以我心作證、我不適哥林多者、寬容爾也、

我籲上帝鑒吾心、為不爾責、故不至哥林多、

吾呼天主為證、吾之所以未來格林多者、乃為爾等着想、不欲予爾等以難堪耳。

I call God as my witness— and I stake my life on it— that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

I call God to be my witness. May he take my life if I’m lying. I wanted to spare you, so I didn’t return to Corinth.

But I call God to witness against me— it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.

Now I call upon God as my witness that I am telling the truth. The reason I didn’t return to Corinth was to spare you from a severe rebuke.

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

But I call God as witness to my soul, that it was to spare you that I did not come again to Corinth.

Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.

Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

Now I appeal to God as my witness, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

天主、乃我於其子之福音一心奉事者、為我作證、我祈禱時、念爾不已、

我所書者、在天主前、我不言誑、

爾何所欲、欲我就爾以杖乎、抑欲我就爾以慈愛及溫柔之意乎、

我第二次與爾覿面時、已預言之、今與爾相離、復預言之、以書告彼曾犯罪者、及其餘之人云、我若復來、必不寛容、

今我與爾相離、故以此書達爾、使我與爾覿面時、不用嚴法、循主所賜我之權、此權主賜我、乃為建德、非為敗壞也、

我儕從未用諂諛之言、為爾所知、亦不貪婪藉故以求利、有天主為證、

爾曹既盡服、我已設備、將責諸違逆之人、○爾曹獨觀外貌乎、如有自視為屬基督者、則當復思、若彼屬基督、我亦屬基督、主賜我之權、以建爾、非以敗爾、我即因此多誇、亦無愧也、我言此、免爾曹以為我寄書驚爾、有人言、我書嚴厲、及至晤會時、身弱言陋、然彼當思、暌違之時、書言如何、則晤會之日、所行亦必若是、

此何故也、因我不愛爾乎、天主知之、

我體耶穌基督慈愛、深戀乎爾、此乃天主為我作證、

我恐來時、見爾不如我所望者、爾見我亦不如爾所望者、又恐爾中有分爭、媢嫉、忿怒、結黨、毀謗、隱刺、狂傲、混亂、

我主耶穌基督之父、永可頌之天主、知我不誑言、

我已決意再至爾所、必復無憂、若我使爾有憂、則我所使憂者之外、誰使我樂乎、我以此書達爾、免我至之時、當使我樂者、轉使我憂、蓋我深知爾眾以我之樂為己之樂、

付此人於撒但、以敗其身、使其靈魂、於主耶穌基督之日得救、○

且求爾勿使我就爾之時、亦有勇敢、蓋有人謂我乃按血氣而行者、我亦思必勇敢自信、毅然以待之、

我賴基督、言真而不誑、我內心感於聖神、為我作證、

其中有許米乃、亞力山德、我曾付之於撒但譴責之、使其不復毀謗、

天主誠信也、我指之而誓、我向爾所言者、無今是後非、
