我言此、免似以書驚爾、

蓋余不欲以書驚爾、

予作此言、庶免書面威脅之嫌。

I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters.

Don’t think that I’m trying to scare you with my letters.

I do not want to appear to be frightening you with my letters.

I’m not trying to frighten you by my letters.

I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.

lest I seem to terrify you by letters.

that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.

因為有人說：「保羅的書信又嚴厲又強硬，但他親身在的時候卻是軟弱的人，他的言語也被藐視。」

但如果主願意，我不久就會到你們那裡去；那時候，我所要知道的不是那些自我膨脹之人的話語，而是他們的權能，因為神的國不在於話語，而在於權能。你們要什麼呢？要我帶著權杖，還是要我帶著愛和溫柔的心靈到你們那裡去呢？

所以時候沒有到，在主來臨之前，不要評斷任何事；主將照亮黑暗中隱祕的事，顯明人心裡的計劃。那時候，稱讚將從神那裡臨到各人。
