罷了！我沒有拖累着你們，我卻是『乖性狡猾，用詭詐牢籠你們的』！

罢了，我自己并没有累着你们，你们却有人说，我是诡诈，用心计牢笼你们。

罢了，我自己并没有连累你们，你们却有人说，我施诡诈，用心计牢笼你们。

罢了，我自己并没有连累你们，你们却有人说，我施诡诈，用心计牢笼你们。

算了！我没有拖累过你们，但居然有人说我狡猾，用诡计骗你们。

算了！我没有成为你们的重担，却是个狡猾的人，用诡计牢笼你们。

不过就算如此，我也没有成为你们的负担——难道我是狡猾的人，用诡计牢笼了你们吗？

罷了，我自己並沒有累着你們，你們卻有人說，我是詭詐，用心計牢籠你們。

罷了，我自己並沒有連累你們，你們卻有人說，我施詭詐，用心計牢籠你們。

罷了，我自己並沒有連累你們，你們卻有人說，我施詭詐，用心計牢籠你們。

算了！我沒有拖累過你們，但居然有人說我狡猾，用詭計騙你們。

算了！我沒有成為你們的重擔，卻是個狡猾的人，用詭計牢籠你們。

不過就算如此，我也沒有成為你們的負擔——難道我是狡猾的人，用詭計牢籠了你們嗎？

或云我雖不累爾、而以詭計取爾、

有謗我者、言雖不累爾、而以詭計取爾、

或有人云、我雖不累爾、乃為狡詐之人、以計取爾、

或曰：正惟彼不累爾、彼蓋矯情以取信、將間接貽爾以大累耳。

Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!

In any case, I haven’t caused you any expense. But I’m so tricky! I have caught you by tricking you! Or so you think!

But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit.

Some of you admit I was not a burden to you. But others still think I was sneaky and took advantage of you by trickery.

Now granted, I did not burden you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!

But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, devious person that I am, I took you in by deceit.

But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!

But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

Now granted, I have not burdened you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!

But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

But be that as it may, I have not burdened you. Yet because I was a crafty person, I took you in by deceit!

Even so, I myself didn’t burden you.“ But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.”

我們所誇耀的是這一點：我們良知的明證指出我們在世界上之起居為人、是怎樣本着上帝所賜的聖善和純潔，不是本着屬肉體的智慧，乃是本着上帝的恩；對於你們、更是如此。

我在你們那裏有缺乏時，並沒有累着你們一個人；因為我的缺乏、從馬其頓來的弟兄都補足了。我向來凡事自守、不連累你們，將來也必自守。我指着在我裏面的基督之真誠來說！這誇口、在亞該亞地帶、是不會在我身上被堵住的。

除了我本人不連累你們這一件事以外，你們還有甚麼被壓下、以致不如其餘的教會呢？這個委屈、你們饒恕我吧！

我們從沒用過諂媚的話，你們知道；也沒有用過貪婪的掩飾，上帝可以作證。

我們的勸勉不是出於謬妄，不是出於污穢，也不是用詭詐，

卻拒絕了可恥的隱密事，不行於狡猾，也不混淆上帝之道，只將真理顯揚出來，在上帝面前、把自己推薦與各人的良知。

你們心裏讓地位給我們吧。我們沒有冤枉誰，沒有敗壞誰，沒有佔過誰的便宜。

因為你們確已嘗過主是多麼好滋味的。
