For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and you may not find me to be what you want. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, angry outbursts, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

我怕我再来的时候，见你们不合我所想望的，你们见我也不合你们所想望的；又怕有纷争、嫉妒、恼怒、结党、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、混乱的事。

我怕我来的时候，见你们不如我所想的，你们见我也不如你们所想的。又怕有纷争、嫉妒、恼怒、自私、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、混乱的事。

其实我担心，恐怕我来到的时候会发现你们不像我所希望的那样，而你们发现我也不像你们所希望的那样；又恐怕有纷争、嫉妒、暴怒、争竞、诽谤、谗言、自大和混乱；

我怕我再來的時候，見你們不合我所想望的，你們見我也不合你們所想望的；又怕有紛爭、嫉妒、惱怒、結黨、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、混亂的事。

For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

I’m afraid that when I come I won’t find you as I want you to be. I’m afraid that you won’t find me as you want me to be. I’m afraid there will be arguing, jealousy and fits of anger. I’m afraid each of you will focus only on getting ahead. Then you will tell lies about each other. You will talk about each other. I’m afraid you will be proud and cause trouble.

For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish— that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish, and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, selfishness, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means there should be strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and[ that] I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest[ there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me not what you wish. I am afraid that somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,

They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers and sisters, by members of Chloe’s people, that there is rivalry among you.

Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

All who hate me whisper together about me; they plan to harm me.

We rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray that you become fully mature.This is why I am writing these things while absent, so that when I am there I may not have to deal harshly with you, in keeping with the authority the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying:“ Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be arrogant, favoring one person over another.For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you didn’t receive? If, in fact, you did receive it, why do you boast as if you hadn’t received it?You are already full! You are already rich! You have begun to reign as kings without us— and I wish you did reign, so that we could also reign with you!

I call on God as a witness, on my life, that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth.I do not mean that we lord it over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in your faith.In fact, I made up my mind about this: I would not come to you on another painful visit.For if I cause you pain, then who will cheer me other than the one being hurt by me?I wrote this very thing so that when I came I wouldn’t have pain from those who ought to give me joy, because I am confident about all of you that my joy will also be yours.For I wrote to you with many tears out of an extremely troubled and anguished heart— not to cause you pain, but that you should know the abundant love I have for you.

since God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

Now some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk, but the power of those who are arrogant.For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

As it is, to have legal disputes against one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?Instead, you yourselves do wrong and cheat— and you do this to brothers and sisters!

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things— as I warned you before— that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice.And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and deny the truth.Such wisdom does not come down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.

Even though I am absent in the body, I am present in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who has been doing such a thing.When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,hand that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

because you are still worldly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans?For whenever someone says,“ I belong to Paul,” and another,“ I belong to Apollos,” are you not acting like mere humans?

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war within you?You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and wage war. You do not have because you do not ask.You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.You adulterous people! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the friend of the world becomes the enemy of God.Or do you think it’s without reason that the Scripture says: The spirit he made to dwell in us envies intensely?

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

For if I boast a little too much about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be put to shame.I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.

I beg you that when I am present I will not need to be bold with the confidence by which I plan to challenge certain people who think we are living according to the flesh.

A contrary person spreads conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.

If anyone wants to argue about this, we have no other custom, nor do the churches of God.Now in giving this instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.Indeed, it is necessary that there be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

These people are discontented grumblers, living according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.

And we are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

I fear that when I come my God will again humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented of the moral impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality they practiced.

For by uttering boastful, empty words, they seduce, with fleshly desires and debauchery, people who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

Or did the word of God originate from you, or did it come to you only?If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

I gave a warning when I was present the second time, and now I give a warning while I am absent to those who sinned before and to all the rest: If I come again, I will not be lenient,
