昔特書此、恐我來時所當使我樂者、反令我憂、蓋我深信爾眾以我樂為樂也、

昔我以書達爾、恐來時所當使我樂者、轉令我憂耳、蓋我樂即爾樂、吾知之素矣、

此點吾在前書中亦曾提及、以免吾來之時、應使我歡欣鼓舞者、反貽我以憂戚耳。且吾固深信爾等莫不以吾之樂為樂也。

I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy.

What I wrote to you I wrote for a special reason. When I came, I didn’t want to be troubled by those who should make me glad. I was sure that all of you would share my joy.

And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all.

That is why I wrote to you as I did, so that when I do come, I won’t be grieved by the very ones who ought to give me the greatest joy. Surely you all know that my joy comes from your being joyful.

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.

我因主而信爾不懷異心、但擾爾者不論何人、必受其刑、

又遣一弟同往、我於諸事、屢試之而知其殷勤、今彼甚信爾、故殷勤更切、

我書此達爾、深信爾必悅從、亦知爾之所行、必過於我之所言、

又恐我復來時、我天主使我於爾中慚愧、且見多人已犯罪、而未悔其所行之污穢、姦淫、邪侈、我則甚憂、此第三次、我將就爾、經云、憑二三人之口為證、言乃有定、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、

昔我以書達爾、因知此書致爾憂、雖使爾暫憂、我初悔之、今則不悔矣、

我既確然知此、素欲就爾、使爾再得益、

我儕賴主信爾、今必遵行我所命爾者、後亦必遵行、

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、聞爾中有淫亂、有佔父之繼室者、若是之淫亂、即異邦人中、亦未之有也、爾猶妄自誇大、而不痛哭、使行此者、見除於爾中、我身雖遠、而神偕爾、如我與爾同在、已擬定行此事之人、即爾會集之時、我神亦偕爾、奉我主耶穌基督之名、託我主耶穌基督之權、付此人於撒但、以敗其身、使其靈魂、於主耶穌基督之日得救、○爾之自誇、非善也、豈不知些須之酵、能發全團乎、故當除盡舊酵、俾成新團、因爾曹乃如無酵之餅、蓋我儕亦有逾越節羔、為我儕見宰者、即基督也、是以當守我節、不以舊酵、不以暴很惡毒之酵、乃以真正誠實之無酵、我曾以書達爾、勸勿與行淫者交、我言非概指此世之行淫者、或貪婪者、勒索者、拜偶像者、若然、則爾必須離世矣、我今致書勸爾、若有稱為兄弟者而行淫、或貪婪、或拜偶像、或詬詈、或醉酒、或勒索、如此之人、勿與之交、勿與之共食、蓋教會外者、我何為擬定之、爾當擬定者、非教會內之人乎、教會外者、天主擬定之、惟爾曹當以惡除於爾中、

昔我以書達爾、非為彼虧負人者、亦非為彼受人虧負者、乃欲在天主前、以我顧爾之熱心、明示於爾、

惟天主慰卑微之人、以提多之來慰我、

我自誇而為狂、乃爾使我不得已、蓋爾原當稱譽我、我雖如無有、凡事不亞於至大之使徒、
