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、

蓋我深知爾眾以我之樂為己之樂、

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.

我因主望爾、罔懷異志、但惑爾者、不論何人、必服其刑、

又遣一兄弟、屢試其殷勤、今彼大信爾曹、殷勤愈切、

我以書遺爾、知爾必悅從、亦知爾之所行、必倍於我之所言、

勿使我至時、上帝卑我、見眾犯罪、污穢淫行、邪侈、而不悔改、為吾憂也、吾將三次至爾、證以二三人之口、而言言有徵、吾先言而再言之、如與爾晤對、惟今暌違、故書達犯罪者、及眾人、余復至時、必不恕之、

始遺書使爾憂、向亦悔之、而無庸悔也、誠以此書、憂爾者暫耳、

我既知此、素欲就爾、令爾復獲益、

我因主望爾、爾素遵我命、必恆遵之、

爾何所欲、欲我至以杖叩爾乎、抑以柔惠之意撫爾乎、聞爾中淫亂、有烝其後母者、雖異邦、未之有也、猶妄自誇大、而不痛哭、使斁倫者、見擯於爾中、吾身雖遠、而神馳左右、若與爾同在、定擬犯此者、賴吾主耶穌基督名、俾爾曹會集、而吾神與爾相契、托吾主耶穌基督權、交彼與撒但、以苦其身、俾於吾主耶穌基督臨日、救其靈魂、爾未可自許、豈不知些須之酵、能發全團乎、故當舊酵盡淨、俾成新團、若除酵然、蓋吾之逾越羔基督為我見宰、勿以惡毒之舊酵、宜以誠實之無酵、守節期、吾以書遺爾、勿與淫者交、然我所謂淫、非概言世之行淫者、蓋貪婪、殘酷、拜偶像之徒、苟欲擯弗與交、必避世乃可、吾書遺爾、若既稱為兄弟、而淫亂、貪婪、拜偶像、詬誶、沉湎、殘酷、則勿與之交、亦勿與共食、會以外與我何與、顧定擬之、而會以內、乃不能定擬乎、蓋會以外、上帝定擬之、會以內有惡者、爾擯之、

吾書遺爾、非因虧人與受虧者、直欲明我慕爾在上帝前、

上帝慰慮患之人、以提多至慰我、

吾誇誠狂、緣爾不得已、爾當許我、我雖無才、不亞於至大使徒、
