昔我哀痛迫切、不勝涕泣、以書遺爾、非令爾憂、乃使爾知我愛爾甚也、○

For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

I was very troubled when I wrote to you. My heart was sad. My eyes were full of tears. I didn’t want to make you sad. I wanted to let you know that I love you very deeply.

For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

I wrote that letter in great anguish, with a troubled heart and many tears. I didn’t want to grieve you, but I wanted to let you know how much love I have for you.

所以我雖然寫信給你們，卻不是為那冤枉人的，也不是為那受冤枉的，無非是要把你們因顧念我們而表示的熱切、在上帝面前向你們指明出來罷了。

顯露的勸責好過隱藏的愛。愛友加的創傷、出於忠誠；仇恨者連連親嘴、多而且詐。

你們要聽，要側耳以聽；不要驕傲；因為是永恆主說的。永恆主你們的上帝還未使黑暗來到，你們的腳還未在昏暗山上碰跌之先，當你們盼望有光之時，他使光變為漆黑，使光成為幽暗之先，你們要承認榮耀屬於永恆主你們的上帝。你們若不聽，我必因你們的驕傲而在暗地裏哭泣；我的眼必痛哭流淚，因為永恆主的羣羊被擄了去。

論到我嘛、我頂喜歡地為你們開費，以至於費盡了我自己。是不是我越發愛你們，就該越發少得你們的愛呢？

先前呢、我雖由書信而讓你們憂愁，後來就說是後悔罷，如今也不後悔了。我看那書信實在讓你們憂愁了，卻不過是暫時的。如今我歡喜，倒不是因為你們憂愁，乃是因為你們憂愁到懊悔。你們依順着上帝而憂愁，就不至於在甚麼事上因我們而有所虧損了。

因為有許多人、就是我屢次告訴你們、如今竟流着眼淚告訴你們的：他們的行事為人、就是基督十字架的仇敵。

臨近的時候，耶穌看見那城，就為它哭泣說：『巴不得連你也在這日子知道那關於你平安之事哦；無奈已被隱藏、使你的眼看不出來了。因為日子必臨到你，你的仇敵必給你環築起土壘來，周圍環繞你，四面困住你，摔毁你和你裏面你那些兒女，不容你裏面有一塊石頭留在一塊石頭上；因為你認不出你被鑒察的時機。』

我以上帝的妒愛妒愛你們，把你們許配了一位獨一的丈夫，好把你們做貞潔的童女獻與基督。

我怎樣地大有憂愁、心裏不住的傷痛。為我弟兄、我骨肉之親、我巴不得被革除、和基督隔絕呢！

我的眼直流着淚水河，因為人們不遵守你的律法。

『不可心裏恨你的族弟兄；總要指責你的同伴，免得你因他而擔當罪罰。不可報仇，也不可懷恨你本國的子民，要愛你的鄰舍如同你自己：我是永恆主。
