所以，雖然我從前寫信給你們，卻不是為那虧負人的，也不是為那受人虧負的，而是要在神面前把你們顧念我們的熱忱表現出來。

我虽然从前写信给你们，却不是为那亏负人的，也不是为那受人亏负的，乃要在神面前把你们顾念我们的热心表明出来。

所以，虽然我从前写信给你们，却不是为那亏负人的，也不是为那受人亏负的，而是要在神面前把你们顾念我们的热忱表现出来。

因此，虽然我给你们写过信，但并非为了那犯错的人或那受害的人而写的，而是为了让你们在上帝面前看到自己对我们所存的热心。

因此，从前我虽然写过信给你们，却不是为了那亏负人的，也不是为了那受害的，而是在神面前把你们对我们的热情，向你们显现出来。

我雖然從前寫信給你們，卻不是為那虧負人的，也不是為那受人虧負的，乃要在神面前把你們顧念我們的熱心表明出來。

所以，雖然我從前寫信給你們，卻不是為那虧負人的，也不是為那受人虧負的，而是要在上帝面前把你們顧念我們的熱忱表現出來。

我雖以書遺爾、非因枉人者、亦非因枉於人者、惟令爾為我之慇懃顯於爾中、在上帝前、

吾書遺爾、非因虧人與受虧者、直欲明我慕爾在上帝前、

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、

夫吾之所以寓書於爾等者、固非為彼作惡者之故、亦非為被害者之故、惟欲在天主明鑒之下、測驗爾等對於吾儕之誠意云耳。

So even though I wrote to you, it was neither on account of the one who did the wrong nor on account of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are.

So even though I wrote to you, it wasn’t because of the one who did the wrong. It wasn’t because of the one who was hurt either. Instead, I wrote you so that in the sight of God you could see for yourselves how faithful you are to us.

So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the one who did the wrong, nor for the sake of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your earnestness for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.

My purpose, then, was not to write about who did the wrong or who was wronged. I wrote to you so that in the sight of God you could see for yourselves how loyal you are to us.

So even though I wrote to you, it was not because of the one who did wrong, or because of the one who was wronged, but in order that your devotion to us might be made plain to you in the sight of God.

So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness in our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.

Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

So although I wrote unto you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.

So even though I wrote to you, it was not because of the one who did wrong, or because of the one who was wronged, but in order that your diligence for us might be made plain to you in the sight of God.

Wherefore, though I wrote unto you,[ I did it] not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

So then, even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong, or on account of the one who was wronged, but to reveal to you your eagerness on our behalf before God.

So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.

為此，我先前也寫信給你們，正是要考驗你們，看你們是否在一切事上都順從我。

為甚麼呢？是因我不愛你們嗎？神知道，我愛你們！

除了這些外表的事以外，我還有為眾教會操心的事天天壓在我身上。

我們不像許多人，把神的道當商品販賣，而是由於真誠，而是受命於神，在神面前憑着基督講道。

人若不知道管理自己的家，怎能照管神的教會呢？

即使我先前那封信使你們憂愁，後來我曾懊悔，如今卻不懊悔；因為我知道，那封信使你們憂愁，不過是暫時的。

我曾把這事寫給你們，免得我到的時候，那該令我喜樂的人反倒令我悲傷。我也深信，你們眾人都以我的喜樂為自己的喜樂。我先前憂心忡忡、眼淚汪汪地給你們寫了信，並非要使你們悲傷，而是要你們知道我格外疼愛你們。

我確實聽說在你們中間有淫亂的事；這種淫亂連外邦人中也沒有，就是有人和他的繼母同居。你們還自高自大！你們不是該覺得痛心，把做這事的人從你們中間趕出去嗎？
