蓋曩者吾曾誇爾等之美於提多之前矣；爾等實未使我抱愧也。然則吾儕所誇耀於提多之前者、皆真實不虛、正如吾儕向爾等所直言不諱者、亦皆真實不虛也。

我若对提多夸奖了你们什么，也觉得没有惭愧；因我对提多夸奖你们的话成了真的，正如我对你们所说的话也都是真的。

我若对提多夸奖过你们什么，也不觉得惭愧，因为我对提多夸奖你们的话是真的，正如我对你们所说的话也向来都是真的。

我若对提多夸奖过你们什么，也不觉得惭愧，因为我对提多夸奖你们的话是真的，正如我对你们所说的话也向来都是真的。

我若对他夸奖过你们什么，也不觉得惭愧。我们对你们所说的是真话，照样，我们在提多面前夸奖你们的也是真的。

原来，即使我向提多夸耀过你们什么，我也不至于蒙羞；其实就像我们对你们所讲的一切都是真实的，照样我们向提多所夸耀你们的也是真实的；

我若對提多誇獎了你們甚麼，也覺得沒有慚愧；因我對提多誇獎你們的話成了真的，正如我對你們所說的話也都是真的。

我若對提多誇獎過你們甚麼，也不覺得慚愧，因為我對提多誇獎你們的話是真的，正如我對你們所說的話也向來都是真的。

我若對他誇獎過你們甚麼，也不覺得慚愧。我們對你們所說的是真話，照樣，我們在提多面前誇獎你們的也是真的。

我從前就是對他誇獎你們甚麼，也不覺得慚愧。不，我們怎樣真真實實將一切事對你們說了，我們對提多所誇獎你們的也怎樣見得是真實。

原來，即使我向提多誇耀過你們什麼，我也不至於蒙羞；其實就像我們對你們所講的一切都是真實的，照樣我們向提多所誇耀你們的也是真實的；

我誇爾於提多者、今無愧矣、我嘗語爾者悉真、誇爾於彼者亦真、

吾素讚爾、今無愧矣、我語爾者真、讚爾於提多亦真、

我曾於提多前為爾而誇、今無愧矣、我素告爾之言皆真、於提多前所誇者亦真、

I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well.

I had bragged about you to him. And you have not let me down. Everything we said to you was true. In the same way, our bragging about you to Titus has also turned out to be true.

For whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you was true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true.

I had told him how proud I was of you— and you didn’t disappoint me. I have always told you the truth, and now my boasting to Titus has also proved true!

For if I have made any boast to him about you, I have not been disappointed; but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, so our boasting to Titus has also turned out to be the truth.

For if I have boasted to him about you regarding anything, I was not put to shame. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.

For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

For if I have made any boast to him about you, I have not been embarrassed; but as I have spoken everything to you in truth, so our boasting to Titus has also turned out to be the truth.

For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which[ I made] before Titus, is found a truth.

For if I have boasted to him about anything concerning you, I have not been embarrassed by you, but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has proved true as well.

For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

是故極望爾等善遇之、以發揚爾等之愛德、而證吾儕所誇耀於爾等者之非子虛、亦所以副諸聖會之盛意耳。

吾對爾等、知無不言、言無不盡。蓋吾於爾等實堪自矜、因而吾儕神慰充沛、雖在患難、心中自有至樂。

惟矜寡恤謙之天主藉提多之來、以寬慰吾儕之心；

蓋吾深知爾等急公好義、且予曾以此誇獎爾等於馬其頓人曰：『亞該亞於一年前已發此心。』此間人士、為爾等之熱心所激發者、亦復不少。吾今之所以先派兄弟者、亦欲爾等有備、庶幾吾所誇獎爾等之事、不成子虛烏有；萬一馬其頓人與吾偕來時、見爾等無所準備、則不但爾等、即吾儕亦將汗顏無地矣！

且爾等於重重困辱憂患之中、仍能堅忍不拔、篤信不移、此尤為吾儕之所誇耀於天主眾會者也。

至誠天主、實鑒吾誠。凡吾儕向爾等所許之言、皆非模棱兩可、而徘徊於是非之間者也。蓋吾與西拉蒂茂德所傳於爾等之天主聖子、耶穌基督、固非『亦是亦非』者、乃惟一是而已矣。故無論天主之恩諾為如何多且盛也、惟在耶穌身上、則皆實事求是、無絲毫之虛妄；而吾人之所以能心悅誠服、歸榮於天主、而應『心焉祝之』者、亦憑耶穌而已矣。

吾雖稍誇吾儕之權力、亦不致有愧；惟此權力、係主所授以輔爾成立、非以致爾傾毀也。
