蓋吾儕抵馬其頓時、險象環生、不遑寧息、外有鬥爭、內有憂怖；

我们从前就是到了马其顿的时候，身体也不得安宁，周围遭患难，外有争战，内有惧怕。

我们从前到了马其顿的时候，身体没有丝毫安宁，反而到处遭患难，外有纷争，内有惧怕。

實際上，我們以前到馬其頓省的時候，不但身體得不到安寧，也處處受患難，外有爭戰，內有懼怕。

我至馬其頓時、身無寧處、隨在遭難、外有爭、內有懼、

我素至馬其頓、身無寧處、屢遭顛沛、患生於外、懼存於中、

我昔至瑪其頓、身不得安、多遇困苦、外有爭戰、內有恐懼、

For when we came into Macedonia, we had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn— conflicts on the outside, fears within.

When we came to Macedonia, we weren’t able to rest. We were attacked no matter where we went. We had battles on the outside and fears on the inside.

For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn— fighting without and fear within.

惜當時吾因不遇兄弟提多、心中忐忑不寧、不得不辭別當地之人、而赴馬其頓。

彼為基督之臣僕乎？則恕我放肆、吾更是也。吾視若輩勞苦多矣、繫獄多次、受笞無數、且常處死地、屢遭不測、五次被鞭於猶太人、每次四十減一、三次受杖、一次石擊、三遭覆舟、飄於海中者一晝一夜、僕僕風塵、不遑寧息、時遭河汊之危、盜賊之難、邦人之厄、異域之苦、城市之驚、曠野之困、海洋之險、及偽兄弟之陷害：備嘗艱辛、終夜不寐、載飢載渴、時復齋戒、忍苦耐勞、寒而無衣。凡此猶屬外事、若諸會之事、尤為予所日日挂心者。孰餒而予不為之餒？孰蹶而予不為之焦心如焚？吾若欲誇、其惟自誇其弱歟！

蓋前書所云、亦不過欲借此測驗爾等之服從否耳。

兄弟乎、爾等非我在耶穌基督身上之光榮乎？吾敢憑斯光榮而誓曰：我實無日不處死地。

因此吾迫不及待、儘先遣人探訪、藉欲知爾信德、深恐誘人之物乘間誘爾、則我等之所為孳孳不倦者、盡付東流矣。

故吾人雖四面受迫而未陷絕境也；雖進退維谷、而未淪末路也；備受窘逐、而未為天主所棄也；飽嘗磨折、而未見消滅也；恆體耶穌之死、亦欲體耶穌之生也。蓋吾人雖有生、實無時不為耶穌而死、庶幾吾人血肉之軀、亦得載耶穌之生、而顯揚之耳。總之、吾人之死、亦所以促進爾等之生也。

我實為爾寒心深恐我於爾中所費之心神、皆屬徒勞耳。

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。

凡爾服勞負重之人、其咸來就我、我當與爾休息。爾其承我之軛、效我之謙遜克己、則爾必得心曠神怡；蓋吾軛飴、而吾任輕也。』

復自爾處前往馬其頓、再由馬其頓回至爾處、最後乃自爾處啟程、而赴猶太。當吾之存此意念也、決非以輕率出之、亦非徇於私情而定、其後又任意變更計劃、忽爾非其所是、是其所非也。

嗟爾小子、吾今重為爾曹受分娩之痛苦矣。非至基督成形於爾心中、吾之劬勞、寧有已時。恨不得即日與爾把晤、以不同之辭調、而作婉勸。爾中真相究屬如何、吾尚有未盡了然者也。

紛擾既息、葆樂召集信徒、勸勉而別；赴馬其頓、

予目前須赴馬其頓一行；此行既畢、當赴爾處。

蓋吾深恐爾我相見之時、爾不能副我之望、我亦不能副爾之望；又恐爾中有鬥爭、嫉妒、忿怒、樹黨、誹謗、隱刺、傲慢、紛亂等事；更恐吾來時、天主令我汗顏無地、蓋一見諸犯奸邪淫亂之徒、尚未幡然悔改、吾能不為之號咷大哭乎哉？
