非第因其至、亦因其所受於爾之慰慰我、即以爾之戀慕憂傷、及為我熱衷告我、令我益喜、

and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.

We were comforted not only when he came but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us how much you longed for me. He told us about your deep sadness and concern for me. That made my joy greater than ever.

and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

His presence was a joy, but so was the news he brought of the encouragement he received from you. When he told us how much you long to see me, and how sorry you are for what happened, and how loyal you are to me, I was filled with joy!

and not only by his arrival but also by the comfort he received from you. He told us about your deep longing, your sorrow, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

為此，我也曾寫信給你們，想知道你們是否凡事順服。

耶和華啊，我落在苦難之中，求你憐憫我，我雙眼哭腫，身心疲憊。我的生命被愁苦吞噬，歲月被哀傷耗盡，力量因罪惡而消逝，我成了枯骨一堆。仇敵羞辱我，鄰居厭棄我，朋友害怕我，路人紛紛躲避我。

我曾為這事寫信給你們，免得我到你們那裡時，那些本該使我喜樂的人反而使我憂傷。我也深信你們會以我的喜樂為你們的喜樂。我萬分難過、淚流滿面地給你們寫了前一封信，並非要使你們憂傷，而是要你們明白我是多麼疼愛你們。

親愛的弟兄姊妹，我一直迫切地想寫信跟你們談談我們所共享的救恩，但現在我覺得有必要寫信勸勉你們竭力護衛一次就完整地交給聖徒的真道。

合乎上帝心意的憂傷會帶來悔改，使人得到救恩，永不後悔，但世俗的憂傷只會帶來死亡。你們看，合乎上帝心意的憂傷使你們產生了何等的迫切感啊！你們熱切地辯明自己的立場，對罪憤慨，恐懼顫抖，期盼與我相見，嫉惡如仇，懲處罪惡。你們在各方面已顯明自己在那件事上是清白的。

彼得想起耶穌說的話：「在雞叫以前，你會三次不認我。」他就跑出去，失聲痛哭。

哀慟的人有福了，因為他們必得安慰。

不要責備嘲諷者，免得他恨你；要責備智者，他必愛你。教導智者，他就更有智慧；指教義人，他就更有見識。

感謝上帝！祂感動了提多的心，使他像我一樣熱誠地關懷你們。

祂心中極其悲痛，禱告更懇切，汗珠如血滴在地上。

得知你們靠著主堅定不移，我們現在感到振奮。

他到達後，看見上帝所賜的恩典，就萬分高興，勸勉他們要全心地忠於主。

你們要悲傷、憂愁、痛哭，轉歡笑為悲哀，變歡樂為愁苦。你們要在主面前謙卑，祂必擢升你們。

以色列人聽了耶和華的天使說的話，就放聲大哭，他們稱那地方為波金，在那裡向耶和華獻祭。

也可以說是藉著我們彼此的信心互相激勵。

我殷切地期待和盼望：我不會感到任何羞愧，而是放膽無懼，不管是生是死，都要一如既往地使基督在我身上得到尊崇。

因為祂的怒氣瞬間消逝，祂的恩惠卻持續一生。我們雖然整夜哭泣，早晨必定歡呼。

我們在這地上的「帳篷」裡歎息，渴望早日遷進那天上的「房屋」，好像更換衣服一樣。

我要承認我的罪過，罪惡使我心裡惴惴不安。

含淚撒種的必歡呼著收割。含淚出去撒種的必歡呼著帶回禾捆。

上帝啊，求你憐憫我，因為你的慈愛永不改變；求你除去我的過犯，因為你有無限的憐憫。

現在，提摩太剛從你們那裡回來，把有關你們信心和愛心的好消息告訴了我們。他說你們常常思念我們，很想見到我們，就像我們渴望見到你們一樣。

我情願受義人出於愛心的責打，他們的責打是良藥，我不會逃避。我要不斷地用禱告抵擋惡人的行徑。

以利亞先知和我們一樣同是血肉之軀，他懇切地祈求不要下雨，結果三年半沒有下雨。

耶和華啊，求你不要在怒中責備我，不要在烈怒中懲罰我。耶和華啊，求你憐憫，因為我軟弱無力。耶和華啊，求你醫治，因為我痛徹入骨。我心中憂傷，耶和華啊，你要我憂傷到何時呢？耶和華啊，求你回來救我，因你的慈愛而拯救我。因為死去的人不會記得你，誰會在陰間讚美你呢？我因哀歎心力交瘁，夜夜哭泣，淚漂床榻，濕透被褥。

我聽見以法蓮在為自己悲歎，『我們就像未經馴服的牛犢，你管教我們，使我們順服，求你使我們回到你身邊，重新復興，因為你是我們的上帝耶和華。我們曾經離開你，但我們後悔了；我們醒悟之後捶胸頓足，痛悔不已，因早年的所作所為而羞愧難當。』」耶和華說：「以法蓮不是我的愛子嗎？他不是我喜悅的孩子嗎？我雖然常常責備他，但仍然惦記著他。我深深地想念他，我必憐憫他。

因此，我們必須更加重視所聽的道，以免隨流漂去。

現在，我人雖不在你們那裡，心卻和你們在一起，看到你們生活井然有序，對基督堅信不移，我很喜樂。
