I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

我说这话，不是吩咐你们，乃是藉着别人的热心试验你们爱心的实在。

我说这话，并不是命令你们，而是藉着别人的热忱来考验你们爱心的真诚。

我说这话并非命令你们，而是借着别人的热心考验一下你们爱心的真伪。

我这样说，不是吩咐你们，而是藉着别人的热心来考验你们的爱心是否真实。

我说这话不是出于命令，而是要藉着别人的殷勤来考验你们爱的真诚，

我說這話，不是吩咐你們，乃是藉着別人的熱心試驗你們愛心的實在。

我說這話，並不是命令你們，而是藉着別人的熱忱來考驗你們愛心的真誠。

我說這話並非命令你們，而是藉著別人的熱心考驗一下你們愛心的真偽。

我這樣說，不是吩咐你們，而是藉著別人的熱心來考驗你們的愛心是否真實。

我這不是當命令說的，我乃是要藉着別人的熱切來試驗你們的愛心是不是真的罷了。

我言此、非命爾、乃藉他人之懃懇、驗爾仁愛之實、

吾非以此命爾、乃因他人殷勤、欲試爾仁愛之實、

我言此、非命爾、乃因他人之殷勤、欲試爾仁愛之實、

吾作此言、非命令也、乃欲藉他人之熱情、一測爾等愛德之深淺耳。

I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

I am not commanding you to do it. But I want to test you. I want to find out if you really love God. I want to compare your love with that of others.

I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

I am not commanding you to do this. But I am testing how genuine your love is by comparing it with the eagerness of the other churches.

I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.

I am not saying this as a command, but as proving, through the earnestness of others, the sincerity of your love as well.

I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.

I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;

Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but do them not; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their gain.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.

Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.

And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:

Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah.
