Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

保罗论自己的职分

10 你们以为我在你们中间的时候很温和，不在你们中间的时候却很严厉。如今，我保罗以基督的谦卑和温柔亲自劝你们： 2 我去的时候，请不要逼我这样严厉地对待你们，我的严厉是用来对付那些说我凭血气行事的人。 3 因为我虽然活在血肉之躯里，但在属灵的争战上，却不是凭血气之勇。 4 我们争战的兵器不是属血气的，乃是从上帝而来的能力，可以摧毁坚固的营垒， 5 击破一切的谬论和阻碍人们认识上帝的骄傲言论，夺回被掳去的心思意念，使其顺服基督。 6 等你们完全顺服主后，我们就要惩罚那些叛逆的人。

7 你们只会看事情的表面。如果有人相信自己属于基督，他就应该再想一想，我们跟他一样也是属于基督的。 8 因为主赐给我们权柄是为了造就你们，不是为了毁坏你们，就算我为这权柄稍微夸口，也不会感到羞愧。 9 我不想你们认为我写信是要威吓你们。 10 因为有人说：“他信中的话有分量，很严厉，他本人却软弱无能，言语粗俗。” 11 说这话的人要留心：我们不在你们那里的时候，在信上怎么说，与你们见面时也会怎么做。

12 我们不敢和那些自我推荐的人相提并论！他们以自己的尺度衡量自己，自我比较，实在不明智！ 13 但我们并非漫无边际地夸口，而是在上帝为我们定下的范围之内夸口，你们也包括在这范围之内。 14 其实把你们包括在我们夸口的范围之内一点都不过分，因为我们曾把基督的福音传到你们那里。 15 我们没有超出范围拿别人辛劳的成果夸口，只盼望随着你们信心的增长，我们的范围也得到极大的扩展， 16 使我们可以把福音传到你们以外的地方，而不是在别人的工作范围内拿别人的成就夸口。 17 “要夸耀，就当夸耀主的作为。” 18 因为，蒙悦纳的是主所称许的人，而不是自我称许的人。

7 你們只會看事情的表面。如果有人相信自己屬於基督，他就應該再想一想，我們跟他一樣也是屬於基督的。 8 因為主賜給我們權柄是為了造就你們，不是為了毀壞你們，就算我為這權柄稍微誇口，也不會感到羞愧。 9 我不想你們認為我寫信是要威嚇你們。 10 因為有人說：「他信中的話有分量，很嚴厲，他本人卻軟弱無能，言語粗俗。」 11 說這話的人要留心：我們不在你們那裡的時候，在信上怎麼說，與你們見面時也會怎麼做。

12 我們不敢和那些自我推薦的人相提並論！他們以自己的尺度衡量自己，自我比較，實在不明智！ 13 但我們並非漫無邊際地誇口，而是在上帝為我們定下的範圍之內誇口，你們也包括在這範圍之內。 14 其實把你們包括在我們誇口的範圍之內一點都不過分，因為我們曾把基督的福音傳到你們那裡。 15 我們沒有超出範圍拿別人辛勞的成果誇口，只盼望隨著你們信心的增長，我們的範圍也得到極大的擴展， 16 使我們可以把福音傳到你們以外的地方，而不是在別人的工作範圍內拿別人的成就誇口。 17 「要誇耀，就當誇耀主的作為。」 18 因為，蒙悅納的是主所稱許的人，而不是自我稱許的人。

2 Corinthians 10
New English Translation

Paul’s Authority from the Lord

10 Now I, Paul, appeal to you[a] personally[b] by the meekness and gentleness[c] of Christ (I who am meek[d] when present among[e] you, but am full of courage[f] toward you when away!)— 2 now I ask that when I am present I may not have to be bold with the confidence that (I expect) I will dare to use against some who consider us to be behaving[g] according to human standards.[h] 3 For though we live[i] as human beings,[j] we do not wage war according to human standards,[k] 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons,[l] but are made powerful by God[m] for tearing down strongholds.[n] We tear down arguments[o] 5 and every arrogant obstacle[p] that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey[q] Christ. 6 We are also ready to punish every act of disobedience,[r] whenever your obedience is complete. 7 You are looking at outward appearances.[s] If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we. 8 For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us[t] for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so.[u] 9 I do not want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters, 10 because some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak[v] and his speech is of no account.”[w] 11 Let such a person consider this: What we say[x] by letters when we are absent, we also are in actions when we are present.

Paul’s Mission

12 For we would not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who recommend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.[y] 13 But we will not boast beyond certain limits,[z] but will confine our boasting[aa] according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us,[ab] that reaches even as far as you. 14 For we were not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach as far as you, because we were the first to reach as far as you with the gospel about Christ.[ac] 15 Nor do we boast beyond certain limits[ad] in the work[ae] done by others, but we hope[af] that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded[ag] among you according to our limits,[ah] 16 so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area. 17 But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.[ai] 18 For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Corinthians 10:1 tn The Greek pronoun (“you”) is plural.
  2. 2 Corinthians 10:1 tn The word “personally” is supplied to reflect the force of the Greek intensive pronoun αὐτός (autos) at the beginning of the verse.
  3. 2 Corinthians 10:1 tn Or “leniency and clemency.” D. Walker, “Paul’s Offer of Leniency of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:1): Populist Ideology and Rhetoric in a Pauline Letter Fragment (2 Cor 10:1-13:10)” (Ph.D. diss., University of Chicago, 1998), argues for this alternative translation for three main reasons: (1) When the two Greek nouns πραΰτης and ἐπιείκεια (prautēs and epieikeia) are used together, 90% of the time the nuance is “leniency and clemency.” (2) “Leniency and clemency” has a military connotation, which is precisely what appears in the following verses. (3) 2 Cor 10-13 speaks of Paul’s sparing use of his authority, which points to the nuance of “leniency and clemency.”
  4. 2 Corinthians 10:1 tn Or “who lack confidence.”
  5. 2 Corinthians 10:1 tn Or “when face-to-face with.”
  6. 2 Corinthians 10:1 tn Or “but bold.”
  7. 2 Corinthians 10:2 tn Grk “consider us as walking.”
  8. 2 Corinthians 10:2 tn Grk “according to the flesh.”
  9. 2 Corinthians 10:3 tn Grk “we walk.”
  10. 2 Corinthians 10:3 tn Grk “in the flesh.”
  11. 2 Corinthians 10:3 tn Grk “according to the flesh.”
  12. 2 Corinthians 10:4 tn Grk “are not fleshly [weapons].” The repetition of the word “warfare” does not occur in the Greek text, but is supplied for clarity.
  13. 2 Corinthians 10:4 tn Or “but (are) divinely powerful,” “but they have divine power,” or “but are powerful for God’s [service]”; Grk “but are powerful to God.”
  14. 2 Corinthians 10:4 sn Ultimately Paul is referring here to the false arguments of his opponents, calling them figuratively “strongholds.” This Greek word (ὀχύρωμα, ochurōma) is used only here in the NT.
  15. 2 Corinthians 10:4 tn Or “speculations.”
  16. 2 Corinthians 10:5 tn The phrase “every arrogant obstacle” could be translated simply “all arrogance” (so L&N 88.207).
  17. 2 Corinthians 10:5 tn Grk “to the obedience of Christ,” but since Χριστοῦ (Christou) is clearly an objective genitive here, it is better to translate “to make it obey Christ.”
  18. 2 Corinthians 10:6 tn Or “punish all disobedience.”
  19. 2 Corinthians 10:7 tn The phrase is close to a recognized idiom for judging based on outward appearances (L&N 30.120). Some translators see a distinction, however, and translate 2 Cor 10:7a as “Look at what is in front of your eyes,” that is, the obvious facts of the case (so NRSV).
  20. 2 Corinthians 10:8 tn The word “us” is not in the Greek text but is supplied. Indirect objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, and must be supplied for the modern English reader.
  21. 2 Corinthians 10:8 tn Grk “I will not be put to shame,” “I will not be ashamed.” The words “of doing so” are supplied to clarify for the reader that Paul will not be ashamed of boasting somewhat more about the authority the Lord gave him (beginning of v. 8).
  22. 2 Corinthians 10:10 tn Or “unimpressive.”
  23. 2 Corinthians 10:10 tn Or “is contemptible”; Grk “is despised.”
  24. 2 Corinthians 10:11 tn Grk “what we are in word.”
  25. 2 Corinthians 10:12 tn Or “they are unintelligent.”
  26. 2 Corinthians 10:13 tn Or “boast excessively.” The phrase εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα (eis ta ametra) is an idiom; literally it means “into that which is not measured,” that is, a point on a scale that goes beyond what might be expected (L&N 78.27).
  27. 2 Corinthians 10:13 tn The words “will confine our boasting” are not in the Greek text, but the reference to boasting must be repeated from the previous clause to clarify for the modern reader what is being limited.
  28. 2 Corinthians 10:13 tn Grk “according to the measure of the rule which God has apportioned to us as a measure”; for the translation used in the text see L&N 37.100.
  29. 2 Corinthians 10:14 tn Grk “with the gospel of Christ,” but since Χριστοῦ (Christou) is clearly an objective genitive here, it is better to translate “with the gospel about Christ.”
  30. 2 Corinthians 10:15 tn Or “boast excessively.” The phrase εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα (eis ta ametra) is an idiom; literally it means “into that which is not measured,” that is, a point on a scale that goes beyond what might be expected (L&N 78.27).
  31. 2 Corinthians 10:15 tn Or “in the labors.”
  32. 2 Corinthians 10:15 tn Grk “but we have the hope.”
  33. 2 Corinthians 10:15 tn Or “greatly enlarged.”
  34. 2 Corinthians 10:15 tn That is, Paul’s work might be greatly expanded within the area of activity assigned to him by God.
  35. 2 Corinthians 10:17 tn The traditional translation (“let the one who boasts boast in the Lord”) can be understood as merely permissive by the English reader, but the Greek verb καυχάσθω (kauchasthō) is a third person imperative.sn A quotation from Jer 9:24 (also quoted in 1 Cor 1:31).
