哥林多后书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 奉 神旨意作基督耶穌使徒的保羅，和提摩太弟兄，寫信給在哥林多 神的教會，和全亞該亞所有的聖徒。 2 願恩惠平安從我們的父 神和主耶穌基督臨到你們。
患難中 神賜安慰
3 我們主耶穌基督的父 神是應當稱頌的。他是滿有憐憫的父，賜各樣安慰的 神。 4 我們在一切患難中， 神都安慰我們，使我們能用他所賜的安慰，去安慰那些在各樣患難中的人。 5 我們既然多受基督所受的痛苦，就靠著基督多得安慰。 6 如果我們遭遇患難，那是要使你們得著安慰，得著拯救；如果我們得到安慰，也是要使你們得到安慰。這安慰使你們能夠忍受我們所受那樣的痛苦。 7 我們對你們的盼望是堅定的，因為知道你們既然一同受痛苦，也必照樣同得安慰。
8 弟兄們，我們在亞西亞遭受的患難，我們很想讓你們知道。那時我們受到了過於我們所能忍受的壓力，甚至活下去的希望都沒有了， 9 而且斷定自己是必死的了；然而，這正是要我們不倚靠自己，只倚靠那叫死人復活的 神。 10 他救我們脫離了那極大的死亡，而且他還要救我們，我們希望他將來仍要救我們。 11 請你們一同用禱告支持我們，好使許多人為著我們所蒙的恩獻上感謝。這恩是藉著許多人的代求而得到的。
保羅計劃再到哥林多
12 我們引以為榮的，就是我們處世為人，是本著 神的聖潔和真誠，不是靠著人的聰明，而是靠著 神的恩典，對你們更是這樣，這是我們的良心可以作證的。 13 我們現在寫給你們的，不外是你們可以宣讀、可以明白的。 14 正如你們對我們已經有些認識，我盼望你們可以徹底明白：在我們的主耶穌的日子，我們是你們的光榮，你們也是我們的光榮。
15 我既然有這樣的信念，就打算先到你們那裡，使你們再一次得到恩惠， 16 然後經過你們那裡，往馬其頓去，再從馬其頓回到你們中間，讓你們給我送行往猶太去。 17 我這樣決定，難道是反覆不定嗎？我所決定的，難道是體貼肉體而定，使我忽是忽非嗎？ 18 神是信實的，我們向你們所傳的道並不是“是”而又“非”的， 19 因為我、西拉和提摩太，在你們中間所宣揚的耶穌基督， 神的兒子，並不是“是”而又“非”的，在他總是“是”的。 20 因為 神的一切應許，在基督裡都是“是”的，為此我們藉著他說“阿們”，使榮耀歸於 神。 21 那在基督裡堅定我們和你們，又膏抹我們的，就是 神。 22 他在我們身上蓋了印，就是賜聖靈在我們心裡作憑據。
23 我呼求 神給我作證，我沒有再到哥林多來，是要寬容你們。 24 我們並不是要轄制你們的信仰，而是要作你們的同工，使你們喜樂，因為你們在信仰上已經站穩了。

問候
1 我是奉上帝旨意作基督耶穌使徒的保羅，與提摩太弟兄寫信給在哥林多的上帝的教會以及亞該亞境內所有的聖徒。
2 願我們的父上帝和主耶穌基督賜給你們恩典和平安！
上帝的安慰
3 我們主耶穌基督的父上帝當受讚美！祂是仁慈的父和賜一切安慰的上帝。 4 我們遭遇任何患難，祂都安慰我們，使我們能夠用祂給我們的安慰去安慰那些在各樣患難中的人。 5 正如我們多受基督所受的苦楚，也靠基督多得安慰。 6 我們遭受患難，是為了使你們得到安慰和拯救；我們得到安慰，也是為了使你們得到安慰，以便你們能忍受像我們所遭遇的諸般苦難。 7 我們對你們堅信不移，因為知道你們既和我們同受患難，也必和我們同得安慰。
8 弟兄姊妹，希望你們知道我們在亞細亞所遭遇的苦難。那時我們承受極大的壓力，超過了我們的極限，甚至連活命的指望都沒了。 9 我們心裡覺得必死無疑，這使我們不倚靠自己，只倚靠使死人復活的上帝。 10 祂曾救我們脫離死亡的威脅，將來還要救我們。我們深信祂必繼續救我們。 11 你們也要用祈禱幫助我們，使恩典藉著許多人的禱告臨到我們，眾人便因此而為我們感恩。
保羅改變計劃
12 我們感到自豪的是：我們本著上帝所賜的聖潔和誠實為人處世，倚靠祂的恩典，不倚靠人的聰明才智，對待你們更是這樣。這一點，我們的良心可以作證。 13-14 我們不寫任何你們讀不懂、不明白的內容。你們現在對我們有幾分認識，但我盼望你們最終完全認識到：當主耶穌再來的日子，你們將以我們為榮，正如我們將以你們為榮一樣。
15 我有這樣的把握，所以早就計劃去你們那裡，使你們有兩次蒙福的機會。 16 我打算從你們那裡去馬其頓，再從馬其頓回到你們那裡，然後你們為我送行前往猶太。 17 我定了這計劃，難道會反覆無常嗎？難道我是意氣用事，出爾反爾嗎？ 18 我在信實的上帝面前保證：我們對你們說的話絕不會忽是忽非！ 19 我和西拉、提摩太在你們當中所傳揚的那位上帝的兒子耶穌基督絕不會忽是忽非，在祂只有「是」。 20 因為上帝的一切應許在基督裡都是確實的，所以我們也是藉著基督說「阿們[a]」，將榮耀歸於上帝。 21 是上帝使我們和你們一同在基督裡信心堅固。祂差遣[b]了我們， 22 在我們身上蓋了祂自己的印記，並讓聖靈住在我們心中作擔保。
23 我求上帝為我作證：我沒有去哥林多，是為了寬容你們。 24 我們並不是要操縱你們的信仰，而是要幫助你們，使你們喜樂，因為你們在信仰上已經站穩了。
2 Corinthians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and (B)Timothy our brother,
To the church of God which is at Corinth, (C)with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
2 (D)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Comfort in Suffering
3 (E)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who (F)comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any [a]trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as (G)the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our [b]consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, (H)it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that (I)as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
Delivered from Suffering
8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of (J)our [c]trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should (K)not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 (L)who delivered us from so great a death, and [d]does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, 11 you also (M)helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on [e]our behalf (N)for the gift granted to us through many.
Paul’s Sincerity
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in [f]simplicity and (O)godly sincerity, (P)not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. 13 For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end 14 (as also you have understood us in part), (Q)that we are your boast as (R)you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Sparing the Church
15 And in this confidence (S)I intended to come to you before, that you might have (T)a second benefit— 16 to pass by way of you to Macedonia, (U)to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea. 17 Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan (V)according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? 18 But as God is (W)faithful, our [g]word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For (X)the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, (Y)Silvanus, and (Z)Timothy—was not Yes and No, (AA)but in Him was Yes. 20 (AB)For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and (AC)has anointed us is God, 22 who (AD)also has sealed us and (AE)given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
23 Moreover (AF)I call God as witness against my soul, (AG)that to spare you I came no more to Corinth. 24 Not (AH)that we [h]have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for (AI)by faith you stand.

King James Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
13 For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
17 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
18 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
