哥林多后书 11
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
保罗与假使徒
11 我真希望你们能容忍我这一点点的愚妄！的确，你们是容忍我的。 2 我以神的热心热爱你们，因为我已经把你们许配给一位丈夫，做为贞洁的童女献给基督。 3 可是我担心，恐怕你们的思想受到败坏，离开对基督的忠实和贞洁[a]，就像蛇用它的诡计欺骗了夏娃那样。 4 实际上，如果有人真的来传另一个耶稣，不是我们所传过的；或者你们领受另外一个灵，不是你们所领受过的；或者接受另外一个福音，不是你们所接受过的——你们竟然容忍他！
5 实际上，我认为自己没有一点赶不上那些“超级使徒[b]”。 6 即使我在言语上没有技巧，但在知识上并不是这样。其实我们在各个方面、在所有的事上都已经向你们显明了这一点。 7 我降卑自己，好使你们被高举，因为我把神的福音无偿地传给你们，难道我这样就犯了罪吗？ 8 我“掠夺了”别的教会，拿了他们的工价来服事你们。 9 我在你们那里有缺乏的时候，也没有成为任何人的负担，因为从马其顿省来的弟兄们补足了我的缺乏。在一切事上我都留意，不让自己成为你们的负担，将来也会留意。 10 我指着[c]在我里面基督的真理说，在亚该亚地区，谁也不能阻止我如此夸耀。 11 为什么呢？难道因为我不爱你们吗？神是知道的！
12 我现在所做的，将来还要做，为要断绝那些人的机会——他们想找一个机会，好让别人以为他们所夸耀的与我们一样， 13 因为这样的人是假使徒，是诡诈的工人，他们装做基督的使徒。 14 这并不足为奇，原来撒旦自己也装做光明的天使； 15 所以，即使他的仆人[d]把自己装做义的仆人[e]，也不足为怪；他们的结局必然照着他们的行为。
为主受患难
16 我再说：谁都不要以为我是愚妄的人！否则，至少该接受我这个像是愚妄的人，好让我也可以稍微自夸。 17 我现在所说的，不是按照主说的，而是像一个愚妄人那样自信夸耀。 18 既然有许多人按人的标准[f]自夸，我也要自夸了， 19 因为你们做为聪明人，乐意容忍愚妄的人！ 20 实际上，就算有人奴役你们，或侵吞你们，或榨取你们，或压制你们，或打你们的脸，你们也能容忍。 21 说来惭愧，我们倒好像是软弱的。
但如果有人在什么事上大胆——我说句愚妄的话——我也大胆！
22 他们是希伯来人吗？我也是。
他们是以色列人吗？我也是。
他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔吗？我也是。
23 他们是基督的仆人[g]吗？
我狂妄地说：我更是！
我受了更多的劳苦，更多的监禁，
更多的鞭打，经常面临死亡，
24 我在犹太人的手中，遭受了五次“四十减一”的鞭打[h]，
25 被棍子打过三次，
被石头砸过一次，
遭遇海难[i]三次，
在深海里度过了一昼一夜；
26 我经常行远路，
遭遇江河的危险、强盗的危险、
来自同胞的危险、来自外邦人的危险、
在城里的危险、在旷野中的危险、
在海上的危险、在假弟兄中的危险；
27 我辛苦劳碌，经常失眠，
又饥又渴，经常缺食，
遭受寒冷，衣不蔽体。
28 除了这些外在的事，还有对各教会的挂虑，天天压在我身上。 29 有谁软弱，我不软弱呢？有谁被绊倒[j]，我不心如火烧呢？ 30 如果必须夸耀，我就夸耀自己的那些软弱。 31 主耶稣的神与父——永远当受颂赞的那一位，知道我不是在说谎。 32 在大马士革，阿瑞塔斯王的总督看守了大马士革城，要抓[k]我， 33 可是我被人用筐子从城墙的窗口缒下来，逃脱了他的手。

2 Corinthians 11
King James Version
11 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16 I say again, let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
2 Corinthians 11
New King James Version
Concern for Their Faithfulness
11 Oh, that you would bear with me in a little (A)folly—and indeed you do bear with me. 2 For I am (B)jealous for you with godly jealousy. For (C)I have betrothed you to one husband, (D)that I may present you (E)as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as (F)the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds (G)may be corrupted from the [a]simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a (H)different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!
Paul and False Apostles
5 For I consider that (I)I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. 6 Even though (J)I am untrained in speech, yet I am not (K)in knowledge. But (L)we have [b]been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.
7 Did I commit sin in [c]humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you (M)free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. 9 And when I was present with you, and in need, (N)I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked (O)the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. 10 (P)As the truth of Christ is in me, (Q)no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Why? (R)Because I do not love you? God knows!
12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, (S)that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. 13 For such (T)are false apostles, (U)deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into (V)an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, (W)whose end will be according to their works.
Reluctant Boasting
16 I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little. 17 What I speak, (X)I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 18 Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast. 19 For you put up with fools gladly, (Y)since you yourselves are wise! 20 For you put up with it (Z)if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face. 21 To our shame (AA)I say that we were too weak for that! But (AB)in whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also.
Suffering for Christ
22 Are they (AC)Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: (AD)in labors more abundant, (AE)in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, (AF)in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received (AG)forty (AH)stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was (AI)beaten with rods; (AJ)once I was stoned; three times I (AK)was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, (AL)in perils of my own countrymen, (AM)in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, (AN)in sleeplessness often, (AO)in hunger and thirst, in (AP)fastings often, in cold and nakedness— 28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: (AQ)my deep concern for all the churches. 29 (AR)Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 If I must boast, (AS)I will boast in the things which concern my [d]infirmity. 31 (AT)The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (AU)who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 32 (AV)In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me; 33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.
