哥林多后书 13
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
劝勉和祝福
13 这是我第三次到你们那里去,各样事情必须凭两三个证人的口,才能确定。 2 我第二次到你们那里去的时候说过,现今不在你们那里,再预先对那些从前犯了罪的和其余的人说:我若再来,必不宽容, 3 因为你们在找基督借着我说话的凭据。基督对你们不是软弱的,相反地,在你们身上是有能力的。 4 他因着软弱被钉死了,却靠着 神的大能活着。我们在他里面也是软弱的,但靠着 神向你们所显的大能,也必与他一同活着。
5 你们应当察验自己是不是持守着信仰,也应当考验自己。难道不晓得基督耶稣是在你们里面吗?(除非你们是经不起考验的人。) 6 我盼望你们晓得,我们不是经不起考验的人。 7 我们祈求 神,使你们不作甚么恶事。这并不是要显明我们是经得起考验的,而是要你们行善;我们呢,就让我们作经不起考验的人好了! 8 我们不能作甚么事违背真理,只能维护真理。 9 当我们软弱、你们刚强的时候,我们就欢喜;我们所求的,就是要你们完全。 10 因此,我趁着不在你们那里的时候,把这些话写给你们,到我来了,就不必凭着主所给我的权柄严厉地对待你们。这权柄不是要拆毁你们,而是要建立你们。
11 最后,弟兄们,你们要喜乐,要完全,要受安慰,要同心,要和睦。这样,施慈爱赐平安的 神必与你们同在。 12 你们要用圣洁的亲吻彼此问安。
13 众圣徒都问候你们。
14 愿主耶稣基督的恩惠, 神的慈爱,圣灵的契通,常与你们众人同在。

Final Warnings
13 This will be my third visit to you.(A) “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”[a](B) 2 I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent:(C) On my return I will not spare(D) those who sinned earlier(E) or any of the others, 3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me.(F) He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. 4 For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness,(G) yet he lives by God’s power.(H) Likewise, we are weak(I) in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him(J) in our dealing with you.
5 Examine yourselves(K) to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.(L) Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you(M)—unless, of course, you fail the test? 6 And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test. 7 Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. 8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. 9 We are glad whenever we are weak(N) but you are strong;(O) and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.(P) 10 This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh(Q) in my use of authority—the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.(R)
Final Greetings
11 Finally, brothers and sisters,(S) rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.(T) And the God of love(U) and peace(V) will be with you.
12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.(W) 13 All God’s people here send their greetings.(X)
14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,(Y) and the love of God,(Z) and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit(AA) be with you all.

Final Warnings and Greetings
13 This will be my third time to visit you. And remember, “For every complaint there must be two or three people to say that they know it is true.”[a] 2 When I was with you the second time, I gave a warning to those who had sinned. I am not there now, but I am giving another warning to them and to anyone else who has sinned: When I come to you again, I will punish you. 3 You want proof that Christ is speaking through me. My proof is that he is not weak in dealing with you but is showing his power among you. 4 It is true that Christ was weak when he was killed on the cross, but he lives now by God’s power. It is also true that we share his weakness, but in dealing with you, we will be alive in him by God’s power.
5 Look closely at yourselves. Test yourselves to see if you are living in the faith. Don’t you realize that Christ Jesus is in you? Of course, if you fail the test, he is not in you. 6 But I hope you will see that we have not failed the test. 7 We pray to God that you will not do anything wrong. Our concern here is not for people to see that we have passed the test in our work with you. Our main concern is that you do what is right, even if it looks as if we have failed the test. 8 We cannot do anything that is against the truth but only what promotes the truth. 9 We are happy to be weak if you are strong. And this is what we pray—that your lives will be made completely right again. 10 I’m writing this before I come so that when I am there I will not have to use my authority to punish you. The Lord gave me that authority to make you stronger, not to destroy you.
11 Now, brothers and sisters, be filled with joy. Try to make everything right, and do what I have asked you to do. Agree with each other, and live in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
12 Give each other the special greeting of God’s people.[b] All of God’s holy people here send you their greetings.
13 I pray that you will enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship[c] of the Holy Spirit.
