哥林多後書 13
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
結尾的警告與勸勉
13 這是我第三次到你們那裡去。「任何事,憑兩個或三個見證人的口,才能成立。」[a] 2 我先前說過了,現在雖然我不在你們那裡,還要像第二次在你們那裡的時候一樣,預先警告那些從前犯了罪的人和所有其餘的人:我如果再來,不會顧惜! 3 這是因為你們尋找基督在我裡面說話的憑證。基督對你們並不是軟弱的;相反,他在你們中間是有大能的。 4 實際上,基督雖然在軟弱中被釘十字架,但他卻在神的大能中活著。的確,我們雖然在基督裡也軟弱,但為了你們,我們卻在神的大能中,將要與基督一同活著。
5 你們要察驗自己是否在信仰中,要考驗自己。難道你們不了解耶穌基督在你們裡面嗎?除非你們是經不起考驗的。 6 但是我希望你們明白,我們不是經不起考驗的。 7 我們祈求神,使你們不做任何惡事。這不是要顯明我們是經過考驗的,而是要你們行美善的事,就算我們可能像是經不起考驗的。 8 因為我們做任何事都不能抵擋真理,只能擁護真理。 9 實際上,當我們軟弱而你們剛強的時候,我們就歡喜;我們還祈求這一點:就是你們得以完全。 10 為此,我不在你們那裡的時候寫了這些事,好讓我來到的時候,不必用主所賜給我的權柄嚴厲地對待你們。這權柄是為了造就人,並不是為了拆毀人。
11 最後,弟兄們,你們要歡喜!願你們得以完全,願你們得到安慰!你們要同心合意,要彼此和睦。這樣,慈愛與平安的神就會與你們同在。 12 你們要用聖潔的親吻禮彼此問候。所有的聖徒都問候你們。
13 願主耶穌基督的恩典、神的慈愛、聖靈的契合[b]與你們大家同在![c][d]

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
13 (A)This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established (B)by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 2 (C)I warned (D)those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that (E)if I come again I will not spare them— 3 since you seek proof that Christ (F)is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but (G)is powerful among you. 4 For (H)he was crucified in weakness, but (I)lives by the power of God. For (J)we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you (K)we will live with him by the power of God.
5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. (L)Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that (M)Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 6 I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test. 7 But we pray to God that you may not do wrong—not that we may appear to have met the test, but that you may do what is right, though we may seem to have failed. 8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. 9 For we are glad when (N)we are weak and you are strong. Your (O)restoration is what we pray for. 10 For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come (P)I may not have to be (Q)severe in my use of (R)the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.
Final Greetings
11 Finally, brothers,[a] rejoice. (S)Aim for restoration, comfort one another,[b] (T)agree with one another, (U)live in peace; and the God of love and (V)peace will be with you. 12 (W)Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13 (X)All the saints greet you.
14 (Y)The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and (Z)the love of God and (AA)the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
