哥林多後書 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
當潔除身魂一切汙穢
7 親愛的弟兄啊，我們既有這等應許，就當潔淨自己，除去身體、靈魂一切的汙穢，敬畏神，得以成聖。
2 你們要心地寬大收納我們。我們未曾虧負誰，未曾敗壞誰，未曾占誰的便宜。 3 我說這話不是要定你們的罪，我已經說過，你們常在我們心裡，情願與你們同生同死。 4 我大大地放膽，向你們說話；我因你們多多誇口，滿得安慰，我們在一切患難中分外地快樂。
5 我們從前就是到了馬其頓的時候，身體也不得安寧，周圍遭患難，外有爭戰，內有懼怕。 6 但那安慰喪氣之人的神，藉著提多來安慰了我們； 7 不但藉著他來，也藉著他從你們所得的安慰，安慰了我們。因他把你們的想念、哀慟和向我的熱心，都告訴了我，叫我更加歡喜。
依著神的意思憂愁就生出懊悔來
8 我先前寫信叫你們憂愁，我後來雖然懊悔，如今卻不懊悔，因我知道那信叫你們憂愁不過是暫時的。 9 如今我歡喜，不是因你們憂愁，是因你們從憂愁中生出懊悔來。你們依著神的意思憂愁，凡事就不至於因我們受虧損了。 10 因為依著神的意思憂愁，就生出沒有後悔的懊悔來，以致得救；但世俗的憂愁是叫人死。 11 你看，你們依著神的意思憂愁，從此就生出何等的殷勤、自訴、自恨、恐懼、想念、熱心、責罰[a]。在這一切事上，你們都表明自己是潔淨的。 12 我雖然從前寫信給你們，卻不是為那虧負人的，也不是為那受人虧負的，乃要在神面前把你們顧念我們的熱心表明出來。 13 故此，我們得了安慰。並且在安慰之中，因你們眾人使提多心裡暢快歡喜，我們就更加歡喜了。 14 我若對提多誇獎了你們什麼，也覺得沒有慚愧，因我對提多誇獎你們的話成了真的，正如我對你們所說的話也都是真的。 15 並且提多想起你們眾人的順服，是怎樣恐懼戰兢地接待他，他愛你們的心腸就越發熱了。 16 我如今歡喜，能在凡事上為你們放心。

2 Corinthians 7
King James Version
7 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
2 Corinthians 7
New King James Version
The Corinthians’ Repentance
7 Therefore,(A) having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
The Corinthians’ Repentance
2 Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, (B)we have cheated no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn; for (C)I have said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. 4 (D)Great is my boldness of speech toward you, (E)great is my boasting on your behalf. (F)I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.
5 For indeed, (G)when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but (H)we were troubled on every side. (I)Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 6 Nevertheless (J)God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by (K)the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming, but also by the [a]consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.
8 For even if I made you (L)sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; (M)though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. 9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10 For (N)godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; (O)but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what (P)clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be (Q)clear in this matter. 12 Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, (R)but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.
The Joy of Titus
13 Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit (S)has been refreshed by you all. 14 For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true. 15 And his affections are greater for you as he remembers (T)the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him. 16 Therefore I rejoice that (U)I have confidence in you in everything.
