2 Corinthians

Chapter 4

1 Therefore1223 5124 seeing we have2192 this5026 ministry,1248 as we have2192 received1653 mercy,1653 we faint1573 not;

2 But have renounced550 the hidden2927 things of dishonesty,152 not walking4043 in craftiness,3834 nor3366 handling1389 the word3056 of God2316 deceitfully;1389 but by manifestation5321 of the truth225 commending4921 ourselves1438 to every3956 man's444 conscience4893 in the sight1799 of God.2316

3 But if1499 our gospel2098 be hid,2572 it is hid2572 to them that are lost:622

4 In whom3739 the god2316 of this5127 world165 has blinded5186 the minds3540 of them which believe571 not, lest1519 the light5462 of the glorious1391 gospel2098 of Christ,5547 who3739 is the image1504 of God,2316 should shine826 to them.

5 For we preach2784 not ourselves,1438 but Christ5547 Jesus2424 the Lord;2962 and ourselves1438 your5216 servants1401 for Jesus'2424 sake.

6 For God,2316 who3588 commanded2036 the light5457 to shine2989 out of darkness,4655 has shined2989 in our hearts,2588 to give the light5462 of the knowledge1108 of the glory1391 of God2316 in the face4383 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

7 But we have2192 this5126 treasure2344 in earthen3749 vessels,4632 that the excellency5236 of the power1411 may be of God,2316 and not of us.

8 We are troubled2346 on1722 every1722 3956 side, yet235 not distressed;4729 we are perplexed,639 but not in despair;1820

9 Persecuted,1377 but not forsaken;1459 cast2598 down,2598 but not destroyed;622

10 Always3842 bearing4064 about4064 in the body4983 the dying3500 of the Lord2962 Jesus,2424 that the life2222 also2532 of Jesus2424 might be made5319 manifest5319 in our body.4983

11 For we which3588 live2198 are always104 delivered3860 to death2288 for Jesus'2424 sake, that the life2222 also2532 of Jesus2424 might be made5319 manifest5319 in our mortal2349 flesh.4561

12 So5620 then3303 death2288 works1754 in us, but life2222 in you.

13 We having2192 the same846 spirit4151 of faith,4102 according2596 as it is written,1125 I believed,4100 and therefore1352 have I spoken;2980 we also2532 believe,4100 and therefore1352 speak;2980

14 Knowing1492 that he which raised1453 up the Lord2962 Jesus2424 shall raise1453 up us also2532 by Jesus,2424 and shall present3936 us with you.

15 For all3956 things are for your5209 sakes, that the abundant4121 grace5485 might through1223 the thanksgiving2169 of many4119 redound4052 to the glory1391 of God.2316

16 For which1352 cause1352 we faint1573 not; but though1499 our outward1854 man444 perish,1311 yet235 the inward2081 man is renewed341 day2250 by day.2250

17 For our light1645 affliction,2347 which3588 is but for a moment,3901 works2716 for us a far1519 5236 more1519 5236 exceeding1519 5236 and eternal166 weight922 of glory;1391

18 While we look4648 not at4648 the things which are seen,991 but at4648 the things which are not seen:991 for the things which are seen991 are temporal;4340 but the things which are not seen991 are eternal.166

哥林多後書

第4章

1 所以[Therefore],我們既然蒙憐憫,受了這職分,就不喪膽;

2 乃將那些暗昧不正[dishonesty]的事棄絕了;不行詭詐,不謬講神的道理,只將真理表明出來,好在神[sight]前把自己薦與各人的良心。

3 如果我們的福音蒙蔽、就是蒙蔽在失喪[lost]的人身上。

4 此等不信之人被這世界的神弄瞎了心眼,恐怕[lest]基督榮耀福音的光照著他們。基督本是神的像。

5 我們原不是傳自己,乃是傳基督耶穌為主,並且自己因耶穌作你們的僕人。

6 那吩咐光從黑暗裏照出來的神,已經照在我們心裏,叫我們得知神榮耀的光,顯在耶穌[Jesus]基督的面上。

7 我們有這寶貝放在瓦器裏,要顯明這莫大的能力是出於神,不是出於我們。

8 我們四面受擾[troubled],卻不被困住;心裏作難,卻不至失望;

9 遭逼迫,卻不被丟棄;打倒了,卻不至死亡。

10 身上常帶著[Lord]耶穌的死,使耶穌的生,也顯明在我們身上。

11 因為我們這活著的人是常為耶穌被交於死地,使耶穌的生在我們這必死的身上顯明出來。

12 這樣看來,死是在我們身上發動,生卻在你們身上發動。

13 但我們既[same]有信心之靈[spirit of],正如經上記著說:「我因信,所以如此說話。」我們也信,所以也說話。

14 自己知道那叫主耶穌復活的,也必叫我們[by]耶穌一同復活,並且叫我們與你們一同站在他面前。

15 凡事都是為你們,好叫豐盛[abundant]恩典[grace]因多人的感謝[through the thanksgiving of many],以致榮耀歸與神。

16 所以,我們不喪膽。外面的人[outward man]雖然毀壞,內裏的人[inward man]卻一天新似一天。

17 我們這至暫至輕的苦楚,要為我們成就極重無比、永遠的榮耀。

18 原來我們不是顧念所見的,乃是顧念所不見的;因為所見的是暫時的,所不見的是永遠的。

8 We are troubled2346 on1722 every1722 3956 side, yet235 not distressed;4729 we are perplexed,639 but not in despair;1820

9 Persecuted,1377 but not forsaken;1459 cast2598 down,2598 but not destroyed;622

10 Always3842 bearing4064 about4064 in the body4983 the dying3500 of the Lord2962 Jesus,2424 that the life2222 also2532 of Jesus2424 might be made5319 manifest5319 in our body.4983

10 身上常帶著[Lord]耶穌的死,使耶穌的生,也顯明在我們身上。

11 因為我們這活著的人是常為耶穌被交於死地,使耶穌的生在我們這必死的身上顯明出來。

12 So5620 then3303 death2288 works1754 in us, but life2222 in you.

12 這樣看來,死是在我們身上發動,生卻在你們身上發動。

13 We having2192 the same846 spirit4151 of faith,4102 according2596 as it is written,1125 I believed,4100 and therefore1352 have I spoken;2980 we also2532 believe,4100 and therefore1352 speak;2980
