¹表明是　神的仆人

¹And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive not in vain the grace of God —

²因为他说：“在悦纳的时候，我应允了你；在拯救的日子，我帮助了你。”看哪！现在就是悦纳的时候，现在就是拯救的日子。

²for He saith, `In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,` —

³我们凡事都没有妨碍人，不让这职分受到毁谤，

³in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed,

⁴反而在各样的事上，表明自己是　神的仆人，就如持久的忍耐、患难、贫乏、困苦、

⁴but in everything recommending ourselves as God`s ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses,

⁵鞭打、监禁、扰乱、劳苦、不睡觉、禁食、

⁵in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

⁶纯洁、知识、容忍、恩慈、圣灵、无伪的爱心、

⁶in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,

⁷真理的道、　神的大能等事上；并且是借着左右两手中公义的武器，

⁷in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left,

⁸借着荣耀和羞辱、坏名声和好名誉。我们好像是骗人的，却是真诚的，

⁸through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good report, as leading astray, and true;

⁹好像是人所不知的，却是人所共知的；好像是必死的，你看，我们却是活着的；好像是受惩罚的，却没有处死；

⁹as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as chastened, and not put to death;

¹⁰好像忧愁，却是常常喜乐的；好像贫穷，却使很多人富足；好像是什么都没有，却是样样都有。

¹⁰as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

¹¹哥林多人哪！我们对你们，口是坦率的，心是宽宏的。

¹¹Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart hath been enlarged!

¹²并不是我们对你们器量小，而是你们自己心胸狭窄。

¹²ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your [own] bowels,

¹³你们也要照样以宽宏的心对待我们，这话正像是我对儿女说的。

¹³and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say [it],) be ye enlarged — also ye!

¹⁴分别为圣你们和不信的人不可共负一轭，义和不法有什么相同呢？光明和黑暗怎能相通呢？

¹⁴Become not yoked with others — unbelievers, for what partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness?

¹⁵基督和彼列（“彼列”是撒但的别名）怎能和谐呢？信的和不信的有什么联系呢？

¹⁵and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?

¹⁶　神的殿和偶像怎能协调呢？我们就是永生　神的殿，正如　神说：“我要住在他们中间，在他们中间来往；我要作他们的　神，他们要作我的子民。”

¹⁶and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said — `I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

¹⁷所以，“主说：你们要从他们中间出来，和他们分开，不可触摸不洁净的东西，我就收纳你们。”

¹⁷wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I — I will receive you,

¹⁸“我要作你们的父亲，你们要作我的儿女。这是全能的主说的。”

¹⁸and I will be to you for a Father, and ye — ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.`
