ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
61:267
Ἔξω μὲν γὰρ σοῦ τοιαῦτα διαλεγομένου, πολλοὶ καὶ γελάσονται ὑπὸ τῆς πολλῆς τρυφῆς διακεχυμένοι·
For outside, while you discourse of such things, many will even laugh, being dissolved by their great luxury;
因為在外面,當你講論這樣的事時,許多人反倒要嗤笑,因他們沉溺於極大的奢華而放蕩;
61:268
οἱ δὲ ἐν συμφοραῖς ὄντες, κατεσταλμένης αὐτοῖς τῆς διανοίας, μετὰ πολλῆς τῆς ἐπιεικείας καὶ προσέξουσι τοῖς λεγομένοις, καὶ ἐπαινέσονται, καὶ ἔσονται βελτίους
but those who are in calamities, having their mind subdued, will with much fairness give heed to what is said, and will praise, and will become better.
但那些身處患難的人,因心思已被制伏,就必以極大的謙和留心所講的話,且要稱讚,並要變得更好。
61:269
Ἐπεὶ καὶ Παύλου δημηγοροῦντος, Ἰουδαῖοι μὲν πολλάκις κατεγέλων·
For when Paul too was speaking publicly, the Jews often laughed him to scorn;
因為連保羅公開講道的時候,猶太人也屢次譏笑他;
61:270
οἱ δὲ δεσμῶται μετὰ πολλῆς ἐπηκροῶντο τῆς ἡσυχίας
but the prisoners listened with much quietness.
而那些囚犯卻以極大的安靜側耳傾聽。
61:271
Οὐδὲν γὰρ οὕτως εἰς φιλοσοφίαν ἐπιτηδείαν κατασκευάζει τὴν ψυχὴν ὡς συμφορὰ, καὶ πειρασμὸς, καὶ θλίψις ἐπικειμένη
For nothing so prepares the soul apt for wisdom as calamity, and temptation, and pressing affliction.
因為沒有甚麼比災難、試探和臨到的患難,更能使靈魂預備好、宜於存智慧。
61:272
Ταῦτ' οὖν ἐννοήσαντες ἅπαντα, ὅσα μὲν τοὺς ἔνδον ἀγαθὰ, ὅσα δὲ ἡμᾶς αὐτοὺς ἐργασόμεθα, συνεχῶς αὐτοῖς ἀναμιγνύμενοι, καὶ τὰς ἐν ἀγορᾷ διατριβὰς, καὶ τὰς ἀκαίρους ἀσχολίας ἐκεῖ καταναλώσωμεν, ἵνα κἀκείνους κερδάνωμεν, καὶ ἡμᾶς αὐτοὺς εὐφράνωμεν, καὶ τὸν Θεὸν δοξασθῆναι παρασκευάσαντες, τῶν αἰωνίων ἐπιτύχωμεν ἀγαθῶν, χάριτι καὶ φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, δι' οὗ καὶ μεθ' οὗ τῷ Πατρὶ ἡ δόξα σὺν τῷ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων
Considering, then, all these things—how many good things we shall work for those within, and how many for our own selves—let us continually mingle with them, and let us spend there the times we waste in the marketplace and in untimely occupations, that we may both gain those men and gladden our own selves, and, having caused God to be glorified, may attain the eternal good things, by the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom and with whom to the Father be glory, together with the Holy Spirit, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
所以,我們思想這一切事——就是我們要為那裡的人成就何等多的美善,又要為我們自己成就何等多的美善——就當常常與他們來往,把我們在市集上和不合時宜之事上所虛擲的光陰用在那裡,好叫我們既得著那些人,又使自己歡喜,並使神得榮耀,從而得著那永遠的福分,都是靠著我們主耶穌基督的恩典與慈愛;願榮耀藉著祂並與祂一同歸與父,並歸與聖靈,直到世世代代。阿們。
