13:1

Ecce tertio hoc venio ad vos : in ore duorum vel trium testium stabit omne verbum.

This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”

這是我第三次要到你們那裏去。「憑兩三個人的口作見證，句句都要定準。」

13:2

Praedixi, et praedico, ut praesens, et nunc absens iis qui ante peccaverunt, et ceteris omnibus, quoniam si venero iterum, non parcam.

I have warned previously, and I warn again, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned before now and to all the rest that if I come again, I will not spare,

我從前說過，如今不在你們那裏又說，正如我第二次見你們的時候所說的一樣，就是對那犯了罪的和其餘的人說：「我若再來，必不寬容。」

13:3

An experimentum quaeritis ejus, qui in me loquitur Christus, qui in vobis non infirmatur, sed potens est in vobis ?

seeing that you seek a proof of Christ who speaks in me who is not weak, but is powerful in you.

你們既然尋求基督在我裏面說話的憑據，我必不寬容。因為，基督在你們身上不是軟弱的，在你們裏面是有大能的。

13:4

Nam etsi crucifixus est ex infirmitate : sed vivit ex virtute Dei. Nam et nos infirmi sumus in illo : sed vivemus cum eo ex virtute Dei in vobis.

For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

他因軟弱被釘在十字架上，卻因上帝的大能仍然活着。我們也是這樣同他軟弱，但因上帝向你們所顯的大能，也必與他同活。

13:5

Vosmetipsos tentate si estis in fide : ipsi vos probate. An non cognoscitis vosmetipsos quia Christus Jesus in vobis est ? nisi forte reprobi estis.

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

你們總要自己省察有信心沒有，也要自己試驗。豈不知你們若不是可棄絕的，就有耶穌基督在你們心裏嗎？

13:6

Spero autem quod cognoscetis, quia nos non sumus reprobi.

But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

我卻盼望你們曉得，我們不是可棄絕的人。

13:7

Oramus autem Deum ut nihil mali faciatis, non ut nos probati appareamus, sed ut vos quod bonum est faciatis : nos autem ut reprobi simus.

Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

我們求上帝，叫你們一件惡事都不做；這不是要顯明我們是蒙悅納的，是要你們行事端正，任憑人看我們是被棄絕的吧！

13:8

Non enim possumus aliquid adversus veritatem, sed pro veritate.

For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

我們凡事不能敵擋真理，只能扶助真理。

13:9

Gaudemus enim, quoniam nos infirmi sumus, vos autem potentes estis. Hoc et oramus, vestram consummationem.

For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.

即便我們軟弱，你們剛強，我們也歡喜；並且我們所求的，就是你們作完全人。

13:10

Ideo haec absens scribo, ut non praesens durius agam secundum potestatem, quam Dominus dedit mihi in aedificationem, et non in destructionem.

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

所以，我不在你們那裏的時候，把這話寫給你們，好叫我見你們的時候，不用照主所給我的權柄嚴厲地待你們。這權柄原是為造就人，並不是為敗壞人。

13:11

De cetero, fratres, gaudete, perfecti estote, exhortamini, idem sapite, pacem habete, et Deus pacis et dilectionis erit vobiscum.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

還有末了的話：願弟兄們都喜樂。要作完全人；要受安慰；要同心合意；要彼此和睦。如此，仁愛和平的上帝必常與你們同在。

13:12

Salutate invicem in osculo sancto. Salutant vos omnes sancti.

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

你們親嘴問安，彼此務要聖潔。

13:13

Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et caritas Dei, et communicatio Sancti Spiritus sit cum omnibus vobis. Amen.

All the saints greet you.

眾聖徒都問你們安。
