1 我已经决定了,下次到你们那里时不再使大家忧伤。2 如果我使你们忧伤,那么除了因我而忧伤的你们,还有谁能使我喜乐呢?3 我曾为这事写信给你们,免得我到你们那里时,那些本该使我喜乐的人反而使我忧伤。我也深信你们会以我的喜乐为你们的喜乐。4 我万分难过、泪流满面地给你们写了前一封信,并非要使你们忧伤,而是要你们明白我是多么疼爱你们。5 那个令人痛心的人与其说使我忧伤,倒不如说使你们大家都有几分忧伤。我只说几分忧伤,是怕说得太重,他受不了。6 这样的人受了众人的谴责也就够了。7 你们现在要饶恕他、安慰他,免得他忧伤过度而一蹶不振。8 我劝你们要让他确实知道你们仍然爱他。9 为此,我也曾写信给你们,想知道你们是否凡事顺服。10 你们饶恕谁,我也饶恕谁。我若饶恕,是为了你们的缘故在基督面前饶恕的,11 免得撒旦乘虚而入,因为我们并非不知道它的诡计。12 我前往特罗亚传扬基督的福音时,主为我打开了传福音的大门。13 那时,因为没有找到提多弟兄,我心里不安,便辞别众人来到马其顿。14 感谢上帝,祂常常在基督里率领我们走在凯旋的行列中,又借着我们到处散发那因认识基督而有的香气。15 不论是在得救的人当中还是在灭亡的人当中,对上帝来说,我们都是基督的馨香之气。16 对灭亡的人而言,这香气是叫人死亡的香气;对得救的人来说,这香气却是叫人得生命的香气。谁能担当这样的重任呢?17 我们并不像许多人为了谋利而出卖上帝的道。我们是上帝差遣的,在上帝面前靠着基督诚诚实实地讲道。

1 For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you. (林后1:23; 林后12:20; 林后13:10)2 For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? (林后7:8)3 And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. (林后7:16; 林后8:22; 加5:10; 帖后3:4)4 For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you. (徒20:19; 林后7:8; 林后7:12)5 Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. (林前5:1; 林后1:14; 加4:12)6 For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, (林前5:4; 林后7:11)7 so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. (加6:1; 弗4:32)8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.9 For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. (林后7:15; 林后10:6; 腓2:22)10 Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs. (彼前5:8)12 When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord, (徒14:27; 徒16:8; 徒20:6)13 my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia. (林后7:5)14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. (歌1:3; 羅6:17; 林后8:16; 林后9:15; 弗5:2; 腓4:18; 西2:15)15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, (林前1:18; 林后4:3)16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? (路2:34; 约9:39; 林后3:5; 彼前2:7)17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.
