2 Corinthians 10
1 Moreover, I, Paul, myself, exhort you, through the meekness and considerateness of the Christ, —I who, to look upon, indeed, am lowly toward you, but, absent, am bold towards you; —
我是保罗，当我与你们在一起时，我是“羞涩”的，但离开你们后，我又是“大胆”的。在此，我亲自以基督的善良和温柔恳请你们。
2 I entreat, however, that, when present, I may not be bold with the assurance wherewith I think to be daring against some who account of us as though, according to flesh, we were walking, —
恳请你们，让我下一次与你们相处之时，无需再强迫自己变得强硬，当有人认为我们以凡俗方式行事时，我也无需再壮着胆子予以回应。
3 For, though, in flesh, we walk, not, according to flesh, do we war, —
我们虽然生活在这个世界，但并未按照俗世的方式战斗。
4 For, the weapons of our warfare, are not fleshly, but mighty, by God, unto a pulling down of strongholds, —
我们作战所用的兵器不是属于这个世界，而是上帝的强大力量，足以摧毁人类思想的堡垒，消灭误导人类的谬误。
5 When we pull down, calculations, and every height that uplifteth itself against the knowledge of God, and when we bring into captivity every thought unto the obedience of the Christ,
为了阻挡上帝的知识，人类用傲慢铸就巍峨高墙，但上帝的力量仍然会将其推倒。他会制止所有背叛想法，将其转化为对基督的服从认同。
6 And when we hold ourselves, in readiness, to avenge all disobedience, as soon as your obedience shall be fulfilled!
我们已经准备好，当你们完全顺服，就会去惩罚所有不顺从之人。
7 The things that lie on the surface, ye are looking at: —if anyone hath come to trust in himself that he is, Christ’s, this, let him reckon, again, with himself—that, even as, he, is Christ’s, so, also are, we.
看看是什么在盯着你的脸！如果有人认为自己属于基督，就要再想一想：他属于基督，同样我们也属于基督。
8 Yea, if, somewhat more abundantly, I should boast concerning our authority—which the Lord hath given for building up and not for pulling you down, I shall not be put to shame, —
尽管我可能略微夸大了我们的权力，但也不会感到难堪。主赐给我们这样的权力，就是为了成就你们，而非破坏你们。
9 That I may not seem as though I would be terrifying you through means of my letters;
我写信的目的并不是为了惊吓你们。
10 Because, The letters, it is true (saith one), are weighty and strong, but, the presence of the body, is weak, and, the discourse, contemptible; —
有人说：“他的信严厉又强硬，但他本人却其貌不扬，不善言辞。”
11 This, let such a one reckon—that, what we are, in our word, through means of letters, being absent, such, also, being present, are we, in our deed.
说这话的人应该知道，我们未与你们在一起时，会通过文字表达。我们与你们在一起时，就会采取行动。
12 For we dare not class or compare ourselves with some who do, themselves, commend; but, they, among themselves, measuring, themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without discernment!
有的人只考虑自己，我们不会与之妄加比较。他们用自己衡量自己，用自己比较自己，这真的很愚蠢。
13 We, however, not as to the things without measure, will boast ourselves, but, according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned unto us, as a measure—to reach as far as even you!
但我们不会用无法衡量的夸张方式自我吹嘘，而是使用上帝赐给我们的量度，衡量我们的所作所为。这量度也适用于你们。
14 For, not as though we were not reaching unto you, are we over-stretching ourselves, for, as far as even you, were we beforehand in the glad-message of the Christ:
我们这样说，并不是将自己的权力过度延伸到你们那里，好像我们从未到过你们那里去。事实上，我们早已将基督的福音传到你们那里。
15 Not, as to the things without measure, boasting ourselves in other men’s toils, but having, hope—your faith, growing—among you, to be enlarged, according to our limit for something beyond, —
我们并未以无法衡量的夸张方式自吹自擂，将别人的功劳冠在自己的头上。相反，我们希望随着你们对上帝信仰的不断增加，为你们所做的工作也能大幅扩展。
16 Unto the regions beyond you, to carry the glad-message: not, within another man’s limit, as to the things made ready, to boast ourselves.
这样我们就能在你们以外的地点传递福音。对于其他人所完成的工作，我们不会拿来夸耀。
17 He that boasteth, however, in the Lord, let him boast;
“如果你想夸耀，就夸耀主。”
18 For, not he that commendeth himself, he, is approved, but he whom, the Lord, doth commend.
因为受尊敬的并非自我赞美之人，而是主所赞美的人。
