2 Corinthians 11

1 I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness, but you are already doing that.

1 但愿你们宽容我这一点愚妄，其实你们原是宽容我的。

2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

2 我为你们起的愤恨，原是 神那样的愤恨。因为我曾把你们许配一个丈夫，要把你们如同贞洁的童女，献给基督。

3 I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ.

3 我只怕你们的心或偏于邪，失去那向基督所存纯一清洁的心，就像蛇用诡诈诱惑了夏娃一样。

4 For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it very easily.

4 假如有人来另传一个耶稣，不是我们所传过的；或者你们另受一个灵，不是你们所受过的；或者另得一个福音，不是你们所得过的；你们容让他也就罢了。

5 I consider myself in no way inferior to those “super-apostles.”

5 但我想，我一点不在那些最大的使徒以下。

6 Although I am not a polished speaker, I am certainly not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every way possible.

6 我的言语虽然粗俗，我的知识却不粗俗。这是我们在凡事上向你们众人显明出来的。

7 Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

7 我因为白白传 神的福音给你们，就自居卑微，叫你们高升，这算是我犯罪吗？

8 I robbed other churches by accepting their support in order to serve you.

8 我亏负了别的教会，向他们取了工价来给你们效力。

9 And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.

9 我在你们那里缺乏的时候，并没有累着你们一个人；因我所缺乏的，那从马其顿来的弟兄们都补足了。我向来凡事谨守，后来也必谨守，总不至于累着你们。

10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

10 既有基督的诚实在我里面，就无人能在亚该亚一带地方阻挡我这自夸。

11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

11 为什么呢？是因我不爱你们吗？这有 神知道。

12 But I will keep on doing what I am doing, in order to undercut those who want an opportunity to be regarded as our equals in the things of which they boast.

12 我现在所做的，后来还要做，为要断绝那些寻机会人的机会，使他们在所夸的事上也不过与我们一样。

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

13 那等人是假使徒，行事诡诈，装作基督使徒的模样。

14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

14 这也不足为怪，因为连撒但也装作光明的天使。

15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.

15 所以他的差役，若装作仁义的差役，也不算希奇。他们的结局必然照着他们的行为。

16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

16 我再说，人不可把我看作愚妄的。纵然如此，也要把我当作愚妄人接纳，叫我可以略略自夸。

17 In this confident boasting of mine, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as a fool.

17 我说的话不是奉主命说的，乃是像愚妄人放胆自夸；

18 Since many are boasting according to the flesh, I too will boast.

18 既有好些人凭着血气自夸，我也要自夸了。

19 For you gladly put up with fools, since you are so wise.

19 你们既是精明人，就能甘心忍耐愚妄人。

20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or exalts himself or strikes you in the face.

20 假若有人强你们作奴仆，或侵吞你们，或掳掠你们，或侮慢你们，或打你们的脸，你们都能忍耐他。

21 To my shame I concede that we were too weak for that! Speaking as a fool, however, I can match what anyone else dares to boast about.

21 我说这话是羞辱自己，好像我们从前是软弱的。然而，人在何事上勇敢，（我说句愚妄话，）我也勇敢。

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.

22 他们是希伯来人吗？我也是。他们是以色列人吗？我也是。他们是亚伯拉罕的后裔吗？我也是。

23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.

23 他们是基督的仆人吗？（我说句狂话，）我更是。我比他们多受劳苦，多下监牢，受鞭打是过重的，冒死是屡次有的。

24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one.

24 被犹太人鞭打五次，每次四十减去一下；

25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.

25 被棍打了三次；被石头打了一次；遇着船坏三次，一昼一夜在深海里。

26 In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,

26 又屡次行远路，遭江河的危险、盗贼的危险、同族的危险、外邦人的危险、城里的危险、旷野的危险、海中的危险、假弟兄的危险。

27 in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.

27 受劳碌、受困苦，多次不得睡，又饥又渴，多次不得食，受寒冷，赤身露体。

28 Apart from these external trials, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.

28 除了这外面的事，还有为众教会挂心的事，天天压在我身上。

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?

29 有谁软弱，我不软弱呢？有谁跌倒，我不焦急呢？

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

30 我若必须自夸，就夸那关乎我软弱的事便了。

31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.

31 那永远可称颂之主耶稣的父 神知道我不说谎。

32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.

32 在大马士革的亚哩达王手下的提督把守大马士革城，要捉拿我，

33 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.

33 我就从窗户中，在筐子里，从城墙上被人缒下去，脱离了他的手。
