yet he liveth by the power of God

abanda

林後13:1 這是我第三次要到妳們那裏去。憑兩三個人的口作見證，句句都要定准。
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
林後13:2 我從前說過，如今不在妳們那裏又說，正如我第二次見妳們的時候所說的壹樣，就是對那犯了罪的，和其余的人說，我若再來必不寬容。
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
林後13:3 妳們既然尋求基督在我裏面說話的憑據，我必不寬容因爲基督在妳們身上，不是軟弱的。在妳們裏面，是有大能的。
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
林後13:4 他因軟弱被釘在十字架上，卻因　神的大能，仍然活著。我們也是這樣同他軟弱，但因　神向妳們所顯的大能，也必與他同活。
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
林後13:5 妳們總要自己省察有信心沒有。也要自己試驗。豈不知妳們若不是可棄絕的，就有耶稣基督在妳們心裏嗎。
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
林後13:6 我卻盼望妳們曉得我們不是可棄絕的人。
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
林後13:7 我們求　神，叫妳們壹件惡事都不作。這不是要顯明我們是蒙悅納的，是要妳們行事端正，任憑人看我們是被棄絕的吧。
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 林後13:8 我們凡事不能敵擋真理，只能扶助真理。
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
林後13:9 即使我們軟弱，妳們剛強，我們也歡喜。並且我們所求的，就是妳們作完全人。
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
林後13:10 所以我不在妳們那裏的時候，把這話寫給妳們，好叫我見妳們的時候，不用照主所給我的權柄，嚴厲的待妳們。這權柄原是爲造就人，並不是爲敗壞人。
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
林後13:11 還有未了的話，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　神，必常與妳們同在。
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
林後13:12 妳們親嘴問安。彼此務要聖潔。
Greet one another with an holy kiss.
林後13:13 衆聖徒都問妳們安。
All the saints salute you.
林後13:14 願主耶稣基督的恩惠，　神的慈愛，聖靈的感動，常與妳們衆人同在。
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
