余暌違時、以書遺爾、使我與爾晤對、不事嚴法、依主所賜之權、非以敗人、乃以輔德、

所以，我不在你们那里的时候，把这话写给你们，好叫我见你们的时候，不用照主所给我的权柄严厉地待你们。这权柄原是为造就人，并不是为败坏人。

我暌違時書此、俾晤對時無事嚴厲、依主賜我之權以建立、非傾覆也、○

今我與爾相離、故以此書達爾、使我與爾覿面時、不用嚴法、循主所賜我之權、此權主賜我、乃為建德、非為敗壞也、

吾在與爾相暌之時、書此種切、庶幾與爾相晤時、無庸秉持主所授我之大權、以懲惡徒、而盡吾之職責、則幸甚矣！蓋此大權所以輔人成德、非所以致人傾毀也。

This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority— the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

That’s why I write these things before I come to you. Then when I do come, I won’t have to be hard on you when I use my authority. The Lord gave me the authority to build you up. He didn’t give it to me to tear you down.

For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

I am writing this to you before I come, hoping that I won’t need to deal severely with you when I do come. For I want to use the authority the Lord has given me to strengthen you, not to tear you down.

This is why I am writing these things while absent, so that when I am there I may not have to deal harshly with you, in keeping with the authority the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

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

This is why I am writing these things while absent, that when I am there I will not use severity, in keeping with the authority the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

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.

Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive I may not have to deal harshly with you by using my authority– the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

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.

主賜我權、非以敗人、乃以輔德、我雖愈誇、吾亦無愧、

昔我以書達爾、恐來時所當使我樂者、轉令我憂耳、蓋我樂即爾樂、吾知之素矣、

此言確然、當嚴責之、使守正道、

勿使我近時儼然、蓋有謂我純以血氣行事者、我意當儼然待之、

我所行者、非逆真理、乃順之、

爾何所欲、欲我至以杖叩爾乎、抑以柔惠之意撫爾乎、

余恐至時、爾不能副我所望、我不能副爾所望、恐有爭鬥、媢嫉、忿怒、朋黨、毀謗、隱刺、妄誇、混亂、勿使我至時、上帝卑我、見眾犯罪、污穢淫行、邪侈、而不悔改、為吾憂也、

吾先言而再言之、如與爾晤對、惟今暌違、故書達犯罪者、及眾人、余復至時、必不恕之、
