现在我还是感到欢喜。这并不是因为你们忧伤，而是因为你们忧伤以至于悔改。实际上，你们按神的意思忧伤，使你们在任何事上都不会因我们而受到损失；

如今我欢喜，不是因你们忧愁，是因你们从忧愁中生出懊悔来。你们依着神的意思忧愁，凡事就不至于因我们受亏损了。

如今我欢喜，不是因你们曾忧愁，而是因忧愁导致你们的悔改。你们依着上帝的意思忧愁，凡事就不至于因我们受亏损了。

現在我還是感到歡喜。這並不是因為你們憂傷，而是因為你們憂傷以至於悔改。實際上，你們按神的意思憂傷，使你們在任何事上都不會因我們而受到損失；

今我喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生改悔、蓋爾憂乃依上帝旨、致爾無所受損於我儕、

今吾喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生悔改、蓋爾憂、遵上帝道而憂、明我不虧爾、

今我喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生悔、蓋爾憂遵天主之旨而憂、則不致因我而有損、

吾今則樂甚；非樂爾等之憂戚、乃樂爾等因憂戚而致悔改耳。爾等之憂戚、既允合天主聖意、則固未因吾人而受損也。

yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.

Now I am happy. I’m not happy because you were made sad. I’m happy because your sadness led you to turn away from your sins. You became sad just as God wanted you to. So you were not hurt in any way by us.

As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.

I now rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance. For you were grieved as God willed, so that you didn’t experience any loss from us.

I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.

Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing.

Now I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance. For you were grieved as God willed, so that you didn’t experience any loss from us.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

Now I rejoice, not because you were made sad, but because you were made sad to the point of repentance. For you were made sad as God intended, so that you were not harmed in any way by us.

I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

无论对犹太人或希腊人，我都郑重地劝诫他们要向神悔改，相信我们的主耶稣。

主所赐给我们的权柄是为了造就你们，不是为了拆毁你们。其实，就算我为这权柄有些过度的夸耀，我也不至于蒙羞。我不愿看起来像是在用书信恐吓你们。因为有人说：“保罗的书信又严厉又强硬，但他亲身在的时候却是软弱的人，他的言语也被藐视。”

因为我们做任何事都不能抵挡真理，只能拥护真理。实际上，当我们软弱而你们刚强的时候，我们就欢喜；我们还祈求这一点：就是你们得以完全。为此，我不在你们那里的时候写了这些事，好让我来到的时候，不必用主所赐给我的权柄严厉地对待你们。这权柄是为了造就人，并不是为了拆毁人。

忧烦好过欢笑，因为面带愁容，心也能喜乐。

他说：“你去告诉这百姓说：‘你们听了又听，却不领悟；看了又看，却不明白。’让这子民的心麻木，耳朵发沉，眼睛蒙蔽，免得他们眼睛看见，耳朵听见，心里领悟，回转过来，就得痊愈。”我就说：“主啊，这要到什么时候呢？”他说：“直到城镇废弃，无人居住，房屋空无一人，土地废弃荒凉的时候；

可是他醒悟过来的时候，就说：‘我父亲那么多的雇工都食物充足，我却要在这里饿死吗？我要起来，到我父亲那里去，对他说：‘父亲，我对天犯了罪，也在你面前犯了罪。我再也不配称为你的儿子，请把我当做你的一个雇工吧。’于是他起来往自己的父亲那里去。他离得还远的时候，他父亲就看到他，动了怜悯之心，跑上去搂住他的脖子亲吻他。儿子说：‘父亲，我对天犯了罪，也在你面前犯了罪。我再也不配称为你的儿子。’“父亲却对奴仆们说：‘赶快把那最好的袍子拿来给他穿上，把戒指戴在他手上，把鞋子穿在他脚上，把那只养肥的牛犊牵来宰杀了，让我们吃喝、庆祝吧！因为我这个儿子是死而复生、失而复得的。’于是他们开始庆祝。

我告诉你们：同样，一个罪人的悔改，比九十九个不需要悔改的义人，会让天上更有喜乐。

然而那安慰卑微之人的神，藉着提多的到来安慰了我们；不仅藉着他的到来，也藉着他从你们所受的安慰，安慰了我们，因他向我们报告了你们的渴望、你们的伤痛、你们对我的热心，以致使我更加欢喜。

现在，我们应该庆祝、欢喜，因为你这个弟弟是死而复生、失而复得的。’”

对灭亡的人，我们是死亡的香气以至于死亡；对得救的人，我们是生命的香气以至于生命。对这些事，到底谁配得上呢？

因为按神的意思忧伤，就生出悔改通向救恩，是不懊悔的；可是属世界的忧伤，却带来死亡。看哪，原来正是这件事——你们按神的意思忧伤——在你们里面带来了何等的殷勤、分辩、义愤、敬畏、渴望、热心和惩罚。你们在各方面都证明了自己在那件事上是纯洁的。

我们所夸耀的是这一点：我们的良心见证了我们在世上行事为人带着属神的忠实和真诚，不是靠属肉体的智慧，而是靠神的恩典；对你们更是如此。

我要承认我的罪孽，我因自己的罪而忧伤。

同样，我告诉你们：一个罪人的悔改，会让神的天使们面前有喜乐。”
