2 Corinthians歌林多後書-8

8:1	[hb5]	弟兄們、我把　神賜給馬其頓眾教會的恩告訴你們．
	[kjv]	Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
	[bbe]	And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;
8:2	[hb5]	就是他們在患難中受大試煉的時候、仍有滿足的快樂、在極窮之間、還格外顯出他們樂捐的厚恩。
	[kjv]	How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
	[bbe]	How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.
8:3	[hb5]	我可以證明他們是按著力量、而且也過了力量、自己甘心樂意的捐助．
	[kjv]	For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
	[bbe]	For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,
8:4	[hb5]	再三的求我們、准他們在這供給聖徒的恩情上有分．
	[kjv]	Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
	[bbe]	Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:
8:5	[hb5]	並且他們所作的、不但照我們所想望的、更照　神的旨意、先把自己獻給主、又歸附了我們。
	[kjv]	And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
	[bbe]	And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.
8:6	[hb5]	因此我勸提多、既然在你們中間開辦這慈惠的事、就當辦成了。
	[kjv]	Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
	[bbe]	So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.
8:7	[hb5]	你們既然在信心、口才、知識、熱心、和待我們的愛心上、都格外顯出滿足來、就當在這慈惠的事上、也格外顯出滿足來。
	[kjv]	Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
	[bbe]	And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.
8:8	[hb5]	我說這話、不是吩咐你們、乃是藉著別人的熱心、試驗你們愛心的實在。
	[kjv]	I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
	[bbe]	I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.
8:9	[hb5]	你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典、他本來富足、卻為你們成了貧窮、叫你們因他的貧窮、可以成為富足。
	[kjv]	For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
	[bbe]	For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
8:10	[hb5]	我在這事上把我的意見告訴你們、是與你們有益．因為你們下手辦這事．而且起此心意、已經有一年了。
	[kjv]	And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
	[bbe]	And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.
8:11	[hb5]	如今就當辦成這事．既有願作的心、也當照你們所有的去辦成。
	[kjv]	Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
	[bbe]	Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.
8:12	[hb5]	因為人若有願作的心、必蒙悅納、乃是照他所有的、並不是照他所無的。
	[kjv]	For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
	[bbe]	For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.
8:13	[hb5]	我原不是要別人輕省、你們受累、
	[kjv]	For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
	[bbe]	And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:
8:14	[hb5]	乃要均平．就是要你們的富餘、現在可以補他們的不足、使他們的富餘、將來也可以補你們的不足、這就均平了。
	[kjv]	But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
	[bbe]	But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.
8:15	[hb5]	如經上所記、『多收的也沒有餘、少收的也沒有缺。』
	[kjv]	As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
	[bbe]	As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.
8:16	[hb5]	多謝　神、感動提多的心、叫他待你們殷勤、像我一樣。
	[kjv]	But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
	[bbe]	But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
8:17	[hb5]	他固然是聽了我的勸．但自己更是熱心、情願往你們那裡去。
	[kjv]	For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
	[bbe]	For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
8:18	[hb5]	我們還打發一位兄弟和他同去．這人在福音上得了眾教會的稱讚．
	[kjv]	And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
	[bbe]	And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;
8:19	[hb5]	不但這樣、他也被眾教會挑選、和我們同行、把所託與我們的這捐貲送到了、可以榮耀主、又表明我們樂意的心。
	[kjv]	And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
	[bbe]	And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:
8:20	[hb5]	這就免得有人因我們收的捐銀很多、就挑我們的不是。
	[kjv]	Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
	[bbe]	And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:
8:21	[hb5]	我們留心行光明的事、不但在主面前、就在人面前、也是這樣。
	[kjv]	Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
	[bbe]	For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.
8:22	[hb5]	我們又打發一位兄弟同去．這人的熱心、我們在許多事上、屢次試驗過、現在他因為深信你們、就更加熱心了。
	[kjv]	And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
	[bbe]	And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.
8:23	[hb5]	論到提多、他是我的同伴、一同為你們勞碌的．論到那兩位弟兄、他們是眾教會的使者、是基督的榮耀。
	[kjv]	Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
	[bbe]	If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.
8:24	[hb5]	所以你們務要在眾教會面前、顯明你們愛心的憑據、並我所誇獎你們的憑據。
	[kjv]	Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
	[bbe]	Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.
