《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

我们并非过了自己的界限，好像构不到你们那里。因为我们早到你们那里，传了基督的福音。For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

左咡

我们不仗着别人所劳碌的，分外夸口。但指望你们信心增长的时候，所量给我们的界限，就可以因着你们更加开展，Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

左咡

得以将福音传到你们以外的地方，并不是在别人界限之内，藉着他现成的事夸口。To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.

左咡

但夸口的当指着主夸口。But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

左咡

因为蒙悦纳的，不是自己称许的，乃是主所称许的。For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

左咡

但愿你们宽容我这一点愚妄。其实你们原是宽容我的。Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

左咡

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。For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

左咡

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。But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

左咡

假如有人来，另传一个耶稣，不是我们所传过的。或着你们另受一个灵，不是你们所受过的。或者另得一个福音，不是你们所得过的。你们容让他也就吧了。For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

左咡

但我想，我一点不在那些最大的使徒以下。For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
