我们在这帐棚里,叹息劳苦,并非愿意脱下这个,乃是愿意穿上那个,好叫这必死的被生命吞灭了。For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
因为我们众人,必要在基督台前显露出来,叫各人按着本身所行的,或善或恶受报。For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
我们既知道主是可畏的,所以劝人,但我们在神面前是显明的,盼望在你们的良心里,也是显明的。Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.vvv
我们不是向你们再举荐自己,乃是叫你们因我们有可夸之处,好对那凭外貌不凭内心夸口的人,有言可答。For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
