我作了这福音的执事，是照神的恩赐。这恩赐是照他运行的大能赐给我的。
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
神能照着运行在我们心里的大力，充充足足的成就一切超过我们所求所想的。
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
他们的结局就是沉沦，他们的神就是自己的肚腹，他们以自己的羞辱为荣耀，专以地上的事为念。
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
因为你们已经死了，你们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
弟兄们，我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们，凡有弟兄不按规矩而行，不遵守从我们所受的教训，就当远离他。
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
这并不是因我们没有权柄，乃是要给你们作榜样，叫你们效法我们。
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
我们在你们那里的时候，曾吩咐你们说，若有人不肯作工，就不可吃饭。
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
无亲情，不解怨，好说才言，不能自约，性情凶暴，不爱良善，
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
但你已经服从了我的教训，品行，志向，信心，宽容，爱心，忍耐，
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
并且知道你是从小明白圣经。这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧。
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
