| 哥林多后书-2 Corinthians 第 3 章 |
| 3:1 | 我们岂是又开始推荐自己么？岂像有些人，需要给你们荐信，或由你们写荐信么？ Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some do, letters of commendation to you or from you? |
| 3:2 | 你们就是我们的信，写在我们的心里，是众人所认识、所诵读的， You are our letter, inscribed in our hearts, known and read by all men, |
| 3:3 | 你们显明是基督的信，由我们供职所写的，不是用墨，乃是用活神的灵写的，不是写在石版上，乃是写在肉版，就是心上。 Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh. |
| 3:4 | 我们藉着基督，对神有这样的深信。 And such confidence we have through Christ toward God, |
| 3:5 | 并不是我们凭自己够资格将什么估计作像是出于我们自己的；我们之所以够资格，乃是出于神； Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God, |
| 3:6 | 祂使我们够资格作新约的执事，这些执事不是属于字句，乃是属于灵，因为那字句杀死人，那灵却叫人活。 Who has also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant, ministers not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. |
| 3:7 | 若那用字刻在石头上属死的职事，尚且是带着荣光立的，以致以色列子孙因摩西面上渐渐废去的荣光，不能定睛看他的脸， Moreover if the ministry of death, engraved in stone in letters, came about in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to gaze at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, a glory which was being done away with, |
| 3:8 | 何况那灵的职事，岂不更带着荣光？ How shall the ministry of the Spirit not be more in glory? |
| 3:9 | 若定罪的职事有荣光，那称义的职事，就越发充盈着荣光了。 For if there is glory with the ministry of condemnation, much more the ministry of righteousness abounds with glory. |
| 3:10 | 那从前得荣光的，在这一点上，因这超越的荣光，就算不得有荣光； For also that which has been glorified in this respect has not been glorified on account of the surpassing glory. |
| 3:11 | 因为那渐渐废去的，如果是经过荣光的，这长存的就更多在荣光里了。 For if that which was being done away with was through glory, much more that which remains is in glory. |
| 3:12 | 所以，我们既有这样的盼望，就大大放胆， Therefore since we have such hope, we use much boldness, |
| 3:13 | 不像摩西将帕子蒙在脸上，为要叫以色列子孙，不能定睛看到那渐渐废去者的结局。 And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the sons of Israel would not gaze at the end of that which was being done away with. |
| 3:14 | 但他们的心思刚硬，因为直到今日他们诵读旧约的时候，同样的帕子还存留着，他们还未得启示这帕子在基督里已经废去了。 But their thoughts were hardened; for until the present day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant, it not being unveiled to them that the veil is being done away with in Christ. |
| 3:15 | 是的，直到今日，每逢诵读摩西书的时候，帕子还留在他们心上； Indeed unto this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart; |
| 3:16 | 但他们的心几时转向主，帕子就几时除去了。 But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. |
| 3:17 | 而且主就是那灵；主的灵在那里，那里就有自由。 And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. |
| 3:18 | 但我们众人既然以没有帕子遮蔽的脸，好像镜子观看并返照主的荣光，就渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像，从荣耀到荣耀，乃是从主灵变化成的。 But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit. |
