2Co 6:1-18.
英文原文
2Co 6:1-18.
HIS APOSTOLIC MINISTRY IS APPROVED BY FAITHFULNESS IN EXHORTATION, IN SUFFERINGS, IN EXHIBITION OF THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY GHOST: HIS LARGENESS OF HEART TO THEM CALLS FOR ENLARGEMENT OF THEIR HEART TO HIM. EXHORTATIONS TO SEPARATION FROM POLLUTION.
1. workers together--with God
(Ac 15:4; 1Co 3:9).
Not only as "ambassadors."
beseech--entreat
(2Co 5:20).
He is describing his ministry, not exhorting directly.
you also--rather, "WE ALSO (as well as God,
2Co 5:20)
beseech" or "entreat you":
2Co 6:14, 15,
on to
2Co 7:1,
is part of this entreaty or exhortation.
in vain--by making the grace of God a ground for continuance in sin
(2Co 6:3).
By a life of sin, showing that the word of reconciliation has been in vain, so far as you are concerned
(Heb 12:15; Jude 4).
"The grace of God" here, is "the reconciliation" provided by God's love
(2Co 5:18, 19;
compare
Ga 2:2).

2. 因為——神自己的應許乃是我們勸勉的根據。
他說——神父對神子所說，也因此對一切與他合而為一的信徒所說。
應允了你——在我愛的永遠旨意中，我已應允你為你百姓得救的祈禱（比較
約 17:9, 15, 20, 24)。
悅納……悅納——後者的希臘文更為強調，「極蒙悅納」。在預言中為「悅納的時候」
(賽 49:8，
希伯來文作「在恩典的時節」），在應驗中便成為「極蒙悅納的時候」（比較
詩 69:13)。
既是神**悅納罪人的時候，你們當接受他的恩：在 his悅納的時候，接受\n (林後 6:1)
和好之道。
拯救的日子——「在拯救的日子」
(路 4:18, 19, 21; 19:42; 來 3:7)。
英文原文
2. For--God's own promise is the ground of our exhortation.
he saith--God the Father saith to God the Son, and so to all believers who are regarded as one with Him.
heard thee--In the eternal purposes of my love I have hearkened to thy prayer for the salvation of thy people (compare
Joh 17:9, 15, 20, 24).
accepted . . . accepted--The Greek of the latter is more emphatic, "well-accepted." What was "an accepted time" in the prophecy
(Isa 49:8,
Hebrew, "in the season of grace") becomes "the well-accepted time" in the fulfilment (compare
Ps 69:13).
As it is God's time of receiving sinners, receive ye His grace: accept
(2Co 6:1)
the word of reconciliation in His accepted time.
in the day of salvation--"in a day of salvation"
(Lu 4:18, 19, 21; 19:42; Heb 3:7).

3. 重新接續與
林後 6:1
的關係——這關係被括號內的
林後 6:2
所打斷。「不叫人有妨礙」（比較
林前 10:33），「表明自己是」，以及下至
林後 6:10
的一切其他分詞，都是「我們也勸你們」
(林後 6:1)
的主格補語，為表明他以榜樣、也以教訓來加強他的勸勉所費的苦心[奧爾福德]。「妨礙」會因我們缺少「忍耐」和他因此附列的其他資格而產生（比較
羅 14:13)。
英文原文
3. Resuming the connection with
2Co 6:1,
interrupted by the parenthetical
2Co 6:2.
"Giving no offense" (compare
1Co 10:33),
"approving ourselves," and all the other participles down to
2Co 6:10,
are nominatives to "we also entreat you"
(2Co 6:1),
to show the pains he took to enforce his exhortation by example, as well as precept [ALFORD]. "Offense" would be given, if we were without "patience" and the other qualifications which he therefore subjoins (compare
Ro 14:13).

4. 為標明希臘文字詞的真正次序，譯作「凡事作神的僕人，舉薦自己」，即為要使我們的聽者因我們在各方面的始終如一，而樂意聽我們的信息，不是為叫他們榮耀我們。他暗指
林後 3:1，
暗示我們舉薦自己，不如他們那樣憑言語，而是憑行為。
忍耐——
(林後 12:12)。
列在第一。「清白」在後
(林後 6:6)。
其後有三組三重的試煉，操練「忍耐」（忍耐的忍受）：患難（或作「苦難」）、窮乏、困苦（或作「窘迫」）；鞭打、監禁、擾亂；勞碌、警醒、禁食。第一組概括地指苦難；第二組特別指因人的暴力而來的；第三組指他自己直接或間接加諸己身的。
英文原文
4. Translate, to mark the true order of the Greek words, "in everything, as God's ministers recommending ourselves," that is, that our hearers may give our message a favorable hearing, through our consistency in every respect, not that they may glorify us. Alluding to
2Co 3:1,
he implies, We commend ourselves, not like them by word, but by deed.
patience--
(2Co 12:12).
Put first. "Pure-minded" follows
(2Co 6:6).
Three triplets of trials exercising the "patience" (patient endurance) follow: Afflictions (or "tribulations"), necessities, distresses (or "straits"); stripes, imprisonments, tumults; labors, watchings, fastings. The first triplet expresses afflictions generally; the second, those in particular arising from the violence of men; the third, those which he brought on himself directly or indirectly.

5. 鞭打——
(林後 11:23, 24; 徒 16:23)。
監禁——
(林後 11:23)。
他寫本書信時，除腓立比之外，無疑也在別處坐過監。
擾亂——
(徒 13:50; 14:5, 19; 16:22；
以及最近的
徒 19:23-41)。
勞碌——在基督的聖工上
(林後 11:23; 羅 16:12)。
警醒——
(林後 11:27)。
失眠的夜晚。
禁食——此處上下文是指他的試煉，而非靈修（比較
林後 11:27)。
如此，「無食」似乎是此處的意思（比較
林前 4:11; 腓 4:12)。
但希臘文通常的意思是嚴格意義上的禁食；在
林後 11:27
中它與「飢餓口渴」分開而論。（比較
路 2:37; 徒 10:30; 14:23)。
然而
太 15:32; 可 8:3
支持「無食」之意——這意思雖是此字的罕用，卻更合上下文。[高森]說：「使徒們把最高的職分與最卑微的外表結合起來：因為教會中的一切都要經過死與復活的模式，這是貫穿整個基督教的根本原則。」
英文原文
5. stripes--
(2Co 11:23, 24; Ac 16:23).
imprisonments--
(2Co 11:23).
He had been, doubtless, elsewhere imprisoned besides at Philippi when he wrote this Epistle.
tumults--
(Ac 13:50; 14:5, 19; 16:22;
and recently
Ac 19:23-41).
labours--in the cause of Christ
(2Co 11:23; Ro 16:12).
watchings--
(2Co 11:27).
Sleepless nights.
fastings--The context here refers to his trials, rather than devotional exercises (compare
2Co 11:27).
Thus "foodlessness" would seem to be the sense (compare
1Co 4:11; Php 4:12).
But the usual sense of the Greek is fasts, in the strict sense; and in
2Co 11:27
it is spoken of independently of "hunger and thirst." (Compare
Lu 2:37; Ac 10:30; 14:23).
However,
Mt 15:32; Mr 8:3,
justify the sense, more favored by the context, foodlessness, though a rare use of the word. GAUSSEN remarks "The apostles combine the highest offices with the humblest exterior: as everything in the Church was to be cast in the mould of death and resurrection, the cardinal principle throughout Christianity."

6. 廉潔……知識——更當按希臘文作「在……在」，暗示的不是工具，而是其職事在其中運行的範圍或要素。
知識——屬靈的：在福音的奧秘中，非僅憑理性所能達
(林前 2:6-16; 林後 3:6, 17, 18)。
恆忍……恩慈——與「愛」或「愛」相連
(林前 13:4)，
正如此處。
聖靈——憑著他產生這些恩典與其他恩賜的感化，「無偽的愛」為其中之首。
英文原文
6. By . . . by, &c.--rather, as Greek, "In . . . in," implying not the instrument, but the sphere or element in which his ministry moved.
knowledge--spiritual: in Gospel mysteries, unattainable by mere reason
(1Co 2:6-16; 2Co 3:6, 17, 18).
long-suffering . . . kindness--associated with "charity" or "love"
(1Co 13:4),
as here.
by the Holy Ghost--in virtue of His influences which produce these graces, and other gifts, "love unfeigned" being the foremost of them.

7. 真實的道理、神的大能——更當作「在……在」等。關於「真實的道」（比較
林後 4:2; 西 1:5)，
以及「神的（神蹟）大能」
(林後 4:7)；
林前 2:4，
「用聖靈和大能的明證」。
兵器——希臘文作「藉著」或「藉著兵器」。「公義」在
弗 6:13-17
中單單是護心鏡，此處則成了基督徒全套軍裝（比較
林後 10:4)。
左右——即在每一面護衛。
英文原文
7. By the word of truth, by the power of God--rather, "IN . . . in," &c. As to "the word of truth" (compare
2Co 4:2; Col 1:5),
and "the (miraculous) power of God"
(2Co 4:7);
1Co 2:4,
"in demonstration of the Spirit and of power."
by the armour--Greek, "through" or "by means of the armor." "Righteousness," which is the breastplate alone in
Eph 6:13-17,
here is made the whole Christian panoply (compare
2Co 10:4).
on . . . right . . . and . . . left--that is, guarding on every side.

8. 譯作「在榮耀與羞辱（恥辱）中」，即來自有權位之人、並現今歸到我們身上的。「藉著」或「在壞名聲與好名聲中」，來自群眾、並影響我們不在場之時[本格爾]。那些不認識
(林後 6:9)
的人看我們為「迷惑人的」，便羞辱我們，並給我們壞名聲；那些在事工的真實「榮耀」中「認識」
(林後 6:9)
我們的人，便看我們為「真實的」。一個人越多或少有榮耀與好名聲，便相應越多或少有羞辱與壞名聲。
英文原文
8. Translate, "Through glory and dishonor (disgrace)," namely, from those in authority, and accruing to us present. "By," or "through evil report and good report," from the multitude, and affecting us absent [BENGEL]. Regarded "as deceivers" by those who, not knowing
(2Co 6:9),
dishonor and give us an evil report; "as true," by those who "know"
(2Co 6:9)
us in the real "glory" of our ministry. In proportion as one has more or less of glory and good report, in that degree has he more or less of dishonor and evil report.

9. 不為人所知——卻是人所共知的*——在我們的真實品格上不為那些給我們「壞名聲」的人所「知」，卻為那些以「好名聲」看待我們的人所「深知」
(林後 6:8)。
[科尼比爾]解釋為「不為人所知，卻為神所承認」
(林前 13:12)。
也許神和人（信徒）都是認識他的對象
(林後 5:11; 11:6)。
死……活*——
(林後 1:9; 4:10, 11; 11:23)。
比較[高森]的話，見
林後 6:5
之註解。
「看哪」引人注意這事實，視為出乎一切意料之外。
受懲治……卻不被殺*——應驗了
詩 118:18。
英文原文
9. unknown . . . yet well known--"unknown" in our true character to those who "evil report" of us, "well known" to those who hold us in "good report"
(2Co 6:8).
CONYBEARE explains, "Unknown by men, yet acknowledged by God"
(1Co 13:12).
Perhaps both God and men (believers) are intended as knowing him
(2Co 5:11; 11:6).
dying . . . live--
(2Co 1:9; 4:10, 11; 11:23).
Compare GAUSSEN'S remark, see on
2Co 6:5.
"Behold" calls attention to the fact as something beyond all expectation.
chastened . . . not killed--realizing
Ps 118:18.

10. 此後的「似乎」不再用以表達他對手的意見，而是表達他與同工的真實情形。
叫許多人富足——屬靈上
(林前 1:5)，
效法我們的主，「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」
(林後 8:9)。
一無所有——我們所有的一切屬地之物（且為數不多），都有如沒有；如同可隨時被趕走的租戶，不是業主
(林前 7:30)。
乃是全有*——希臘文含有牢牢持有、緊握為業之意（比較
林前 3:21, 22)。
現今與將來之事，在最真實的意義上都是信徒所擁有的，因為他是在基督——他永遠的產業——裏面擁有一切，雖然這一切的完全享受留待將來的永世。
英文原文
10. The "as" no longer is used to express the opinion of his adversaries, but the real state of him and his fellow laborers.
making many rich--Spiritually
(1Co 1:5),
after the example of our Lord, who "by His poverty made many rich"
(2Co 8:9).
having nothing--Whatever of earthly goods we have, and these are few, we have as though we had not; as tenants removable at will, not owners
(1Co 7:30).
possessing all things--The Greek implies firm possession, holding fast in possession (compare
1Co 3:21, 22).
The things both of the present and of the future are, in the truest sense, the believer's in possession, for he possesses them all in Christ, his lasting possession, though the full fruition of them is reserved for the future eternity.

11. 口……向你們敞開——我不加隱瞞，如哥林多有些人所暗示的那樣
(林後 4:2)。
我向你們用一切自由與坦白說話，如同對親愛的朋友。因此他在此加上「哥林多人哪」（比較
腓 4:15)。
他的心向他們的寬廣\n (林後 7:3)
產生了他的口之敞開，即他對內心感受的毫無保留的表達。正如無愛的人心中狹窄，照樣使徒的心被愛所擴充，以致容納他在哥林多的歸信者——不但包含他們的恩典，也包含他們諸般的虧欠（比較
王上 4:29; 詩 119:32; 賽 60:5)。
英文原文
11. mouth . . . open unto you--I use no concealment, such as some at Corinth have insinuated
(2Co 4:2).
I use all freedom and openness of speech to you as to beloved friends. Hence he introduces here, "O Corinthians" (compare
Php 4:15).
The enlargement of his heart towards them
(2Co 7:3)
produced his openness of mouth, that is, his unreserved expression of his inmost feelings. As an unloving man is narrow in heart, so the apostle's heart is enlarged by love, so as to take in his converts at Corinth, not only with their graces, but with their many shortcomings (compare
1Ki 4:29; Ps 119:32; Isa 60:5).

12. 你們對我若有任何限制，或心地狹窄，不是因為我對你們的心不夠寬廣，而是因為你們對我的心不夠寬廣。
心腸——即情感（比較
林後 12:15)。
狹窄——即因我們心中沒有容納你們的空間。
英文原文
12. Any constraint ye feel towards me, or narrowness of heart, is not from want of largeness of heart on my part towards you, but from want of it on your part towards me.
bowels--that is, affections (compare
2Co 12:15).
not straitened in us--that is, for want of room in our hearts to take you in.

我對自己的孩子說話——正如兒女自然當以同樣的愛報答父母的愛。

(Ga 4:12).
I speak as unto my children--as children would naturally be expected to recompense their parents' love with similar love.

(申 22:10)
的誡命，「不可用牛驢耕地」。比較
申 7:3，
禁止與外邦人通婚；又
林前 7:39。
信徒與不信者在根本上是異質的。在其他關係上與不信者過於親密的交往也包括在內
(林後 6:16; 林前 8:10; 10:14)。
相交——原文作「分」或「有分」。
義——信徒因信稱義的狀態。
不法——更當如別處常譯的那樣作「不法」；不信者的狀態，不信的果子。
光——信徒是光的兒女
(帖前 5:5)。
英文原文
14. Be not--Greek, "Become not."
unequally yoked--"yoked with one alien in spirit." The image is from the symbolical precept of the law
(Le 19:19),
"Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind"; or the precept
(De 22:10),
"Thou shalt not plough with an ox and an ass together." Compare
De 7:3,
forbidding marriages with the heathen; also
1Co 7:39.
The believer and unbeliever are utterly heterogeneous. Too close intercourse with unbelievers in other relations also is included
(2Co 6:16; 1Co 8:10; 10:14).
fellowship--literally, "share," or "participation."
righteousness--the state of the believer, justified by faith.
unrighteousness--rather, as always translated elsewhere, "iniquity"; the state of the unbeliever, the fruit of unbelief.
light--of which believers are the children
(1Th 5:5).

15. 彼列——希伯來文作「無用、無益、邪惡」。正如撒但與神相對，敵基督與基督相對；此處彼列既與基督相對，必是指著各種敵基督的不潔之事本格爾。
信主和不信主的——當譯為：「信主的與不信主的。」
英文原文
15. Belial--Hebrew, "worthlessness, unprofitableness, wickedness." As Satan is opposed to God, and Antichrist to Christ; Belial being here opposed to Christ, must denounce all manner of Antichristian uncleanness [BENGEL].
he that believeth with an infidel--Translate, "a believer with an unbeliever."

16. 相和——意見上的和諧（參

神的殿——即你們信徒

偶像——可比較大袞神像在約櫃面前
（撒上5:2-4）。
就如——「正如神所說的。」引文出自
利26:12； 耶31:33；32:38； 結37:26, 27；
參
太28:20； 約14:23。
在他們中間居住——更恰當地譯為「在他們中間往來」。正如「居住」暗示神聖的同在，「往來」則暗示神聖的運行。神住在聖徒的身體與靈魂裏，可以由其反面——鬼魔附於身體與靈魂——來加以說明。
我的子民——更恰當地譯為「他們要作我的子民」。
英文原文
16. agreement--accordance of sentiments (compare
1Ki 18:21; Eph 5:7, 11).
the temple of God--that is, you believers
(1Co 3:16; 6:19).
with idols--Compare Dagon before the ark
(1Sa 5:2-4).
as--"even as God said." Quotation from
Le 26:12; Jer 31:33; 32:38; Eze 37:26, 27;
compare
Mt 28:20; Joh 14:23.
walk in them--rather, "among them." As "dwell" implies the divine presence, so "walk," the divine operation. God's dwelling in the body and soul of saints may be illustrated by its opposite, demoniacal possession of body and soul.
my people--rather, "they shall be to me a people."

17. 引自
賽52:11，
所用的是受聖靈感動之人所享有的自由，其中變異之處乃為聖靈所認可。
出來——「分別出來」
（何4:17）。
不沾不潔淨的物——更恰當地譯為「任何不潔淨的物」
（林後7:1； 彌2:10）。
沾比看更能污染人，因它暗示參與其中。
收納你們——希臘文暗示「到我這裏來」；如從前在門外的人，如今被接納到裏面
（林後5:1-10）。
與此相符的就是這句：「你們要從他們中間出來」，即好被收納到我這裏。照樣
結20:41，
「我必悅納你們」；又
番3:19，
「招聚被趕出的」。「信徒與世界的交往，當如天使一般：他們從天上奉差遣傳達信息，以最快的速度完成使命，然後歡喜地飛返神的面前」
（林前7:31；5:9, 10）。
英文原文
17. Quoted from
Isa 52:11,
with the freedom of one inspired, who gives variations sanctioned by the Holy Spirit.
be ye separate--"be separated"
(Ho 4:17).
touch not the unclean thing--rather, "anything unclean"
(2Co 7:1; Mic 2:10).
Touching is more polluting, as implying participation, than seeing.
receive you--The Greek implies, "to myself"; as persons heretofore out of doors, but now admitted within
(2Co 5:1-10).
With this accords the clause, "Come out from among them," namely, so as to be received to me. So
Eze 20:41,
"I will accept you"; and
Zep 3:19,
"gather her that was driven out." "The intercourse of believers with the world should resemble that of angels, who, when they have been sent a message from heaven, discharge their office with the utmost promptness, and joyfully fly back home to the presence of God"
(1Co 7:31; 5:9, 10).

（代上28:6； 賽43:6； 啟21:3, 7； 耶31:1, 9）。
全能的主——即主——普世的統治者：此稱呼除啟示錄外不見於別處。應許者的偉大更增添了應許的偉大。
英文原文
18. Translate, "I will be to you in the relation of a Father, and ye shall be to me in the relation of sons and daughters." This is a still more endearing relation than
(2Co 6:16),
"I will be their God, and they . . . My people." Compare the promise to Solomon
(1Ch 28:6; Isa 43:6; Re 21:3, 7; Jer 31:1, 9).
Lord Almighty--The Lord the Universal Ruler: nowhere else found but in Revelation. The greatness of the Promiser enhances the greatness of the promises.
林後 6:1-18.
他的使徒職分因勸勉上的忠心、受苦、聖靈果子的彰顯而得印可：他對他們心胸寬廣，要求他們對他也心胸寬廣。勸他們與污穢分別出來。
1. 同工——與神同工
(徒 15:4; 林前 3:9)。
不僅是作「使者」。
勸——懇求
(林後 5:20)。
他是描述自己的職事，不是直接勸勉。
與——更當作「我們也（如同神一樣，
林後 5:20）
勸」或「求你們」：
林後 6:14, 15
至
林後 7:1
是這懇求或勸勉的一部分。
徒然——把神的恩當作繼續犯罪的藉口
(林後 6:3)。
藉著犯罪的生活，表明和好之道在你們身上是徒然的
(來 12:15; 猶 4)。
此處的「神的恩」，就是神的愛所預備的「和好」
(林後 5:18, 19;
比較
加 2:2)。
