REASONS FOR HIS SENDING TITUS. THE GREATER THEIR BOUNTIFULNESS, THE MORE SHALL BE THE RETURN OF BLESSING TO THEM, AND THANKSGIVING TO GOD.

2Co 8:16:

write--emphatical: It is superfluous to "write," for you will have witnesses present [BENGEL].

多人——希腊文，「更多的人」，即马其顿人。

3. 我曾打发——我们今日会说「我打发」；但古人用过去式，因书信到达之时，那事已成过去。
弟兄们——
（林后 8:18, 22）
——提多和另外两人。
在这事上落了空——「在这一具体事上被证明是徒然的」，尽管总体上确实如此
（林后 7:4）。
这是一句含蓄的称赞，缓和了尖锐的提醒。
正如我说过的*——正如我方才所说
（林后 9:2）。
英文原文
3. have I sent--we should say, "I send"; whereas the ancients put it in the past, the time which it would be by the time that the letter arrived.
the brethren--
(2Co 8:18, 22)
--Titus and the two others.
should be in vain in this behalf--"should be proved futile in this particular," however true in general
(2Co 7:4).

as I said--as I was saying
(2Co 9:2).

4. 若有马其顿人——按希腊文译作「若有马其顿人」。
没有预备——即你们的捐赀未预备好；参见
林后 9:2，
「预备好了的」，希腊文，「预备」。
我们在信上——你们自然会为自己感到更加羞愧，过于我们（曾为你们夸口的人）为你们感到的羞愧。
夸奖你们——最古的抄本只读作「信心」，即对你们慷慨的信心。
英文原文
4. if they of Macedonia--rather as Greek, "if Macedonians."
unprepared--with your collection; see
2Co 9:2,
"ready," Greek, "prepared."
we, not to say ye--Ye would naturally feel more ashamed for yourselves, than we (who boasted of you) would for you.
confident boasting--The oldest manuscripts read simply "confidence," namely, in your liberality.

5. 请几位弟兄先到你们那里去——译作「请他们去」等。
从前所应许的——更好的译法是「先前所应许的」；「我从前向马其顿人所长久宣告的」
（林后 9:2）
[本格尔]。「你们所应许的慷慨捐输」[埃利科特等人]。
出于贪心——译作「作为贪心之事」，因为若你们吝啬地捐输，便会如此。
英文原文
5. that they would go before--Translate, "that they should," &c.
whereof ye had notice before--rather, "promised before"; "long announced by me to the Macedonians"
(2Co 9:2)

not as of covetousness--Translate, "not as matter of covetousness," which it would be, if you gave niggardly.

6. 我说——埃利科特等人如此补足省略：「但要记着这事。」
慷慨——字面意为「带着祝福」或「在祝福中」。这字本身含有施赠者乐捐的心灵之意（比较
林后 9:7
末），而复数则暗示礼物的丰盛与慷慨。「收割要与撒种的分量与心灵相应」[本格尔]。比较
结 34:26，
「福雨」。
英文原文
6. I say--ELLICOTT and others supply the ellipsis thus: "But remember this."
bountifully--literally, "with," or "in blessings." The word itself implies a beneficent spirit in the giver (compare
2Co 9:7,
end), and the plural implies the abundance and liberality of the gifts. "The reaping shall correspond to the proportions and spirit of the sowing" [BENGEL]. Compare
Eze 34:26,
"Showers of blessing."

7. 随本心所酌定的——让自由意志的完全同意随礼物一同献上[阿尔福德]。这与「勉强」相对，正如「作难」与「乐意施舍的人」相对
（箴 22:9；11:25； 赛 32:8）。
英文原文
7. according as he purposeth in his heart--Let the full consent of the free will go with the gift [ALFORD]. Opposed to "of necessity," as "grudgingly" is opposed to "a cheerful giver"
(Pr 22:9; 11:25; Isa 32:8).

8. 各样恩惠——甚至在物质上，甚至当你们施与他人时[本格尔]。
叫——「为要叫」。神的恩赐赐给我们，不是叫我们据为己有，而是叫我们更向别人「多行善事」。
凡事充足*——以致无需别人的帮助，你们自己从神得着「粮食」（原文作「饼」）
（林后 9:10）。
凡事——希腊文，「在各样事上」。
善事——施与他人的慈善，这将是「你们所撒的种」
（林后 9:10）。
英文原文
8. all grace--even in external goods, and even while ye bestow on others [BENGEL].
that--"in order that." God's gifts are bestowed on us, not that we may have them to ourselves, but that we may the more "abound in good works" to others.
sufficiency--so as not to need the help of others, having yourselves from God "bread for your food"
(2Co 9:10).
in all things--Greek, "in everything."
every good work--of charity to others, which will be "your seed sown"
(2Co 9:10).

9. 如经上所记——实现了
诗 112:9
所描绘那有福之人的品格。
他——「义人」（原文作「好人」）
（诗 112:5）。
施舍——如以充足开阔的手撒种，不焦虑每一粒落在何方。这也暗示他总有可施舍之物[本格尔]。
诗 112:9
也是如此。
穷人——此希腊文字在新约中仅见于此，意为「处于窘迫境况、靠劳力挣饼的人」。通常所用之字意为「穷到靠乞讨为生的人」。
他的义——此处为「乐捐」：他在神与人面前为义的明证。比较
申 24:13； 太 6:1，
「施舍」；希腊文，「义」。
存到永远——用之不竭、永不断绝。
英文原文
9. As it is written--realizing the highly blessed character portrayed in
Ps 112:9.
He--the "good man"
(Ps 112:5).
dispersed--as seed sown with full and open hand, without anxious thought in what direction each grain may fall. It is implied also that he has always what he may disperse [BENGEL]. So in
Ps 112:9.
the poor--The Greek word is found here only in New Testament, "one in straitened circumstances, who earns his bread by labor." The word usually employed means "one so poor as to live by begging."
his righteousness--Here "beneficence": the evidence of his being righteous before God and man. Compare
De 24:13; Mt 6:1,
"alms"; Greek, "righteousness."
remaineth--unexhausted and unfailing.

10. 译作，如
赛 55:10，
「赐种给撒种的，赐粮给人吃的」（字面意为「给人吃的饼」）。
赐——按最古的抄本应为将来式，「将赐（供给）并增多」。
种子——你们施舍的财源。
仁义果子——你们基督徒爱心的属天赏赐
（太 10:42）。
义本身就是赏赐，正如它也是受赏之物
（何 10:12； 太 5:6；6:33）。
英文原文
10. Translate, as in
Isa 55:10,
"He that ministereth (supplieth) seed to the sower and bread for food" (literally, "bread for eating").
minister--rather future, as the oldest manuscripts, "Shall minister (supply) and multiply."
your seed--your means for liberality.
the fruits of your righteousness--the heavenly rewards for your Christian charity
(Mt 10:42).
Righteousness shall be itself the reward, even as it is the thing rewarded
(Ho 10:12; Mt 5:6; 6:33).

感谢——领受者方面所献的。
英文原文

英文原文
12. Greek, "The ministration of this public service (on your part) is not only still further supplying the wants of the saints (besides the supplies from other quarters), but is abounding also (namely, in respect to relieving the necessities of others in poverty) through many thanksgivings to God."

试验——译作「经历」[埃利科特等人]。或「你们基督徒品格的实验证明」，由「这供给」提供。
他们——领受者。

乐捐——希腊文，「你们对他们的慷慨捐输」等。
英文原文
13. by--through occasion of.
experiment--Translate, "the experience" [ELLICOTT and others]. Or, "the experimental proof" of your Christian character, afforded by "this ministration."
they--the recipients.
for your professed subjection--Greek, "for the subjection of your profession"; that is, your subjection in accordance with your profession, in relation to the Gospel. Ye yield yourselves in willing subjection to the Gospel precepts, evinced in acts, as well as in profession.

14. 译作：「他们自己也以祈祷为你们代求，因神极大的恩典（临）在你们身上，就切切想念你们。」然而英文译本也有好的意思：他们借着实验的证明等
（林后 9:13）
荣耀神，「并借他们为你们的祈祷」。但希腊文更支持前者。
英文原文
14. Translate, "Themselves also with prayer for you, longing after you on account of the exceeding grace of God (resting) upon you." English Version is, however, good sense: They glorify God
(2Co 9:13)
by the experimental proof, &c., "and by their prayer for you." But the Greek favors the former.

15. 说不尽的恩赐*——即他赐下自己的儿子，这包括了一切其他次要的恩赐
（林后 8:9； 罗 8:32）。
我们既从神领受了他「说不尽的恩赐」，若我们为他献上少许必朽坏的礼物，又算得什么呢？
英文原文
15. his unspeakable gift--the gift of His own Son, which includes all other inferior gifts
(2Co 8:9; Ro 8:32).
If we have received from God "His unspeakable gift," what great thing is it, if we give a few perishing gifts for His sake?
林后 9:1-15。
他差遣提多的缘由。他们越慷慨，归给他们的祝福也越多，归给神的感谢也越多。
1. 因为——与
林后 8:16
相连：
「要向众教会的使者显出爱心；因为论到供给圣徒的事，我向你们这样素来热心的人写信，实在是多余的。」
写信——着重之语：写信是多余的，因为你们将有在场的见证人[本格尔]。
