For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means there should be strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;

我怕我再来的时候，见你们不合我所想望的，你们见我也不合你们所想望的；又怕有纷争、嫉妒、恼怒、结党、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、混乱的事。

我怕我再来的时候，见你们不合我所期望的，而你们见我也不合你们所期望的。我怕有纷争、嫉妒、愤怒、自私、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、动乱的事。

我怕我再来的时候，见你们不合我所期望的，而你们见我也不合你们所期望的。我怕有纷争、嫉妒、愤怒、自私、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、动乱的事。

因为我怕到你们那里的时候，我对你们的期望会落空，而你们对我也大失所望。我怕你们当中有纷争、嫉妒、恼怒、仇恨、毁谤、闲话、狂傲和混乱。

我怕我来的时候，见你们不如我所想的，你们见我也不如你们所想的。又怕有纷争、嫉妒、恼怒、自私、毁谤、谗言、狂傲、混乱的事。

其实我担心，恐怕我来到的时候会发现你们不像我所希望的那样，而你们发现我也不像你们所希望的那样；又恐怕有纷争、嫉妒、暴怒、争竞、诽谤、谗言、自大和混乱；

我怕我再來的時候，見你們不合我所想望的，你們見我也不合你們所想望的；又怕有紛爭、嫉妒、惱怒、結黨、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、混亂的事。

我怕我再來的時候，見你們不合我所期望的，而你們見我也不合你們所期望的。我怕有紛爭、嫉妒、憤怒、自私、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、動亂的事。

我怕我再來的時候，見你們不合我所期望的，而你們見我也不合你們所期望的。我怕有紛爭、嫉妒、憤怒、自私、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、動亂的事。

因為我怕到你們那裡的時候，我對你們的期望會落空，而你們對我也大失所望。我怕你們當中有紛爭、嫉妒、惱怒、仇恨、毀謗、閒話、狂傲和混亂。

我怕我來的時候，見你們不如我所想的，你們見我也不如你們所想的。又怕有紛爭、嫉妒、惱怒、自私、毀謗、讒言、狂傲、混亂的事。

我只怕我到你們那裏去的時候、見你們不合於我所想要的，而你們也見我不合於你們所想要的。我怕有紛爭、妒忌、暴怒、營私爭勝、毁謗、打耳喳、自吹自大、擾亂、等事。

其實我擔心，恐怕我來到的時候會發現你們不像我所希望的那樣，而你們發現我也不像你們所希望的那樣；又恐怕有紛爭、嫉妒、暴怒、爭競、誹謗、讒言、自大和混亂；

我恐至時、見爾不副我所望、而爾見我亦不副爾所望、或有爭鬥、媢嫉、忿怒、朋黨、毀謗、隱刺、妄誇、混亂、

余恐至時、爾不能副我所望、我不能副爾所望、恐有爭鬥、媢嫉、忿怒、朋黨、毀謗、隱刺、妄誇、混亂、

我恐來時、見爾不如我所望者、爾見我亦不如爾所望者、又恐爾中有分爭、媢嫉、忿怒、結黨、毀謗、隱刺、狂傲、混亂、

蓋吾深恐爾我相見之時、爾不能副我之望、我亦不能副爾之望；又恐爾中有鬥爭、嫉妒、忿怒、樹黨、誹謗、隱刺、傲慢、紛亂等事；

For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

I’m afraid that when I come I won’t find you as I want you to be. I’m afraid that you won’t find me as you want me to be. I’m afraid there will be arguing, jealousy and fits of anger. I’m afraid each of you will focus only on getting ahead. Then you will tell lies about each other. You will talk about each other. I’m afraid you will be proud and cause trouble.

For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish— that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.

For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior.

For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and you may not find me to be what you want. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, angry outbursts, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish, and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, selfishness, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and[ that] I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest[ there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me not what you wish. I am afraid that somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise my hurt.

For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting.For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.

Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth.Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?

Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not.Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?

Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority( which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts( and their mouth speaketh great swelling words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.

lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed.

For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;

What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
