吾遣兄弟、使爾有備、如余所言、恐吾讚爾之言、或歸於虛、

我遣兄弟、欲使爾有備、如我所言、免我於此事為爾所誇者歸於空虛、

吾今之所以先派兄弟者、亦欲爾等有備、庶幾吾所誇獎爾等之事、不成子虛烏有；

But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.

But I am sending the brothers. Then our bragging about you in this matter will have a good reason. You will be ready, just as I said you would be.

But I am sending the brothers so that our boasting about you may not prove empty in this matter, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be.

But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready, as I have been telling them, and that your money is all collected. I don’t want to be wrong in my boasting about you.

But I am sending the brothers so that our boasting about you in this matter would not prove empty, and so that you would be ready just as I said.

But I have sent the brothers, in order that our boasting about you may not prove empty in this case, so that, as I was saying, you will be prepared;

Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready;

But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:

But I sent the brothers so our boasting about you in the matter would not prove empty, and so you would be prepared just as I said.

Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

But I am sending these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready just as I kept telling them.

But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,

以致我勸提多既於爾中肇行此惠、亦當畢之、

論為聖徒捐金、如我命加拉太諸會者、爾亦宜行之、每七日之首日、各量其所入而蓄之、免我來時始捐也、我至時、爾書所許者、我則遣之、俾攜爾惠至耶路撒冷、我若宜往、彼則偕行、

我誇爾於提多者、今無愧矣、我嘗語爾者悉真、誇爾於彼者亦真、

彼固受我勸、且甚懇摯、自願就爾、我遣一兄弟偕之、乃於福音見譽諸會者、不第此也、亦為諸會所選、與我同行、司理所捐之惠、以彰主榮、且表我儕之願、免人以我司理多貲而咎我、蓋我務善事、不第於主前、亦於人前、又遣一兄弟偕往、我於諸事屢驗其慇懃、今以篤信爾曹而慇懃愈切、夫提多者、我侶也、為爾而同勞、二兄弟者、諸會之使、基督之榮也、故爾於諸會前、宜向之以彰爾愛、及我誇爾之證、

爾提撕彼眾、當服有位有權者而順從之、以備諸善、

亦恐馬其頓人偕來、見爾未備、致我因此篤信而啟羞、爾則無待言矣、故擬須請兄弟先詣爾、使爾昔所允之惠、預為之備、俾由樂輸、非由勉強也、○
