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、

但我打发那几位弟兄去，要叫你们照我的话预备妥当，免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空。

但我差遣那几位弟兄去，要使你们照我的话预备妥当，免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空。

但我差遣那几位弟兄去，要使你们照我的话预备妥当，免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空。

现在我先派这几位弟兄到你们那里，以便你们把捐款预备好，正如我所说的那样，免得我们在这件事上夸耀你们的话成了虚言。

我派了那几位弟兄前来，为了要使我们在这事上对你们的称赞不至落空，好让你们可以照着我所说的准备妥当，

不过我派这些弟兄去，是为了我们在这方面对你们的夸耀不至于落空，好让你们能照着我所说的准备好；

但我打發那幾位弟兄去，要叫你們照我的話預備妥當，免得我們在這事上誇獎你們的話落了空。

現在我先派這幾位弟兄到你們那裡，以便你們把捐款預備好，正如我所說的那樣，免得我們在這件事上誇耀你們的話成了虛言。

我派了那幾位弟兄前來，為了要使我們在這事上對你們的稱讚不至落空，好讓你們可以照著我所說的準備妥當，

不過我還打發那幾位弟兄去，好叫我們在這方面所誇獎你們的不至於落了空，好叫你們照我屢次所說的豫備好了。

不過我派這些弟兄去，是為了我們在這方面對你們的誇耀不至於落空，好讓你們能照著我所說的準備好；

今我遣兄弟、使爾有備、如我所言、免我為爾之誇歸於虛也、

吾遣兄弟、使爾有備、如余所言、恐吾讚爾之言、或歸於虛、

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,

故我勸提多既於爾中首勸施惠捐貲、亦當畢此事、

論及為聖徒捐貲之事、我前如何命迦拉太諸會、爾亦當如此行、每七日之首日、各當循主祐爾所獲之利、捐輸而積於家、免我來時始捐、我來時、有爾所選之人、我即以書託之、遣之攜爾之捐貲、至耶路撒冷、若以為我亦當往、則彼可與我同往、

我曾於提多前為爾而誇、今無愧矣、我素告爾之言皆真、於提多前所誇者亦真、

彼受我勸、甚殷勤樂意就爾、我亦遣一弟與提多偕往、彼因福音、為諸教會所稱譽者、不但此也、亦為諸教會所選、與我同行、送我所集之捐貲、歸榮於主、亦表爾樂捐之心、免人因我所集多金謗我、我儕務善、不但在主前、在人前亦若是、又遣一弟同往、我於諸事、屢試之而知其殷勤、今彼甚信爾、故殷勤更切、論提多、乃我之伴侶、為爾而同勞、論兩弟、乃諸教會之使、顯彰基督之榮者、故爾曹在彼及諸教會前、當表明爾之愛、與我為爾所誇者、

爾當勸人記憶服於執政者、秉權者、順從其命、隨時有備、行諸善事、

又恐瑪其頓人與我同來、見爾未備、則使我因信爾而誇者有愧、爾愧更無庸言、故我以為當請彼數兄弟、先至爾處、將前所許之捐貲、預備以待、致明爾所備者、乃爾樂捐、非出勉強、
