ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

2:1

Πάντες τε ἐταπεινοφρονεῖτε μηδὲν ἀλαζονευόμενοι, ὑποτασσόμενοι μᾶλλον ἦ ὑποτάσσοντες, ἥδιον διδόντες ἢ λαμβάνοντες. τοῖς ἐφοδίοις τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀρκούμενοι, καὶ προσέχοντες τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ ἐπιμελῶς ἐνεστερνισμένοι ἥτε τοῖς σπλάγχνοις, καὶ τὰ παθήματα αὐτοῦ ἦν πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν

You were all humble-minded, in no way boastful, submitting yourselves rather than subjecting others, giving more gladly than receiving. Content with the provisions of Christ, and attentively heeding His words, you cherished them deep in your hearts, and His sufferings were before your eyes.

你們眾人都存謙卑的心，毫不自誇，寧可順服別人，不願轄管別人，施捨比接受更喜樂。你們以基督的供給為足，殷勤留意祂的話，把它們藏在心懷裡，並且祂的受苦常在你們眼前。

2:2

οὕτως εἰρήνη βαθεῖα καὶ λιπαρὰ ἐδέδοτο πᾶσιν καὶ ἀκόρεστος πόθος εἰς ἀγαθοποιΐαν, καὶ πλήρης πνεύματος ἁγίου ἔκχυσις ἐπὶ πάντας ἐγίνετο:

Thus a deep and rich peace was given to all, and an insatiable longing for doing good, and a full outpouring of the Holy Spirit came upon all.

於是深厚豐盈的平安賜給了眾人，又有那永不滿足、渴慕行善的心，並且聖靈豐沛地澆灌在眾人身上。

2:3

μεστοί τε ὁσίας βουλῆς, ἐν ἀγαθῇ προθυμίᾳ μετ̓ εὐσεβοῦς πεποιθήσεως ἐξετείνετε τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν πρὸς τὸν παντοκράτορα θεόν, ἱκετεύοντες αὐτὸν ἵλέως γενέσθαι, εἴ τι ἄκοντες ἡμάρτετε

Full of holy counsel, with good zeal and devout confidence you stretched out your hands to God Almighty, beseeching Him to be merciful if you had unwittingly committed any sin.

你們滿了聖潔的心願，以良善的熱忱和虔誠的把握，向全能的神舉起雙手，懇求祂施恩憐憫，倘若你們有無心所犯的過失。

2:4

ἀγὼν ἦν ὑμῖν ἡμέρας τε καὶ νυκτὸς ὑπὲρ πάσης τῆς ἀδελφότητος, εἰς τὸ σώζεσθαι μετ̓ ἐλέους καὶ συνειδήσεως τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ

Day and night you strove on behalf of the whole brotherhood, that the number of His elect might be saved with mercy and a good conscience.

你們晝夜為全體弟兄竭力爭戰，使祂選民的數目得以憑著憐憫和善良的良心得救。

2:5

εἰλικρινεῖς καὶ ἀκέραιοι ἦτε καὶ ἀμνησίκακοι εἰς ἀλλήλους

You were sincere and innocent, and bore no malice toward one another.

你們真誠純潔，彼此之間不記仇怨。

2:6

πᾶσα στάσις καὶ πᾶν σχίσμα βδελυκτὸν ἦν ὑμῖν. ἐπὶ τοῖς παραπτώμασιν τῶν πλησίον ἐπενθεῖτε: τὰ ὑστερήματα αὐτῶν ἴδια ἐκρίνετε

Every faction and every schism was abominable to you. You mourned over the transgressions of your neighbors; their shortcomings you reckoned as your own.

一切紛爭、一切分裂，你們都看為可憎。你們為鄰舍的過犯哀傷；他們的缺欠，你們當作自己的缺欠看待。

2:7

ἀμεταμέλητοι ἦτε ἐπὶ πάσῃ ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ, ἕτοιμοι εἰς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν

You were without regret in all your well-doing, ready for every good work.

你們行各樣善事毫不後悔，預備行各樣的善工。

2:8

τῇ παναρέτῳ καὶ σεβασμίῳ πολιτείᾳ κεκοσμημένοι πάντα ἐν τῷ φόβῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπετελεῖτε: τὰ προστάγματα καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα τοῦ κυρίου ἐπὶ τὰ πλάτη τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἐγέγραπτο

Adorned with a most virtuous and reverent manner of life, you performed all things in the fear of Him; the commandments and ordinances of the Lord were written upon the tablets of your heart.

你們以滿有美德、令人敬畏的品行為妝飾，凡事都存著敬畏祂的心去行；主的誡命和律例都刻在你們的心版上。
