2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου δια θεληματοσ θεου και τιμοθεοσ ο αδελφοσ τη εκκλησια του θεου τη ουση εν κορινθω συν τοισ αγιοισ πασιν τοισ ουσιν εν ολη τη αχαια

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

ευλογητοσ ο θεοσ και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ των οικτιρμων και θεοσ πασησ παρακλησεωσ

4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

ο παρακαλων ημασ επι παση τη θλιψει ημων εισ το δυνασθαι ημασ παρακαλειν τουσ εν παση θλιψει δια τησ παρακλησεωσ ησ παρακαλουμεθα αυτοι υπο του θεου

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

οτι καθωσ περισσευει τα παθηματα του χριστου εισ ημασ ουτωσ δια του χριστου περισσευει και η παρακλησισ ημων

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

ειτε δε θλιβομεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ τησ ενεργουμενησ εν υπομονη των αυτων παθηματων ων και ημεισ πασχομεν και η ελπισ ημων βεβαια υπερ υμων ειτε παρακαλουμεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ

7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

ειδοτεσ οτι ωσπερ κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτωσ και τησ παρακλησεωσ

8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

ου γαρ θελομεν υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι υπερ τησ θλιψεωσ ημων τησ γενομενησ ημιν εν τη ασια οτι καθ υπερβολην εβαρηθημεν υπερ δυναμιν ωστε εξαπορηθηναι ημασ και του ζην

9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

αλλα αυτοι εν εαυτοισ το αποκριμα του θανατου εσχηκαμεν ινα μη πεποιθοτεσ ωμεν εφ εαυτοισ αλλ επι τω θεω τω εγειροντι τουσ νεκρουσ

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,

οσ εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημασ και ρυεται εισ ον ηλπικαμεν οτι και ετι ρυσεται

11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

συνυπουργουντων και υμων υπερ ημων τη δεησει ινα εκ πολλων προσωπων το εισ ημασ χαρισμα δια πολλων ευχαριστηθη υπερ υμων

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

η γαρ καυχησισ ημων αυτη εστιν το μαρτυριον τησ συνειδησεωσ ημων οτι εν απλοτητι και ειλικρινεια θεου ουκ εν σοφια σαρκικη αλλ εν χαριτι θεου ανεστραφημεν εν τω κοσμω περισσοτερωσ δε προσ υμασ

13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—

ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι και εωσ τελουσ επιγνωσεσθε

14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

καθωσ και επεγνωτε ημασ απο μερουσ οτι καυχημα υμων εσμεν καθαπερ και υμεισ ημων εν τη ημερα του κυριου ιησου

15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην ελθειν προσ υμασ το προτερον ινα δευτεραν χαριν εχητε

16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

και δι υμων διελθειν εισ μακεδονιαν και παλιν απο μακεδονιασ ελθειν προσ υμασ και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εισ την ιουδαιαν

17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

τουτο ουν βουλευομενοσ μητι αρα τη ελαφρια εχρησαμην η α βουλευομαι κατα σαρκα βουλευομαι ινα η παρ εμοι το ναι ναι και το ου ου

18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

πιστοσ δε ο θεοσ οτι ο λογοσ ημων ο προσ υμασ ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

ο γαρ του θεου υιοσ ιησουσ χριστοσ ο εν υμιν δι ημων κηρυχθεισ δι εμου και σιλουανου και τιμοθεου ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου αλλα ναι εν αυτω γεγονεν

20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

οσαι γαρ επαγγελιαι θεου εν αυτω το ναι και εν αυτω το αμην τω θεω προσ δοξαν δι ημων

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

ο δε βεβαιων ημασ συν υμιν εισ χριστον και χρισασ ημασ θεοσ

22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

ο και σφραγισαμενοσ ημασ και δουσ τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων

23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.

εγω δε μαρτυρα τον θεον επικαλουμαι επι την εμην ψυχην οτι φειδομενοσ υμων ουκετι ηλθον εισ κορινθον

24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων τησ πιστεωσ αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν τησ χαρασ υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
