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:
Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, Ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,
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.
qui consolatur nos in omni tribulatione nostra: ut possimus et ipsi consolari eos, qui in omni pressura sunt, per exhortationem, qua exhortamur et ipsi a Deo.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
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.
Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, quæ operatur tolerantiam earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur:
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
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.
Non enim volumus ignorare vos fratres de tribulatione nostra, quæ facta est in Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut tæderet nos etiam vivere.
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,
Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
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,
qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
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.
adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multorum personis, eius quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ agantur pro nobis.
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.
Nam gloria nostra hæc est, testimonium conscientiæ nostræ, quod in simplicitate cordis et sinceritate Dei: et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Dei conversati sumus in hoc mundo: abundantius autem ad vos.
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—
Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
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.
sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
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.
et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Iudæam.
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?”
Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? Aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me EST, et NON?
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo EST, et NON.
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.”
Dei enim filius Iesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos prædicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit EST et NON, sed EST in illo fuit.
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.
Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo EST: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.
Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:
24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
