2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

παυλος αποστολος χριστου ιησου 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 [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the 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 is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves 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 because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

οτι καθως περισσευει τα παθηματα του χριστου εις ημας ουτως δια του χριστου περισσευει και η παρακλησις ημων

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

ειτε δε θλιβομεθα υπερ της υμων παρακλησεως και σωτηριας ειτε παρακαλουμεθα υπερ της υμων παρακλησεως της ενεργουμενης εν υπομονη των αυτων παθηματων ων και ημεις πασχομεν και η ελπις ημων βεβαια υπερ υμων

7 and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.

ειδοτες οτι ως κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτως και της παρακλησεως

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we despaired even of life;

ου γαρ θελομεν υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι υπερ της θλιψεως ημων της γενομενης εν τη ασια οτι καθ υπερβολην υπερ δυναμιν εβαρηθημεν ωστε εξαπορηθηναι ημας και του ζην

9 but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising 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 out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

ος εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημας και ρυσεται εις ον ηλπικαμεν [οτι] και ετι ρυσεται

11 ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us.

συνυπουργουντων και υμων υπερ ημων τη δεησει ινα εκ πολλων προσωπων το εις ημας χαρισμα δια πολλων ευχαριστηθη υπερ ημων

12 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

η γαρ καυχησις ημων αυτη εστιν το μαρτυριον της συνειδησεως ημων οτι εν {VAR1: αγιοτητι } {VAR2: απλοτητι } και ειλικρινεια του θεου [και] ουκ εν σοφια σαρκικη αλλ εν χαριτι θεου ανεστραφημεν εν τω κοσμω περισσοτερως δε προς υμας

13 for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,

ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι εως τελους επιγνωσεσθε

14 according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus;

καθως και επεγνωτε ημας απο μερους οτι καυχημα υμων εσμεν καθαπερ και υμεις ημων εν τη ημερα του κυριου {VAR1: ημων } {VAR2: [ημων] } ιησου

15 and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,

και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην προτερον προς υμας ελθειν ινα δευτεραν {VAR1: χαραν } {VAR2: χαριν } σχητε

16 and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to Judea.

και δι υμων διελθειν εις μακεδονιαν και παλιν απο μακεδονιας ελθειν προς υμας και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εις την ιουδαιαν

17 This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

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

18 and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,

πιστος δε ο θεος οτι ο λογος ημων ο προς υμας ουκ εστιν ναι και ου

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached — through me and Silvanus and Timotheus — did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes;

ο του θεου γαρ υιος {VAR1: χριστος ιησους } {VAR2: 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 as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

οσαι γαρ επαγγελιαι θεου εν αυτω το ναι διο και δι αυτου το αμην τω θεω προς δοξαν δι ημων

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,

ο δε βεβαιων ημας συν υμιν εις χριστον και χρισας ημας θεος

22 who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

{VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } και σφραγισαμενος ημας και δους τον αρραβωνα του πνευματος εν ταις καρδιαις ημων

23 And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;

εγω δε μαρτυρα τον θεον επικαλουμαι επι την εμην ψυχην οτι φειδομενος υμων ουκετι ηλθον εις κορινθον

24 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων της πιστεως αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν της χαρας υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
