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:

Paulus apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei et Timotheus frater ecclesiae Dei quae est Corinthi cum sanctis omnibus 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 [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi Pater misericordiarum et Deus totius consolationis

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;

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 because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra

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;

sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione quae operatur in tolerantia earundem passionum quas et nos patimur

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

et spes nostra firma pro vobis scientes quoniam sicut socii passionum estis sic eritis et consolationis

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;

non enim volumus ignorare vos fratres de tribulatione nostra quae facta est in Asia quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem ita ut taederet nos etiam vivere

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,

sed ipsi in nobis ipsis responsum mortis habuimus ut non simus fidentes in nobis sed in Deo qui suscitat mortuos

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;

qui de tantis periculis eripuit nos et eruet in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet

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.

adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis ut ex multis personis eius quae in nobis est donationis per multos gratiae agantur pro nobis

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;

nam gloria nostra haec est testimonium conscientiae nostrae quod in simplicitate et sinceritate Dei et non in sapientia carnali sed in gratia Dei conversati sumus in mundo abundantius autem ad vos

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,

non enim alia scribimus vobis quam quae legistis et cognoscitis spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis

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;

sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte quia gloria vestra sumus sicut et vos nostra in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi

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

et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos ut secundam gratiam haberetis

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.

et per vos transire in Macedoniam et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos et a vobis deduci in Iudaeam

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?

cum hoc ergo voluissem numquid levitate usus sum aut quae cogito secundum carnem cogito ut sit apud me est et non

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

fidelis autem Deus quia sermo noster qui fit apud vos non est in illo est et non

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;

Dei enim Filius Iesus Christus qui in vobis per nos praedicatus est per me et Silvanum et Timotheum non fuit est et non sed est in illo fuit

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;

quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt in illo est ideo et per ipsum amen Deo ad gloriam nostram

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

qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christum et qui unxit nos Deus

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

et qui signavit nos et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris

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

ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam quod parcens vobis non veni ultra Corinthum

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

non quia dominamur fidei vestrae sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri nam fide stetistis
