2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of 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 [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
ευλογητος ο θεος και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ των οικτιρμων και θεος πασης παρακλησεως
4 who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of 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, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
οτι καθως περισσευει τα παθηματα του χριστου εις ημας ουτως δια του χριστου περισσευει και η παρακλησις ημων
6 But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,
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 for you [is] sure; ) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
ειδοτες οτι ως κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτως και της παρακλησεως
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
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 had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our 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 has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
ος εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημας και ρυσεται εις ον ηλπικαμεν [οτι] και ετι ρυσεται
11 ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many 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 boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace, ) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards 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 we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι εως τελους επιγνωσεσθε
14 even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as 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 with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην προτερον προς υμας ελθειν ινα δευτεραν {VAR1: χαραν } {VAR2: χαριν } σχητε
16 and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
και δι υμων διελθειν εις μακεδονιαν και παλιν απο μακεδονιας ελθειν προς υμας και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εις την ιουδαιαν
17 Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
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 Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
πιστος δε ο θεος οτι ο λογος ημων ο προς υμας ουκ εστιν ναι και ου
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.
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 whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
οσαι γαρ επαγγελιαι θεου εν αυτω το ναι διο και δι αυτου το αμην τω θεω προς δοξαν δι ημων
21 Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
ο δε βεβαιων ημας συν υμιν εις χριστον και χρισας ημας θεος
22 who also has sealed us, and given 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 But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
εγω δε μαρτυρα τον θεον επικαλουμαι επι την εμην ψυχην οτι φειδομενος υμων ουκετι ηλθον εις κορινθον
24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων της πιστεως αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν της χαρας υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
