2 Corinthians 1

1 Poul, apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the wille of God, and Tymothe, brothir, to the chirche of God that is at Corinthi, with alle seyntis that ben in al Acaie, grace to you,

Paul, an apostle of Yahushua the Messiah by the will of YHWH, and Timothy our brother, unto the assembly of YHWH which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

2 and pees of God oure fadir and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.

Favour be to you and peace from YHWH our Father, and from the Master Yahushua the Messiah.

3 Blessid be God and the fadir of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, fadir of mercies, and God of al coumfort,

Blessed be YHWH, even the Father of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, the Father of mercies, and the Elohim of all comfort;

4 which coumfortith vs in al oure tribulacioun, that also we moun coumforte hem, that ben in al diseese, bi the monestyng bi which also we ben monestid of God.

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of Elohim.

5 For as the passiouns of Crist ben plenteuouse in vs, so also bi Crist oure coumfort is plenteuouse.

For as the sufferings of the Messiah abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by the Messiah.

6 And whether we ben in tribulacioun, for youre tribulacioun and heelthe, ethir we ben coumfortid, for youre coumfort, ethir we ben monestid, for youre monestyng and heelthe. Which worchith in you the suffring of the same passiouns, whiche `we also suffren,

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

7 that oure hope be sad for you; witynge for as ye ben felowis of passiouns, so ye schulen ben also of coumfort.

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

8 For, britheren, we wolen that ye wite of oure tribulacioun, that was don in Asie; for ouer maner we weren greued ouer myyt, so that it anoiede vs, yhe, to lyue.

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

9 But we in vs silf hadden answere of deth, that we truste not in vs, but in God that reisith deed men.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in YHWH which raiseth the dead:

10 Which delyuerede vs, and delyuerith fro so grete perelis, in to whom we hopen, also yit he schal delyuere,

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

11 while also ye helpen in preier for vs; that of the persones of many faces of that yyuyng that is in vs, thankyngis ben don for vs bi many men to God.

Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

12 For oure glorie is this, the witnessyng of oure conscience, that in symplenesse and clennesse of God, and not in fleischli wisdom, but in the grace of God, we lyueden in this world, but more plenteuousli to you.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and purity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the favour of YHWH, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

13 And we writen not othere thingis to you, than tho that ye han red and knowe, and Y hope that in to the ende ye schulen knowe,

For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

14 as also ye han knowe vs a parti; for we ben youre glorie, as also ye ben oure in the dai of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.

As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Master Yahushua.

15 And in this tristyng Y wolde first come to you, that ye schulden haue the secounde grace,

And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;

16 and passe bi you in to Macedonye, and eft fro Macedonye come to you, and of you be led in to Judee.

And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.

17 But whanne Y wolde this thing, whether Y vside vnstidfastnesse, ether tho thingis that Y thenke, Y thenke aftir the fleisch, that at me be, it is and it is not?

When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

18 But God is trewe, for oure word that was at you is and is not, is not ther ynne, but is is in it.

But as YHWH is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

19 For whi Jhesus Crist, the sone of God, which is prechid among you bi vs, bi me, and Syluan, and Tymothe, ther was not in hym is and is not, but is was in hym.

For the Son of YHWH, Yahushua the Messiah, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

20 For whi hou many euer ben biheestis of God, in thilke is, `that is, ben fillid. And therfor and bi hym we seien amen to God, to oure glorie.

For all the promises of YHWH in him are yea, and in him amein, unto the glory of YHWH by us.

21 Sotheli it is God that confermeth vs with you in Crist, and the which God anoyntide vs,

Now he which stablisheth us with you in the Messiah, and hath anointed us, is YHWH;

22 and which markide vs, and yaf ernes of the spirit in oure hertis.

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

23 For Y clepide God to witnesse ayens my soule, that Y sparynge you cam not ouer to Corynthe;

Moreover I call YHWH for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

24 not that we ben lordis of youre feith, but we ben helperis of youre ioye; for thorouy bileue ye stonden.

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
