Corinthios Ii 7

1 Has ergo habentes promissiones, charissimi, mundemus nos ab omni inquinamento carnis, et spiritus perficientes sanctificationem in timore Dei.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Capite nos. Neminem laesimus, neminem corrupimus, neminem circumvenimus.

Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

3 Non ad condemnationem vestram dico. praediximus enim quod in cordibus nostris estis ad commoriendum, et ad convivendum.

I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you].

4 Multa mihi fiducia est apud vos, multa mihi gloriatio pro vobis, repletus sum consolatione, superabundo gaudio in omni tribulatione vestra.

Great [is] my boldness of speech toward you, great [is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

5 Nam et cum venissemus in Macedoniam, nullam requiem habuit caro nostra, sed omnem tribulationem passi sumus: foris pugnae, intus timores.

For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without [were] fightings, within [were] fears.

6 Sed qui consolatur humiles, consolatus est nos Deus in adventu Titi.

Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 Non solum autem in adventu eius, sed etiam in consolatione, qua consolatus est in vobis, referens nobis vestrum desiderium, vestrum fletum, vestram aemulationem pro me, ita ut magis gauderem.

And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

8 Quoniam etsi contristavi vos in epistola, non me poenitet: etsi poeniteret, videns quod epistola illa (etsi ad horam) vos contristavit;

For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though [it were] but for a season.

9 nunc gaudeo: non quia contristati estis, sed quia contristati estis ad poenitentiam. Contristati enim estis ad Deum, ut in nullo detrimentum patiamini ex nobis.

Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

10 Quae enim secundum Deum tristitia est, poenitentiam in salutem stabilem operatur: saeculi autem tristitia mortem operatur.

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11 Ecce enim hoc ipsum, secundum Deum contristari vos, quantam in vobis operatur solicitudinem: sed defensionem, sed indignationem, sed timorem, sed desiderium, sed aemulationem, sed vindictam. in omnibus exhibuistis vos, incontaminatos esse negotio.

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, [what] clearing of yourselves, yea, [what] indignation, yea, [what] fear, yea, [what] vehement desire, yea, [what] zeal, yea, [what] revenge! In all [things] ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

12 Igitur, etsi scripsi vobis, non propter eum, qui fecit iniuriam, nec propter eum, qui passus est: sed ad manifestandam solicitudinem nostram, quam habemus pro vobis

Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, [I did it] not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

13 coram Deo: ideo consolati sumus. In consolatione autem nostra, abundantius magis gavisi sumus super gaudio Titi, quia refectus est spiritus eius ab omnibus vobis.

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

14 et si quid apud illum de vobis gloriatus sum, non sum confusus: sed sicut omnia vobis in veritate locuti sumus, ita et gloriatio nostra, quae fuit ad Titum, veritas facta est,

For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which [I made] before Titus, is found a truth.

15 et viscera eius abundantius in vobis sunt: reminiscentis omnium vestrum obedientiam: quomodo cum timore, et tremore excepistis illum.

And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

16 Gaudeo quod in omnibus confido in vobis.

I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all [things.]
