Corinthios Ii 1

1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, Ecclesiae Dei, quae est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.

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:

2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,

Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

4 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.

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;

5 Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.

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

6 Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione, quae operatur tolerantiam earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur:

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;

7 ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.

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

8 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.

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;

9 Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:

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,

10 qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,

who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

11 adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multarum personis facierum eius quae in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiae agantur pro nobis.

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.

12 Nam gloria nostra haec est, testimonium conscientiae nostrae, quod in simplicitate cordis et sinceritate Dei: et non in sapientia carnali, sed in gratia Dei conversati sumus in hoc mundo: abundantius autem ad vos.

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;

13 Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quae legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,

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,

14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi.

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;

15 Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:

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

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

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

17 Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? Aut quae cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me EST, et NON?

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?

18 Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo EST, et NON sed est in illo EST.

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

19 Dei enim filius Iesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos praedicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit in illo EST et NON, sed EST in illo fuit.

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;

20 Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo EST: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.

for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

21 Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:

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

22 qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.

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

23 Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:

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

24 non quia dominamur fidei vestae, sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.

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