2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy, to the church of God which is at Corinth, along with all the saints who are in all Achaia:
Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, et Timotheus frater, Ecclesiæ Dei, quæ est Corinthi cum omnibus sanctis, qui sunt in universa Achaia.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation;
Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiarum, et Deus totius consolationis,
4 the one comforting us in all our tribulation, in order that we may be able to comfort those in all tribulation, through the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted of 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 Christ abound in us, so our consolation through Christ also abounds.
Quoniam sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abundat consolatio nostra.
6 But if we are troubled it is in behalf of your consolation and salvation; if we are comforted, it is in behalf of your consolation, working in you through the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
Sive autem tribulamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, sive consolamur pro vestra consolatione, sive exhortamur pro vestra exhortatione et salute, quæ operatur tolerantiam earundem passionum, quas et nos patimur:
7 And our hope is stedfast in your behalf; knowing that, as you are the partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the consolation.
ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: scientes quod sicut socii passionum estis, sic eritis et consolationis.
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction taking place in Asia, because we were burthened exceedingly, above our power, so that we despaired even of living:
Non enim volumus ignorare vos fratres de tribulatione nostra, quæ facta est in Asia, quoniam supra modum gravati sumus supra virtutem, ita ut tæderet nos etiam vivere.
9 but we had the answer of death in ourselves, in order that we might not trust in ourselves, but in God who raised the dead:
Sed ipsi in nobismetipsis responsum mortis habuimus, ut non simus fidentes in nobis, sed in Deo, qui suscitat mortuos:
10 who delivered us from so great a death, and will deliver: in whom he have hope that he will also yet deliver;
qui de tantis periculis nos eripuit, et eruit: in quem speramus quoniam et adhuc eripiet,
11 you also cooperating in our behalf in prayer; in order that, the gift which is bestowed upon us from many persons, may through many be a source of thanks given in our behalf.
adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis: ut ex multorum personis, eius quæ in nobis est donationis, per multos gratiæ agantur pro nobis.
12 For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and purity of God, not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have sojourned in the world, and especially towards you.
Nam gloria nostra hæc est, testimonium conscientiæ nostræ, 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.
13 For we do not write other things to you, but those things which you read and know, and I hope that you will know them perfectly:
Non enim alia scribimus vobis, quam quæ legistis, et cognovistis. Spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis,
14 as you have also known us in part, because we are your glorying, as you ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte, quod gloria vestra sumus, sicut et vos nostra, in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
15 And in this confidence I wished to come unto you sooner, that you may have a second grace;
Et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos, ut secundum gratiam haberetis:
16 and through you to go unto Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent forward into Judea.
et per vos transire in Macedoniam, et iterum a Macedonia venire ad vos, et a vobis deduci in Iudæam.
17 Then wishing this, whether did I use lightness of purpose? or the things which I counsel, do I counsel according to the flesh, in order that it may be with me yes yes and no no?
Cum ergo hoc voluissem, numquid levitate usus sum? Aut quæ cogito, secundum carnem cogito, ut sit apud me EST, et NON?
18 But God is faithful, that our word which is to you is not yes and no.
Fidelis autem Deus, quia sermo noster, qui fuit apud vos, non est in illo EST, et NON.
19 For Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the one being preached by us, through me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but it was yes in him.
Dei enim Filius Iesus Christus, qui in vobis per nos prædicatus est, per me, et Silvanum, et Timotheum, non fuit EST et NON, sed EST in illo fuit.
20 For so many promises of God, in Him are yes; therefore indeed through him they are Amen unto the glory to God through us.
Quotquot enim promissiones Dei sunt, in illo EST: ideo et per ipsum Amen Deo ad gloriam nostram.
21 But the one confirming us along with you unto Christ, and having anointed us, is God.
Qui autem confirmat nos vobiscum in Christo, et qui unxit nos Deus:
22 Who also having sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
qui et signavit nos, et dedit pignus Spiritus in cordibus nostris.
23 But I call God to witness to my soul, that sparing you I did not yet come into Corinth:
Ego autem testem Deum invoco in animam meam, quod parcens vobis, non veni ultra Corinthum:
24 not that we domineer over your faith, but we are fellow-workers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
non quia dominamur fidei vestæ, sed adiutores sumus gaudii vestri: nam fide statis.
