2 Corinthians 1

1 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 holy ones who are in all 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 [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all comfort,

ευλογητος ο θεος και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ των οικτιρμων και θεος πασης παρακλησεως

4 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;

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, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so through the Christ our comfort also abounds;

οτι καθως περισσευει τα παθηματα του χριστου εις ημας ουτως δια του χριστου περισσευει και η παρακλησις ημων

6 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort and salvation, that is worked in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it is] for your comfort and salvation;

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 [is] steadfast for you, knowing that even as you are partakers of the sufferings—so also of the comfort.

ειδοτες οτι ως κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτως και της παρακλησεως

8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we even despaired of life;

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 have had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising 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 delivered us out of so great a death, and delivers, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

ος εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημας και ρυσεται εις ον ηλπικαμεν [οτι] και ετι ρυσεται

11 you also working together for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many, may be thankfully acknowledged 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 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 conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward 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 no other things do we write to you, but what you either read or also acknowledge, and I hope that you will also acknowledge to the end,

ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι εως τελους επιγνωσεσθε

14 according as you also acknowledged us in part, that we are your glory, even as also you [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 in this confidence I was intending to come to you before, that you might have a second favor,

και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην προτερον προς υμας ελθειν ινα δευτεραν {VAR1: χαραν } {VAR2: χαριν } σχητε

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

και δι υμων διελθειν εις μακεδονιαν και παλιν απο μακεδονιας ελθειν προς υμας και υφ υμων προπεμφθηναι εις την ιουδαιαν

17 This, therefore, intending, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, [did] I counsel according to the flesh, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

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 And God [is] faithful, that our word to you did not become Yes and No,

πιστος δε ο θεος οτι ο λογος ημων ο προς υμας ουκ εστιν ναι και ου

19 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been preached through us among you—through me and Silvanus and Timotheus—did not become Yes and No, but in Him it has become Yes;

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

οσαι γαρ επαγγελιαι θεου εν αυτω το ναι διο και δι αυτου το αμην τω θεω προς δοξαν δι ημων

21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and anointed us, [is] God,

ο δε βεβαιων ημας συν υμιν εις χριστον και χρισας ημας θεος

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

{VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } και σφραγισαμενος ημας και δους τον αρραβωνα του πνευματος εν ταις καρδιαις ημων

23 And I call on God for a witness on my soul, that sparing you, I did not come to Corinth yet;

εγω δε μαρτυρα τον θεον επικαλουμαι επι την εμην ψυχην οτι φειδομενος υμων ουκετι ηλθον εις κορινθον

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

ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων της πιστεως αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν της χαρας υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
