2 Corinthians 12
1 To boast (it behooves [me], *N(K)O*) not (is it profitable indeed, *N(K)O*) I will go on (however *N(k)O*) to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.
καυχασθαι δη ου συμφερει μοι ελευσομαι γαρ εις οπτασιας και αποκαλυψεις κυριου
2 I know a man in Christ ago years fourteen — whether in [the] body not I know, or out of the body not I know, God knows — having been caught up such a man until [the] third heaven.
οιδα ανθρωπον εν χριστω προ ετων δεκατεσσαρων ειτε εν σωματι ουκ οιδα ειτε εκτος του σωματος ουκ οιδα ο θεος οιδεν αρπαγεντα τον τοιουτον εως τριτου ουρανου
3 And I know such a man — whether in [the] body or (out of *N(k)O*) the body, not I know, God knows —
και οιδα τον τοιουτον ανθρωπον ειτε εν σωματι ειτε εκτος του σωματος ουκ οιδα ο θεος οιδεν
4 that he was caught up into Paradise and he heard inexpressible declaration which not being permitted to man to speak.
οτι ηρπαγη εις τον παραδεισον και ηκουσεν αρρητα ρηματα α ουκ εξον ανθρωπω λαλησαι
5 Concerning such a man I will boast, concerning however myself not I will boast only except in the weaknesses (of mine; *K*)
υπερ του τοιουτου καυχησομαι υπερ δε εμαυτου ου καυχησομαι ει μη εν ταις ασθενειαις μου
6 If for I shall desire to boast, not I will be a fool; [the] truth for I will be speaking; I refrain however lest anyone to me myself may credit more than what he sees in me, or hears anything of me
εαν γαρ θελησω καυχησασθαι ουκ εσομαι αφρων αληθειαν γαρ ερω φειδομαι δε μη τις εις εμε λογισηται υπερ ο βλεπει με η ακουει τι εξ εμου
7 and the by surpassingness of the revelations. (Therefore *NO*) that not I may become conceited, was given to me a thorn in [my] flesh, a messenger of Satan that me he may buffet so that not I may become conceited.
και τη υπερβολη των αποκαλυψεων ινα μη υπεραιρωμαι εδοθη μοι σκολοψ τη σαρκι αγγελος σαταν ινα με κολαφιζη ινα μη υπεραιρωμαι
8 For this three times the Lord I begged that it may depart from me.
υπερ τουτου τρις τον κυριον παρεκαλεσα ινα αποστη απ εμου
9 And He has said to me; Suffices you the grace of Mine; the for power (of mine *K*) in weakness (is finished. *N(k)O*) Most gladly therefore rather will I boast in the weaknesses of mine, so that may rest upon me myself the power of Christ.
και ειρηκεν μοι αρκει σοι η χαρις μου η γαρ δυναμις μου εν ασθενεια τελειουται ηδιστα ουν μαλλον καυχησομαι εν ταις ασθενειαις μου ινα επισκηνωση επ εμε η δυναμις του χριστου
10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions (and *N(k)O*) difficulties for Christ; when for I may be weak then strong I am.
διο ευδοκω εν ασθενειαις εν υβρεσιν εν αναγκαις εν διωγμοις εν στενοχωριαις υπερ χριστου οταν γαρ ασθενω τοτε δυνατος ειμι
11 I have become a fool (boasting; *K*) you yourselves me compelled. I myself for was being obliged by you to have been commended; [In] no[thing] for was I inferior to those most eminent most eminent apostles, if even no [thing] I am.
γεγονα αφρων καυχωμενος υμεις με ηναγκασατε εγω γαρ ωφειλον υφ υμων συνιστασθαι ουδεν γαρ υστερησα των υπερ λιαν αποστολων ει και ουδεν ειμι
12 The indeed signs of the apostle were performed among you in all perseverance, (in *k*) signs (both *no*) and in wonders and in miracles.
τα μεν σημεια του αποστολου κατειργασθη εν υμιν εν παση υπομονη εν σημειοις και τερασιν και δυναμεσιν
13 In what for is it that you were inferior beyond the rest [of the] churches, only except that myself I myself not did burden you? do forgive me wrong this!
τι γαρ εστιν ο ηττηθητε υπερ τας λοιπας εκκλησιας ει μη οτι αυτος εγω ου κατεναρκησα υμων χαρισασθε μοι την αδικιαν ταυτην
14 Behold third time (this *no*) ready I am to come to you and not I will burden (you; *k*) not for I seek what [is] yours but you. Not for ought the children for the parents to treasure up but the parents for the children;
ιδου τριτον ετοιμως εχω ελθειν προς υμας και ου καταναρκησω υμων ου γαρ ζητω τα υμων αλλ υμας ου γαρ οφειλει τα τεκνα τοις γονευσιν θησαυριζειν αλλ οι γονεις τοις τεκνοις
15 I myself now most gladly will spend and I will be utterly spent for the souls of you, If (even *k*) more abundantly you (loving *NK(o)*) (less *N(k)O*) I am loved!
εγω δε ηδιστα δαπανησω και εκδαπανηθησομαι υπερ των ψυχων υμων ει και περισσοτερως υμας αγαπων ηττον αγαπωμαι
16 it should be however, I myself not did burden you; but being crafty by trickery you I caught.
εστω δε εγω ου κατεβαρησα υμας αλλ υπαρχων πανουργος δολω υμας ελαβον
17 Surely not any of whom I have sent to you, through him did I exploit you?
μη τινα ων απεσταλκα προς υμας δι αυτου επλεονεκτησα υμας
18 I urged Titus [to go] and sent with [him] the brother; surely not ever did exploit you Titus? Surely in the same spirit did we walk? Not in the same steps?
παρεκαλεσα τιτον και συναπεστειλα τον αδελφον μη τι επλεονεκτησεν υμας τιτος ου τω αυτω πνευματι περιεπατησαμεν ου τοις αυτοις ιχνεσιν
19 (Previously *N(K)O*) you have been thinking that to you we are presenting a defense. (before *N(k)O*) (*k*) God in Christ we speak. but all things, beloved, for your edification.
παλιν δοκειτε οτι υμιν απολογουμεθα κατενωπιον του θεου εν χριστω λαλουμεν τα δε παντα αγαπητοι υπερ της υμων οικοδομης
20 I fear for lest perhaps having come not such as I wish I may find you, and I myself and I myself may be found by you such as not you do wish, lest perhaps (a quarrel, jealousy, *N(k)O*) anger, contentions slander, gossip, conceit, disorder,
φοβουμαι γαρ μηπως ελθων ουχ οιους θελω ευρω υμας καγω ευρεθω υμιν οιον ου θελετε μηπως ερεις ζηλοι θυμοι εριθειαι καταλαλιαι ψιθυρισμοι φυσιωσεις ακαταστασιαι
21 lest again (when was coming *N(k)O*) (I *no*) (he may humble *NK(o)*) me the God, of mine before you, and I may mourn over many of those having sinned before and not having repented of the impurity and of sexual immorality and of sensuality that they have practiced.
μη παλιν ελθοντα με ταπεινωση ο θεος μου προς υμας και πενθησω πολλους των προημαρτηκοτων και μη μετανοησαντων επι τη ακαθαρσια και πορνεια και ασελγεια η επραξαν
