< 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 saints who are in all Achaia:
παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου 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 the 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 do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;
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 wrought 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 τησ ενεργουμενησ εν υπομονη των αυτων παθηματων ων και ημεισ πασχομεν και η ελπισ ημων βεβαια υπερ υμων ειτε παρακαλουμεθα υπερ τησ υμων παρακλησεωσ και σωτηριασ
7 and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings — so also of the comfort.
ειδοτεσ οτι ωσπερ κοινωνοι εστε των παθηματων ουτωσ και τησ παρακλησεωσ
8 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;
ου γαρ θελομεν υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι υπερ τησ θλιψεωσ ημων τησ γενομενησ ημιν εν τη ασια οτι καθ υπερβολην εβαρηθημεν υπερ δυναμιν ωστε εξαπορηθηναι ημασ και του ζην
9 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,
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 out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
οσ εκ τηλικουτου θανατου ερρυσατο ημασ και ρυεται εισ ον ηλπικαμεν οτι και ετι ρυσεται
11 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.
συνυπουργουντων και υμων υπερ ημων τη δεησει ινα εκ πολλων προσωπων το εισ ημασ χαρισμα δια πολλων ευχαριστηθη υπερ υμων
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 did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;
η γαρ καυχησισ ημων αυτη εστιν το μαρτυριον τησ συνειδησεωσ ημων οτι εν απλοτητι και ειλικρινεια θεου 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 ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge,
ου γαρ αλλα γραφομεν υμιν αλλ η α αναγινωσκετε η και επιγινωσκετε ελπιζω δε οτι και εωσ τελουσ επιγνωσεσθε
14 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;
καθωσ και επεγνωτε ημασ απο μερουσ οτι καυχημα υμων εσμεν καθαπερ και υμεισ ημων εν τη ημερα του κυριου ιησου
15 and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you before, that a second favour ye might have,
και ταυτη τη πεποιθησει εβουλομην ελθειν προσ υμασ το προτερον ινα δευτεραν χαριν εχητε
16 and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward 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, 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?
τουτο ουν βουλευομενοσ 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 unto you became not Yes and No,
πιστοσ δε ο θεοσ οτι ο λογοσ ημων ο προσ υμασ ουκ εγενετο ναι και ου
19 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;
ο γαρ του θεου υιοσ 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 και εν αυτω το αμην τω θεω προσ δοξαν δι ημων
21 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did anoint us, [is] God,
ο δε βεβαιων ημασ συν υμιν εισ χριστον και χρισασ ημασ θεοσ
22 who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
ο και σφραγισαμενοσ ημασ και δουσ τον αρραβωνα του πνευματοσ εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων
23 And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth;
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 the faith ye stand.
ουχ οτι κυριευομεν υμων τησ πιστεωσ αλλα συνεργοι εσμεν τησ χαρασ υμων τη γαρ πιστει εστηκατε
